Catholic Schools Week

Wailuku—Mayor Charmaine Tavares signed a proclamation on January 25, 2008 declaring the week of January 27th thru February 1st Catholic Schools Week on the island of Maui. Various events are held throughout the week beginning on Sunday. Teachers and staff from all of the Catholic schools on Maui will gather for a special mass on Monday at St. Anthony Church and will have the honor of having the Superintendent of Catholic Schools in Hawaii, Dr. Carmen Himenes join them as their guest speaker. The proclamation congratulates the students, parents and teachers for their ongoing contributions to education and for the key role they play in working toward a brighter, stronger future for our island and state. It was especially wonderful for the youth in attendance to have the honor of meeting the Mayor whom is a product of Catholic education having attended St. Joseph School in Makawao and graduating from St. Anthony High School.
