Local schools look a little brighter in celebration of Catholic Schools Week
Catholic Schools Week is underway for Erie's Catholic School System.
A principal of one of the schools reacted to the importance of sharing this year's message.
Catholic Schools week began on Monday with a special mass led by Bishop Lawrence Persico.
The principal of Saint Luke Catholic School Haley Kolash said their theme is 'be the light.'
Over $180K in grant funding awarded to Erie Co. community centers
The school has decorated its hallways with strings of lights and crafts in accordance with the message.
'It's important to show how we can spread our faith within our community and how we can find the face of Christ in every situation we're faced in, and teaching our students how we can go out into the world and share kindness and share what we do here every day,' said Kolash.
Activities for the students this week include a drive for the humane society and collecting items for the Kids Cafe.
On Tuesday the students participated in a 'comfy cozy day' while enjoying ice cream sundaes.
