Fenwick Celebrates Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week at Fenwick High School invites us to pause and recognize the gift of a Dominican education. Throughout the week, we celebrate not only academic excellence, but the formation of hearts, minds, and spirits rooted in faith, truth, and service. In classrooms, liturgies, service projects, and moments of prayer, we see the Four Pillars of Dominican life—prayer, study, community, and preaching—come alive in daily practice.  Celebrating the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas on Wednesday will be the highlight of the week! 

This week reminds us that education at Fenwick is more than preparation for college and a successful career. It is a sacred mission: to help young people discover their God-given dignity, cultivate virtue, and learn to use their gifts in service of others. Teachers, coaches, counselors, support staff and students together form a community dedicated to seeking truth and witnessing to Christ in the world. 

As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we give thanks for the grace that shapes our school and renew our commitment to forming compassionate leaders who will preach the Gospel through the example of their lives.
