“Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” These are well-known words spoken by Jesus to his disciples. As parents brought their children to meet our Lord, the disciples reprimanded them. Jesus made clear that the young need to meet and to know him. This duty has served as the foundation for the Church’s support of faith formation, particularly the construction of Catholic schools, for centuries.

The Catholic School Collection was started by Bishop Thomas Daly in 2019.
The collection invites the 82 parishes in Eastern Washington to engage in a diocesan-wide effort to provide additional financial support to the 13 parish schools during Catholic Schools Week.
Catholic schools provide solid academics, form children to be community-minded and build their faith life in a community that knows the importance of a relationship with our savior Jesus Christ.
Every Catholic in the diocese is encouraged to support our schools, as the entire body of Christ in Eastern Washington benefits from a robust Catholic education system. Catholic schools are a force for good; your support will help the schools continue to strengthen and grow.
