The theme this year is Catholic Schools: Normal Lives, Called to holiness!
The 2026 theme invites pupils, teachers, families, parishes and Families of Parishes to explore the call to holiness as something both universal and accessible. Holiness is not for a few, but for all; not reserved for religious professionals or mystics, but for every student, teacher, parent, and grandparent living each day in friendship with Jesus Christ.
Resources relating to Catholic Schools Week for use in parishes and schools (both primary and post-primary) are available here Catholic Schools Week Resources

We give thanks for the great work of our Catholic schools and pray for all involved.
