Weekly Update for Families on Catholic Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Dear School Families,
We need your help. To ensure that Catholic schools receive equitable consideration for funds within the CARES Act, we urge all faculty, board members, parents and stakeholders to complete and submit the Private School Support in CARES Act Petition using the link below. Your diligent work in sharing the link to additional key stakeholders is greatly appreciated, as it will benefit all Catholic school students.
Submit a petition to Governor Baker here: https://forms.gle/SbQLsZx9fLxRcTXM7
In Christ,
Tom
Thomas W. Carroll
Superintendent of Schools
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston
Happy Easter and THANK You!
