Salina Catholic Schools Families,
As we wrap up another incredible school year, we invite you to read a special end-of-year reflection from our Superintendent of Schools, Geoff Andrews. His article, Disciples on Mission: A Year of Growth, Grace, and Gratitude, highlights the amazing things happening across our Catholic schools in the Diocese of Salina—from student service projects and faith formation to new facilities and academic excellence.
You’ll also learn about how our students are answering Bishop Vincke’s call to pray A Million Memorares, and how supporters are making Catholic education more accessible through scholarships.

Take a moment to read and be inspired by all that God is doing in our schools. And don’t forget to follow the Salina Diocese Catholic Schools Facebook page to stay connected throughout the summer!

This powerful prayer initiative unites our Catholic communities across the Salina Diocese in seeking Our Lady’s intercession for a future filled with faith and hope. Imagine the grace that can flow from one million voices lifted in trust!
