COVID-19 Relief for Catholic Schools

As Congress looks to be wrapping up deliberations this week on COVID-19 Relief, please let your members of Congress know that Catholic Schools should NOT be excluded from education relief!  Nonpublic schools, including Catholic Schools, educate approximately 10% of ALL students in the U.S., many of whom are from struggling communities.  Please ask Congress to include our students in COVID-19 Relief Aid using this link:

This pandemic has seriously affected all students and families;  please tell your Congressional Representatives that ALL STUDENTS need COVID-19 Relief, and they should not leave Catholic and other nonpublic school students out in the cold!
