Senate Resolution No. recognizes January 26 to February 1, 2025, as Catholic Schools Week in Michigan. The resolution highlights the significant role of Catholic schools in the state, noting that they serve 51,497 students across 214 institutions. It emphasizes the importance of education in promoting religion, morality, and knowledge, as stated in the Michigan Constitution. Additionally, it points out that Catholic school parents contribute both tuition and taxes to support public education, and that Catholic schools adhere to the same health and safety regulations as public schools. The resolution also underscores the financial savings Catholic schools provide to taxpayers, estimated at over $494 million for the current school year, and their commitment to instilling moral and social values in students.

The resolution further acknowledges the positive impact of Catholic schools on the community, including their high academic standards, graduation rates, and dedication to service. It recognizes that many students in Catholic schools are non-Catholic and economically disadvantaged, reinforcing the idea that education is a pathway out of poverty. The theme for Catholic Schools Week, "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community," is endorsed, and the resolution expresses support for the ongoing commitment of Catholic schools to academic excellence and community service. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Michigan Catholic Conference to convey the Senate's esteem for Catholic education.
