“It is the responsibility of the entire Catholic community-bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and laity-to continue to strive towards the goal of making our Catholic elementary and secondary schools available, accessible, and affordable to all Catholic parents and their children, including those who are poor and middle class.” Renewing Our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Third Millennium, 2005 These Catholic schools afford the fullest and best opportunity to realize the fourfold purpose of Christian education, namely to provide an atmosphere in which the Gospel message is proclaimed, community in Christ is experienced, service to our sisters and brothers is the norm, and thanksgiving and worship of our God is cultivated. Renewing Our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Third Millennium, 2005 Catholic schools have a lower dropout rate (3.4 percent) than both public (14.4 percent) and other private schools (11.9 percent). Ninety-nine percent of Catholic high school students graduate, and 97 percent go on to some form of poste-secondary education. Catholic school students continue to score well on standardized tests (such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress) in subjects such as reading, mathematics, social studies, and science, often surpassing standards established by federal and/or state agencies. A Harvard University study issued in 2000 reported that Catholic school students performed better than other students on the three basic objectives of civic education-the capacity for civic engagement (e.g., voluntary community service), political knowledge (e.g., learning and using civic skills), and political tolerance (e.g., respect for opinions different from their own). Renewing Our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Third Millennium, 2005 Sociologists like Father Greeley, in his book Catholic Schools in a Declining Church (1976), and Mary Gautier, in her more recent article “Does Catholic Education Make a Difference?” (National Catholic Reporter, 9/30/05), have found that graduates of Catholic schools are notably different from Catholic children not in parochial schools in four important areas: 1) fidelity to Sunday Mass and a keener sense of prayer; 2) maintaining pro-life attitudes, especially on the pivotal topic of abortion; 3) the personal consideration of a religious vocation and 4) continued support for the local church and community, both financially and through service projects, for the balance of their adult lives.

Dear Father Gerry,

Thanks to you and the parishioners of Our Lady of Las Vegas for the generous donation of 538 toys this holiday season. With your help, we were able to provide toys for nearly 1,000 children in our Women, Infant and Children Program, which provides food, nutritional education and other resources to low-income families in our community. They also have year-round access to our Community Meal or Hands of Hope Community Food Pantry. For many ot these families, it can be a struggle to offer nutritious food for their children, let alone a gift for the holidays. Your donations allow us to continue to focus on ways we can bring joy, comfort, and lift the spirits of our brothers and sisters in need, especially at this time of year.

Thank you again for your generous support. May God continue to bless you and your parish. Fraternally, Deacon Thomas A. Roberts President/CEO

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, On the weekend of January 25 and 26, 2020, our Diocese will take up a collection for the Church in Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe. This collection helps to share the faith in mountainous regions of Peru where most of the people speak Quechua. For example, to better evangelize and catechize, the parish of Santiago Apostol led a project to prepare Quechua-language audiovisual materials on the Sacred Scriptures and furnished a room to serve as a library to hold these resources. This collection also helps our brothers and sisters in Armenia who have experienced persecution and displacement throughout their history and now live scattered throughout former Soviet bloc countries of Georgia, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Coping with difficult circumstances and isolated from their religious and cultural heritage, Armenian Catholic youth are particularly vulnerable. Your support in this collection for the Church in Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe helps provide the means for rebuilding churches, strengthening seminary programs, and offering religious education to children and families. In this Jubilee year for our Diocese, please be generous in your missionary outreach to Catholics living in these diverse parts of the world. Thank you, and may the Lord bless you for your generosity and faith. Sincerely yours in Christ, + George Leo Thomas Bishop of Las Vegas
