Montini Catholic celebrated the beginning of Catholic Schools Week (now entering its ​52nd ​year) with a special Mass on Monday, January 2​6th.  As with every year, students began their week-long celebration by focusing on the value of Catholic education and to acknowledge and thank the community, friends and family members for recognizing this value.  Celebrating the Mass with the students this year was Father Shaun Cieslik from St. Mary of​ Gostyn in Downers Grove.
