This week marks Catholic Schools Week across the nation as Catholic schools are celebrating the arrival of a week that features spiritual, academic, and fun activities. The theme this year is: Catholic Schools - Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service. Taylorville Mayor Greg Brotherton read the proclamation at St. Mary’s School in Taylorville on Friday. Brotherton told Regional Radio News he always looks forward to reading the proclamation by kicking off the special week.

Brotherton commended Principal Cathy Robertson and St. Mary’s School as being a positive spot in the community.
