Honoring the contributions of Catholic schools. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 20, 2004
Mr. VITTER (for himself, Mr. BOEHNER, Mr. HOEKSTRA, Mr. CASTLE, Mr. 
TIBERI, Mr. GINGREY, Mr. FOLEY, Mr. KING of New York, Mr.

PASCRELL, Mr. NUSSLE, and Mr. BISHOP of New York) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education 
and the Workforce 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the contributions of Catholic schools.
Whereas America’s Catholic schools are internationally ac-
claimed for their academic excellence, but provide stu-
dents more than a superior scholastic education; 
Whereas Catholic schools ensure a broad, values-added edu-
cation emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, in-
tellectual, physical, and social values in America’s young 
people; 
Whereas the total Catholic school student enrollment for the 
2003–2004 academic year is 2,600,000 and the student-
teacher ratio is 17 to 1; 
Whereas Catholic schools teach a diverse group of students;
•HRES 492 IH 
Whereas more than 26 percent of school children enrolled in 
Catholic schools are from minority backgrounds, and 
more than 14 percent are non-Catholics; 
Whereas Catholic schools produce students strongly dedicated 
to their faith, values, families, and communities by pro-
viding an intellectually stimulating environment rich in 
spiritual, character, and moral development; 
Whereas in the 1972 pastoral message concerning Catholic 
education, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops 
stated: ‘‘Education is one of the most important ways by 
which the Church fulfills its commitment to the dignity 
of the person and building of community. Community is 
central to education ministry, both as a necessary condi-
tion and an ardently desired goal. The educational efforts 
of the Church, therefore, must be directed to forming 
persons-in-community; for the education of the individual 
Christian is important not only to his solitary destiny, 
but also the destinies of the many communities in which 
he lives.’’; and 
Whereas January 25–31, 2004, has been designated as 
Catholic Schools Week by the National Catholic Edu-
cational Association and the United States Conference of 
Catholic Bishops, an event celebrating its 30th year: 
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals of Catholic Schools 
Week, an event co-sponsored by the National Catho-
lic Educational Association and the United States 
Conference of Catholic Bishops and established to 
recognize the vital contributions of America’s thou-
•HRES 492 IH 
sands of Catholic elementary and secondary schools; 
and 
(2) congratulates Catholic schools, students, 
parents, and teachers across the Nation for their on-
going contributions to education, and for the key 
role they play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, 
stronger future for this Nation.
