Grateful for a partnership rooted in our shared mission. 💙

After receiving hundreds of donated basketballs from the Jundt Art Museum at Gonzaga University, students across our Catholic schools created artwork of their own to say thank you to Gonzaga University.

As the Gonzaga Men's Basketball team take the courts this March, know that our students are cheering you on! Thank you for supporting the next generation and for making an impact that goes far beyond the game. 🏀

A meaningful start to Lent at Gonzaga Prep as Bishop Daly celebrated Ash Wednesday Mass with the school community. As we received ashes, we were reminded of God’s love, our need for repentance, and the call to return to Him with open hearts. May students across the diocese be strengthened through prayer, sacrifice, and renewal throughout this Lenten season.

On January 28, 2026, students and staff from 12 of our Catholic schools gathered at Our Lady of Lourdes to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Most Rev. Thomas Daly presided and offered a beautiful homily on wisdom, fittingly aligned with the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas. A beautiful reminder of our shared mission to form hearts and minds in faith.

Bishop, Blessings & Basketballs! 🏀

What started as a simple email turned into 400 brand-new basketballs for our Catholic schools across Eastern Washington! Thanks to the generosity of Gonzaga University, Jundt Art Museum, and artist David Huffman, students will soon be dribbling, shooting, and playing their way through PE, recess, and team practices.

Before hitting the road, Bishop Daly blessed the basketballs - praying for our students and reminding us that even the ordinary can be placed in God’s hands. Then our Office of Catholic Education team delivered to 13 schools across the diocese, spreading joy one gym at a time.

A perfect way to close out Catholic Schools Week - through partnership, faith, and a whole lot of teamwork. 💙🏀❤️

Our Teachers: From One Classroom to Another

Catholic school educators across the Diocese of Spokane are strengthening their ability to serve students with diverse learning needs (those who may experience learning differences, behavioral challenges, or physical disabilities) through a new partnership with Gonzaga University and the Nazareth Guild. This fall, teachers and administrators completed the inaugural Certificate in Inclusive Education, a 14-week pilot program designed specifically for our diocese's Catholic schools in Eastern Washington.

Developed in response to diocesan educators’ needs, the program equips teachers with practical strategies to better support all learners in their classrooms. With significant support from the Nazareth Guild, this collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Catholic education and ensuring every student is welcomed and supported.

"Over the past few years, our principals and teachers have been clear that their greatest unmet need is support for students with unique learning and behavioral needs. Unfortunately, our schools don’t have the same access to specialists as public systems do, so classroom teachers are carrying out much of this work themselves. This course is a concrete response to the request of the Catholic schools of Eastern Washington."

- Dr. TJ Romano, Ed. D, Superintendent of Catholic Education

This Thanksgiving, we’re especially grateful for our educators across the diocese who inspire faith, nurture character, and ignite a love of learning in our students. Take a moment this season to thank them, encourage them, and lift them up in prayer.

May God bless you with wisdom, patience, and joy in your work; may His grace guide you and give you strength.
