COVID-19 and Catholic Schools

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has required rapid changes to education, including the work of educators in Catholic schools. In order to document and respond to the changes experienced by Catholic school communities, the Journal of Catholic Education is pleased to present this special issue COVID-19 and Catholic Schools.

This special issue provides a forum for sharing information about how Catholic PK-12 schools, colleges, and universities are responding to the pandemic and the pivots in instruction, communication, administration, and ministry it has necessitated. Throughout the summer and fall of 2020, we collected submissions of reports, research, and commentary related to Catholic schools’ responses to the pandemic.

On behalf of the Journal's Governing and Editorial Boards, we hope you find this special issue useful, thought-provoking, and a reminder of the strength of the worldwide community of Catholic educators.
