A resolution supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States and celebrating the 52nd annual National Catholic Schools Week.
Summary
S.Res. 594 is a non-binding Senate resolution that expresses support for Catholic schools across the United States and celebrates the 52nd annual National Catholic Schools Week. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a congressional tribute recognizing the contributions and role of Catholic educational institutions in American education.
The resolution was introduced on January 29, 2026, by Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and passed the Senate the same day by unanimous consent without amendment. While the resolution acknowledges Catholic schools' educational mission and their place in the nation's educational landscape, it has no direct practical impact on citizens, funding, or school operations. It represents a symbolic gesture of congressional recognition rather than substantive policy change.
