The Archdiocese of New York's Touring Tuesdays start Feb. 11 as a way "to show families the benefits of a faith-based education," representatives said. The tours are set to "offer a new way to invite prospective families to experience Catholic elementary schools in action and to meet with principals, faculty and students to learn more about programs from Pre-K 3 through Grade 8 and the enrollment process," representatives said. 

The school year marks the first time all nine regions in the Archdiocese of New York will be engaged in the program, representatives said. 

"Choosing the right school is one of the most important choices a parent can make for their child’s future," stated Dr. Timothy McNiff, Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of New York. " 'Touring Tuesdays’ are a wonderful opportunity for parents to learn about the benefits of a faith-based education."

Cardinal Timothy Dolan is an avid supporter of the initiative, will participate in an open house with a tour of Our Lady of Lourdes School in Manhattan on Feb. 11.

Reservations are required to participate in the open houses and can be made online or by calling a 24-hour bilingual hotline, 646-794-2885. Additional “Touring Tuesdays" are scheduled for Mar.11 and May 13.
