Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) has joined Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and a group of Republican colleagues in introducing a resolution designating October 5–11, 2025, as Religious Education Week. The resolution highlights the importance of faith-based learning and recognizes schools, churches, and other organizations that provide religious education to students across the United States.
“It’s truly a blessing that so many children across our country are able to attend schools where they can deepen their faith alongside their other studies,” said Senator Britt. “Safeguarding religious education and religious freedom is fundamental to our core American values. Ahead of Religious Education Week, I applaud all schools, churches, teachers, and families who make faith-based learning possible.”
The resolution was co-sponsored by 26 senators, including Senators Jim Banks (R-IN), John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), John Curtis (R-UT), Steve Daines (R-MT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford (R-OK), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Ashley Moody (R-FL), James Risch (R-ID), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), and Todd Young (R-IN).
The resolution has received endorsements from several faith-based organizations, including the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty, Agudath Israel of America, Coalition for Jewish Values, Foundation for American Christian Education, School Time Bible Ministries, Association of Christian Schools International, and Catholic Education Partners Inc.
Senator Britt has consistently emphasized her support for protecting religious freedom and promoting faith-based education, having also co-sponsored similar legislation in the 118th Congress.
