that support the schools. Looking at

our Catholic schools from this per-

spective, we see them as evangelizing communities— places where people

see and experience dedicated faculty

and staff who share their faith and

knowledge with our children. In the

formation process that takes place, families experience the importance of

their relationship with a faith commu-

nity and then reach out to the parishes

as their home.

The place where all this begins is

often during the preparation that

children have for celebration of the

Sacraments: First Reconciliation, First

Communion, and Confirmation. The preparation and celebration of these

sacraments is parish-based and always

involves the families.

I invite you to consider our Catholic Schools as a

wonderful opportunity for

your children to grow

spiritually, intellectually,

and as whole persons. Many children of our

parish attend the GRACE

School nearest us: Holy

Family School: located on

the campus of St. Agnes

Parish. A large contingent of high school students

attend Notre Dame

Academy. There is finan-

cial aid available to help

families afford these school

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

I have been doing a fair amount of

reflecting on the value of a Catholic

School education. The occasion of

this reflection has been the recent

“Founders Award” that I received

from Notre Dame de la Baie. I was one of the founding board members of

the school that formed from the former

Premontre, St. Joseph’s Academy and

Abbot Pennings High Schools.

When I was young,

Catholic

school

education was

taken for granted. Most

parishes had

their own grade school, religious

sisters taught there, and only a small

minority of Catholic children attended

public schools. It was assumed that this was the major ministry of a

parish, and the parish and its school

was the center of community life. I

attended St. Paul Grade School in

Manitowoc.

How perspectives have changed over

the years! People today have so many

“centers” of community life to choose

from: team sports, travel and cot-tages, work relationships, care of par-

ents and grandparents, shopping, and

of course, a home where both parents

probably hold full-time jobs.

Bishop Ricken suggests that we look

at our Catholic grade and high schools

from a whole different perspective

today. Often they are the point of entry for families to become engaged

in the faith. From the healthy contact

with the school-faith community, they

then become involved in the parishes

systems and, as you know, school

choice provides vouchers for people

to attend private schools.

Often it is grandparents who encour-

age and financially support their

grandchildren who wish to attend our

Catholic Schools. Our parish also

subsidizes the GRACE system as well as Notre Dame Academy. A major

part of our budget is dedicated to

these schools. We would love to have

more families consider sending their

children to them.

Points of entry into the faith commu-nity are many. Each have value.

Don’t minimize the window of oppor-

tunity that is provided by our Catholic

Schools!

Helping Our Immigrant Neighbors —Mondays—

May 15, 22, and June 5 6:30 to 8:30pm

The U.S. Catholic Church is an immigrant Church. It has a long history of embracing diverse newcomers

and providing assistance and pastoral care to immi-

grants, migrants, refugees, and people on the

move. Jesus calls us to “welcome the stranger among

us” for in this encounter with the immigrant, the mi-grant, and the refugee in our midst, we encounter

Christ.

At these sessions . . .

▪ Learn the facts about undocumented immi-

grants.

▪ Hear about key issues that impact lives.

▪ Dispel myths about our immigrant neighbors

who live, work, and pay taxes in the Green Bay

community.
