Happy 16th Birthday Catherine Therese!!

Although you'll never read this my sweet Catherine, I love you. 16 years ago you changed our life forever. All of your siblings have done this in their own way but you have done so in a very special way. You have made me more empathetic, compassionate, and much more prayerful. Your smile lights up the world around you and we are all blessed by it.  It's not easy living with a saint. You remind me of my weakness and limited time on this earth. You challenge me to go deeper within myself and find what the Lord is trying to teach me...usually patience. You are made in His image and likeness but He uses you so that I can see my own beauty, goodness, and shortcomings.  You struggle mightily against me with every bath, diaper change, and wardrobe change. I struggle mightily with Him against all the changes He wills in my life. You depend on me and your mom for even the simplest of things. You teach me to depend on Him for everything and not rely on my on strength. You teach me that I

Pope John Paul II Catholic School in NE Minneapolis is the best because it catechizes the students in the fullness the faith well with weekly Mass plus individual monthly Mass for each class, weekly Rosary, multi-age classes (students attend the level of education they are ready for in each subject), they have many students from immigrant families and offer a diverse environment built upon respect, and teach their students responsibility and how to give back to the community.
Students who would get 'lost in the cracks' at bigger schools do well here and are well prepared for high school.

As a parent of a student from Garces Memorial Hg School in Bakersfield, California let me comment. In todays economy to put your child in private education is a sacrafice, to have your child attend Garces Memorial High School in Bakersfield is a blessing. We are blessed to have a school that holds on to creed's of Integrity, Courage of Faith, Respect and Compassion. This Catholic Hg school prepares college ready students of the highest degree. I am so thankful that my daughter has been a part of this 65 year old tradition of Catholic Education.

I think our Pre-School PSR Program at St. Michael's in Worthington is the best as it is one of the only pre-school programs in the Columbus area. We teach children from age 3 yrs to Kindergarten basics about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Rosary, and the parts of the Mass. We even have music twice a month and sing all the Bible songs we all grew up singing. Thanks and good luck to all! Debbie Joyce
