Reviving Catholic education and preserving it into the next generation is no small task. It will take committed leaders across the country stepping up to help in ways small and large.
By advocating for school choice policies, you can make a difference not only for your community today but for those to come.
According to data released this fall by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), Catholic schools welcomed 62,000 new students to their classrooms this academic year. This marked an uptick nationally by 3.8 percent — the first time Catholic school enrollment has increased in the United States in 25 years. That brings the total number of children currently being educated in parochial schools to nearly 1.68 million.
The boom has presented an opportunity in dioceses across the country, including the oldest… Why is this an opportunity? Because it allows dioceses the chance to creatively and effectively make use of additional resources in a way that prioritizes the catechesis and evangelization of a generation that the Church desperately needs, and at the same time strengthens the Catholic identity of indispensable religious institutions.
