At Opening of Schools Mass, educators called to ‘teach the fullness of the Catholic faith’
As they embark on a new academic year, Catholic school administrators, educators and parents must work together to provide students with “basic foundational lessons for living that we learn early in childhood and continue to need and to reference throughout our adult lives,” Washington Cardinal Wilton Gregory said Aug. 30.
Celebrating Mass to mark the opening of schools in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, Cardinal Gregory called Catholic schools “arenas where we build on the wisdom and the faith that children must find first in their homes.”
