“The school is stronger in its Catholic identity and its intellectual formation because of this priority. The Eucharist has to be the heart of the school, or the school has zero hope of forming true missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.” It's encouraging to see ICLE Premier Member, Assumption Catholic School outside of Denver, CO, institute Daily Mass in their community. It can be a logistical hurdle, but the graces received are well worth the challenge.

“We’ve transformed our curriculum. We’ve emboldened our staff. We’ve leaned into our identity as Catholics, and with it, we’ve seen growth... enrollment has increased by 35 percent since July 2023." It has been a great joy to work with St. Mary School in Delaware, OH, over the past couple of years. Thanks be to God for the openness and determination of these educators — it is bearing much fruit! https://lnkd.in/eBXrqexS
