Here are the key things Catholic education meant to you at different stages of your life:
- In elementary school (K-5), Catholic education was simply education. You knew of public schools and that Catholic schools taught the Catholic faith through prayer, religion lessons, and masses. However, as a young student, the faith elements didn't really mean much to you personally.
- In high school, Catholic education grew in meaning as you developed intellectually and spiritually. You became engaged with social justice teachings and developing your own faith. Service experiences strengthened your values of compassion and helping others in need.
- Now as a young adult, Catholic education continues to influence you deeply. It shaped your worldview and commitment to social justice issues
