We, as Catholics, have a duty to be the church in our every day life. We believe Catholic schools are at the heart of the Catholic Church. We believe the long term benefits of keeping Catholic schools open with five day in person instruction is essential.  We believe in personal choice and personal decisions for our children. We believe Catholic schools have an opportunity to take the lead during this time keeping their schools open. We are making the statement that education in the school building is absolutely essential and should not be stripped from our children. Face to face learning is the best option for our children. How can we be Catholic behind computers all day? How can we be Catholic when we are not as a family in school leading the community?
