5,900 Catholic Schools in the US Serving 1.7 Million Students | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US is in the middle of Catholic Schools Week. The initiative began in 1974. This year's theme is "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community". According to numbers from the National Catholic Education Association, there are 5,900 Catholic schools in the United States and they serve almost 1.7 million students, and nearly a quarter of them are part of a racial minority. President of the National Catholic Education Association, Lincoln Snyder, joins to give us a snapshot of how Catholic schools are doing in the US. An opinion piece in the National Catholic Register says classical education is on the rise in Catholic schools. Snyder shares whether he sees that as well and what other trends he is noticing. Snyder fills us in on what else is going on regarding Catholic Schools and tells us why parents should send their children to Catholic schools. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
