About this sermon
One bill in Congress if passed could make it more affordable to send your children to Catholic schools and other religious institutions. It's called the Educational Choice for Children Act of 2024. It will support low-income students through charitable contributions and scholarship funds. The bill passed the Ways and Means Committee back in September and is waiting to be brought to the House floor for a vote. The author of the new legislation, Nebraska Republican Congressman Adrian Smith, discusses how the Educational Choice for Children Act would expand educational freedom for parents of young kids and even opportunity for students. Smith shares how specifically this bill would generate new investments in scholarships for K-12 tuition and educational resources. We have seen through the success of school choice initiatives across the country how parents are empowered with the freedom to decide where to send their children to school even if that is a religious institution like parochial schools. Smith tells us how that can make a difference in a child's life and how many kids this could affect. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
