A common myth about Catholic schools is that they cater to the elite and wealthy. While this is not true, there are in fact many Catholic schools whose students come from privileged families. If you happen to teach in such a school, be sure to read Laura’s post at Catholic Teacher Musings, “Signs That I Might Be Doing Something Right.”

The Catholic Church has always taught about a preferential option for the poor, but that doesn’t mean the fortunate don’t need evangelizing as well. As Laura’s friend prophetically said, “Who is going to teach the fortunate to care for the less fortunate?”

    I must say I came to this blog because I was curious to see who was behind such a good answer to Laura’s post! :)

    I totally second above post. Laura is doing a wonderful job at evangelizing her students, as well as her readers :)
