Fr. Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Catholic Education

• Why is Catholic schools week important?
• (4:46) what does the Church teach about Catholic education?
• What is the connection between the intellect and the will?
• (17:35) Nicole - My experience....My grandchildren are going to Catholic school. My daughter also went. I used to volunteer. I most admire is that I attend the children's Mass and we end with adoration. Getting used to adoration and the importance of a relationship with Jesus.

(22:00) Break 1

• (23:25) Ann - I had Catholic education back in the 40's and 50's. I thank God for it every day. Those nuns really instilled the faith.
• (26:15) Tammy - I am a product of Catholic schools from the 70's and 80's. I have 4 kids. One struggled academically. Just wondering if the school system is looking into this. Not everyone is academic. Do they have other avenues to help people?
• (31:50) Carol - Our Catholic school closed 7 years ago. Wanted to re-open, but I get backlash every time it comes up. Any advice?

(35:43) Break 2

• What should parents be looking for in Catholic Schools?
• (40:24) Alex - I'm dating someone right now. Trying to figure out where to educate my kids once we have them. There is a local SSPX school. It looks like it's the only place I can afford to send them. What should I do about that?
• Can you send your kids to a non-Catholic school?
• (44:17) what are the biggest challenges facing Catholic schools today?
• (48:03)  Maria - We've been blessed with our kid's education. Just wanted to give a quick testimony.
