I have been involved in Catholic education my entire life. All my own
education was in a Catholic setting, predominantly with a Franciscan
influence. My graduate degree is in Christian Spirituality from Creighton
University in Omaha. I am also a certified Spiritual Director trained in
Ignatian Spirituality. I have taught in Catholic schools, middle and high
school levels, for 20 years. I also was a parish Director of Religious
Education for 5 years.
I believe that students need to learn the basics of the Catholic faith:
vocabulary, traditions, rituals, prayer life, saints, justice and service.
Learning the faith is an academic discipline as well as a spiritual journey.
Students are encouraged to think and be articulate about their faith, and
practice their faith in a lifelong, meaningful way.
