Once we were married, I“retired” to be a stay-at-home mom. Back inWinchester, I witnessed many school studentsbecome Catholic, bringing their parents and relativesinto the faith with them. I believe strongly that thevalue of Catholic schools is not simply to educatechildren but to create saints and to bring families toknow and love our Lord Jesus.
