Catholic Schools Week means grandparents' day, open houses, special prayers, and projects filled with gratitude spilling out of the Catholic Schools of Cook and Lake Counties. When the National Catholic Educational Association marketed the theme “dividends for life,” it was uncannily close to our Archdiocesan “Lessons that Last a Lifetime” annual report focus. If you call up the report, you can read the data and experience the generous spirit that always makes me smile.

His review was thorough and careful - and he asked me to make the follow-up calls.
