Wonderful post. If I had it to do over, I would put my children in Catholic School. My husband said we couldn’t afford it.
But, oh, how I wish I had not listened at that time.
Bfl.
Boy do I feel ill equiped for my motherhood vocation right now. I was raised in a non-religious Episcopalian household in a totally secular environment. My husband is FIRMLY lapsed and I’ve only been blessed to be in the Church for less than two years. We are fortunate to live in a parish with its own lovely school so that is where we have enrolled our oldest in preK. I’ve really been praying for the school to help me show her God’s love because I don’t get any backup at home and don’t have any examples from my own upbringing to guide me (besides some good “what not to do” whoppers, LOL), so I feel like I’m flubbing it, basically. I suppose my first step should be to put my foot down that we ALL go to Mass TOGETHER, huh?
