"Let’s hear it for the intrepid staff at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J., who have not only embarked on a bold multimedia fundraising campaign to secure the school’s future, Anthony 2020, but have also created a new online community, Faith in Education, showcasing the success stories of Catholic schools across the country. The site’s creators hope to spark conversation about Catholic schools on a national level.


Kathleen Staudt, development director of St. Anthony’s, bluntly describes the shuttering of Catholic schools in America as “a national crisis.”  “Those involved are passionate about the issue,” she says, “but the stories across the United States are told regionally and sporadically. We thought we could do a real service to the community by gathering them and sharing them on a daily basis.”"

Commentary: Indeed, it has been a national crisis; a crisis that its roots from decades prior.
