"Archbishop George Lucas of the Archdiocese of Omaha and Bishop Daniel Flores of the Diocese of Brownsville recently spoke to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) about the mission of Catholic schools and their connection to the New Evangelization, according to a news release from the USCCB. The U.S. bishops are currently meeting in Baltimore for their Fall General Assembly.
Archbishop Lucas, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Catholic Education, said that “The New Evangelization calls us to open up an inviting space where God’s grace can take hold and bear fruit, to welcome the Spirit in ways that support conversion, touch the heart, and inspire, “according to the release. Catholic schools are an important part of that calling, as their community spirit results in “higher levels of student engagement and achievement,” Archbishop Lucas explained."
