Catholic schools’ indispensable role in leadership, formation

C

an you imagine the American Catholic Church today without Catholic schools? I certainly cannot. Since 1727, when the Ursuline sisters founded their academy in New Orleans, Catholic schools have taught America’s children. The schools educated the sons and daughters of immigrants. They also opened their doors to the children of farmers and merchants, to the affluent and powerful, and to the poorest of the poor. In offering an aspirational educational opportunity, ARCHBISHOP always wedded to the SALVATORE J. Catholic faith, the schools CORDILEONE left an indelible mark on the Church and on American society.

Catholic schools are a gift from the Church and a gift to the Church. And despite current trends toward smaller enrollments and all-tofrequent closings, Catholic schools are arguably as important to the mission of the Church today as they ever have been. Maybe even more so.

There are daunting challenges facing the Church in these times and addressing them is the responsibility of all those who minister in the Church. Very often, however, we turn to the schools to show us the way. This is an unfair burden to place on our Catholic schools, to be sure. But the fact we naturally turn to them is understandable. It is also high praise for what they do.

Catholic schools have storied history in the

formation and development of American Catholics and Catholicism. Also, many of us went to Catholic school and we know firsthand the critical role that schooling played in who we have become. Both of these reasons incline us to look to our schools as “the” places that will make the difference for our Church moving forward.

But there is more than personal experience and history that draws our attention to schools for leadership these days.

Our schools are among the rare places in our fast-paced and fragmented world with the luxury of time to spend with young people each and every day and over the course of many years. True formation that shapes men and women of faith and wisdom and virtue takes time. It cannot be done quickly. Nor can it be accomplished without faithful and faith-filled mentors as guides or without the rituals and repetition and practices that cultivate a way of being in this world.

Catholic schools also have a unique relationship with families. With an eye to the future, parents and schools come together in a special partnership rooted in hope and with the express purpose of forming the next generation.

Catholic schools also reach beyond the students entrusted to their care to their families. In so doing the schools have nourished the families in the love of Jesus Christ and His Church and helped them in their search for the truth, beauty and goodness that lead ultimately to God. Catholic schools and the people who minister in them have an indispensable role to play in the Church today, as they always have. They deserve our attention, our commitment, our ongoing support and deepest gratitude for the work they do.

Catholic education: Academic excellence as a pathway to a greater good

H

appy Catholic Schools Week! I am so proud of the strong Catholic communities, innovative educational programs, and dedicated people we find at each of these schools. As you navigate this booklet, you may be wondering what is it that separates the Catholic high schools of the Archdiocese of San Francisco from the many other schools in Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo.

You may be asking yourself, why Catholic school?

When a child enters a Catholic school, they are treated as one of God’s beloved children, created in His image and likePAMELA LYONS ness, and as such are inherently good. In other words, all of our students are beloved because they are created by God. Catholic schools create educational opportunities that not only address the intellect, but of equal importance, the spiritual, moral, and social aspects of every child. We recognize the importance of academic excellence, and are diligent about ensuring that our students are receiving an education on par with, and in most cases, an education that greatly surpasses other local public and private institutions. The difference lies in our pursuit of academic excellence as a pathway to a greater good.

Archbishop discusses faith, reason, Catholic education LIDIA WASOWICZ CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

For Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, the second son and third of four children born into a Sicilian workingclass family of fishermen and farmers and schooled in the public system through his freshman year in college, Catholic education holds top priority as a transformative tool for forming faith, building bonds, constructing communities and strengthening society.

In a conversation with Catholic San Francisco, the archbishop shared his perspective on the importance and impact of Catholic schools.

Here are excerpts from the one-hour interview:

Q: In the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the angel shows George Bailey what his town would be like had he never been born. What would the San Francisco Bay Area be like had Catholic schools never been established here?

A: I think it would be similar to what the town would look like without George Bailey: so many missed opportunities, lives whose potential were not realized, so much more sadness. The Catholic schools are a real leaven in the wider society that precisely helps people realize their full potential, become the person God created them to be in their lives, provides the necessary vision. Even if the vast majority of students don’t go to Catholic schools, still it makes that vision present in the educational community

A: Catholic identity is more relevant today than ever before precisely because it’s an alternative view from the dehumanizing, secularizing trends but also a reaction on the other end of the political spectrum that wants to get in a war. We have this harsh rhetoric going on, and people attacking each other; we need the Catholic understanding of the human person.

I don’t know any other community that is more affirming of human dignity in every stage of life and in every condition of life than our own Catholic community.

Q: What are the three most important lessons a Catholic school can impart to its students?

A: Why they should be proud to be Catholic, the primacy of vocation, their purpose in life, and that Jesus Christ is at the center of their life.

Q: What grade would you give the schools in achieving these goals?

A: I wouldn’t be prepared to answer that question. What I would like to see is some longitudinal studies of how our graduates are doing after five and 10 years, not just in their career but in their life in general: If they’ve gotten married, are they still married, are they active in their parishes, active in giving back to the community. I came from a working-class family (his Sicilian paternal grandfather, father and three uncles were in the fishing business; his maternal grandfather came from a farming family in Sicily). My parents were married their whole life. We knew they were going to be. There was that stability, so we’ve all done well in life.

SEE ARCHBISHOP, PAGE CSW4

We support our Catholic Elementary Schools in celebrating

Catholic Schools Week

Q: What do you see as the most significant contributions of Catholic schools to the local area and beyond?

A: The first thing … would be preparing leaders for the future. So many great leaders in our community here and across the nation have been products of Catholic schools. More importantly though, it’s forming people in the faith and forming people to live excellent lives morally and spiritually, which contributes to a properly ordered society, a truly just society and a society that most closely reflects the kingdom of God.

Q: What do you consider the top objectives of Catholic education?

A: The top one is to make saints. That would be forming our young people in virtue. Our Catholic approach to understanding truth (is) using faith and reason working together. This is probably the greatest advantage of Catholic schools that we can bring in the dimension of faith. Without faith (and reason) we have one hand tied behind our back when it comes to apprehending truth.

Q: How important and why do you think it is for Catholic schools to provide education that is affordable and accessible to all?

A: It’s obviously hugely important because for families that are caught in the cycle of poverty Catholic schools sometimes (are) their only lifeline.

We do a great job of getting kids that come from a disadvantaged background, sometimes newly immigrated families where even English skills might not be adequate when they start school, graduated and into universities and really well educated and able to get back to the society and the life God calls them to live. The Cristo Rey model (see story on CSW5) is a new, creative idea that works too. We need that kind of thinking in the current context for Catholic education.

Q: What are the greatest challenges facing Catholic education in the Bay Area?

A: Affordability and accessibility probably (being) the first one and the other one being true to our vision of Catholic education in an increasingly secular society and one that is increasingly hostile to many of the core values of our faith. The third thing would be … family breakdown because what goes on in the home … affects a child’s education.

Q: What steps are being taken, will be taken and can be taken to solve some of these challenges?

A: We need to do a better job at preparing our young people for their vocation so we need better education in virtue and understanding the why behind the church’s teachings, especially the moral teachings.

God would not design the world in one way and then give us revealed truths that are different from let alone in conflict with them. They all fit together.

Q: How can schools retain their Catholic identity yet remain relevant in an increasingly secular society often at odds with church teaching?

ARCHBISHOP: Discusses faith, reason, Catholic education FROM PAGE CSW3

Q: A 2018 study shows many youths stop identifying as Catholic at a median age of 13, and even more leave the church by college. What role should Catholic schools play in trying to stymie this exodus?

A: Truth. They need to know the truth. The most common reason young people give (for leaving) is that … religion contradicts science … when in fact the church loves science because science and revealed truth work together.

Q: What are Catholic schools’ greatest strengths?

A: The greatest strengths are our schools are welcoming of everyone, and we do try hard to make them diverse not just ethnically but socioeconomically.

Q: What areas need most improvement?

A: We need a much deeper understanding of the faith, more than what we can get from just an hour at Mass on Sunday, a deeper formation at all levels, leaders, teachers as well as students.

Q: Among your myriad duties as shepherd of the San Francisco archdiocese, what priority do you place on those pertaining to education?

A: Everything having to do with formation is at the top of my priority list. That would be our schools, faith-formation programs, seminary.

Q: What do you see as your responsibility to, role in and relationship with Catholic schools and those who lead, attend and support them?

A: My role is I’m the shepherd so to attend to

Archbishop Cordileone toured classrooms at St. Brigid School in San Francisco Dec. 11, 2019. their pastoral needs. My responsibility would be to listen and to guide, to provide formation and respond to concerns and provide leadership and vision in collaboration with the other leaders in the educational community. [The archbishop meets annually with school administrators for Mass and meal and has visited every classroom of every elementary school over the past five years.]

Q: Are there any plans for restructuring, revamping, revising, revitalizing or reviewing the local Catholic school system this year and beyond?

A: What we’ve started to do in a few cases is have schools come under the direct management of the Department of Catholic Schools because it’s becoming harder and harder for pastors to do that directly themselves.

Catholic Elementary & Middle School Serving Transitional Kindergarten to 8th Grade Strong Visual Arts Program Project-Based Curriculum Daily French Instruction in All Grades Academic Decathlon Champions Successful Robotic Clubs Convenient Downtown Location Dynamic Parent Community CALL FOR A TOUR SCHEDULE

Q: What kinds of duties would be shifted from the pastor to the department of schools?

A: Supervising the principal, hiring and firing faculty, school policies.

Q: What do you envision for Catholic education in the Bay Area in another decade or so?

A: More models of collaboration and more attention to ongoing formation in the area of mission.

Another creative idea we could begin to explore is

schools that have a specialization. One model that’s proven to be very successful around the country is elementary schools that have a classical curriculum. (He cited St. Jerome’s Parish in Maryland and Mission Dolores Academy in San Francisco as two examples.)

Q: You attended public schools until your sophomore year in college. Do you feel you missed out?

A: I do feel I missed out, but I also was able to grow up with young people from other faith traditions. I think it helped me develop an ability to relate to people who are different from me.

Q: Was there a reason you went to public school?

A: My mother told me … Catholic school didn’t agree with (his sister, the oldest of four siblings) so she transferred into public school, and we all just followed suit.

Q: How would you ‘sell’ Catholic education to parents uncertain where to send their child?

A: The top reason [cited in surveys on why parents choose Catholic schools] is that the schools are safe. So we can assure the parents their child will be safe, will be welcomed and well taken care of, will receive an excellent education but most importantly will receive an education in the faith and formation of good values.

ICA Cristo Rey gives underserved girls hope for the future LIDIA WASOWICZ CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

Sophomore Angelica Buncio knows her hard luck turned to good fortune when she joined 371 female students at ICA Cristo Rey Academy.

Established in 1883 to carry on the historic mission of Catholic education to enlighten and empower the vulnerable and voiceless, the San Francisco high school fulfills its ministry by joining with 152 corporate partners to integrate professional work experience with a four-year college-prep curriculum and give economically disadvantaged girls a career-enhancing edge.

Girls like Angelica, who chokes up at the memory of the travails she and her family endured after emigrating from the Philippines.

“My parents wanted a better life for me, but they couldn’t always give it to me and that’s why …” she confides, tears interrupting her reminiscence. “It hasn’t always been rainbows and all happy stuff, but it’s a lot better now.”

Her prospects grew more promising with newfound aptitude and attitude.

The former self-described “very shy, anti-social introvert” now exudes confidence, courage and conviction born in part of a well-rounded, in-thefield experience at Mills-Peninsula Health Services in Burlingame where her supervisor staggered her shifts to include seniors, dementia patients, physical therapists, retailers and facility managers.

“ICA has opened up a lot of doors for me and given me a lot of opportunities that people way older than me don’t have,” Angelica said.

“Now, because of my job where I met so many people in so many areas of the hospital when I was just 14, I can talk on the phone with adults without getting scared, I’m not afraid to ask for help, I’ve learned how to branch out and try new things, like new sports and different clubs and getting to know different kinds of people.”

The story repeats with fellow sophomore Micaiah Acosta and juniors Jessica Ferrer and Julienne Cancio, all U.S.-born children of struggling Filipino immigrants whose future outlooks brightened with acceptance at ICA Cristo Rey. “I felt it was a good opportunity for me to have a better life than what my family had to go through,” said Micaiah, who worked at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland.

“ICA gets us a step ahead because you don’t see a lot of teenagers in the workforce, especially at the corporate level, so it looks good on college resumes, and it’s helped me better my people skills.”

As an additional bonus, tension eased between her parents, who had divorced when she was three,

ICA Cristo Rey students Angelica Buncio, Julienne Cancio, Jessica Ferrer and Micaiah Acosta spoke with Catholic San Francisco about the opportunities that have opened to them and to their families through the school’s work-study program. because – with an annual tuition of $2,900 and families paying an average $1,500 – her father could finally afford the kind of education her mother had longed to give her.

Jessica, whose parents worked at McDonald’s to make ends meet upon arriving in America some 20 years ago, felt equal relief for similar reasons.

“My going to ICA to give me opportunities they didn’t have lifted a lot of pressure,” she said.

“The job I’ve had at Jones Day (a prestigious law

firm, the sixth largest in the United States and 13th highest grossing in the world) has definitely taught me so many things you couldn’t learn anywhere else, and the teachers have given me so much because they care and focus on every student.”

Her classmate Julienne’s tale follows a similar script.

School-parish partnerships promote faith, friendship, fun LIDIA WASOWICZ CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

The school and parish that work, play and pray together stay strong, supportive and spiritual together.

In interviews, 24 pupils, parents, principals, pastors and parishioners cited a bevy of benefits from programs that promote a partnership among them.

Collaborative engagements – from pasta dinners and clothing collections to sacramental rites and walks for the poor – empower, enlighten and energize a community united in love of Jesus, they attested.

Religion classes frequented by clergy, choir recitals at Sunday services, morning prayers with teachers and priests, rosary courses taught by a parishioner, liturgies with a younger “buddy” she mentors, pancake breakfasts, Advent wreath-making gettogethers and student presentations at Mass have provided educational and enjoyable experiences for Kirsten Pitcher, a sixth grader at St. Hilary School in Tiburon.

“Any activity to help me learn more about my faith is great and makes me feel included in the church,” she said.

Altar serving, helping out with St. Vincent De Paul food drives, marching for the underprivileged and taking part in outreach projects have enabled eighth grader Nellie Sell to befriend the pastor, sisters, lectors and other members of the St. Raphael Church and Mission community in San Rafael whom she otherwise would not have met.

Getting to know the volunteers who

Taking advantage of crossover

opportunities at St. Brendan School and parish in San Francisco, seventh graders Katie Nelson and Claire Cannon and Bobby Nelson, two years their junior, have reaped social and spiritual rewards.

“Most of my friends also help and

volunteer in the parish,” said Katie, a youth minister, altar server, lector, “peace maker” for younger children, May crowning participant and fundraiser for various church-sponsored charities. “We all like to help others and grow in our faith.”

Making sandwiches for the hungry, serving soup during Lent and taking part in other parish-partnered activities “brought our class closer together (and) taught us how some things we take for granted are important to other people,” Claire said.

For Bobby, 10, an expanded circle of fellowship rounded out the list of benefits.

“I have made new friends and got to know the priests at our school,” the fifth grader said. “I like when the teachers and priests come to my CYO games and when the priests and nuns visit during the school day.”

Encouraged by such feedback, St. Brendan principal Dianne Lakatta and pastor Father Roger Gustafson have increased their inventory of inclusive innovations.

As one example, Lakatta introduced Nun-Talk Tuesdays, featuring pastoral associate Sister Angela Furia, who gets personal on such topics as what she does for fun, why she chose religious life and how she talks to God. “Students are able to ask questions of our nun and see that she is a real person who eats, sleeps, likes to do things and loves God,” the principal said.

minimum-wage job at Subway even though she had earned a dental degree in her homeland.

“Going to ICA definitely helped my family because the tuition here was cheaper than my K-8 school, and it still gave me a really good job, college prep, academics and personal payoff,” said Jessica, who worked for two years at Brown and Toland Physicians.

“If I was going to any school other than ICA, I would probably be a nobody because before I came to ICA, I was really shy and not comfortable talking in public.”

Such transformations add evidence the unique model works in enabling girls to “have experiences they never dreamed possible,” said Dominican Sister Diane Aruda, ICA’s president.

“Parents share how astounded they are at who their daughters have become as mature, young women with goals.”

They have statistical backing: 100% of students matriculate, 82% being the first in their families to do so and 65% graduating within six years while often working part-time; 95% meet or exceed job expectations, and fewer than 10% drop out before getting their diploma.

The impressive numbers may relate to ICA’s unique acceptance criteria that assess the “whole” applicant.

polo shirt, cardigan sweater or vest, khaki or black uniform pants, black shoes – can contribute to high marks, said Bill Olinger, program director.

“We have a 90% sponsor retention rate, indicating they believe in what we are doing,” he said.

Freyer and Laureta is one of those that signed on for another term.

“We were extremely surprised at the level of proficiency that the student possessed,” said Jeff Tarantino, vice president at the award-winning consulting engineering firm. “She was thoughtful and a critical thinker (and) always knew when to ask a question.”

The company was so impressed, it hired an alumna as an entry-level engineer.

“I believe the ICA work-study experience benefited our new hire and gives her an early leg up into helping execute projects,” Tarantino said.

To get a leg up, new students participate in a two-week summer training for clerical jobs they will be performing five days a month to earn nearly half the cost of their schooling.

A sponsoring company pays ICA $34,000 a year for a team of four girls – one from each grade – that rotates work days to comprise one full-time employee.

That amounts to $8,500 per student, 43% of the $20,000 it takes to educate her. Tuition adds another $1,500 to $2,900, with the remainder picked up by donors, foundations and fundraisers.

“We’re trying to figure out ways to make it easier so we don’t have to raise over $3 million a year,” Olinger said.

The 136-year-old institution has

been tweaking the plan since joining the Cristo Rey Network a decade ago as its only all-girl member.

Initiated in 1998 as a collaborative effort between the Christian Brothers and the Jesuits, the network enfolds 37 independently run Catholic schools in 24 states, 3,450 corporate partners, 13,000 students and 18,035 graduates, making it the largest such entity in the country serving exclusively the underserved, said ICA principal George Fornero.

“When it was proposed, they all said, ‘What a stupid idea,’” he said.

“You go to some company, you talk to some CEO, you say, ‘I wonder if I could send some 14-year-old to your office and you’re going to pay this person an entry-level salary,’ and they hire her,” he mused.

“It makes no sense at all, but it works.”

Alums, seven of whom work at ICA, can testify to that.

“We do a very good job at preparing our girls for college” and careers, said alumnae adviser Tina Sprouse, citing the case of a sophomore landing a film-industry internship open to juniors and seniors and, subsequently, a plum job at Pixar Animation Studios.

The ICA experience shifted the focus and future of Felienne Dante, a 2018 graduate attending Menlo College.

After three years of working in the medical field, she recalled, “to my surprise, in my senior year, I got transferred to Makena Capital Management in Menlo Park,” inspiring a switch to finance and accounting.

Catholic schools look ahead with innovative programs steps toward turning their dreams into reality.

Three years in WIPA have cemented Nyla’s lifelong interest in the field.

“I have not only gotten better at performing, but I now have the passion to write and direct plays and musicals,” said the veteran of musical theater since childhood.

“My dream would be to perform for a professional company that does musical theater or to teach musical theater.”

Her WIPA-enriched portfolio provides a promising start.

She has received advice from actors working locally and touring from abroad, scripted plays with internationally known writer Ron Jones, honed voice skills and trained for auditions at the Pacific Singers and Actors Workshop, developed a network of notables and spent summers at the prestigious New York University Tisch School of the Arts and Mountainview Academy of Theatre Arts in London.

Amelie has had an equally excellent experience since entering Mercy and WiTECH in 2017.

“I mainly thought we were going to be doing things like coding and working with the 3D printer, which is also cool, but I really got to explore my interest in photography by learning how to take pictures with professional cameras and how to edit them on software called Lightroom,” she said.

As an added bonus, she discovered the value of the classwork extends to plans close to her heart.

Responding to the needs of the swiftly shifting times, Catholic schools are introducing innovative programs to update and upgrade their trademark of excellence in growing and developing the whole person.

At St. Pius in Redwood City, youngsters are gaining hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math by creating, constructing, controlling, correcting and competing with robots.

In 2016-2017, second graders at All Souls in South San Francisco began incorporating programming language into classroom conversations and collaborations. Their rapid development of fluency in software syntax encouraged expansion to third grade and middle school of age-appropriate exposure to technologies and techniques – from Scratch to Makerspace – considered essential to 21st-century literacy.

Boasting that “in a world of change, Mercy women take the lead,” the all-girl San Francisco high school has carved out four career-cinching curricular tracks catering to students’ personal passions and professional proclivities. Freshmen can select Women in Performing Arts, Women in Technology, Women in the Arts or Women in Science and Healthcare.

“Each ‘women in’ pathway provides a unique, focused curriculum where our students can access guest lectures, internships and one-to-one mentorship programs with Bay Area

“For the Mercy student who chooses a special program, the real world is her classroom where she is able to earn credits to graduate with honors and more importantly gain a fuller

understanding of how to make her dreams a reality.”

ICA CRISTO REY: Giving underserved girls hope for the future FROM PAGE CSW8

Even brief exposure to the program had a lifelong influence on Bianca Guzman and Kristine Casipe, who were seniors when ICA entered the Cristo Rey Network.

“My first choice was to work in a hospital or something medical, but (seeing) the administrative side of things led me in a different direction,” Guzman said.

The business and sports management major

heads ICA’s transportation department, overseeing students’ BART, van and foot routes to work and providing chaperones for safety.

Casipe described her year in the program as “one of the best learning opportunities,” which she might not have fully appreciated as a teenager but does today as ICA’s data and gifts processing manager.

Accumulation of appreciation with age appears universal, said Andrea Manchester, Guzman’s and Casipe’s former teacher and current colleague.

“The first few years students are teenagers and

are less appreciative,” said the director of marketing and communications. “By the time they start applying to colleges, they see the benefits … paying off.”

The payoff is substantial, said Melissa Ruiz, director of guidance.

“At ICA Cristo Rey we often think of Mother Pia Backes, our founder, who was charged with having to build a school to serve the ‘young, poor and vulnerable,’” the ICA alum said. “That school, our ICA, was always living that mission and with Cristo Rey we are able to enhance our resources in that path.”

room to sing with students a custom composition centered on the catchphrase “one body” to signify the desire for school-church unity. At back-toschool night, he had all the parents stand, embrace and belt out this “anthem.”

“One of the things I’m constantly reminding parishioners about is that the church is not a building but a movement of people, all together, toward Christ,” the pastor said. “Therefore to have a close association between church and school within a parish ensures that school families and parishioners are moving in the same direction spiritually.”

Such assurance attracted Colette Cannon, who enrolled her daughter and son, and Jenny Nelson, who signed up her three offspring.

“We chose St. Brendan for our children because we wanted them to live a life of faith and Catholic values,” said Cannon, president of the Mothers’ Club.

“Having strong ties between the parish and the school emphasizes how important those values are to us.”

The ties bind current members and bring in new ones, said Nelson, chair of the School Advisory Board.

“St. Brendan has over 1,200 active parishioners but feels like a small, close-knit family of neighbors and friends,” she said. “We are lucky to have found a community that feels like home.”

Across the bay, families express equal satisfaction with their home turf where school and parish boundaries blend.

For Paula Pitcher, the affiliation offers numerous spiritual, moral, ethical and practical benefits, including synchronicity between classroom lessons and the liturgical year.

“The church and school sit on a pretty hill in Tiburon, overlooking Richardson Bay, with gorgeous views, but in truth the people and their commitment and dedication to each other make the place,” said the 11-year parishioner and mother of two students at St. Hilary.

Principal Marie Bordeleau and Father William

Brown, the pastor, have worked diligently to expand joint activities and communications, including the integration of priests and parishioners into the classroom and extracurricular setting and of school news into church videos, emails, newsletters and bulletins.

“It is important that the children feel rooted in a Catholic community, to have a sense of family and belonging, a sense of tradition, to grow into faithfilled adults,” said Bordeleau, whose son attends

fourth grade at St. Hilary.

“If there were no strong ties, between the school and the rest of the parish, this would be a very sad thing indeed,” Father Brown said, “two separate entities merely coexisting side by side on the same property.”

Subscribing to similar sentiments, St. Raphael principal Lydia Collins and pastor Father Andrew Spyrow have joined hands to link their two entities.

“The benefits of a united parish-school community are building a stronger faith community and ensuring a future for both the parish and school,” Collins said. “It doesn’t make sense to teach about our Catholic faith and not have a place to attend Mass or pray.”

A symbiotic relationship has practical advantages, noted assistant principal Francesca Previtali.

“It helps us to work together to achieve our ultimate shared mission in large ways, such as financial stability, and in the day-to-day menial tasks, such as who gets to use the church and when,” she said.

And it underscores a Catholic school’s position as a primary ministry of its parish and not “just a private school,” said Kathy Murray, first-grade teacher and mother of three St. Raphael alums.

“The children are our future parishioners, and it is very important for them to feel they are … a part of a bigger community who cares for them as they are educated by God-loving staff and teachers,” said Barbara Beaulieu, member of the St. Raphael St. Vincent De Paul Conference.

Wanting to promote that feeling, Megan Dominguez, mother of two St. Raphael students, spearheaded an annual Memorial Day weekend camping trip for school and church families.

“We are socially and spiritually fulfilled when the school and parish form a community,” she said.

For his part, Father Spyrow has made himself so visible – at festivals, auctions, assemblies, morning prayers and other school events – “the students actually know who the pastor is and will call out his name from across the playground,” Collins said.

that help with immigration, domestic violence and troubled youth,” said Amelie, whose WiTECH courses taught her the usefulness of social media in promoting such causes. “You would think that technology doesn’t really associate with what I want to do in the future, but it does!”

Likewise, Tara’s WITA studies will serve her for life.

Boosting her confidence and connections, they prompted the budding photographer to join the San Francisco Women Artists’ Gallery, founded in 1887, and provided a broad platform for exhibiting her art.

“I’m still not entirely set on what I want to do, but I’m playing around with the idea of going into the State Department, photojournalism, museum curations,” the college freshman said.

“No matter where I end up, I’m going to be taking my camera, (and) the values I learned and the people I met will stick with me for a lifetime, regardless of whether or not I go professional.”

The program aims to help determine a student’s fit with her specialized studies and to impart universally applicable wisdom, said WISH director Karina Mathisen.

Even if at the end of four years, a graduate decides against majoring in science and health care in college, “a good science foundation is still critical for any field of study, be it law, politics, journalism,” she said.

Aiming for lasting life lessons, All Souls principal Vincent Riener and his team worked out a progressive plan to prep for the future.

Started as a pilot project in grade two and now incorporated through grade eight, it engages students in increasingly complex tasks that take the mystery out of science, technology, engineering, art and math.

These range from building simple machines to coding in Scratch – a child-centered, block-based programming language used to devise and share online stories, games, music, animation – to developing websites with Java to tinkering in a Makerspace, a spot designated for collaborative creativity.

Sixth graders Akshara Panhcumarthi and Nick Contreras working on their robotics project.

“It has always been part of our school philosophy to educate the whole child, and we recognize that each child is different and will learn in different ways,” Riener said.

“The school maintains important and meaningful traditions while continually updating programs and providing new and exciting technologies.”

Exciting enough for Alyssa Jurado and Emily Cierra to entertain as a career.

Coding, web design and online program development aimed Alyssa in a new direction.

“I have learned how to use my imagination and creativity … to be more independent and (to) troubleshoot my way out of many situations,” said the seventh grader who plans to pursue studies in the sciences.

Her father praised the school for modernizing its curriculum.

“The new programs at All Souls are very important to me as a parent as they help our children gain the skills … I deem necessary to be an interesting person, employee, friend,” he said.

For Emily, in her last year at All Souls, Makerspace made all the difference.

“While participating in this program, I realized that I really enjoyed robotics and (that) I want to eventually become a robotic engineer,” she revealed.

Some of the 16 students on four St. Pius robotics teams, debuted a year ago, came to their own realizations.

For Hudson Taylor, 12, it was “that not everything works in the beginning, that it takes work and that you don’t always have to win – playing is fun too.”

For Rebecca Welte, a sixth grader whose malfunction-prone robot Bessie broke down a nail-biting 30 minutes before the first tournament, it was the importance of teamwork.

“We always had to work together, and if people were having feelings – bad feelings – about someone else, they always worked it out,” she said.

Anticipating such a positive end game, now retired principal Rita Carroll supported the “creative outlet for learning” from the start.

“Students learn to think differently and work collaboratively,” she said.

Favoring such learning for her two sons at St. Pius, Carla Taylor voted for the parent-instigated initiative.

“Robotics and coding programs should be part of their daily routines,” she said. “It is the future.”

Coordinator and coach Amy Welte, who conceived and created the after-school activity, sees another, less visible benefit. “(Nonathletes) may be reluctant to go out for a team sport like volleyball or basketball but enjoy the opportunity to work on a robot,” Welte said.

The work – which breeds familiarity with gears, levers, controllers, mechanical linkages and other engineering fundamentals – revolves around “raising” Lego-based robots with a central processing unit

or “brain” that commands them to proceed, retreat, turn, lift, twist, stack, hang, push or pull to score in a game. Those with the most points advance through local, state, national and world competitions.

“It was fun to see our St. Pius students leverage what they saw from other teams and create their own design and improve their score,” said Welte’s cocoach Robert Decottignies. “This program is important because in a real world corporate-engineering environment, it is very similar.”

The main drawbacks, parents and principals said, include time required of coaches and other volunteers and money needed for covering equipment purchases or rentals and entry fees. In addition, practices and competitions may interfere with sporting events.

Small price to pay for the ultimate payoff, Welte said.

“Catholic schools have long offered a high-quality, faith-centered avenue for schooling our children, but the reality is that parents have many choices when it comes to education,” she noted. “Adding enrichment programs like robotics that enhance the learning experience for children makes Catholic schools an even more compelling choice.”

“It comes down to working together, listening to the concerns of each other … having the families and students know their priest better outside Sunday Mass,” Father Spyrow said.

Parishioners applaud his efforts.

“If the students and school families realize that the priests and nuns are just regular people trying to do a

hard job, they might be more inclined to help out with that job or consider being a priest or a nun themselves,” said Margaret Sell, mother of a third and eighth grader. “I feel very lucky to have Father Andrew at St. Raphael’s because he appears to be making an effort to do this.”

Making an effort to cross the school-parish aisle, St. Hilary revitalized its monthly post-Mass dinners by

St. Raphael School students gathered for a group photo after completing the school’s recent Walk for the Poor. adding a new ingredient: school personnel and students to set up, serve up and clean up.

“Attendance increased as well as the noise level, which is a great thing,” said Father Andrew Ginter, chaplain at Marin Catholic High School, who introduced the pasta nights while serving as parochial vicar at St. Hilary. “It has brought the two different parts of our community together, which sometimes do not cross paths.”

The crossing paths have led to some heavenly destinations.

Jennifer Marples, mom of three students, arrived at “more participa-

tion, more attendance at Mass, more connecting with my Catholic roots.”

Her son Rhys, a St. Hilary eighth grader, came to a “spiritual growth because I am praying more.”

Others have traveled even further.

“Last year, we had 11 RCIA members who became full members of the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil Mass,” Father Brown boasted. “And many of them mentioned one school mom in particular who inspired them.”

Murray concluded: “We strive to help our students be who God meant for them to be and our strong parishschool ties help make that possible.”
