Yet another homeschooling mom who saw this linked on the blog of a homeschooling mom and linked to it herself.<BR/><BR/>And then I read some of your other homilies. And then I added your blog to my bookmarks folder.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Father, you do good work!

But having been asked point-blank by a CATHOLIC neighbor, "Why do you send them to Catholic school? Isn't CCD enough?" In my neighborhood, kids who go to parochial schools are just as rare as homeschooled ones!<BR/>I linked to your homily because you clearly explained why children DO belong IN church WITH their families. The need is so great to get that word out.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1146755655197916322006-05-04T11:14:00.000-04:002006-05-04T11:14:00.000-04:00Thank God for good priests!

Back when I homeschooled my own, we were looked upon as oddities, but now it's become very common.<BR/><BR/>Homeschooling is the reason that my two youngest sons, now adults, said the Rosary with me every night for years, did a Cenacle with me once a week, and are now both 4th Degree Knights of Columbus.<BR/><BR/>Thank God for homeschooling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
