À propos de cet audio

It's never been more difficult to raise young people of faith, reason, and virtue than it is today. We're on a mission to support parents as the primary educators of their children through high-quality, Catholic education in the liberal arts/classical tradition.

  • Episode 20: Divine Mercy Passion Play 2021

    Episode 20: Divine Mercy Passion Play 2021
    Mar 31 2021
    Saint Agnes School is proud to share with everyone the 2021 Divine Mercy Passion Play performed by our 6th grade students. The narration and character voices were recorded on site under the direction of Mrs. Claire Bona over the past several weeks. Our students worked very hard and are proud to present to the Saint Agnes community the final production, assembled by Mrs. Bona, author of the original script. Normally, this annual event would have been performed during Holy Week for parents, teachers, and fellow students in the beautiful Helene Houle Auditorium. While it is not, sadly, the live performance with all our 6th graders, we hope that this recording inspires everyone to contemplate God's unfathomable Divine Mercy during the Triduum and Easter season! "Jesus, I trust in you!"

  • Cultural Literacy - Reason #7 Pt. I (Why the Liberal Arts?)

    Cultural Literacy - Reason #7 Pt. I (Why the Liberal Arts?)
    Oct 9 2020
    Part I of our investigation of Cultural Literacy features Dr. Anika Prather, professor of Classics at Howard University and founder of Living Water School, who will help us explore the importance of cultural literacy as Americans, as Christians, and as people of goodwill from various diverse backgrounds. In addition, Dr. Prather, a proud African American educator, wife, and mother of three, will evaluate current trends that threaten to "cancel" the Western Canon of the Great Books, and she will underscore the importance of a traditional Liberal Arts education. Part II will feature Dr. Dave Deavel from the University of St. Thomas.

    Read Dr. Prather's beautiful 3-part reflection entitled "Classic Learning in Black History" at the Classic Learning Test (CLT) Blog: https://blog.cltexam.com/classic-learning-in-black-history-part-i/
