DO YOU WANT THE BEST FOR YOUR CHILD?
In some Latin
American countries a Catholic school education is only for the rich but
the Bishops
of the United States have launched a campaign to get 1 million Latino children
in Catholic Schools
so they can get the best in reading, writing, arithmetic and science but also
the
best discipline, values, sacraments, religion and a good relationship with
Christ.
Nativity members
who come to Mass, use envelopes and help in the parish can give a
child the best education, worth $5,000.00, for just $15.00 per week, $780.00 per
year.
There is even a family rate. Each parish really wants to get Latino students so
your child will be
welcomed with open arms and hearts. Each school has high quality teachers who
can work with any child,
even those that might need a little extra help at first.
Holy
Spirit – 1800 S. Lodge Ave. 477-9082
A small school with 168 students on the southeast side with Marian Educational
Outreach special education
classes and a priest, Fr. Burns, who speaks fluent Spanish. They already have
several Latino children
attending and doing well.
St. Theresa
– 600 Herndon Dr. 423-1763
A small school with 107 students on the north side with a brand new program that
offers year round
school with more days for your child to learn. They have already had several
Latino families.
Christ the
King – 3010 E. Chandler, 476-1792
A school with 207 students on the east side, about 15 blocks from Nativity, with
quality teachers.
They have several Latino children doing well there. Pilar’s grandchildren go
there.
Holy Rosary
- 1301 S. Green River, 477-2271
A large school with 431 students on the south east side, about 20 blocks from
Nativity.
They have had many Latino children attending and offer a high quality education,
sports and religion.
If you want the
best for your child next fall see Abraham or Pilar after Mass or
call the Latino office at 476-7704 to register or get more information. You can
also call the principal for a visit.
