"What My Catholic Education Means to Me"
My Catholic education means I get to study the most important things in my life at school where I spend a lot of my time.  My religion is the center of my life and I believe I am so lucky to be able to live my life that way at school.  What even makes it better is that everyone around me lives the same way I do.  It is very comforting to know I have people around me who I can pray and share God with.  It also means I don't have to be shy or embarrassed about my faith.


"What My Catholic Education Means to Me"
My Catholic education means a lot to me.  Ever since I was in Kindergarten, I have been taught that God gave us all special gifts and we have to share them.  We share with friends and classmates who are going through difficult times like parent divorce, health problems, or family deaths.  My Catholic education has shown me that with prayer and community support even the worst situations can be okay.  When my Grandma died, I received love and support.  I have also had the chance to give it, and I'm thankful.


"What My Catholic Education Means to Me"
My Catholic education means to love and respect God and others.  I've learned a lot from school.  I've learned about Baptism, Reconciliation and First Eucharist.  I like to bring my saint books and religious movies to school because it helps us to understand God better.  Religion helps me get closer to God.  I go to Mass every day except Saturdays.  It's worth getting up early.  Even though I am tired, I'm still happy I went to Mass.  I love my school.  It's fun.  I love it and never want to leave it.  S.S.J. you rule!
