Collaborating for Catholic Formation

Every parent wants one thing for their children, happiness. It is the most sought after and illusive thing on the face of the earth. As the Chaplain of the school, I see my job as collaborating with parents in the education and formation of their children so that they might have the best chance at attaining a happy life. As the poet Leon Bloy remarked, "there is only one misery... not to be saints." Everything about this school agrees with Bloy. At Bishop Ryan we recognize that happiness and holiness are ultimately inseparable realities, and the job of education is to place our students firmly on the path to both.
