I want to mention an excellent organization: the Catholic Education Foundation. Its purpose is to support Catholic education on the high school level, providing student scholarships and programs assisting with the formation of teachers. Many of our finest educators are associated with the Foundation, and it includes several bishops on its advisory board.This past Friday evening I was honored by being inducted into the Foundation's "Hall of Fame," which recognizes those who are considered to be outstanding individuals in the field of Catholic education. Don't ask me how I ended up in the company of such luminaries as Fr. Joseph Fessio, Mother Assumpta Long, Dr. Ralph McInerny, Fr. James V. Schall S.J., and others of that same stature.
I'll take this opportunity to commend the Catholic Education Foundation as an organization worthy of financial support. If God so moves you, click here to make a donation, and tell 'em I urged you to do it.

My sincere congratulations, Father, on the honor you received! We all know that you deserve any honors that you get from time to time and many more. I'm very happy that you put it on your Blogspot since I was unable to hear all you said at church tonight. I heard bits and pieces - been away, high school and good organization - but hard to put them together. Where did you go for this honor??

Betty, we gathered at the Bishop Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale, Long Island, N.Y.
Congratulations Father! You certainly deserve this honor and more. I think that no honor on earth would be sufficient for all you do and have done. Your reward will be great in Heaven.
May God continue to bless you and us that have you as our pastor.
