Moreau on Catholic schools' mission

Here in South Bend, we've been celebrating the beatification of Basil Moreau, C.S.C. (the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross).  Here is a quote that reminded me how central the distinctive mission of Catholic schools is, and should be, to Holy Cross, to Notre Dame, and to the Church:

"We shall always place education side-by-side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart.  While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise to our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven."
