Notre Dame Task Force on Latinos and Catholic Schools: "To Nurture the Soul of a Nation"

MOJ readers might remember that, a few years ago, Notre Dame's President, Fr. John Jenkins, commissioned a Task Force to study and respond to some of the challenges facing Catholic schools.  That group produced a report called “Making God Known, Loved, and Served”, http://ace.nd.edu/assets/2296/tf_cover.pdf, and a number of interesting, concrete developments have come out of that Task Force’s work.

More recently, Fr. Jenkins asked the Notre Dame Task Force on the Participation of Latino Children and Families in Catholic Schools to study, in a particular way, the participation of Latinos in America’s Catholic schools.  In conjunction with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, that Task Force has released a report called “To Nurture the Soul of a Nation:  Latino Families, Catholic Schools, and Educational Opportunity.”  More information is available here:  http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/14167

This latter report should be available on Notre Dame’s website very soon.  I’ve read the hard-copy, though, and I think you’ll find that it’s very exciting and inspiring for all of us who care about Catholic education.
