Our children’s future success and relationship with our Church rests on the involvement and engagement of priests woven throughout the fabric of their daily lives in our schools. Since priests serve as the embodiment of a Gospel life, they are the concrete example and witness to a life of fidelity to Jesus and His Gospel. Priestly presence in our schools in inextricably linked to the culture and ethos of the Catholic identity of the Catholic school and its ultimate success.” Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York “This is a most needed initiative, and I hope you obtain a healthy response from the dioceses.” Most Rev.
