The Ministry Of Catholic Educations

Along with discrimination in the schools, it is unjust that the Ontario Government provides 100% funding for Catholic Schools but not for any other faith. First and Foremost, the funding of Catholic schools infringes on the freedom of religion of all taxpayers who are not Catholic. According to a 2011 census by Statistics Canada, 68.6% of Canadians are not Catholic. With an overwhelming majority of the country not practicing the catholic faith, it does not make sense that the bulk of the population would have to contribute to the cost of education for a religion they do not believe in and cannot even send their own children to. It is damaging that the Province of Ontario is not only giving one religion their own education system, but making

Daniel says that she has seen many who are involved in teaching and providing care through the church go on to be teachers, counselors, and administrators for various youth programs. Mrs. Daniel says, “the church opens doors for people to get involved with kids and shows them the impact that one person can make in a child’s life.” She became interested in working with children in this very way. Mrs. Daniel began to volunteer at her church, which later led to a part-time job. While working part-time, she continued her education and gained more experience that eventually led her to become the Director of Children’s Ministry. In order to prepare for entering this field, Mrs. Daniel suggest that, while it is not required, a person should have a college degree that prepares them for working with families and children and that they stay up to date on trends and issues in the church as well as in the community. She also says that if one plans to work in a church environment, they should have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Mrs. Daniel describes working in this kind of environment as a “calling.” She does not think that this is a field for everyone, “it takes a special kind of person to put the needs of children and the community in front of their own” says Mrs.

One organization that is becoming increasingly popular, is the new youth church. These churches are made up primarily of young adults; those that attend gain a sense of belonging by their family-like structures and “cell groups”. They also dabble with the postmodern and nontraditional ways of worship, to attract outsiders, and they have a strong emphasis on missionary work.

How can we minister more effectively to young Latino Catholics and help them increase their participation in the Church? These are key questions that are frequently raised and that must be acknowledged and studied carefully as we consider the future of the Catholic Church as well as her numerical growth. If we bear in mind that 44% of all Catholics under the age of thirty in the U.S. are Hispanics (according to the 2013 Pew Research Center survey of Hispanic adults) it would certainly seem that increasing Hispanic teenagers ' participation in the Church would be beneficial not just for Hispanic families and communities, but also for the future Church in general. To effectively minister to Hispanic teenagers, an understanding of what is happening in their lives is crucial. Indeed, family plays a big part, but what we often neglect is how significantly culture impacts the life of an adolescent.

3) Scripture Memorization- Have students memorize a specific scripture a week, and have them quote it every time you guys are together throughout the week. 4) Coffee discussions- The student will have the opportunity to grab coffee with a student leader, and discuss anything they would like to discuss. Serve: Serving is important to youth ministry because it teaches the student how to serve the church and their community. It is important, because it helps the student realize that they need to care for the people and things that God has given them leadership and ownership over.

High school plays a pivotal role in a student's life, helping to decide what type of person they want to become. The best high schools go one step further, giving students the skills and tools needed to move on to college and realize their passions and dreams. My personal Skutt Catholic experience fully prepared me for college and beyond with a top-notch education that gives every student the necessary resources to begin a life of empowering others, promoting justice, and initiating change. It has represented the "Legend of the Skyhawk" and formed me into the young man I am today through abundant opportunities in scholarship, friendship, and leadership.

Do you know how many of your County neighbors are barely making ends meet—often not earning enough to cover just one unexpected expense? A recent survey revealed that about 46% of Americans don’t feel they have enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense. Rather than paying it outright, these individuals and families have to put the expense on a credit card or simply cannot cover it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience helping the youth and ministering to them. I have found that it only takes a few minutes to get to know someone. You should never judge a book by its cover is truly an understatement. You never know what a person is going through by looking at them so to assume anything about a person is a terrible mistake. When speaking with a young lady named Dymon, I learned that we all are going through some things. Some more dramatic than others.

In the text, "The Intellectual Appeal of Catholicism and the Idea of Catholic University," the author Mark W. Roche is biased towards public universities versus a catholic university. "A Catholic university is well-positioned to satisfy these expectations," and, "Whereas many contemporary universities now call for interdisciplinary curricula, most Catholic universities have sought both interdisciplinary and integrative knowledge." Roche writes how Catholic universities are better than public universities because they not only have interdisciplinary knowledge but integrative knowledge as well. Roche should not be biased towards public universities because it is not like he has been to every public school. Every school is different and every

Catholic Charities is a family and children’s human service agency under the Archdiocese of Hartford. Catholic Charities Archdiocese of Hartford has over 90 years experience providing a variety of services to children, teens, adults, and families without regard to race, religion, or economic circumstances.

From 2005-2014, the number of Catholics grew from 1.12 billion to 1.27 billion. The greatest increase wan in the African continent at 41 percent even though the population growth was at 23 percent. Asia has a 20 percent with an increase of population of 9 percent and then America which had an 11 percent increase in Catholics compared to a 9 percent of population.

Canada has a long history of reinventing itself. In the modern world, Canada strives to be known as one of the most diverse countries in the world; however, there are barriers deeply embedded into Canada’s system that stops it from achieving that goal. Among these barriers is the issue of Canada’s government publicly funding Catholic schools compared to the non-funding of other religiously-centered schools. This issue also happens to be of heat between the United Nations and the Government of Canada. Even though the Catholic schools go back into the early 17th century, the modern Catholic system did not originate until the early 19th century (History of Catholic Schools, OAPCE).

Every year, my church puts on a Vacation Bible School program to reach out to children in our community and to help them learn more about God. I attended this program as a child and grew to look up to my leaders. Once I entered high school, I began helping to lead the Vacation Bible Schooler’s, teaching them songs, helping them make arts and crafts, and most importantly teaching them about the love

In Pazmino’s text, he expresses the idea of the preacher playing many different roles, and as the youth minister at my church, I play many different roles in order to enhance the educational experience. It is my job to plan the lessons, and teach the teachers how to best teach their students. Pazmino states education as, “ a process of sharing content with people in the context of their community and society.” All of the teachers are equipped with the knowledge that is on the appropriate level of the congregants they are teaching. For example, I would not put someone who is good at talking with adults about topics such as interreligious dialogue, and put them with three year olds that are learning about the infamous Bible stories. Making people

My Catholic School leadership experience stems from years of being involved in my diocese, first as a student, then as an employee and then as a mother who raised and educated three children in that diocese. I am a firm supporter of Catholic education as I have experienced the benefits that only a Christ centered learning environment can provide as a student, parent and educator.
