Catholic education is essential
“G
o, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20a). With these words, Our Lord Jesus Christ, about to ascend into Heaven, established His Church as an essentially teaching organization, giving her the mission to teach the whole world the truth that He came to reveal. The Church exists to teach, to spread the truth of the Gospel to the whole world, so that all might find the path back to God through Jesus Christ unto ARCHBISHOP eternal life. And so it is that the Church SALVATORE J. has committed herself to the CORDILEONE enterprise of teaching from day one down to the present time. Catholic schools are a natural extension of this teaching mission. From earliest times schools grew up as a part of the Church’s life, even in times of persecution. At first, catechetical schools sprang up in major dioceses in order to teach adults the truths of the faith. Christians were living in a culture dominated by anti-Christian philosophies, so they needed support in the understanding of the faith. After the legalization of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the development of monasteries greatly enhanced the quality of Catholic education. St. John Chrysostom, writing in the fourth century, lamented that the quality of children’s education in the faith had diminished in his time due to the complacency of Catholics no longer chastened by persecution. The monasteries stepped in to fill this void, providing intense experiences of Christian formation for boys and girls from the youngest ages. After the fall of Rome, the monasteries became even more impor-
It is the responsibility of the entire Catholic community — bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and laity — to continue to strive towards the goal of making our Catholic elementary and secondary schools available, accessible, and affordable to all Catholic parents and their children, including those who are poor and middle class. tant as centers of learning and culture, and they continued their work, free of charge, for hundreds of years. Later in the Middle Ages, alongside monasteries, cathedrals and parishes also started schools. Everyone in the Catholic community supported the work of education in accordance with what they were in a position to give. Thanks to the generous sharing of time, talent and treasure, no one was turned away and Catholic education was able to operate according to a simple maxim: “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8). The crowning achievement of Catholic education was the invention of universities – Bologna, Oxford, Salamanca, and Paris in the twelfth century, Cambridge and Padua in the thirteenth. By the middle of the 13th century, every resident of Catholic Europe, rich or poor, had access to a superb tuition-free education centered on the truth revealed by Jesus Christ. Wherever there was a Catholic monastery or church, there was a Catholic school. More recently, the legacy of Catholic education here in the United States is one we can be rightly proud of, thanks to countless unsung heroic nuns,
brothers and priests, along with their benefactors who built it up. With the new challenges our Catholic schools now face, the U.S. bishops are calling upon the entire Catholic community to continue what we have inherited: everyone in the Church rallying together in support of the mission of education. This call is all the more urgent in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Our schools have done an admirable job pivoting to accommodate education in this new reality, but as always, the poor are more adversely affected, and to them we must give the preferential option. We do this from a firm conviction that Catholic education is essential to the life of the Church, now as always. Like the first centuries of the Church, we live in a culture dominated by anti-Christian philosophies. Every Catholic must understand that the quality of our Catholic schools is of utmost importance for the whole Church and society. Every member of the Church has a role in this endeavor, whether to teach, donate, or contribute in other ways. This, in fact, is how the U.S. bishops open their 2005 pastoral letter, Renewing Our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Third Millennium: “Young people are a valued treasure and the future leaders of our Church. It is the responsibility of the entire Catholic community—bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and laity—to continue to strive towards the goal of making our Catholic elementary and secondary schools available, accessible, and affordable to all Catholic parents and their children, including those who are poor and middle class.” As the monks knew so well, even the humblest mathematics or grammar lesson can be integrated into the broader purpose of teaching the truth about Jesus Christ. And this is the renewed vision and objective of our own schools in the Archdiocese: integration of the Catholic intellectual and faith tradition all throughout the life of the school. This is the genius of Catholic education, aimed at the flourishing of the whole person.

St. James School moves forward during pandemic LORENA ROJAS SAN FRANCISCO CATÓLICO
Marco Romero and Marlene Cruz have their 6-year-old son Ethan Romero at St. James School in San Francisco in the first grade. They decided to enroll him in a Catholic school because they found in it, in addition to academic excellence, a comprehensive education that reinforces the values that they teach him at home. The day they went to the open house, in 2019 when Ethan was of age to enter kindergarten, the Romero-Cruz parents said, “This is going to be our son’s school.” For these parents, dad being from Mexico and mom from El Salvador, it is very important that their son be educated in an environment where he is also taught to say hello, say goodbye, treat fellow students and other people with respect and receive religious education. “The first day we went to school, we saw how the students in the upper grades relate to the little ones and saw the respect with which they approached visitors,” Romero said. He added that “before the pandemic the school took the students to Mass once a week. Now that they are learning from home. One of the first things they do every morning is pray. At home we also pray as a family every night. “The educational level is also very important to us,” he added. “We liked the teaching plan that the school offered us. We made the best decision enrolling our child at St. James.” Romero describes the blended learning method of teach-learn that St. James uses as a model that helps students to reinforce

Marco Romero and his wife Marlene Cruz enrolled their son Ethan in San Francisco’s St. James School, impressed with the school’s approach to academics and the values the family shares at home. the areas they need most, but at the same time teaches them to work in groups. “They bring the students together in small groups, each group studies a different subject, and they rotate in other groups,” he said. Ethan started kindergarten before the pandemic and continued the first grade
with changes that the school has made due to COVID-19, so the spouses RomeroCruz value the teaching at St. James for both the classroom and distance classes. “When the pandemic arrived and the order of shelter-in-place was implemented, the school quickly adapted to give to the students distance classes, they
deliver packages of printed material and supply tablets to students who did not have one,” Romero said. “Children haven’t stopped learning (during the pandemic), the school offers extra programs for students to go as far as they want, and teachers are available to help after school,” he said. Romero lost his job before the pandemic. His business in the Oakland Flea Market was not good, so he decided to leave it and spend more time with his son while his wife works. Now, with the distance learning program, Ethan takes classes by watching a tablet screen at home. Meanwhile, his dad listens to the teachers teaching the classes and that makes it easier for him to help his son with homework. “In our case, he and I do extra work every day, sometimes math, other days reading or other subjects,” he said. “He has a daily routine that includes class time, breaks, mealtimes, homework, and extra courses. As a father, what counts is being with the son and helping him and that makes a difference.” Due to Romero not having a job, paying the tuition has been a challenge for the family, so they applied for financial aid at school. The Romero-Cruz family receives a scholarship to pay a portion of their son’s tuition. His son is also one of the two students who won a second scholarship offered by the school. “We have to find a way to educate our children because they are the future of this country,” Romero said.

Salute to schools’ ‘superheroes’
I
n 1850, California became a state, and the first Catholic school was opened in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Catholic schools have been part of the fabric of the Archdiocese since before such landmarks as Golden Gate Park, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Levi Strauss and Co. and Wells Fargo Bank. Catholic schools served the children and families of San Mateo, San Francisco and Marin counties during the 1906 earthquake and fire, the Spanish Flu epidemic and both World Wars. When COVID-19 hit our archdiocese, our school system was more than ready PAMELA LYONS to take on the challenge of following the Catholic educators’ footsteps who went before us in serving our families and educating our students through this pandemic. Beginning on the first day of the COVID-19 shelter in place order in March, the archdiocese schools of San Francisco provided a robust and rigorous Catholic distance learning program to the over 23,000 students in our archdiocesan schools. Over the summer, our schools worked tirelessly on their plans for reopening school in the fall so that as soon as the opportunity to apply for a waiver to reopen to in-person learning became available, we were ready. In mid-September, elementary schools began to offer in-person and hybrid models to our students, while most schools in the Bay Area were still only offering Distance Learning. Two months later, the vast majority of our Catholic elementary and high schools were back in their school buildings offering in-person instruction.

I truly believe that the best place for our students’ emotional, social, educational and spiritual health is in their school buildings, and that would not have been possible without the courageous work of school administrators, teachers and staff. They are on the front lines of this pandemic, and I could not be prouder of the faith, dedication, professionalism and love that they bring to their vital roles every day. They are real superheroes! Never have our schools been clearer in their purpose of serving the students and families of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, by ensuring that our schools are truly grounded in the Catholic faith, and committed to academic excellence, cultivating the virtuous life, nurturing a Christian community and nourishing a Catholic
worldview. As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, I am grateful for the effort, patience, and grace that has been shown by our students and families during the past 10 months. School, as we once knew it, has undergone many changes, and you continue to adapt as needed. We welcome those members of our community who are not currently attending a school in the Archdiocese to visit a Catholic school and experience for yourself all they have to offer. I also invite you to visit our website at schools. sfarch.org. For the past 150 years we have been here to educate and support you and your children, and we are dedicated to continue this mission for years to come. PAMELA LYONS is superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Mission Dolores Academy celebrates family cultures with Heritage Week CHRISTINA GRAY CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO
With a student body that is 48% Latino/Hispanic, 22% African-American, 18% Filipino-American, 16% Multiethnic and 2% other ethnicities, Mission Dolores Academy’s Heritage Day has been a longstanding, schoolwide celebration. Timed in November just ahead of the Thanksgiving holidays, the much anticipated tradition has always included a multicultural luncheon featuring homemade cuisine from different continents and study about other cultures. With COVID-19 restrictions and ongoing distance learning still in place this year, Heritage Day might have been cancelled entirely. Instead, school leaders and teachers at the K-8 school leaned in to the current reality and turned Heritage Day into a full week of online, intercultural learning opportunities. From Nov. 16-20, students were invited, day-by-day, to share their family’s cultural dress, traditions, languages, foods, song and dance with others each day over Zoom. On Monday, students wore culturally-significant dress to their online lessons. Traditional family recipes and cooking videos were shared on Tuesday. Wednesday, classrooms researched and reported on a different continent, and on Thursday students shared video clips of their family’s musical and dance traditions.
(COURTESY PHOTOS)
Left, a student modeled native African-American dress and shared it with his class in his Heritage Week journal. Right, a third-grade student at Mission Dolores Academy as seen in a photo shared with other students for Heritage Week in November. The week invites students to share the dress, food, music and other traditions from their family’s ethnic heritage in the intercultural learning experience. Third-grade teacher Maureen McConnell said the owner of Buko Bakes, a Filipino-inspired bakery in San Francisco, talked to her class about starting a business as a Filipino-American woman. “She showed the class how to make “Magical Ube Rice Krispie Treats,” said McConnell. Ube is a purple yam found in the Philippines.
Catholic San Francisco was invited to join her third-grade Zoom class Nov. 20 when each student shared one page from their Heritage Week journals which presented their heritage and showcased a family tradition. We are using only their first names in this story. Max talked about his Filipino family’s tradition of putting up a ‘parol’ at
Christmas time. His slide showed an array of the brightly colored, star-shaped lanterns he said represented the stars the three Wise Men followed to the Christ Child. Parols are hung throughout the Philippines during Christmas. “You see them all over the streets or in people’s windows,” he said. They are sold in markets or you can make them yourself. “Our parol at home is white and is made of seashells.” Chase showed a photo of his 90-yearold great grandmother in sharing a weekly tradition of his African American family. “My whole family goes to great grandmother’s house every Sunday to eat dinner,” he said. “The grownups tell stories and jokes and the children play outdoors. We have so much fun.” Daniel, whose family is Nicaraguan and Salvadoran shared a recipe for chicken tamales cooked per their tradition, in a banana leaf. “When you eat it, it tastes super good,” he said. Elsabet, Yeab and Mary said their families came from Ethiopia and said they spoke a combination of different languages at home: Ethiopian, Eritrean, Amharic and English. Tyler showed an example of the colorful dashiki, a native tunic worn by West African ancestors and today for special occasions. She explained the significance of the colors worn.

Vocation at the heart of Marin Catholic’s new ‘principled entrepreneurship’ program CHRISTINA GRAY CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO
This fall, 23 Marin Catholic juniors entered a pioneering business program the Kentfield high school has launched to shape a new generation of entrepreneurs guided by Catholic values. Marin Catholic president Tim Navone told Catholic San Francisco Nov. 17 that the Principled Entrepreneurship Institute is a unique, two-year certificate program that asks these prospective business leaders to approach entrepreneurship from a “sense of vocation.” “We do not start with how to make money,” said Navone, of the program, which he said was many years and people in the making. “We start by asking ourselves, ’who do I want to serve?’ Then, do I have gifts to serve that community? If I do, am I passionate about it? If I’m passionate, then, can I make money?” PEI is a partnership between Marin Catholic, a 16-member board of nationally-recognized business leaders, and eight colleges and universities with values-based entrepreneurship programs including six Catholic schools – Catholic University of America, Notre Dame University, the University of San Francisco, Seton Hall, Loyola Marymount University and Santa Clara University. Navone said current culture is enamored of entrepreneurial thinkers. The reality series “Shark Tank” reflects that fascination, he said.

Firehouse Subs is a national franchise founded by two former firefighters whose financial profits also support the needs of first responders in local communities. Greed, self-seeking and excess are sometimes associated with entrepreneurs. “How can we make that Catholic?,” he said. He and other school leaders didn’t want to put a “Catholic varnish” on a typical entrepreneurship program. “We wanted to design a principled entrepreneurship program that was Catholic in every way and could change the way people think,” he said. Principled entrepreneurship doesn’t just mean starting a nonprofit, said Navone. “Absolutely not,” he said. “Principled entrepreneurs can and do make money, sometimes lots of it, but

the difference is that money isn’t the driving force.” Students accepted to the program will have the opportunity to participate in weekly workshops facilitated by local business leaders and university professors. In their senior year after a full year of discernment, students are matched to a mentor as they “ideate,” eventually creating what they hope is a solid business plan that will be pitched to the entire PEI board. Scholarships to college entrepreneurship programs are at stake, said Navone. Students must be prepared to have their business plans “chewed up” by board members. “It’s real life, there will be winners and there will be losers,” he said.
Navone said he is unaware of any other high school in the nation, Catholic or otherwise, with a business program based on ‘entrepreneurial virtue.’ PEI director David Friend, a retired AT&T executive and former MC parent, said the discernment year is a defining aspect of the program. In the first semester, students took what’s called MCORE, a self-discovery test used by Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Center for Leadership to unearth one’s unique motivations. “You have a fingerprint that is unique,” said Friend. “You also have a soul code that is the same thing. If you don’t figure that out, what God intends for you, that will be lost to the world forever.”
CLASSICAL ACADEMY TO OPEN AT STAR OF THE SEA
rissf.org describes its mission as one of “cultivating wonder and wisdom in pursuit of excellence” through an integrated classical curriculum. Stella Maris (“Star of the Sea” in Latin) Academy is a revival of the Richmond District parish’s ambition to open a classical K-8 academy in 2019. In a parish blog post in April of that year, pastor Father Joseph Illo announced that the school would close at the end of the 2018/2019 school year to refine and “reboot” the concept for a relaunch at a future date. Colvert said the curriculum will include languages, science and music as well as an integration with theology at the center of them all. “We believe that a Catholic school where our faith is an organizing principle at the center of curriculum will help serve their development as young people.”
Star of the Sea Parish has announced the reopening of the parish elementary school as Stella Maris Academy in fall 2021. “We are currently in the process of marketing the school and recruiting prospective families,” the academy’s head of school, San Francisco native Gavin Colvert, told Catholic San Francisco. The academy will start with early childhood education and the primary grades, Colvert said. It will be a parochial school of the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s school system in partnership with the Catholic Institute for Liberal Education. Almost 100 people registered to learn more about the new school and the classical education movement during a Zoom information night in December 2020, he said. The school’s new website at stellama-

Distance learning success at Mercy High School Burlingame CAROLINE OCAMPO
It goes without saying that this year is one unlike any other in education, and Mercy High School’s students and teachers have risen to the occasion in so many ways. While there is no underestimating the challenges in education during a pandemic, the Mercy community has shown itself to be resilient, creative, and compassionate since that week in March when our world changed. The Mercy High School community transitioned from traditional school to distance learning in what seemed like only one day. When they decided to move to what they thought would be a two-week distance learning experience in March, they took off that Friday for professional development, and returned on the following Monday to continue their rigorous and engaging curriculum in all classes. It truly was an amazing turnaround from the traditional classroom to Zoom classrooms. In November, all of Mercy’s freshman biology students, who are taught by science teacher Lindsay Stewart, created video presentations that demonstrated their understanding of biodiversity, after researching and interviewing professionals in the field. In their newly rebooted Paschal Ministry class, Angie Simonetti’s students took what they learned from reading “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End� by Atul Gawande. They then created proposals
Joanne Bland has been active in the civil rights movement for more than 50 years including taking part in the historic March 21, 1965 Alabama march from Selma to Montgomery. Mercy students had the opportunity to hear about her experiences via a Zoom presentation from Selma on Oct. 6, 2020. for assisted living facilities. Students created their own proposals, pulling on their skills in research, writing, critical thinking, design, and communication.
Robotics, Engineering, and Design Thinking, a new class, has been building a robot for the FIRST Tech Challenge. Students work in teams with their coaches and teachers Dr. Pat Bradley and Jen Lambdin. Math teacher Yu-Loung Chang, library coordinator Sarah Murphy, and parent Stephanie Menner assist. Students in Visual and Performing Arts classes haven’t missed a beat! Teachers have reinvented the VPA classroom in incredible ways. Chorale teacher Victor Cervantes now edits together the voices of all of our chorale students into acapella versions of their performances of songs like “The Rose� and “Carol of the Bells.� Visual Arts teachers Shardie Ezell and Nadine Baroudi have put new skills to work creating video demonstrations and engaging students with drawing, photography, and ceramics projects that are easily adapted to the home. This is in addition to Mercy’s 39 clubs, including their newest, Mercy Media, where students produce announcements and videos to connect their community. Each day provides more evidence of the flexibility and innovation of Mercy High School’s learning community. Mercy is thriving and will continue to thrive as they navigate these difficult times together. CAROLINE OCAMPO is Mercy’s director of strategic communications.

‘New protocols’ but same ‘energy’ at Archbishop Riordan VICTORIA TERHEYDEN
The more things change, the more they stay the same. When Riordan welcomed students back to campus on Nov. 9, 2020, for in-person learning (the first high school in San Francisco to be approved for reopening by the San Francisco Department of Public Health), it felt wonderfully the same and yet very different. Students and their teachers brought their typical energy and enthusiasm to previously quiet hallways, while health and safety signage covered almost every surface. There are new protocols for just about every-

thing from morning check-in to desk cleaning. But especially noteworthy this year was the start of coeducation at Riordan after 70 years as an all-boys institution. The school welcomed 196 young women across all grade levels with a current student body of 860 students, making it the second largest high school in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. This spring and summer the school also renovated the locker rooms, weight room and athletic training facilities in preparation for this new school model. Like any resilient institution, we are making the best of the circumstances of our world. This fall, key programs moved to virtual offerings, including student retreats, rallies, and the fall play and spring musical (which still delighted audiences via Zoom). The Admissions Team quickly launched a virtual campus tour to bring the Riordan experience home to future Crusaders and recruited a great crew of student ambassadors to engage prospective students.
Co-student body presidents, seniors GiGi DiGiulio and J.T. Torrea, continue to do a great job of bringing creativity and inclusion to their leadership roles. Some things remained unchanged, including robust athletic workouts (meeting all safety requirements) on Mayer Family Field at the Carl Gellert and Celia Berta Gellert Athletic Complex, and the awardwinning newspaper team producing two solid print issues. The Athletics Department also relaunched their stellar sports podcast on Instagram (Thursdays at 6 p.m. @riordan_sports). We are proud of our students, families, and faculty and staff for their perseverance and flexibility. Our alumni and Crusader fans keep cheering us on from afar, too, and we appreciate their support. We don’t know what will come next, but the Crusader community is ready for anything! VICTORIA TERHEYDEN is Riordan’s director of communications.

ST. JAMES SCHOOL: Moving forward during pandemic FROM PAGE CSW4
Sisters of Mission San Jose. Although the nuns are no longer directly running the school, they continue supporting it with programs such as Vision of Hope, a foundation that provides financial aid to families who want to educate their children in this Catholic school but do not have enough financial resources, as is the case of the Romero-Cruz family. With the resources of Vision of Hope, the school helps many families to pay the tuition, but they need more donors to be able to offer scholarships to other families and enroll more students, said the current and first lay director of St. James, Alex Endo. Endo added that the school has passed this time of the pandemic with great fortitude, without leaving the students even a day of school time without classes. He highlights the extra work that teachers have done preparing a distance program. They did not imagine they would have to do something like that. The principal at St. James recognizes the extraordinary work of the teachers with the families. “They contact parents to help them with the remote program when they have questions,” he said, adding that once a month parents collect a packet of materials for science, math or other subjects. St. James is working hard during the pandemic to accommodate payments to those families struggling financially due to the loss of their jobs. “Our goal is the education of our children,” the principal said. Even the cooking class has begun again since September. All families received a bag with cantaloupes, granola and other ingredients to prepare a healthy fruit salad at home. The chef gave them a video he recorded with the preparation of the recipe step by step. This and other co-curriculum courses like art,

Ethan Romero, 6, is seen working on a Thanksgiving project in his remote class. His parents enrolled him in St. James School in San Francisco in 2019. They were impressed with the school’s academic excellence and comprehensive education that reinforces the values that they teach Ethan at home.
Spanish and technology help the families add more happiness to their lives in difficult times. “The pandemic has been a challenge, but I am very proud of the teachers who have worked so hard and helped each other adapt to teach in this new reality, so the education of the 145 students at St. James is not affected by this situation,” Endo said. He announced the possibility of returning to the classroom soon with new guidance and in accordance with San Francisco Department of Public Health recommendations.
HERITAGE: Mission school celebrates cultures FROM PAGE CSW6
“Purple is the color of royalty and blue is the color of love, peace and harmony.” Catholic San Francisco asked the students at the end of their presentations what they might have learned about their classmates that they did not know before. Nicole said she learned that Leah, Elsabet and Yeab “don’t just speak Ethiopian, they speak other languages too.” “I didn’t know that where you come from they wear dashiki too,” said Tyler. Sofia was surprised to hear that Maylanie’s mother sometimes listened to Mexican banda music, too.

Freshmen Riley Raff and Ashley Turner take part in their new school’s Becoming Notre Dame rite “intended to ground the freshmen in the NDB experience,” the school said.
Notre Dame Belmont moves to hybrid model Freshmen from Notre Dame Belmont were on campus recently for an outdoor event in which they glazed the ceramic bowls made while distance learning in their Becoming Notre Dame class. Becoming Notre Dame is a new class for all first semester freshman students, intended to ground the freshmen in the NDB experience. Topics such as leadership, health and wellness practices,
brain science and mind/body/soul connection are explored. Students created a bowl as a symbol of their Notre Dame journey. NDB students have been on campus for social emotional learning activities since November, while distance learning for academic instruction. “We are excited to welcome our students to campus in a hybrid model in January 2021,” the school said.

There are so many opportunities for everyone to succeed, ranging from academics, athletics, cocurricular activities, and more. The unique sense of community and acceptance at SHC is something that I could not find anywhere else.” — Eva Salgado ’24
