Our Shining Moment

This blog post with a video was submitted by Frank Donaldson, author of 25 Lessons Learned in 25+ Years in Catholic School Development and the 25 Lessons Learned in 25+ Years in Catholic School Development WORKBOOK and his recent new publication, 15 More Lessons Learned in 30+ Years in Catholic School Development, available in the NCEA bookstore. Frank is the founder and president of the Institute for School and Parish Development (ISPD).

As a tribute to Catholic schools, the Institute for School and Parish Development (ISPD) has released a seven plus-minute video titled, “Our Shining Moment: Catholic Schools, March 2020 – June 2020.” From the time many Catholic schools switched from on-site to online education was like the blink of an eye – we never missed a beat. The mission of bringing Christ to people and people to Christ never faltered.

Our schools connected, taught and built stronger relationships. We educated our students and their families. Catholic school teachers and administrators – although challenging – stood up to the task and took on the mantle of true leaders. March 2020 – June 2020: this has been and will continue to be OUR SHINING MOMENT!
