On this year 2009, year of our Lord, we gather, remember, reflect, and celebrate as CBCP and CEAP, guided by the theme: Hold it in Trust – Leadership as Stewardship. We firmly believe in the outpouring of God’s abundant grace. May the Spirit of Discernment come upon us and stir our hearts and lead us to communal acts of stewardship for the transformation of our beloved country, and for the world.

    It often has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If someone were to look up beauty in the dictionary, they would read this: beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. In other words, beauty is anything that is pleasing to the eye. Today’s society teaches that the way to beauty is to become rich and successful, only worrying about oneself, but is that true beauty? Is true beauty not giving oneself up for another? True beauty comes when someone cares about others that cannot return that care. Jean Vanier embodies true beauty because he gave up a rich, easy lifestyle to invest himself into and live with people who could not offer him anything in return.…

    There is no way to prove that Catholic Education is better than any other form of schooling, because everything is truly opinion based, but there are many facts against public and other private schools. Many people believe that sending their children to a Catholic school is a waste of money and time, but they could not be more wrong. I have grown up in the Catholic school system my whole life. I have realized that my peers and I have learned many more lessons on how to live a good life, and how to remain faithful. We are not only learning everyone’s typical subjects, but also what we need to be happy. Catholic schools are typically smaller and have more freedom to teach in different ways. This helps pupils become successful and reach their…
