Part of the NCEA Keynote Series, this book details Catholic schooling as the "phenomenon of which all can be proud: the Roman Catholic Church, its leaders, the laity whose sacrifices made it possible, the clergy who worked for it, all who had the vision to make it different from any other in the world, and - especiallly - those religious, lay teacher, and administrators who worked and continue to work very hard for it with little material renumeration."
