"We let the biggest educational system in the world shrink from 1965 to just the last couple of years, when the attendance at Catholic Schools has started to turn back up. But, in essence, it's been a shrinkage of 75% since 1965 on a percentage basis of Catholics," said Dr. Alex Lessard, author of the recent article "Catholic Education in the 21st Century. "In California, as an example, only one out of 13 Catholic students is in a Catholic school - that speaks to complacency and the desire to fit in." Alex Lessard studied theology as an undergraduate at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and took his doctorate in systematic theology at Boston College. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Institute for Catholic School Leadership at Saint Paul Seminary | University of St. Thomas, teaching the History, Philosophy & Mission of the Catholic School. "The good news is that a renewal of Catholic education has been underway for the past half-century in the homeschool and classical education movements."
