Project Origin

This project began with my decision to interview and/or read about 100 alumni and/or their parents who were educated in those inner city Catholic schools between 1940-1970.

Core of the Narrative

Their personal stories are at the core of this narrative that details the Catholic church's impact on their lives.

Additional Focus

In addition, I wanted to write about the collaborative efforts of the members of the many religious orders and lay ministers who were instrumental in creating a disciplined, supportive and productive learning environment.
