Passing on the gift of Catholic education
Fairfield County Catholic – February 2010
Some financial experts recommend companies provide educational opportunities for their employees during downturns in the economy, claiming education is a “safe investment” in troubled economic times. Education, they say, can maximize a company’s overall worth because it improves the most important aspect of any business – its human capital.
It follows, then, that a Catholic education is a “safe investment” in a troubled world; and even if the world were not in such turmoil, hundreds of thousands of parents would continue to find a substantial return on investment by sending their children to parochial schools.
