The Benedict XVI Institute's mission includes supporting and sustaining Truth, Beauty and Goodness Catholic schools. Come and hear. We are looking for "pods" of likeminded parents seeking a Catholic school.
Learn how it's done from people who are doing it!
We invite you to fellowship after this event to chart with like-minded parents. This is how the new Chesterton Academy of St. James got it start: on a Benedict XVI Institute Zoom.
