@realstocksnews @PeteSampson_ Must be the law that applies when playing average teams.

@jennfrey I agree but worth noting that the medieval teens weren’t asked to read Descartes and Hume. There are reasons to be cautious and it matters which philosophers we read when most impressionable.

@JuliaJuliagulia Tell me why!

This is the crowd at Mass at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Greenville, South Carolina, in the heart of the Bible Belt.

From what I hear, South Carolina is seeing growing interest in people becoming Catholic, along with an increase in vocations to the priesthood. The Diocese of Charleston has nearly 40 men in formation for the priesthood, serving about 242,000 Catholics across the state.

@Sachinettiyil OLR Greenville is an awesome parish. Growing and filled with young families. https://t.co/UjQ1aauYkV is also fantastic if you are looking for K-12 classical.

@jennfrey The cultivation of the imagination is generally under considered as an aspect of K12 education. Also, the things that destroy it.

@dlongenecker1 I saw these angles in my Saxon Math book

I agree that classical education will be more valuable than ever in an era where artificial intelligence will become increasingly prominent.

In 2015, Our Lady of the Rosary Parish and School in Greenville, South Carolina, was down to just 130 students, with enrollment continuing to decline. The parish brought in Tommy Curtain, (a Notre Dame-trained lawyer and accomplished pianist) to become the new head of school.

Ten years later, Our Lady of the Rosary is widely regarded as a national flagship Catholic school. I have met families who moved across the country just to enroll their children here. Daily Mass, classical education, and serious spiritual formation are all happening here.

One of the things I love most about it is that it is so radically simple. For centuries in the West, the local parish educated the next generation. Our Lady of the Rosary has simply returned to that model, and in doing so has revitalized both the parish and the school.

The more vibrant the school becomes, the more vibrant the parish becomes. And the more vibrant the parish becomes, the more vibrant the school becomes. It is beautiful, and it is the way God intended it.
