"It has been a very difficult past year and we anticipate another very difficult year ahead, but my husband and I believe very strongly in the Catholic school education. We feel that it is definitely in our children's best interest, and we pray that we will be able to send all of our children to Catholic school." ~ Virginia Beach Family
