Brett Salkeld writes, “Teaching students what to think without teaching them how to think is dangerous and irresponsible.” In his book “Educating for Eternity: A Teacher’s Companion for Making Every Class Catholic,” Salkeld makes an argument for Catholic education that goes beyond the utilitarian preparation for employment and trains a student to think like a Catholic. Salkeld is a theologian for the Archdiocese of Regina, Saskatchewan, in Canada. He lives in Regina with his wife Flannery and their seven children.
St. Jeanne Jugan is often portrayed looking quite solemn, but she was actually very joyful. She was known to exclaim, “What happiness to be a Little Sister of the Poor!” and to counsel the young Little Sisters that “making the elderly happy is what counts.”
