I had a meeting last week in Main Hall at St. Norbert College. As Peter and I walked up the stairs and opened the doors, I was hit with a wave of emotion. Nearly fifty years ago, my mom would’ve been walking up the same steps to interview for her first teaching job out of graduate school on the Psychology faculty. Right around the same time, my dad would’ve been opening these same doors for his own interview to work as an Associate Dean of Admissions. They would meet on a blind date a year or two later. Never in a million years did I think the Holy Spirit would lead me back here, right back to where my story started. The work we do at CatholicLink and CatholicLeader Academy is deeply personal. We would love to hear your CatholicLink story - did you go to a Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) grade school? Or maybe you were a Triton at Notre Dame de la Baie Academy (or Pennings, Premontre, Catholic Central or St. Joe’s)? Or like me, maybe your story started at St. Norbert College! Leave a comment, send a note, please just interact with this post to let us know what Catholic education means to you 💚💛🤍💙
