Resources for Observant Catholic Families

Finding a college environment which will foster your child's faith is important. There is no substitute for visiting campuses and attending classes. However, we all start somewhere. Below is information I have collected which will likely be of interest to you.

In October and November, we have a terrific opportunity - Homeschool Connections is hosting a series of webinars by many excellent Catholic colleges and universities. For the complete list and to register, please go to www.tinyurl.com/catholiccolleges

For my webinar on admissions, financial aid, and college funding planning, please see the Events page.
