When the Sisters Said Farewell: The Transition of Leadership in Catholic Elementary Schools
Michael Caruso, S.J., will discuss his book, When the Sisters Said Farewell, which tells an important story of the Catholic educational experience in the United States.

Friday, May 4, 3:00 p.m.
The Cristo Rey Story
John Foley, S.J., will talk about the Cristo Rey educational model-what it is, how it got started, and how it is flourishing. He will discuss how this nation-wide program works for kids from the center-city.
