Preserving the Mission: Advocating for Catholic Education in Minnesota

Join us for the latest episode of the Friends of the Bridegroom Podcast, the podcast of Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church and School in Savage, Minnesota. Hosted by Father Ben Little, this episode features a conversation with our school principal, Mary Ziebell, as they discuss the vital mission of Catholic education, the challenges facing non-public schools in Minnesota and the importance of nurturing faith, intellect and virtue in our students.

Discover how Saint John’s continues its legacy of forming faith-filled, intelligent leaders for the common good, and learn about the proposed elimination of state aid for non-public schools, which impacts essential services like transportation, counseling, nursing and special education. Mary and Father Ben share insights on how this proposal affects families and the broader mission of Catholic education.

Stay tuned for practical ways to help advocate for this funding, including reaching out to legislators through the Minnesota Catholic Conference and participating in Eucharistic Adoration at the State Capitol. Together, we can be a voice for the future of Catholic education and the well-being of our children.
