“Having attended both Catholic and public schools,  I saw first -hand the stark and real cultural difference between the two ….. Catholic Schools provide our youth a “values- based” top quality education that prepares them to meet both educational and personal challenges.  This is why I support FACS, a Foundation which makes this education a reality for so many”
