School of the Holy Child - Rye, New York
This all-girl catholic school chose my book to read over the summer, and have invited me to lecture to the students on Thursday, September 27th. Very cool since I attended a catholic school a long long time ago. No, it was not an all-girl school. This one sounds great, read on:
Since its founding, School of the Holy Child has provided generations of young women with a strong liberal arts education rooted in Catholic values and based on the trust and reverence for the dignity and uniqueness of each person. Originally named St. Walburga’s academy in memory of Reverend Mother Mary Walburga White, SHCJ the first Provincial of the American Province of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, the school opened its doors in a small house on West 141st Street in New York City. Under the leadership of First Perfect Mother St. Ignatius, ten sisters and 14 students began classes on October 17, 1904.
1904! According to my friend George Snyder is the year everything important happened.
