When I toured Holy Rosary Academy in February of 2007 I was truly amazed. Here is a school that takes Catholic identity very seriously. They believe in the redemptive power of our Lord Jesus and place this belief at the center of what they do. What they do is to welcome all comers through open enrollment and to demand the best. Their middle grade Latin students beat 11th and 12th graders from other schools. The teachers were dedicated and seemed to love what they were doing. Students enjoyed going to their classes because, as one student told me, concepts they learned in one class were connected to what they were learning in other classes. Well done Holy Rosary Academy.
Here’s what Executive Director Mr. Edward Wassell had to say about Apostles & Markets:
“Apostles & Markets is a much needed work in a field that has been the source of so much confusion in the Church and in general throughout the United States. The need is critical, because clarity in a field so dominating our news for at least the last half century (every day stock prices, options, APRs, national debt, GDP, gasoline prices, Black Friday etc. are the subjects of mass media) is essential to avoid ignorance in a largely economic secular world.
“Apostles & Markets lifts the veil of economic ignorance but even more importantly its Catholic perspective and inclusion, definition and understanding of such primary concepts as the just price and just wage bring a Catholic view point to a field formerly bereft of the Catholic Church’s 2000 year-old wisdom.”
