SAUK CITY — One of the most important decisions parents must make is where to send their children to school.
St. Aloysius School in Sauk City not only offers a complete education that includes curriculum and programs that provide for a well-rounded graduate, it also offers an additional advantage seldom found these days: the continual presence of priest instruction in the classrooms.
Priests part of school
“I love to see our priests come happily into school many times every week,” commented Pam Sternberg, school secretary at St. Aloysius School.
“Our children are very comfortable and warmed with their presence and our priests are very much a part of our school.”
Five priests from the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest already have many responsibilities at their individual parishes. In addition, they take advantage of all opportunities available to instruct the children by also spending time teaching at St. Aloysius School.
According to Daniela Saldana, principal of St. Aloysius School, “Just having the priests walking down the hallway of our school, the place gets filled with peace and a sense of the sacredness.”
