The program, "Focus on Faith," was sponsored by the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate 'School board, and was initiated in 1974 by the Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association to highlight the faith dimension of catholic schools in the province.. Participating in the program were two parent couples from each of the 19 separate schools, principals and their spouses, teacher representatives and spouses, the trustees and their wives, the priests, administrative staff and their wives and Bishop John Sherlock of London, the celebrant of the Eucharist. Special speakers for the day from the Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association were Chris Asseff, Executive Director and Sister Elaine Dunn, Resource Co-ordinator. The program has been divided into three phases, the first involved the trustees, while Sunday's program which was the second phase, involved the parents, and phase three will have the children in the catholic schools as the centre and object of the program. On Sunday, the parents discussed ways through which the home, the school, the church and the com- munity could work together in better faith commitment. It was found that parents 'cannot work as individuals, but require help from many sources to fulfill the role of catholic Christian parent. Sister Elaine in her address said that parents, priests, principals, and teachers "should be united around our children" and repeated a statement by Bishop Sherlock that "what gets com- municated to children are: the values you hold, the things you love and the lives you live". Mr. Asseff said that parents are apathetic and no one has found a way to get them in terested in the faith education of their children until the present Focus on Faith program and we are showing the parents they have a very important part to play in the • faith education of their children. Mr. Asseff told the group that parents ' have the primary and inalienable right and responsibility for the education of their ihildren and that faith must be blended with learning and living as it is in the home. Mr. Asseff said, "Our schools come into being and continue to the extent that catholic ° parents consider their faith to be their most precious legacy to their children." He said, "Our schools must meet this primary stand: deepening, clarifying, ripening-- the faith received in the home." William Eckert, director of education, concluded his remarks to the assembly: "We take pride in our beliefs and we want our children to believe as we do. We want to give our children the best possible chances for knowing, understanding and loving Go,1." Representatives from St. Joseph's Separate School in Clinton chat with Chris Asseff, left, executive director of the Ontario Separate School trustees association during a Focus on Faith seminar held in Dublin last Saturday.
