St. Mark Catholic Church in Richmond, Kentucky presented a "
A Day Among Friends" featuring former First Lady Laura Bush. Today's event was a charity event for St. Mark Catholic School. Reverend James W. Sichko Pastor of St. Mark Church introduced Mrs. Bush sharing that literacy and education are not linked to one political party.
Mrs. Bush shared her guiding passion in life is literacy. Reading her autobiography Spoken from the Heart, I have discovered a new appreciation for our former first lady.

At the luncheon, a short video was presented where parents, teachers, and Father Sichko talked about the importance of Catholic education. This evening, I talked with a family member (my husband's cousin) from Meridian, Mississippi. As a wife, mother, grandmother, and former principal, Martha reflected on the value of her Catholic education. As an educator, she enrolled her children in Catholic school. Now, her grandson attends a Catholic pre school. Whether in Kentucky or Mississippi, Catholic Schools continue to shape and mold the lives of children. I am smiling. Just think, the little girls who were Baptists grew up to appreciate all the lessons taught by the nuns.

Education can be the path to understanding and unity! It unlocks the doors of bigotry and ignorance. Literacy is key. Blessings to Mrs. Bush and her work to put the key in all hands. Looks like a lovely time. Pretty table.
