Homeschooling: ‘Beautiful witness’ is also a calling, challenge

From The Superior Catholic Herald...
 

Networking, supporting and encouraging homeschooling parents was the objective of the Diocese of Superior’s inaugural homeschooling conference held Saturday, Sept. 17, at St. Joseph, Rice Lake.

“The goal was just to bring you all together and just see you and meet you,” said Loree Nauertz, associate director of the Office of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship, who welcomed about 50 attendees to the daylong event.

Following greetings from Peggy Schoenfuss, director of Catholic Formation, and Chris Hurtubise, director of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship, Bishop James P. Powers echoed their welcome and spoke of the close-knit homeschooling group in River Falls when he was serving in ministry there years ago.

“What a beautiful witness they were, and what a beautiful witness that homeschooling can be,” he said.
