None of your business!

Catholic schools are the best.. they have extra funding, smaller class sizes and better help with the children... I am catholic, my son is catholic and my family is catholic. Iam all for non-catholics going to catholic schools as it gives the children a chance to mix with other faiths and learn about them....

Closing words after my ramble..... None of your business!

That's not always true. Mount carmel is a catholic school, right across the road from me but I WOULD NOT send mine there.

You should still be able to, try a different church, its at the discretion of the priest.. you could get baptised at the same time if you wanted?

Thats something that makes me laugh. Is religion really taken seriously any more?? or is it just something you do to get your kids into a school??

Father Jude at St Albans is a lovely man (although he's a dingle ) he was really nice to me but the Father at St Anthonys (he was filling in for Father Francis) at St Theresa's was really nasty with me, they say that the faith has to come from the parents

That depends on how you measure a school. It's certainly not the case when attaining exam results.

Which is all good and well. But what happens when you don't go until a year before you want your kid in a CERTAIN school?? or when they are one religion but you decide to change religions because of school??

It's all very silly to me.
