America Magazine has published a fascinating article featuring Dr. Patricia Weitzel-O’Neill, director of the Roche Center of Catholic Education at Boston College, and Dr. Hosffman Ospino, associate professor of Hispanic ministry and religious education, also at Boston College. As our readers may remember, Dr. Weitzel-O’Neill and Dr. Ospino co-authored the 2016 report “Catholic Schools in an Increasingly Hispanic Church,” a report which is cited quite often in this article.
The article, written by Brandon Sanchez, discusses the changing demographics of Catholic schools and how school faculties are not reflecting those changes. Citing figures such as Dale McDonald, P.B.V.M., director of public policy at the National Catholic Educational Association, the article addresses the intricacies of the “weak professional” pipeline which directly influences Catholic schools’ teaching staff.
