Before I mov...This brings back such good memories.<br /><br />Before I moved to Georgia, we were members of a somewhat traditional Italian parish in San Diego. Unlke most parishes, they did not demonize homeschoolers and one of the priests had a special Mass for homeschooling families every month. Every year on All Saints Day, there would be an All Saints Day party for the homeschoolers with a Mass and the kids would come dressed as their favorite saints.<br /><br />When we moved to Georgia, my 7-year-old (now 15) said, "Dad, why can't we go to an All Saint's Day Party?" It broke my heart then and it still makes me sad to think about it. We still live in a parish where homeschoolers have about get about as much respect as lepers.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.com
