To celebrate the legacy of the Catholic Church\u2019s commitment to social justice, on Wednesday, February 1, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory (SHCP) will host guest speakers, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom<\/strong> and University of San Francisco president Father Steve Privett, S.J. at an annual student assembly during Catholic Schools Week. Catholic School\u2019s Week, this year from January 29 through February 4, is an annual national celebration of the important role that Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the country play in providing a values-added education for America\u2019s young people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow. Values-added education X PPGG Fundraiser = 0 because that’s what you get when you multiply anything times 0. Zero. <\/p>\n

What a farce.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
