Alliance for Catholic Education
Fr. Joe Corpora, C.S.C., ACE's Director of the Catholic School Advantage Campaign, will provide live commentary during Pope Francis's Friday visit to Our Lady Queen of Angels School (OLQA), an urban Catholic school in East Harlem. Francis' time with the elementary students and the school community will be livecast on the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) beginning at 4pm.
Our Lady Queen of Angels has welcomed children from immigrant and disadvantaged families for more than 120 years. In 2013, the school joined the Partnership for Inner-city Education, which works "exclusively to strengthen and preserve Catholic education in New York City." During the visit, the students of OLQA will sing for Pope Francis, pray with him, and hold a discussion on service and the environment.
Fr. Joe will add his unique perspective as a former pastor of a parish school as well as director of ACE's Latino Enrollment Institute and the School Pastors Institute initiatives.
