Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
My own experience attending a Catholic high school was transformational both spiritually and intellectually. Saying "yes" to ACE gives me the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the extraordinary teachers who gave me that Catholic school experience while living in the fellowship of an intentional Christian community.
