Denver, Colo., May 5, 2013 / 06:01 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On May 7, the Church celebrates the recently-canonized Italian educator Saint Rosa Venerini, who founded Catholic schools for girls and young women during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

St. Rosa (also known as St. Rose) was declared a saint in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI, who spoke in his canonization homily of her courageous work for “the spiritual elevation and authentic emancipation of the young women of her time.” Read more
Is it better to teach boys and girls separately? Should Catholic schools take a lead in restoring “same-sex” education?
The Feast of the recently canonized Italian educator Saint Rosa Venerini, celebrated on 7th May, is as good a time as any to consider the question. Catholic schools are failing in their mission to produce educated and truly informed Catholics. Maybe restoring the boys/girls only system would help?
