From School Success to Wildfire Relief: Lessons in Family and Community Care

On today’s episode of Just Love, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan sits down with Ian Rowe, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and cofounder of Vertex Partnership Academies, a network of virtues-based high schools in the Bronx. We will discuss his recent article in the Wall Street Journal  “The Hidden Factor in Student Success: Family Structure,” and examine the relationship between family stability, educational achievement, and upward mobility. Together, they explore how strong families can help young people thrive academically and prepare for successful futures.

Next, Monsignor Sullivan speaks with Dr. Robert McCann, Ph.D., President and CEO of Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, and Robert Van Tassell, Chair of the Board of Catholic Charities Eastern Washington and former President and CEO of Catholic Charities Hawaii. We will discuss the devastating impact of the Spokane Complex wildfires that continue to affect communities across Eastern Washington. The guests share how Catholic Charities and local faith communities are responding to the crisis, providing relief, assistance, and hope to those affected.
