Catholic education is a highly successful and effective ministry of the Church. Originally established in 17th-century Florida and Louisiana, Catholic schools grew slowly in the new, small nation. As the 19th century progressed and Protestationism infused Horace Mann's common school movement, the Catholic bishops grew concerned about perceived danger to the faith. As the century progressed and European immigration increased, so did the establishment of Catholic schools. With over 340 entries by more than 35 contributors, this encyclopedia reveals the full scope and breadth of the establishment and growth of Catholic schools in the United States. It covers thoroughly the American historical and social context, the effects and influence of the Vatican, as well as the specific educational mission, religious and secular, of Catholic Schools.
