Elizabeth Ann Seton Few people have changed the lives of so many children as Elizabeth Anne Seton, the first American-born saint. Born in 1774 in New York City, just before the American Revolution, Elizabeth Bayley was home-schooled by her father, a Professor of Anatomy at King's College (now known as Columbia). At age 19, she married a wealthy young merchant named William Seton, and threw herself into social work; by age 23, she had founded the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children. But she herself become a widow six years later, when her husband's death left her with five children to raise by herself. The family had traveled to Italy in attempt to improve William Seton's failing health; after his death in Pisa , she stayed on in Italy for two years, as she became increasingly interested in the novel (to her) religion of Catholicism. Having been raised as an Episcopalian, she converted to Catholicism at age 31. Her grandfather had been rector at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Staten Island, and neither her family nor friends accepted her decision. She was immediately ostracized. To support her children, she opened a school in New York City.

24. AJCongress On Supreme Court Ruling Aid To Parochial Schools (June 28, 2000) Today s Supreme Court decision in the louisiana case Mitchell payfor computers and other instructional materials for use in parochial schools. http://ajcongress.org/pages/RELS2000/JUN_2000/jun00_06.htm

SUPREME COURT DECISION ON TAXPAYER FUNDING OF COMPUTERS TO PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS 'BLASTS HOLE' IN WALL OF CHURCH-STATE SEPARATION, AJCONGRESS SAYS (June 28, 2000) Today's Supreme Court decision in the Louisiana case Mitchell v. Helms "blasts a hole" in the wall of church-state separation, declared the American Jewish Congress today, "with unforeseeable consequences for the First Amendment values that have governed our nation since its inception." The ruling, overturning two prior Supreme Court decisions, permits taxpayer money to pay for computers and other instructional materials for use in parochial schools. "By declaring that the 1970's decisions banning supplies other than text books to parochial schools no longer are operative," said AJCongress Executive Director Phil Baum in a statement, "the Court has now largely jettisoned the understanding which gave rise to those earlier decisions that the Constitution assigns responsibility for funding parochial schools to those who share the religious assumptions of the schools." AJCongress did, however, find a silver lining in the "key opinion" of Justices O'Connor and Breyer, which "makes plain that direct financial aid to parochial schools in the form of vouchers, remains unconstitutional."

25. Mitchell V. Helms school children in Jefferson Parish, louisiana discovered that close to $18 millionin state funds were being used by private and parochial schools to fund bus http://www.streetlaw.org/mitchellvhelms.html

Mitchell v. Helms The Facts In 1984, parents of public school children in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana discovered that close to $18 million in state funds were being used by private and parochial schools to fund bus transportation, textbooks, overhead projectors, library books and computers. Mary Helms, a parent of public school children, was outraged at this discovery and brought suit claiming that this use of the Title I funds by parochial schools was a violation of the separation of church and state under the First Amendment's Establishment's Clause. The Lawsuit After five years of research, the District Court initially found that the use of public funds by parochial schools was a violation of the separation of church and state. The original trial judge distinguished between the lending of textbooks to parochial schools and the use of instructional materials. The trial judge concluded that the use of textbooks was permissible because they could be monitored and screened to make sure they were not biased and did not promote religious beliefs. The use of instructional materials (i.e., computers, maps and projectors), however, was an invalid use of state funds because they could be used in a variety of unmonitored ways to promote religion in the classroom.

27. ACRU - ACLU Watch - The Aid To Parochial Schools Case The Aid to parochial schools Case. and equipment to private as well as public schoolsunder a It was brought in a louisiana Parish, where 30% of such aid went http://www.civilrightsunion.com/acluwatch/aid.htm

The "Aid to Parochial Schools" Case In Mitchell v. Helms, (98-1648), decided June 28, 2000, the Supreme Court decided that aid in the form of text books, materials and equipment to private as well as public schools under a federal law, did not violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. The case has a curious history. It was brought in a Louisiana Parish, where 30% of such aid went to private schools that were also Catholic. (Aid was provided on the basis of student enrollment.) One District Judge struck the statute down. He retired, and the subsequent Judge upheld the statute. Then, the Court of Appeals reversed the judgment based on its reading of intervening Supreme Court decisions. Then the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, upholding the statute. The position of the ACLU was against the statute that provided this aid. The judgment of the Court was written by Justice Thomas, joined by the Chief Justice, and Justices Scalia and Kennedy. It noted first that the aid to schools should be equal for all students, regardless of their school, that any participating private schools had to be non-profit, and that the materials or equipment provided under Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 was required to be "secular, neutral, and nonideological." The judgment noted the problems of analysis presented in this case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, both by the seemingly conflicting decisions of the Supreme Court itself, and conflicting opinions in other Circuits (which are, of course, advisory rather than binding to other Circuit Courts). It said, "The Fifth Circuit thus faced a dilemma between, on the one hand, the Ninth Circuit’s holding and analysis in Walker and our subsequent decisions in Rosenberger and Agostini, and, on the other hand, our holdings in Meek and Wolman. To resolve the dilemma, the Fifth Circuit abandoned any effort to find coherence in our case law or to divine the future course of our decisions and instead focused on our particular holdings."

29. St. John Parish, Louisiana time the Acadians or Cajuns began arriving in South louisiana after being parishhas fourteen public schools, one private school and three parochial schools. http://www.sjbparish.com/community/history.htm

Historical actor at San Francisco Plantation St. John the Baptist Parish was the second permanent settlement in Louisiana and established in the early 1720's by a group of Germans, hence becoming known as "La Cote des Allemands" or "The German Coast". Led by Karl Frederic D'Arensbourg, a settlement was created on the west bank of the Mississippi River in the area now known as Lucy which was originally named Karistein. Some families also began farming land on the east bank, in what is now Garyville and Reserve. D'Arensbourg's grandson, Jacques Villere , was born at Lucy and became the second governor of the state of Louisiana. He was the first Creole (Louisiana born) person of pure European descent to hold that office. The area remained under the French regime until 1768, when France delivered Louisiana to the Spanish. At this time the Acadians or "Cajuns" began arriving in South Louisiana after being exiled from Nova Scotia. The first Acadian settlement was established at what is now called Wallace. The French and German cultures mixed, with French becoming the dominant language. German names were given French translations. Heidel became Haydel, Ruber became Oubre, Treagor - Tregre and so on... In these early years, transportation was by boat, some on the Mississippi River, which was treacherous, but mainly on the many bayous and lakes. Few roads existed. Observation posts were built along the river, and manned by women, who kept lookout for the few Native Americans that previously lived here.

Not only did the nuns teach girls who became women, but they taught, inspired and challenged boys who became men. Shortly after their arrival in 1860 the Dominican sisters at St. John's accepted boys too young for the Christian Brothers.When yellow fever and hardship forced the brothers to leave, the sisters agreed to teach "boys of manageable age." Among the alumni of their coeducational parochial schools are priests, bishops, business men, lawyers, doctors, judges, professors, engineers and others; they honor the sisters who awakened them to the magic of knowledge and the gift of God's love. Elementary school teachers have the first and the longest opportunity to reach children.
