ACE Rapp Ignite Talk

Back in October of 2023, Dr. Shane Rapp and Mr. Sam Rockford were asked to give presentations at The University of Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Leadership Conference. The conference provides learning opportunities for Catholic school leaders from across the country.

 

Dr. Rapp’s talk is the focus of this podcast. His audience was a ballroom of 300 and the purpose was to “ignite” (or kick-off) the Spiritual Leadership sessions of the conference.  

 

His address spoke not only to the leaders in the room, but also to our St. James Academy community. Whether you are a family considering St. James Academy, a family new to our community, or if you have been here from day-one; this talk might be the best insight to the heart of our leadership. What is the purpose of Catholic education? What is the mission? How do we stick to that mission?

 

Join us for this long-form podcast. In it you will hear the entirety of Dr. Rapp’s speech with real-time reactions from Andy Tylicki, President of St. James Academy, and Deborah Nearmyer, Vice-President of Faith and Mission, hosted by Sam Rockford, Director of Educational Programming.
