[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this is a silly question but I was not raised in the US (came here as an adult) so I am not very familiar with private high school application processes. I am Catholic and DH is Episcopalian. Both our kids got baptized in the Episcopalian Church. We have attended mass at both Catholic and Episcopalian churches and our kids are familiar with service at both churches.
Our eldest will be applying to high schools next fall and a couple of the schools she is interested in are Catholic.  
What should we put down for our family denomination when asked? I am assuming we have to put Episcopalian for the kids because that's where they were baptized? Would this put them at a disadvantage in admissions?

If your kids have not made any sacraments in the Catholic church, they aren't Catholic for this purpose.

Catholic schools in this area give a fair amount of preference to kids whose parents have shown committment to Catholic education all along.  They give a much smaller amount of preference to kids who have made their sacraments and have come from public or other private school.

I would write "Christian".  [/quote]
