[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SR parent.  No one cares or is even interested in what religion you are.  If you are concerned, the admissions office will have a non- catholic family call you.[/quote]

+1 from another SR parent.

My son is in a private Catholic boys' school, not one of the 4 originally mentioned. Both DS and DD attended parochial school from K through 5.

We have had non-Catholic friends in all these schools, and no one cared about each other's religion. Some of the non-Catholic parents have been among the most involved volunteers and most generous supporters of the schools. We've always liked that non-Catholics attended our child's Catholic school, because their choice validated the school, their kids enriched it, and their tuition supported it.

I think there are some anti-Catholic sock puppets on this thread, trying to scare people away from Catholic schools.

So, OP, I'd say you should visit the school, talk frankly to the admissions office about your concerns, talk to non-Catholic families (of which there are many) at each school, and make up your own mind. Don't be scared by a book Pat Buchanan wrote about his insular Irish-Catholic school experience during the Truman administration.
