[quote=Anonymous]I think your son will enjoy the experience.

I went to public schools K-12 and then Catholic College for sports.

I learned there that lots of my D. 1 teammates had great experiences at Catholic HSes. 
A strong sense of community.
Strong values. 
High academic standards.

I agree, with other posters. You are disrespecting the Church you are attending if you take communion without going through the classes and the First Holy Communion Process. The Catholic Faith calls the bread and wine the Body and Blood and it isn't supposed to be a symbol (as other faiths see it) but something more precious-the Presence, so it is intense. I have been to Temples and followed the crowd but if I don't agree, I don't participate in the ritual.

Gonzaga has a strong sense of service. 
I hope my son chooses to go there and is accepted.  It is more open (Jesuits welcome questions and doubt and philosophical growth) but I am sure the kids will make your kid feel welcome.

Just be aware that things could come up. (abortion, Gay marriage, etc.) Read the parent handbook before you sign!!
