Within the past year, a number of homeschool cooperative or satellite programs have approached parishes within the Diocese of San Diego, seeking to establish programs on parish sites. Some of these programs have also sought to establish religious formation or sacramental preparation programs within the parish setting that are dedicated specifically for homeschool students. This has become a source of tension within the diocese.
Two weeks ago, the diocese established a new policy on the use of parish buildings for educational programs. This policy was passed by the Presbyteral Council by a vote of 13 to one and was approved by Cardinal McElroy.
