As the 2025–26 school year approaches, Catholic schools across the Diocese of Camden are preparing for another year of academic excellence—freshly cleaned classrooms, updated technology, and new beginnings. But at Holy Angels Catholic School in Woodbury, NJ, one change stands out above the rest: a bold transition to a classical Catholic curriculum.
This week on Talking Catholic, cohosts Marianela Nunez and Mike Bress sit down with Father Joseph Byerley, pastor of Holy Angels Parish; Matthew Soldano, the school’s Director of Curriculum; and new principal William Hennessy to explore what this exciting shift means for students, teachers, and the broader school community.
Together, they unpack how classical education—rooted in timeless wisdom and the Catholic intellectual tradition—can help form young minds into virtuous, faith-filled citizens of the world. They also discuss the reasons behind the change, what the transition entails, and the vision guiding Holy Angels into a new era of learning.
