Should we all attend church so our daughter can apply to school?

My daughter goes to a catholic school. I went to one also. But I am not a practicing catholic, we just liked the school.

The closest high school and also the one with best academic results is catholic and requires 3 years of church going in order to have a decent chance at getting in. It's also likely most of her friends will go there also, well they hope too.

My husband grew up in Muslim home overseas but doesn't practice at all.

In order for my child to go to this high school church going is needed. And to be fair she is quite curious and interested in faith which I am happy to support. My question is does it fall on me to take her or is it fair to expect we ALL go as a family as it is for the benefit of our child.

I’d say make a plan. Sometimes go as a family and show face. Sometimes you divide and conquer. Just because your husband is Muslim doesn’t mean he can’t do his bit sometimes - it’s for his daughter’s education.
