This area needs to face the fact that Catholic schools will NEVER reach the levels of enrollment they enjoyed in the past no matter where they are located. Parents can send their children to local public schools for a quality education, save $7k/yr and take their children to church to teach them religion
I find it very hard to believe that simply moving Mooney from its current location is going to spawn a huge increase in enrollment. Parents who truly believe in and want their child to attend Catholic school will send them to Mooney at the current location because they believe in the tradition.
The decrease in enrollment could be due to the fact that tution is through the roof and public schools are providing quality education without the $7/yr price tag.
Hmmmm charged with misdemeanor assault,under house arrest, receiving mental counseling yep I'd leave a child with her. So sad that an innocent child is hurt at the hands of someone that is suppose to be caring for them. And even more sad that the child's mother didn't stop to think who she was leaving the child with.
My son was a student at Market Street and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about that school. The principal is fair and I personally don't feel the punishment was inappropriate. I would question whether or not this student was in trouble before? It amazes me how some parents jump to blame the school when they need to be looking at their child and his/her behavior.
Churches should be a place where everyone feels safe and welcome knowing that God created everyone. The Bible tells us not to judge therefore what gives anyone the right to judge the love two people have found.

It is sad that nothing has been done in years to keep that school building up to date.

What should churches do with people who admit they are gay or lesbian and want to join their congregations?
