These are tough times for parochial schools in Delaware County.
The archdiocese announced last week they would be closing three more schools, Our Lady of Charity in Brookhaven, St. Philomena in Lansdowne, and St. Kevin in Springfield.
Tonight the last class at St. Kevin’s will collect their diplomas and end 54 years of Catholic education.
At the same time, we’ll be delving into the topic of the closings of these three schools in our livei-stream Internet broadcast, ‘Live From the Newsroom.”
We’ll be joined by several parents active in St. Kevin’s who disagree with the decision by the archdiocese and say they have the numbers to back it up.
We also have an invitation for Mary Rochford, superintendent of schools for the archdiocese, or another representative, to join us. I’m not holding my breath.
Do you have a question you’d like asked, or at least put forth, on this controversial topic? Email me your questions now at editor@delcotimes.com.
Then tune in tonight at DelcoTimes.com, and take part in the live chat part of the show.
If it’s Wednesday night, it’s time for ‘Live From the Newsroom.’ You have an open invitation to take part.
