Bonner, Prendie & the Miracle of Drexel Hill

Call it the Miracle of Drexel Hill.

Never let it be said that the proud tradition of Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast high schools went down without a fight.

As Archbishop Charles Chaput mulls a decision on whether to grant their appeal of the archdiocese Blue Ribbon Commission’s recommendation that both Delco schools be closed, alumni are giving him 1,345,511 reasons why that would be a good idea.

That is the astounding sum of money friends and alumni of the two schools have raised in just a few weeks since the recommendation was made public.

We’ll have representatives from the school and alumni groups on with us tonight for our live-stream Internet show, “Live From the Newsroom,” tonight to update their fundraising efforts and when they expect to hear from the archdiocese.

Tune in at 7 and join in the live chat. If you have a question you’d like me to ask them, feel free to email it to me at editor@delcotimes.com.
