Press Release/Meeting on school closures

I received a few notices of this meeting in my email, so I figured I'd post it here for all to see.

PRESS RELEASE

The Parent groups of Bishop Hafey High School, Bishop O'Reilly
High School and Seton Catholic High School are hosting a forum to
discuss their response to the Bishop's final plan in closing the
schools. It is asked that anyone interested in Catholic education in
Luzerne County attend. It is the hope that parents, students, alumni,
relatives and friends of students who are affected by the Bishop's
decision will attend. It is particularly asked that the Bishop Hoban
High School parents, students, alumni, relatives and friends who also
wish to enter into this discussion attend.

Being that all the elementary Catholic grade schools in Luzerne
County are affected, those parents, alumni, relatives and friends are
asked to attend.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss specific ways to let
the Bishop and the people of the Scranton Diocese know how this
decision, which is against general Catholic teaching and philosophy as
we all have known it, is strictly a business decision. The meeting will
be held Sunday, January 21, 2007 from 2:00p.m to 5:00p.m at Convention
Hall in Pittston Township which is conveniently located off Route 315
and Route 81. The site was selected since it is accessible and because
of the capacity to hold a large number of people. Any further
information concerning same please contact the various leaders of the
parents groups and/or contact any parent in the three schools that are
actually hosting this forum.
