Archdiocese of Newark

I am ashamed and disappointed that you have decided to close one of the few beloved schools in the area. St. Joseph school, East Rutherford, NJ. You have no idea what you have done. You don't even care how many hearts and soul's you have destroyed. This isn't God's way. How can you take our children and just throw them out like yesterday's garbage. Some of those kids can't make it in a public school, some of those kids can't afford the other catholic schools. You send them to St. Mary's? Why so the enrollment can increase. Is that why Doctor Bob was let go? He was the best person for St. Mary's. Do you even realize that that is why so many families left St. Mary's. Do you even listen to the parents? Are you in these schools? Do you even take a moment to get to know the children and their families? We are human, not a thing that you can just discard. Shame on you. Because of you I have no more faith!!!!

May your God forgive you. Maria Marchia
