Media Articles Regarding the Closing

 

Saddened at the news of Lansdale Catholic’s closing, The Reporter, February 28, 2008

 

WNPV 1440 AM "Comment Please", February 4, 2008

 

What is going on?  In the January 31, 2008 issue of the Catholic Standard & Times, there are two references to the construction of the new school in Hilltown, one on the cover page, and one on page 27.  In both of the articles, the reference to the new school in Hilltown is prefaced by the words "Pending funding".

Does this revolving door remind you of anything?  Administrators come and go - no regard or respect for traditions, no concerns about the past, and no worries about the future.  And now the school is stuck with the Philadelphia Catholic League.  What a legacy!

 

Sound Familiar???

Welcome to the LC Alumni website,

compiled and maintained by the

Friends and Alumni of LC, Inc.

 

Selling off the land was a major mistake!  Joining the Philadelphia Catholic League was another!

Let's hope there won't be any more.

Keep Catholic education affordable!

We bid farewell to Father Maloney and wish him well.  He arrived at a time of turmoil with little briefing regarding the environment or understanding of the circumstances.  In spite of this, he did his best to fulfill his role.  During his two years, it was apparent that he took his responsibilities seriously.  He was indeed genuine, and it was difficult not to like him.  There was no façade – what you saw was what he was.  At times, it was apparent that he struggled to fulfill his role and agonized if he offended anyone.  He brought about numerous positive changes for the school and we are grateful for his commitment to his office.  Very few have been put in a position as he was, and in spite of all the adversity and problems, he remained positive and committed to his task.  May he go in peace to love and serve the Lord, and know that his efforts at Lansdale Catholic were  appreciated.

Once again, "Putting Children in Harms Way"

If the Archdiocese proceeds with its plans to locate the new high school at the site in Hilltown Township, it would not be unreasonable to expect that of the anticipated 1,200 enrollment, probably 800 of them will have to travel the treacherous and unsafe Hilltown Pike two times a day. 

Is this not a callous disregard for their safety?  Haven't they learned?
