St Marys versus St Louis

Its an issue at our local public so I am curious if this is a problem everywhere or especially bad for a Catholic school.

We’re at a different Catholic school that’s nearby and I’m aware of a couple of incidences of bullying, but the administration took it seriously and dealt with it pretty swiftly and it was resolved pretty quickly from what I know.

I think in alot of public schools it seems that the teachers feel their hands are tied and they are not backed up by their admins, so it may be a larger issue.

Bullying is handled swiftly at St. Louis. We have multiple kids and have only had one problem. Teacher/admin/counselor all engaged. The problem was nipped in the bid. They put the children in separate classrooms the next year too.

As a soon to be parent I appreciate this response! We are moving from public to St. Louis mostly due to bullying/fear of violence that was not handled appropriately in the public school space.

PP again. There’s definitely none of that at STL. Sometimes kids make mistakes, but the students are generally good kids. There’s a big emphasis on character.

Does St Mary’s allow students to bring Bibles to Friday Mass to read? If not, why not?

How many Catholics actually bring a Bible to Mass? Just about no one.

Probably b/c teachers don’t want to be responsible for ensuring students take said Bible and get it back home.

If a student wishes to bring a Bible to Mass, sure. Why do you ask?

Ultimately, it’s the church’s Rector’s responsibility (and fault). He, not the principal, controls the school. Surprised that the Diocese hasn’t noticed the chaos and stepped in yet.

This. Hathaway is the problem and is going to bankrupt the parish. We quit giving the minute our kid graduated 8th grade; he's spending like there's no tomorrow.

He bankrupted his previous parish as well. Hathway is the problem, bottom line. He's a freakshow! He compared covid to the everyday flu (his words). He's not very priestly!

Yeah, what does the Bible have to do with God?! Why would anyone take a Bible to church?? So weird.

So weird that you would use the missals in church that correspond to the readings from the Bible?

Weird to have missals rather than just using the Bible.

What happened to Covid? I actually hear more about the flu lately than I do about Covid. So I wouldn’t criticize him for that — he was way ahead of his time and should be applauded for not succumbing to the hysteria.
