[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any talk among the parish about removing the pastor in seeking better management? [/quote]

Look, I don't know the pastor personally, but he has a good reputation.  His brother is a bishop and their dad was a prominent deacon.  The diocesan system asks a lot of its pastors.  They are in charge of the spiritual formation of their flock as well as administrative functions, including school management.  Very few people have this large skill set.  I think that the US is the only country in the world with parochial schools.  Thank St. Elizabeth Ann Seton for that.  In other countries, religious orders or more recently, lay groups, run schools.

Several other countries, including Canada, Spain, Italy, and Germany funnel public funds towards religious schools.  Parents don't have to pay taxes for public schools AND pay additional huge funds for Catholic schools on top of that.

If you have a problem with the pastor's management, it's a US-wide problem, not a personal problem.[/quote]

Amen. I thought the pastor and principal were a bit unfairly attacked in this forum previously.[/quote]
