St. Matthias school merger likely

After nearly 14 months of discussion, St. Matthias the Apostle School Pastor William Kester announced that if Archbishop Raymond Burke agrees, the school will close its doors in May and next year students will go to St. Francis of Assisi School.

Kester will present the merger proposal to the Catholic School Office. The Catholic School Office will take it under advisement and forward it to Burke, who will make the final decision on the proposal. That decision is expected to come in February.

The parish council settled on St. Francis of Assisi School on Telegraph because the school is large enough to accommodate all of the St. Matthias students; the facilities are equal to or better than what St. Matthias has; and there is a gymnasium, kitchen and library with two part-time learning consultants.
