EDITORIAL: Numbers tell sad story for parochial schools
This is not exactly the kind of news the archdiocese needs right now. Already mired in persistent negative headlines sparked by criminal charges filed by the district attorney in Philadelphia in connection with grand jury investigations into child sexual abuse at the hands of priests, no one in the archdiocese wants to add more ill will by closing parish schools.

Story Of Saint Philomina - News
At Our Lady of Charity and St. Philomena, it was the same sad tune. In 2005 Our Lady of Charity had an enrollment of 288; it was down to 176 this year. Only 89 children had re-registered for classes next fall. It was much the same story at St.
As it was earlier this week with Our Lady of Charity in Brookhaven, and St. Philomena in Lansdowne, it was the numbers. There were 198 kids enrolled at St. Kevin's in 2005. This year they had 158. Only 93 were re-registered for next year.
And Tuesday it was a different story with Charity and St. Philomena closing. That's when we got the letter,” said O'Toole, who chairs St. Kevin's Scrip program, which provides tuition credits through the sale of gift cards.
We also have the St Mungo museum of religious art and life. Given the debate that we had in the chamber this morning, I hope that that museum will continue to play its part in the educational process in the west of Scotland and Scotland in general in
St Philomena's story - in her words - Christian Forums
On the 3rd of August, 1833, this nun was praying after Communion, before a statue of Saint Philomena and she felt a great wish to know the true day of the Saints martyrdom, because, after all, August 10th was only the day the relics arrive in Mugnano - a great day for Mugnano, but of not so much importance to people who lived elsewhere. She had often thought of this, but suddenly the desire filled her heart. And then she felt that she must close her eyes and that she could not open them to look at the statue any more and a gracious and soft voice came from the direction of the statue, saying: Dear Sister, August the 10th was the day of my rest, my triumph, my birth into Heaven, my entering into the possession of such eternal goods as the human mind cannot possibly imagine. That is why my Heavenly Spouse disposed, by His most high decrees that my coming to Mugnano should be on the day which had seen my coming to Heaven! He prepared so many circumstances which should make my arrival at Mugnano glorious and triumphant; giving joy to all the people, even though the priest who brought me had absolutely decided that my translation should take place on the 5th of the month very quietly in his own house. My omnipotent Spouse impeded him with so many obstacles that the priest, although he did all he could to carry out his plan, could not do so. And so it came about that the said translation was made on the tenth, the day of my feast in Heaven The result of this happening as that Mother Maria Luisa was overwhelmed with sadness at the thought that she should fall so easy a prey to an illusion. She took refuge in the sacrament of penance, confessing the whole thing to her director. He was not so hasty in disposing of the matter. He tested it. He wrote off to Mugnano, and asked Don Francesco whether it was true that he had originally intended to have the translation on the 5th and quite quietly in his own house. And the reply came that after clearly how many obstacles prevented his innocent attempt to bring his resent from Rome quickly and quietly into his own chapel! At that, Mother Luisa director gave her an obedience to ask Saint Philomena to tell her some more about her life and martyrdom. So Mother Luisa went to her, and begged her not to take any notice of her unworthiness, but to consider that it was a matter of holy obedience, and to reveal a little more.
