On Tuesday, January 19, faculty, school administration and parents were informed that Bishop Guilfoyle Regional Catholic School will close at the end of the current school year due to declining enrollment and resulting financial struggles.

Last week the Diocese announced that Wildwood Catholic HS was closing. Below is the letter sent to school families today:

Dear Parents:

Our diocese, like many in the Northeast, has faced significant challenges related to demographic and population changes. While population has grown in South Jersey , many municipalities have experienced actual population declines. This population decline, when coupled with a decline in religious practice, has resulted in declining enrollment in our schools, rising deficits and heavy burdens on the sponsoring parishes.
