RAMS FUTURE DOESN\’T INCLUDE GLOUCESTER CITY-Gloucester Catholic High School is going ahead with its plans to build a new athletic campus on 75 acres in Deptford according to an article in the June 17 Philadelphia Inquirer. The Diocese owns the ground and is giving it to the school. 

\"20110616_inq_jcath16-a\" CNBNews.net/GCN broke the story in May.
