St. Clair Shores Catholic school closing despite parents raising money to keep it open

According to a letter on Monday from the “Team of Priests in Solidum serving the Gaudium et Specs Family of Parishes,” the team made the decision following concerns “about the long-term operational viability of the school and our ability to provide adequate spiritual care to the community.”

This comes after parents and community members raised more than $430,000 to keep the school operating. The fundraiser exceeded the $150,000 goal; however, the school missed the March 1 enrollment deadline of 150 students. The school enrolled 148 students, two short of the minimum number it agreed to have with the Archdiocese of Detroit.

The Team of Priests says enrollment fees and money donated will be returned.

“I want to take a moment to thank everyone involved in the effort to keep our school open. The support from the community, the prayers, the donations – it’s been incredible and truly humbling to witness. We’ve grown even closer through this experience, and that’s something to hold onto,” principal Mrs. Colleen Maciejewski said in a letter to parents.

  1. Just change the name to St. Clair Shores home away from ” Home school ” .
    The parents raised almost a half a million dollars to keep it going. Let them teach.
    I bet there isn’t a single school system on the shore that could raise that kind of money let alone for a single school. I bet St. Clair Shores is a lot safer school to attend than any school around this area.
