Saving a Beloved Landmark

One of the area’s most beloved schools, Our Lady of Fatima in Warren, is unfortunately facing a plan for closing in June upon the end of this academic year due to financial problems and low enrollment. The private, Catholic, co-educational high school, directed by the Sisters of St. Dorothy, has been in operation for 47 years. Families of students who attend Fatima received letters in February telling them of the impending closing. Parents, students and alumni immediately responded with a fight protesting the awful news and are still currently trying to do everything they can to save the school. Many of the 50 students enrolled this year travel from around the state and think of Fatima as not just a place to learn, but a place to be surrounded by family as well. As the school and community continue to work to reverse this decision, we hope that all the members of the Our Lady of Fatima family receive the miracle that they all are hoping for.
