Strengthen & Sustain Catholic Education in the York Deanery

Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions on the proposal to Strengthen & Sustain Catholic Education in the York Deanery. We heard you and we want to help support you and our schools.  The SASCE Committee is going to re-group and evaluate the options based on your suggestions. To give proper time to process the feedback and revise the proposal, we will not be submitting a recommendation to the Diocese for consideration for the 2019-20 school year. Please continue to support your schools and the Catholic community as together we work to strengthen and sustain Catholic education in the York Deanery.

October 2017 - School Study Update

We are pleased to report the School Study Committee to Strengthen and Sustain Catholic Education in the York Deanery has completed the data gathering and interview stages and has moved into the analysis stage of its study.

All pastors and principals participated in individual interviews and each parish provided statistical data showing trends over the past 10-20 years.  Parish members and school families were invited to participate in our School Study survey and we received four times the amount of responses expected.  This collection amounted to over 150 pages of data to review.  Thank you for your input!  It will prove invaluable as we begin our analysis stage.

We will update you with our findings and recommendations when the committee completes its analysis. Your support throughout this process has been a blessing to the volunteers who are working toward Strengthening & Sustaining Catholic Education in the York Deanery.

Thank you.
