Fight to save Blessed Sacrament School continues
The fight to save a local catholic school continued, with concerned families taking the battle countries away.
In February, the Erie Catholic School System announced that Blessed Sacrament School would be shutting down after a continuous decline in enrollment.

Since then, concerned parents haven't been able to secure the bishop's blessing to give the school back to the parish, but that hasn't stopped them from finding other ways to push back.
Now they're taking the fight to the Vatican, with parents sending a letter to the Catholic headquarters stating their case.

'There's no question. We're definitely confident in this fight. We love our children. We don't want to see them get ripped away from their home. Blessed sacrament is different from a lot of schools,' said William Grenaway, a concerned parent.
Grenaway said they still have many questions left unanswered by the Catholic School System.
