Catholic Courier: Community Bids Farewell to St. Boniface School

The Catholic Courier carries a story on the closing of St. Boniface School.

For many alumni, St. Boniface School is much more than just a building in which they learned about reading, writing and arithmetic. It was a place where they felt loved and accepted; a place that prepared them for the rest of their lives; a place they could call home.

"It's still home," alumna Marilyn Krepps told the Catholic Courier June 8.

Krepps, who graduated from the school in 1954, had gathered at St. Boniface Church with other alumni and current students, faculty and parents for the school's closing Mass. They tried to focus on the good that came from St. Boniface's 147 years of operation rather than dwell on their sorrow that the school -- along with 12 other diocesan schools in Monroe County -- will close at month's end.
