[StBernard] Archdiocese

[Westley Annis]

Thanks, Westley.  Now that you've said it, that makes sense.  It just sort
of bothers me that due to such a tradgedy, the Archdiocese got what it
wanted in the first place.  It's a shame that parents like me who want their
children in a Catholic school setting don't have any choices.
