PHILADELPHIA - Masks will be required for Archdiocese of Philadelphia students and staff this upcoming school year.
For years, many Catholic schools in Philadelphia struggled with enrollment. Then something surprising happened when COVID hit, interest in enrollment for schools like our Mother of Consolation Parish School actually went up because many Catholic schools never switched to remote learning."Parents are interested because we are in person five days a week.
Their children having to sit in zoom for an entire year was really difficult for the children," school principal Patricia Sheetz said.
That’s especially true for students like 8th grader London Cooks. She says her mom brought her here as a new student just so she can have.
