Urge the school to put the statues back.

Here are the facts:

Fact #1: Statues of God's saints removed: Officials at San Domenico School decided to remove at least 6 Catholic statues to make the campus more "welcoming" to non-Catholics. A beloved statue of Mary with the Baby Jesus was among the statues carted away by the oldest Catholic school in California. (08-29-17: Catholic News Agency)

Fact #2: Catholic identity harmed: Parents are upset to see San Domenico let go of its 167-year Catholic identity. "...the word ‘Catholic’ has been removed from the mission statement, sacraments were removed from the curriculum," said Shannon Fitzpatrick, a parent whose son attends the school.

Fact #3: No more Catechism: With more than 600 students, San Domenico stopped offering Catechism classes. Children are no longer prepared to receive their First Holy Communion. “We had very few families interested. I think last year it was fewer than five," said Cecily Stock, Head of School. (Marin Independent Journal)

Under the pretext of making everyone feel welcome and included, the Catholic Faith is slowly sidelined and excluded. Beautiful Catholic statues are locked up.

God bless you.
