On January 20, the Diocese of Camden announced their intention to close three
schools in South Jersey. One of these schools is Notre Dame Regional School in
Landisville and Newfield. Notre Dame's history dates from the early 1950's in
the form of St. Rose of Lima (Newfield) and Our Lady of Victories
(Landisville). The two schools merged in 1994 to form Notre Dame Regional
School. Today, the NDRS student body consists of 267 students from pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade.
The Notre Dame community feels this decision was made based on inaccurate and
incomplete information. The Notre Dame School Board has asked Father
Allain if he would request a meeting between the Board and Bishop Galante and
his advisors so we can correct inaccuracies and perhaps arrive at an alternative
approach that would allow the School to remain open.
We are asking families, alumni, and friends of St. Rose / Our Lady of Victories / Notre Dame Regional
to help our cause by donating to the School. The Diocese has not given us a set
amount that would keep the school open but we feel any improvement will be a positive
sign. In the event we are not successful in keeping Notre Dame open, your
donation will be returned to you less any credit card processing fees. We
will send you an acknowledgement when we receive your donation.
In addition, please remember all of the Catholic schools of the Cumberland
County area in your prayers.
Thank you for caring enough to come to our site. With your help we can
keep...
Notre Dame - Standing Strong!
