Seton Catholic High School - Pittston, PA
Well, last night we learned that - until late January - Holy Rosary will be moved to Seton Catholic High School in Pittston! Why are we so excited? We are sad that Holy Rosary has such woes - we LOVE that school. But to think that the children there who wanted to attend Seton will now realize their dream in a small way - well! What can we say? Have a great time, kids, at Seton Catholic in Pittston!
As most know, we all lost the battle to keep our very much loved and NEEDED Catholic high school in Pittston opened. However, the Seton Catholic High School building, which the Diocese of Scranton reportedly planned to turn into yet another real estate investment, will remain as a haven for our children's religious education in the evening and on weekends. This is because our longtime and very hardworking pastor, Monsignor Bendik, strongly recommended keeping the building for our children. Who knows what will happen if and when Msgr. ever leaves us for another assignment.
The "game plan" was to turn the Seton Catholic High School building into another elderly apartment building like the mysterious Lincoln Heights Apartments in Pittston, which are right up the street from Seton Catholic's building. We say "mysterious" because NO one seems to know the real names behind the corporate ownership of this building.

A tailgate party planned since March to ease the pain of separation and celebrate friendship...
A party planned since by the class of 2008 for the last day of school was nixed by two school officials. The press had begun to gather at Seton Catholic, and the students were herded back into the school. If given permission, I will print more on this page...here is part of what we were told by a student...
"Our class was outraged that people would do such a thing to our class on the last day ever. _______ and ________(two students were kicked out and allowed back in) in the end, were allowed back in the school. After our prayer service, we all gathered around for one final time, and said the "Our Father." After that, we all had our final farewells. I said good bye to my class for the last time, and we all parted back to the gym. When we got back to the gym, we were ordered to leave the proprerty. So we did, and we continued our party at our classmate's house, which lasted all night. "
