Saint Dominic Catholic School parents are protesting the Diocese of Joliet's decision to close the Bolingbrook school.
CREST HILL, Ill. -- Parents in Chicago's southwest suburbs were outraged to learn Saint Dominic Catholic School will close for good in a few weeks.They held a protest Friday in Crest Hill.They want answers and said they will do anything they can to fight to keep it open.
"I mean it just really feels like a betrayal that they would just immediately go to closing and not give us an opportunity to do anything to save the school," parent Melissa Caboth said.The Catholic school in Bolingbrook is closing after more than 50 years at the end of this month. The diocese said it's because of declining enrollment.
Still, parents are hoping they can change the minds of school leaders, saying if they had more time, they could fundraise and save their school.
