St. Bernard School is closing its doors at the end of the school year. Bishop Lawrence Persico of the Erie Diocese and Rev Ray Gramata of St. Bernard’s Church made the announcement Tuesday night citing financial difficulties and a dwindling population. Father Gramata, Principal Linda Cecchetti and ad hoc committee member Ron Orris met with teachers, staff and families Tuesday afternoon to deliver the news. Enrollment at St. Bernards is at 52 students.
