Last week's East Boston Times reported that a number of parents of St. Mary's Star of the Sea students are justifiably upset after pouring time and money into the school -- including renovating the old convent -- only to have the archdiocese shut the school down.
I was told, by a person familiar with the situation, that representatives from the archdiocese walked in and pretty much relieved the principal, Joan Lawrence, of her command not long before the announcement was made that the school would close in June. It seems that the powers that be were afraid that Lawrence might lead some type of protest action, which Church leaders would like to avoid.
I am not personally aware of the details myself, but that is the story I heard.
