In an announcement made on Monday night, two strong and successful Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Trenton will combine their resourced and efforts to become a newly-established Catholic Academy that will open its doors in September, 2019.
St. Aloysius School in Jackson and St. Veronica School in Howell will undergo a merger at the end of this school year, transitioning into Mother Seton Academy, according to the pastors of the two sponsoring parishes.
Father John Bambrick, pastor of St. Aloysius Parish, and Father Vincent Euk, pastor of St. Veronica Parish, announced the decision Jan. 7 in a joint meeting with parents from the two schools.
With a current, combined Pre-K through 8
th grade enrollment of more than 350 students, the merger will result in a single new school sponsored by both parishes with a new name, new administration, new teaching staff and new mission.
Mother Seton Academy will be established on the campus of what is currently St. Veronica School in Howell with the continued presence and involvement of the Sisters of the Resurrection, who have served in St. Veronica School for 53 years. Mother Seton Academy will be seeking current teachers from both schools to be part of this new venture.
