I know the Allentown Diocese does not lift a finger to maintain the schools. They also do not help with the cost of the private tuition which has gone up to almost 6k a year in my area. Many kids drop out and go back to the public schools. You would think they would provide some kind of financial help.

May I assume they close schools every year? They do in my area (northern NJ); kind of kills the incentive to financially support your parish. When I was younger, my town had five Catholic grammar schools and a high school; a couple of years ago the last one closed (while the area is still predominantly “Catholic” in name - the “Anglo” Catholics have been replaced by Latino Catholics). At some point they may as well start closing the churches as well.

True here, too. The diocese doesn’t help with the schools or tuition. It is a shame.
