The Archdiocese of Santa Fe has announced the closure of two Catholic schools. The schools are closing due to declining enrollment and financial challenges. This decision reflects a growing concern within the Catholic community, as seen in the closures of Queen of Heaven in 2019 and Our Lady of Fatima in 2024, both of which cited a decline in enrollment.
A Call to Action
New Santa Fe Catholic Schools Superintendent Randall Peters called on the Catholic community to increase participation, stating that “Catholic education cannot exist on tradition alone. It requires committed families, strong parish partnerships, and generous supporters who believe in its mission.” For more information about Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, visit asfcatholicschools.org or contact the Archdiocese of Santa Fe Office of Catholic Schools.
