Catholic schools in Los Angeles take in displaced students, families
In the wake of devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, Catholic schools have stepped up to support students and families affected by the destruction, according to a Feb. 13 report from Angelus News.
The Department of Catholic Schools (DCS) reported that the fires have displaced 915 students across 76 schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
As families grapple with uncertainty, Catholic schools have opened their doors to welcome displaced students. Students have temporarily relocated to schools such as American Martyrs in Manhattan Beach, St. Martin of Tours in Brentwood, and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Pasadena.
