"CANTON - “We don't know what to do.  This is where we wanted to send our daughter,” said Josette Brooks crying at a vigil held at St. Joseph Catholic School in Canton Wednesday night.
The vigil was held as a peaceful protest to the changes announced by the Diocese of Youngstown late Tuesday.


Those changes involve several Catholic schools across Stark County but in Canton, these changes mean the closure of St. Joseph, a school that’s been around since 1902.
At the vigil, parents told stories of how their parents and grandparents attended the school.
Allison Gardner, a former student said, “Here it's more like a family and everybody cares about each other here.”


Losing the school’s community is what parents and students said they are most upset about.
Members of the Diocese said reasons for St. Joseph’s closure include population changes and less kids sitting at their desks."
