SAVED! ~ Wildwood Catholic Academy to OPEN for the 2020-21 school year


The campaign to “Save Wildwood Catholic” has succeeded!

The good news was announced this afternoon by Notre Dame de la Mer Parish, which shared a recent letter from Bishop Dennis Sullivan of the Camden Diocese to Rev. Joseph Wallace, president of Wildwood Catholic High School.

In the letter, Sullivan praised and outlined the “impressive efforts” made to support the initiative after the announced closings of Wildwood Catholic and Cape Trinity Catholic back in April.

The newly-branded Wildwood Catholic Academy, now a Pre-K-12 institution, will open this fall and operate out of the current, longstanding school building at 1500 Central Avenue in North Wildwood. 

Sullivan further noted the substantial fundraising effort of the campaign - in excess of $1 million cash-in-hand - and struck a positive, hopeful tone with regard to the academy’s long-term success.

“We are incredibly grateful to the families, friends and organizers of the Save Wildwood Catholic campaign,” said WCA administrator Kevin Quinn. “The organizers, the business and organizations, everyone who came together and contributed to this cause. 

“Because of your spirit and generosity, Wildwood Catholic Academy has become a reality and will open this coming school year, allowing us to continue our mission of providing Catholic education to the children of this region.”

More to come…
