Holy Spirit High School Holy Sprit High School Greed in the name of Christianity Absecon New Jersey

 Holy Spirit Catholic High School in Absecon NJ, an insult to the Catholic faith and all good Christian people. This school is a deceptive and usurious institution. Do not fall for their jargon on Christianity, these people may claim the faith but provide not the works. My niece was to attend a Catholic school so she could stay within her faith, away from the growing atheist culture of public schooling. However her family is poor. They began looking into options and went and checked out Holy Spirit High School in Absecon NJ. Her mother took her to the school and she loved it.

She asked how a family like hers could afford it. They were told that there are many scholarships and financial aid options. After hearing that they started to have hope, our mistake. They were told that there was no way around paying the $250.00 fee for the registration. They contacted me and multiple family members, also poor working people, and they were able to get the money after a few weeks for this fee.

They waited to hear of any scholarships and got nothing for months. Instead they got a bill for $8,000 dollars with a $1,000 deduction stating 'financial aid' and not one single scholarship. There was clearly a miscommunication. No poor family could even entertain the idea of coming up with that kind of money. Otherwise, why would a poor family knowingly scrape together $250.00 to pay a registration fee for a school they could never afford. So the family came to the realization that this so called Catholic school is not really for the Catholic kids, at least not the poor ones, it appears it is for the wealthy kids.I'm not even sure if you have to be Catholic, just rich. The next step was to start a GoFundMe account, but to no avail, there was simply not enough money. So they figured this is just the way it is.

They contacted the school and said that there was obviously a huge miscommunication, and due to this they requested the registration fee back, $250.00 they were granted by many family members, including me, who wanted this child to be educated under the tutelage of Catholic doctrine. This was not a case where the family just decided to change schools, or moved, which is why the safety catch of 'NONREFUNDABLE' is there to begin with. But a poor family, misinformed, being denied a sum of money that is substantial to them. They pled their case and were met with all of the compassion and love of a secular, atheist, profiteering, capitalist institution.

On both occasions for a request for return of the fee, they were told, "It is clearly stated in the packet, NONREFUNDABLE"! I am a Catholic, I am a Christian and I am well versed in scripture. The behavior of this school concerning this matter is a smack in the face to all Christians and an example of the infestation of Catholic Institutions by greed and indifference. If you are looking for a place where the Precious Blood of Christ is honored through charity, good will and love, you will not find it at Holy Spirit Catholic High School in Absecon NJ.

This entire episode has been heartbreaking to an innocent child and hurtful to a poor family who only wished to have their child educated according to the Church, the Catechism, and the ways of Christ. I suppose seeing what the real core values of Holy Spirit High School are was a blessing. They may play the part, much like the Pharisees did, but behind closed doors, they worship one thing, the almighty dollar.
