Catholic parents in the city are ready to fight for their school. St. Angela in the northeast has been targeted for closure by the Catholic School Board because of low enrollments.

The school only has 103 students, but parents say they like the intimate environment at the school and have launched a campaign to save it.

One parent tells the Calgary Herald closing the school will rip the heart out of their community. Parents also say they may leave the school district altogether if their school is shut down.
