The sentiment at Holy Marty's last night was palpable.  Students, teachers, parents and alumni gathered last night to celebrate 55 years of Holy Marty's School and to say goodbye as it will close its doors this June.  Memories were shared, tears were shed and parents reminisced about the good times shared and the loss they will feel come next year.  But, it was clear that this close knit community will keep the parish going strong through the efforts of Colleen Kriz and her group of dedicated moms and grand moms.  The parishioners are dedicated to keeping Holy Martys the HUB of this special Oreland community.
