In 1996 Sacred Heart School closed and our school site became part of the new St. Martin de Porres school, a multi parish school. For over 20 years St. Martin de Porres has served our community, both parish and the wider neighborhood. In recent years the enrollment has dropped and expenses have risen. At this time the diocese of Oakland can no longer give finances to our school, therefore, the bishop has decided that St. Martin de Porres is one of five elementary schools that the diocese has decided to close as of the end of this school year. The diocese and the staffs of these school will work hard to find places for our students in other Catholic school. At this time of transition please pray for the gift of discernment by everyone concerned.
