Firing of gay teachers at Cor Jesu draws outcry

[Sherman A1]

Cor Jesu is located in Afton, MO a South St. Louis Suburb

The termination of two gay faculty members at Cor Jesu, the all girls Catholic high school in the Affton area, has prompted an outcry from alumnae.

In the last several weeks, alumnae have created a private Facebook group with more than 2,000 members in support of Olivia Reichert and Christina Gambaro urging supporters to call and write to Cor Jesu leaders and voice their concerns.

That outcry has led some to vow to no longer financially support Cor Jesu and encourage others to also withhold donations.

Cor Jesu is in the midst of its “One Heart, One Spirit, One Vision” capital campaign for a new chapel, gym, student commons, additional parking and to grow its endowment fund.
