Local Day Care Is Closing at the End of the Month
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Shreveport has announced that the St. Pius Child Development Center on North Market Street will be closing October 28th. Father Joe Kallookalam, the Pastor in charge of the center says maintenance issues in the the building are too much to overcome.
Many parishioners who send their children to the center think the community could band together to cover repair costs but Father Joe says its just not possible with estimated repair costs well over $200,000.
