	Archdiocese Unresponsive to Concerns over Priest Transfers By Brian and Patricia Ledley Journal News May 29, 2008 http://www.bishop-accountability.org/blog/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&blog_id=1 As religion writer Gary Stern reported last week, the sudden reassignment of dozens of Catholic priests across the Archdiocese of New York has caused much consternaton among both priests and parishioners, with some questioning why the moves were made. A letter from a Brewster couple, sent to Cardinal Edward Egan, captures some of the anxiety and disappointment. The community of Kennedy Catholic High School was stunned by Father Stephen Norton's announcement that he has been transferred. We are saddened, angry, worried for our future and overall just befuddled by the move. As you well know he has boosted enrollment by over 30 percent in his five years, dramatically increased the availability of technology to the student body and created a connection with the alumni that has begun to blossom. Last year's President's Dinner was the largest ever, with over 270 people in attendance. We as parents need you to visit us at Kennedy to answer the following question: Why move him now?
