But now the archdiocese is confirming that the announcement has been delayed.

Officials at Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast high schools said they learned late Thursday night that the decision would be postponed until next week.

Apparently the archdiocese has just received some new financial information, so they wanted to reevaluate and wait a little longer to make the decision.

Originally, students and staff at the school thought they were going to hear a decision by this morning.

At least four elementary schools will remain open.

Holy Trinity Catholic elementary school in Morrisville, Pa., posted a breaking news notice on its Website, saying it will stay open.

Holy Trinity was set to merge with St. John the Evangelist, Lower Makefield, at the Lower Makefield site.

St. Ephrem's in Bensalem also said on its Facebook page that it won its appeal and won't merge with St. Mark's.

Fox 29 then confirmed late on Thursday afternoon that St. Laurentius in Fishtown and St. Francis in Aston, Pa., will stay open.
