Standing Up for Mr. Boniti

I attended St. Joseph and my children have attended St. Joseph. Mr. Boniti has been more than a Principal, Teacher and Coach to me and my family. He has been a great friend and mentor. I attribute my success in life to him. He lead by example. He provided great advice to me as a student and as a adult.

My family abaolutely loves Mr. Boniti. He has done SO much for us. Because of him, my kids have thrived in school. He is always so caring and does an excellent job at leadership. This is heartbreaking to hear that he will not be returning. HE is the best and we came to St. Joe's because we were so impressed with his compassion. This is a mistake and one that will be regretted once everything starts to fall apart from his absence. Why in the world would you take away a job from someone who clearly knows how to keep a school as a family?! :( I am scared to think what this could mean for the future of St. Joe's.

For all the 'Anonymous' people below , guessing you weren't taught that 'If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". Should never kick anyone when they are down ... It's people like YOU that needed good influence in your lives like Mr. Al Boniti. Keep your head up Mr. Boniti , you have so many supporters out here! You've touched so many lives throughout all the years and are an amazing man!

Does anyone know what happened? Mr. Boniti was fantastic when my son started 3rd grade last year! Nothing but great things to say about him.

Al and Patty Boniti were apart of my faith and education growing up , attending St. Joseph school , they are such kind and amazing people ,please sign this petition with me! We are here for you Al and Patty!

What they are doing to this Fine Man is Unreal !!!

Shame on the powers to be to treat this man this way. Where is the respect ?

My husband and I have three daughters they all went St Joseph school . We all love and respect Al Boniti . I have many wonderful memories of the years our children were in school there . It would be a shame to replace this wonderful man and educator .

Taught and coached me at St Joes - he's a good man

just read a facebook post local priest decides who is not renewed. bull crap. you always get your orders from the top1 is this bishop an idiot or what. none give envelop[es for a month guarantee results! we can say priest told us to do it!

Could it be that it's time to remove our bishop after all he's not an educator . He certainly is not a leader cause a leader recognizes talent! Loves to cause chaos at every turn. Doesn't like successful people cause it makes him look bad. Bishop Donahue closed . Sacred heart school closed . St Francis moundsville closed. Maybe he was involved in sears and now Macy's closing. He's good at this stuff. Peace!

First, I want to say thank you to Mr. Boniti for all he has done for my daughter. I will be forever grateful to him and his excellent staff. I guess I understand that the diocese wants someone that has a great love of their faith, their church, their family, St. Joseph School, Madonna High School and the Weirton community. What I don't understand is why would you look elsewhere when you already have that man at St. Joseph School?!? His name is Al Boniti!

Great man, always treated everybody with respect. Gave his heart and soul to the school. Hooefully they turn this around.

Good man

Disgraceful. Just another shining example of the church's internal politics at work

Respect the wisdom that comes with experience and age.

Bishop. We have such a large project up here and you sent us such a small person! People quit sendin there kids cause of people like you. I'm glad ya ain't a coach we wouldn't win a game.

Why?

Amazing principal and person!!!!!

Stick to mcmechen bishop nothing needs fixed up here. You already balled up Central coach affair. You think after diggin that hole you would put shovel down!
