Statement from Father Jeff Kegley, Saint Mary Parish Pastor:
Since Mater Dei Prep announced its closing in May 2022, Saint Mary Parish and the Diocese of Trenton have received inquiries from private developers and organizations about the purchase of Mater Dei for a variety of redevelopment projects. Recently, preliminary conversations also began with Middletown Township to discuss the possibility of the municipality purchasing the Mater Dei property for township recreational facilities. All offers to lease or sell the Mater Dei property are being reviewed and considered by the parish financial council; however, no long-term decision has been made. In the short term, Saint Mary Parish has signed a four-month lease of Mater Dei with Paramount Pictures Corporation to film a musical at the school beginning in January 2023.
