The Issue

Damian and Kristin Fritz have devoted their lives to Marian Catholic High School, not only as coaches but as pillars of our community. Their contributions have gone far beyond the fields and courts, shaping young minds and supporting countless students with their positive and nurturing approach. The Fritz family legacy at Marian is being unjustly tarnished by their recent terminations. These allegations lack transparency and due process, stripping an amazing family of their right to defend against these nonsensical claims.

Damian and Kristin have deep roots in our Catholic community, known across Tamaqua, PA, for their unwavering dedication to our youth and their participation in fostering a supportive and loving environment at Marian Catholic High School. The decision to dismiss them overlooks their integral role in our school's history and spirit, and it deeply impacts not only their family but the students who have thrived under their mentorship.

Firing people of their character and standing creates a vacuum that cannot be easily filled. They have been symbols of integrity and love, embodying the Marian values we cherish so dearly. Removing them disrupts the positive dynamics within the school, potentially harming the student body's morale and faith in leadership.

We urge the Allentown Diocese to reconsider their decision. Transparency and fairness in handling such critical matters should be paramount, lest we lose the trust of those who have dedicated their lives to this community. Damian and Kristin Fritz should be given the chance to clear their names and continue their extraordinary work at Marian Catholic High School.

Please sign this petition to call on the Allentown Diocese to reverse their decision and to restore justice for Coaches Fritz, supporting their family and our community at Marian. Let's ensure that fairness, transparency, and devotion are the values that guide our institutions. Together, we can make a difference. Sign the petition to make your voice heard!
