The assertion that the Norbertines wanted to turn the school into a monastery in 2001 is utterly misleading. The "Patio" (the original Raskob house) had long been a Norbertine priory, providing housing for the Norbertines who taught at the school. The priory was subordinate to Daylesford Abbey in Paoli, PA. The Patio had also been regularly made available to the academy for school functions. When the Norbertines made a move to establish the Immaculate Conception Priory at Archmere as an independent priory, separate from Daylesford, a dispute rose up among them regarding the Norbertines who still belonged to Daylesford Abbey, rather than the newly independent priory, yet who still taught at the academy. The prior of the new priory, John Kelly, and the former abbot of Daylesford, John Logan, rather ham-handedly dismissed the tremendously popular Fr. Timothy Mullen, headmaster of Archmere Academy and Fr. Michael Collins, dean of student life, along with two other school administrators who supported them. Here's an article about the dismissals. This occurred at the same time that the someone in the new priory suggested that the use of "The Patio" by the school might be more restricted in the future. This double-blow to the community led to great upheaval. Since Norbertines aren't monks, there was no plan to create a monastery. Since the Raskob house was already a priory, there wasn't much of a change there, either. It was the combination of dismissals and a change in policy about The Patio usage that created the uproar.
