A wonderful sign of hope for New York’s Catholic schools! Thanks for covering this important story about our beleaguered Catholic schools. We need more blogs on the web that track success stories and hope filled stories like this one, when nationally we’ve lost nearly 200 Catholic schools in the 2009-2010 school year and 1,500 Catholic schools since 2000. This is an urgent issue that demands more attention from the Catholic community.
