Eleven Catholic Schools Proposed to Close After 2008-2009 School Year

Upon recently hearing that S.B.J.L. will soon be closing,I went to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn website for verification.Sadly enough it is true and S.B.J.L.is one of eleven schools proposed to close at the end of the 2008-2009 school year.The eleven schools recommended for closure are: Flatbush Catholic Academy (Bk), St. Vincent Ferrer (Bk), Most Precious Blood (Bk), St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (Bk), Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Bk), Our Lady of Angels (Bk), St. Anthony of Padua (Qns), St. Benedict Joseph Labre (Qns), St. Catherine of Sienna (Qns), St. Aloysius (Qns) and Blessed Sacrament (Qns).It appears that the changing demographic trend along with a struggling economy is now finally impacting the R.C. Church and it's community.
