Thank-you for additional insight.
You’re welcome, and thank you for sharing the hopeful story from your area. It is distressing here in NJ to watch not just the parish network, but the whole educational and healthcare system Catholics built over more than a century be dismantled.
My town had five Catholic elementary schools and one Catholic high school when I was born (nearly fifty years ago); today all are closed (though there is still a sizable Catholic population here). The public school taxes are so high few can afford Catholic school tuition on top of them, and the Catholic leaders here won’t fight for vouchers that may help us Catholic taxpayers use their school system.
