Description
Summary:By analyzing the motives and philosophies of major figures in the Diocese of Brooklyn and the City of New York, this essay shows that strategy and careful planning were central components of the development of the parochial school system in the diocese. These visionaries, mostly clerics but also a prominent civil servant, understood long before the growth of suburbia that Catholic education and infrastructure were on parallel tracks. In 1920, Catholic education was centered in Brooklyn with a small representation in Queens; by 1960, a comprehensive and coherent system of schools were established across Long Island. This essay also argues that growth and success was predicated on decisive actions by forward-looking and insightful individuals in the first half of the twentieth century.
