http://www.silive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/01/will_more_catholic_schools_be.html

"The Archdiocese of New York isn't exactly known for transparency in the way it runs Catholic schools on Staten Island and elsewhere. Going into 2015, the outlook is typically murky.

It's uncertain at this point whether the archdiocese is prepared to close up to 20 schools in its system over the next two years based on the outcome of contract negotiations with lay teachers, but the archdiocese is putting that possibility out there."

"The School Sisters of Notre Dame have been selected as recipients of the 2015 Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools (QCES) Foundation’s Friend of Catholic Education Award in recognition of their years of service to both Catholic elementary and secondary education in Quincy.  Established in 2009, the award recognizes an individual, couple or organization whose contributions have significantly fostered and strengthened Catholic schools in the Quincy community.  

The School Sisters of Notre Dame have had a continuous presence in Quincy  since November 1, 1895, when Mother Caroline Friess, a School Sister of Notre Dame and anative of Bavaria, arrived in Quincy via steamboat, to survey the possibility of educating the children of German immigrants.  Moved by their desire to educate their children, Mother Caroline sent for more School Sisters of Notre Dame to teach the children of these German immigrants.  Within a few weeks, a school/convent was ready for the sisters, and on Dec. 27, 1859, three additional sisters arrived in Quincy to begin teaching at the newly established St. Boniface School, which had an enrollment of 400 students.  The School Sisters of Notre Dame would go on to teach at St. Boniface School for the next 119 years."
