So many Bronx Catholic schools and some Catholic Churches have been closed and sold. My Alma mater Our Lady of Angels School closed. My high school Alma mater St Nicholas of Tolentine closed. Visitation school and church closed and sold. The communities don’t support private schools like they once did. Sign of the times. Our Lady of Refuge school and All Hallows high school will close this coming June. All Hallows was sold for 24 million after 115 years in existence. I had to go to All Hallows on a Saturday morning to take the Catholic High School admissions test.

Sorry to hear OLR will be closing. All my Catholic schools have closed. Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of Refuge were my grammar schools and Tolentine was my high school. Good education in those schools.

St. Simon Stock school on Valentine and 182 closed but Cardinal Hayes HS down da Concourse near da Court House and Yankee Stadium is still going. Some pictures I just saw recently shows that it is as clean and neat and the students are as neat as ever. Regis would be proud.
 
ST LEONARDS HS in BKLYN also long closed.....Franciscan Brothers .....went there in Freshman & Sophomore yrs '58 - '59 / '59- 60.....School was originally in Bed Stuy on Brevoort Place then moved to Cypress & Myrtle ....that bldg after the closure became Bushwick HS Annex.
 
Brooklyn Prep, a Jesuit School, also long closed. Located at Carroll and Nostrand, it became part of Medger Evans College (part of the City University system).

All Hallows Institute was the last of the Irish Christian Brothers schools in New York City. At one time there were four.

Monsignor Farrell on Staten Island was the last to be opened in the 1960s but it has long since given up any affiliation with the Christian Brothers.

All Hallows was the first founded in NYC in Harlem (124th Street?) It later moved over to the Bronx when the current building was constructed.

Power Memorial Academy was the second, initially occupying the same building that all Hallows had vacated. PMA was named for Monsignor James j Power who initially brought that congregation of the Christian Brothers from Ireland to America. It then moved to a former children's hospital on 61st and Amsterdam Avenue, at today's Lincoln Center. I am an alumnus. It closed in the 1980s.

Rice High School then occupied that same building in Harlem, named after Brother Ignatius Rice, the founder of the congregation in Ireland. It closed the 1990s. (There is also a Brother Rice High School in Chicago.)

In addition to providing such great educations those schools gave the city some pretty good high school basketball. New York suffers greatly for the loss of these institutions.

And I attended our Lady of Refuge grammar school, which closed at the beginning of this school year. At one time it's pastor was a bishop.

Times do change.
