So of course that is going to filter down and non-catholic values will eventually be pushed.

Travel not an issue anymore because most of the kids driven to school these days. CK should build a senior housing complex on the playground and restricted to<br />Vicariate parishoners. Rental income profits distributed fairly. Also, all the parishes should write letters and fight for a middle and lower income tax credits for parochial/private school families.The key to the 19th ward's survival is in the private schools. We are the only ward that has several elementary, 3 Catholic High Schools and a Catholic University. St. Xavier's needs to reflect it's Mercy order,Catholic identity in a more robust manner. Last time I was there It seemed like public university.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499014970840083879.post-18507696478819121102017-03-13T07:08:04.112-05:002017-03-13T07:08:04.112-05:00MONEY WILL NOT CURE THIS PROBLEMMONEY WILL NOT CURE THIS PROBLEMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499014970840083879.post-81235019966684245172017-03-13T07:06:04.676-05:002017-03-13T07:06:04.676-05:00There's still a strong financial base in Chris...There's still a strong financial base in Christ the King that would delay a closing.

That's why they call the "Chreasters". That's why you can get a seat in church on Easter or Christmas since the holiday schedule reflects the Sunday schedule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
