Catholic schools have faced tough times for years in the U.S., but closures are accelerating amid economic fallout from the coronavirus. The National Catholic Educational Association says about 100 schools have announced that they won’t reopen this fall.
A cross sits in the window of an empty classroom at Quigley Catholic High School in Baden, Pa., Monday, June 8, 2020. Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik recently announced the school's closure, saying the decision was based on declining enrollment, unsustainable cost projections and insufficient funds to assure its long-term viability.
Closures in New Jersey include Hammonton’s St. Joseph High School, which has won more than 20 state football championships, and Cristo Rey high school in Newark, which was highly praised for its work helping students from low-income families go to college. Founded in 2007, Cristo Rey says every one of its graduates from the last 10 years had been accepted at colleges.
Another factor: Spring is the prime season for school fundraisers, and many of those events had to be canceled. In Baltimore, the May 5 announcement about the Institute of Notre Dame came without warning, angering students, parents and alumni, and forcing the 161 freshmen, sophomores and juniors currently enrolled to scramble to find spots elsewhere.
