Many aspects under review

In East Greenbush/Rensselaer, committees are looking at finances, demographics and marketing, and physical resources. Enrollment in the three schools -- Holy Spirit, St. Mary's and St. Joseph/John's -- is up from 569 in 1991/92 to 621 this year.

The process began in this part of the Diocese because Holy Spirit School in East Greenbush has serious space needs. Its enrollment in 1991/92 was 156; this year, its at 244.

"Our enrollment is mushrooming so," said Sister Maureen Moffitt, CSJ, principal and convener of the physical resources committee. The planning process was a good thing for the schools of this area, she added.

"The process is positive," she said. "I've gotten to know people of other parishes and have been impressed by the dedication to Catholic education."

These committees will continue to meet during the summer. They will present initial proposals in September, with revisions done in October and final recommendations made to Bishop Howard J. Hubbard in November. Open meetings will also be held. (MM)
