Diocese of Rockville Centre Announces Morning Star Initiative

As you may have heard, the Diocese of Rockville Centre has decided to launch a bold plan, called the Morning Star Initiative, to revitalize Catholic elementary school education on Long Island.  The goal of this initiative is to restore a robust Catholic culture to the DRVC schools, improve academics, and create a more fiscally sustainable model for schools. The Diocese will partner with the Marianists, who have two centuries of Catholic educational commitment and expertise.  The Diocese has asked Brother Thomas Cleary, S.M., President of Chaminade High School, to serve as the Chief Revitalization Officer and to spearhead this effort.

He will be assisted by his fellow Marianists, who will seek feedback and ideas from the whole spectrum of those with a stake in a revitalized Catholic elementary education, including our parishioners.  We value your input, so please share your thoughts.  Please visit the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s website at morningstarinitiative.org for more information, and email morningstar@drvc.org to give feedback or find out more ways to get involved.

From, Sean P. Dolan, Director of Communications
