Unfortunately, that's not the case in the Philadelphia Archdiocese!  Only the poor, inner-city schools have closed; the wealthy, upper-class, white parishes are all building bigger churches and big schools.  If we would follow the lead of the other large denominations (Jewish, mainstream Protestant) and put our money into high-quality children and youth programming instead of spending it on big school buildings and full-time teachers, we would have the kind of unity in our parishes that we have never known here in the Philly burbs!
