2 thoughts on “Namesake church in Holy Cross neighborhood looks for a savior

  1. This inadvertently highlights a larger problem, despite positive press about revitalizing neighborhoods – a lot of the new residents don’t have kids or leave when they do. Catholic churches in areas with lots of families still are hanging in there, as are the associated schools, which provide a high quality education for a reasonable price. Perhaps the building could be lightly adapted for use as a preschool/daycare?

    1. Good suggestion–it’s definitely one that takes into account the fine-grained demographic considerations of the area. The question is: does the build-it-and-they-will-come mentality really work in this context? That is, are people who move to Holy Cross w/o kids (or are leaving when they do have kids) doing so because of the lack of good childcare/pre-K educational infrastructure? Or is there an absence of such infrastructure because there’s simply not a big enough base to support it? It’s probably some of both, but it’s unlikely that a private entity is going to run the risk of building a good daycare enterprise if there’s questionable evidence that enough children live nearby to keep it operational.
