An email from licatholic.org explains that the diocese will close two elementary schools in June, due to low enrollment: All Saints at St. Patrick's, Glen Cove, and St. Joseph School, Ronkonkoma. All Saints is a regional school sponsored by five parishes: St. Patrick, St. Rocco, St. Hyacinth, St. Boniface Martyr, and St. Mary (Roslyn). At All Saints, the current enrollment in K-8 is 132 students, plus eleven more in Nursery level. Two different websites provide more information, drvcschools.org and drvcschools.com

The Long Island Catholic weekly newspaper once printed an informative grade-by-grade chart of the enrollment in the Catholic elementary schools of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. If my memory is correct, this was done during the editorship of Msgr. Paul McKeever, 1967-1975. As we approach Catholic Schools week, publishing a similar chart on a drvcschools website org would likewise inform the Catholic population.

St. Rocco, Glen Cove
The church of St. Rocco stands on the south side of Third Street, Glen Cove, east of Cedar Swamp Road. The address of the parish office is 18 Third Street, Glen Cove, New York 11542, telephone 718-676-2482. The parish website, linked here, provides schedules, history, photos, and much more of interest.
The image of Jesus as a Good Shepherd dates from the early Roman church, centuries before there were images of the crucified Jesus.
St. Rocco is shown in this bas-relief. Please note that he was born in France.

Five Catholic parishes sponsor All Saints Regional Catholic School, about a half-mile north of St. Rocco's church.
