St. John the Baptist, Hart Street near Lewis Avenue

I have yet to walk around the blocks where St. John's University and St. John's Prep began along both sides of Lewis Avenue. The large church of St. John the Baptist is to the east of Lewis Avenue. The neighboring parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel on Putnam Avenue has been merged into the parish of St. John the Baptist, one pastor covering worship at both churches. Two parish offices remain. Corrections and explanations are welcome.

The website of the two parishes is linked here. The rectory address is 333 Hart Street, Brooklyn NY 11206, telephone 718-455-6864.

Decrees about charter schools

Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio has issued two decrees recently regarding charter schools in parish buildings. I provide links to the decrees so the reader will examen the decree rather than just accept my summary. In a decree dated 11.18.2011, the Bishops reminds all that a parish which has rented space to a charter school must share 40% of the rental income with other parishes whose schools have been adversely affected by the establishment of that charter school.

Also, there are four pages of revisions to guidelines of how rented property may or may not be used. These five pages are dated 11.17.2011.
