For almost a century, Sisters of St. Joseph staffed this parish school, and the Xaverian Brothers taught her for several decades. An excellent guide titled "Weekend Walks in Brooklyn" was authored by Robert J. Regalbuto, who graduated from this school in 1964. He says the school was built in 1923 and the Gothic Revival church dates to 1878.

The three organizations with offices in the former convent apparently deal with diocesan finances. The name "Rocklyn" hints at a joint venture with the diocese of Rockville Centre, but the few notices I have come across are in Brooklyn. There are also diocesan corporations named Rocklyn Properties and Rocklyn Ecclesiastica. Futures in Education is linked here. It seems to work with the Catholic Foundation for Brooklyn and Queens, but both seem to raise funds for diocesan operations. Futures in Education submitted an IRS form 990 in 2011 showing a balance of $5.8 million.
On 11.30.2011, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio decreed the establishment of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy next September in the building currently used by Holy Name of Jesus School at 241Prospect Park West, Brooklyn NY 11215. Merged into this new academy will be Immaculate Heart of Mary School, Kensington, and Holy Name.

In January, 2012, the Holy Name school website is linked here. I do not know whether it will be replaced by a website for the renamed school.
