BUFFALO, N.Y. Two of Buffalo s Catholic schools are set to become one.
The Diocese of Buffalo announced Friday that Our Lady of Black Rock and the Catholic Academy of West Buffalo will merge.
The move is aimed at strengthening Catholic education for the nearly 300 students and their families currently served by both schools. Parents will have the option to enroll their children at Catholic Academy for the new school year starting in September.
“We have no more urgent priority than to strengthen Catholic education across our Diocese and ensuring that we are able to provide our young people with every advantage that they require in their formative years, said Bishop Michael Fisher.
