Catholic school’s name change marks beginning of a new era
Starting in September, students at Saint Mary Mother of Jesus – Saint Frances Cabrini Academy in Bensonhurst will be attending Saint Peter Catholic Academy, but they won’t have to take a bus or a train to their new school. They won’t have to walk very far to get from the old school to the new. In fact, they won’t have to change their travel routines at all. That’s because they’ll be going to school in the same building where classes are held now.
The name of the school is being changed to Saint Peter Catholic Academy. The new name becomes official on Sept. 1, according to Patricia Carlucci, chairman of the school’s board of directors.
“The main reason we wanted to change the name was to reflect the fact that this is a regional academy,” Carlucci told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
