The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh begins airing merger plans under the On Mission for the Church Alive initiative. Meetings start this week across 192 parishes in six counties, outlining models and gathering feedback as clergy and laity face shrinking memberships and rising costs. The diocese projects 7,000 to 60,000 members per new parish and aims for one priest per 2,400 people, with recommendations due early 2018.

Fate of Pulaski Elementary School debated at Nov. 21 board meeting
The Wilmington Area School Board will decide whether to keep Pulaski Elementary open for another year at its November 21 session. Residents opposed to closing cite the 1950s district bargain, while officials note potential annual savings of about 502,499 and concerns over bus routes and class sizes. Superintendent Matty will present a closing recommendation, with final vote in March. The district faces a 1.5 million annual deficit amid rising pension costs.
