I attendind ND in the early 70"s when it was at 168 W. 79th st. It moved in the 80's first to 104 St. Mark's place, and a few years later to St. Bernards. The nuns sold the brownstones on W.79th and the school would have closed, but the archdiocese gave ND St. Bernard's which had been closed. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503730513129635426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-5461083617867721252017-12-04T13:35:29.928-05:002017-12-04T13:35:29.928-05:00To Anonymous June 13, 2017 at 2:05 AM:

I have fond memories of that school. There were still many nuns ( Sisters of Charity) and they were extremely devoted to the students. The majority of students at that time were Puerto Rican living nearby in Chelsea and the projects over on 9th and 10th avenues. Many of the famileis were working class and some were really struggling. My grandfather actually grew up in the West Village and attended St. Beranrd;s parish thus my connection to the school. I grew up in Midtown. The area at that time unbelievably compared to today was quite rough at times. In fact, it was one of the decisions why my family decided to transfer me out as they figured there would be no way I could travel to school by myself as I was getting older. Today I work nearby and I am always amazed how the area is changed, It is sad the school is no more, the nuns are long gone and the minority community in West Village and Chelsea nearly gone. These were good years I am grateful ( and sad as well) that I was the last generation to experience urabn catholic education Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-28602078881504538562016-03-20T09:44:42.435-04:002016-03-20T09:44:42.435-04:00I also attended St. Bernards elementary school beh...I also attended St. Bernards elementary school behind the church. I also remember Fr. Holland, when he passed away, we all attended his funeral in the church. After the 6th grade, the boys were taught by the Christian Brother, for grades 7 & 8. If you intended on attending Cardinal Hayes, St. Bernard's was also one of the Annexes set aside for Freshman year. I have very good memories attached to my younger years at St. Bernard's. In 1957, we moved to Brooklyn and that basically severed my association with Cardinal Hayes, too hard to travel from Brooklyn to the Bronx.

To accomodate all the incoming freshmen they had annexes throughout Manhattan and the Bronx. St Bernards and Our Lady of Good Counsel on the East Side took the freshmen from Manhattan. St Helena's in the Bronx and of course the main building took the Bronx guys. This situation lasted until the early '60s.

I attended St. Bernard's School on West 13th Street back in the early 1960's. There was another school attached to St. Bernards, an all boys high school if I remember correctly. Does anyone remember the name of that school? I thought it was an annex of Cardinal Hayes, but I'm told I am mistaken about that. If anyone can help me with this I'd really appreciate it. St. Bernard's Church was certainly a beautiful church. We also attended mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe every now and then, my father was an altar boy there back in the 1940's. I was born and raised in the Village, it was such a great neighborhood to be a part of.Ghttp://www.heartbeatdesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-26303268010780305392011-12-12T01:38:11.377-05:002011-12-12T01:38:11.377-05:00found the info! mystery solved!
