Farewell to the St. Joseph Cathedral School

Students of the former St. Joseph Cathedral School held their last class reunion at the Asylum Avenue building on Sunday, the Hartford Courant reports. The school, which in its heyday in the 1950s and `60s had more than 1,000 students through the 10th grade, closed in 2001 because of declining enrollment and increased costs. It will be converted into 28 two- and three-bedroom apartments for poor families, according to the newspaper.
