Pittsburgh Diocese Separately Incorporates Its High Schools

Last week's Pittsburgh (PA) Catholic reports on the restructuring of the legal organization of eight Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Each school will be separately incorporated as a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation. Currently 7 of the schools are operated directly by the diocese and one is operated by a parish under diocesan auspices. the reorganization occurs in the wake of legal battles elsewhere over whether parochial school assets are available to satisfy claims of diocesan creditors.
