  Cardinal Hayes High School
The history of Cardinal Hayes Memorial High School for Boys might be said to begin on May 23, 1939, for on that day Pope Pius XII appointed Bishop Francis Spellman of Boston to be the sixth Archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York.
Cardinal Spellman had a dream and a vision - a dream that a fine, well-equipped, religiously sound school could be built in a brief time to educate the young men of the Bronx and Manhattan and other nearby areas - that dream came true in less than two years.
Hayes was established to provide that dream and vision of Cardinal Spellman: a quality education in academics and Catholic values to young men of middle class families who could not afford the then existing private schools.

The cardinals are the ones who are chosen by the Holy Father to be part of the College of Cardinals, which is a large group of advisors to the pope himself and when the See of Peter becomes vacant — the pope dies — then it is their responsibility to choose a new pope.
Cardinal O’Malley: It is very, very important because the new evangelization is directed not just to the mission “ad gentes,” the foreign mission, but to our own supposedly Christian societies where many people have received the sacraments and yet are not truly on fire with their faith.
Cardinal O’Malley: The new movements and ecclesial communities have already had a big impact in the life of the Church, because at one level they allow people to experience the Church as a community, not to be so anonymous in the big Mass, of parishioners where they perhaps do not know each other.

With regard to important policies and decisions that impact upon the welfare of the Archdiocese, it is evident that the Cardinal does not seek advice or counsel from the many competent and experienced priests who so faithfully serve as pastors and members of his chancery staff.

Sadly, it is evident that this Cardinal is unable to deal with the complexities, problems and challenges of an Archdiocese of the magnitude and diversity of New York.
