 Thursday, March 8, 2007 St. Mary's plans future after Caritas  St. May's Women and Infants Center on Jones Hill- the city's largest shelter for homeless families and a key service provider for pregnant teens and new moms and their infants- will not be part of the imminent sale of the Caritas Christi Health system, of which they are now a member. The organization is making plans to go independent, while maintaining its historic ties with the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Plus: Advocates push for oversight role in Caritas Carney sale Residents see light at Freeport free-for-all A city initiative to improve traffic and safety along Dorchester Avenue is taking on one of the city's most notorious trouble-spots: the intersection of Dot Ave. and Freeport St., among others. Emerging civic groups give window onto activism Spurred on by quality of life needs in their immediate area, resident activists in several sections of Dorchester are adding new blood to an already crowded field of civic associations in Dorchester. The Reporter focuses on three emerging groups in Codman Square, Bowdoin-Geneva and Fields Corner. Meeting reflects anxieties over Catholic schools' fate The first neighborhood meeting to discuss the coming consolidation of Dorchester's Catholic grammar schools was heavy on questions from concerned parents, but short on answers from the Archdiocese. Outreach goal: Re-connect with high school dropouts The city's troubling dropout rate among local teens is being met head-on by a new effort to reach out to former students. The feedback from drop-outs- along with recent successes at one Dorchester school- suggest that there may be innovative ways to lower the dropout rate. Fire
