By 1949 the United States Province numbered 245 professed mem- bers, 15 novices, and 60 postulants. The Brothers staffed 16 schools and two houses of formation in the United States. In addition, 14 Brothers taught in four schools in East Africa. In 1946, the Brothers purchased a tract of land in Jackson Heights, New York, with the hopes of eventually starting a high school. In the 1950s, the American Province experienced what has been referred to as “the Golden Age of the Institute in the United States.” It was an era of unparalleled growth in regards to both the number of Brothers and in the number of new foundations, especially schools. In 1954, construction began on a high school in Queens, NY. Msgr. McClancy High School, named after the former Brooklyn Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, opened its doors in 1956.
