THE RISE & FALL OF THE MINIMS
They only lasted about eight years, but the 115-pound class Lady of Good Counsel Minims were as good as any Catholic midget basketball team in Stuyvesant Heights on the court. Fed by the Catholic families of the eastern section of Stuyvesant Heights and parts of Bushwick, the Minim team played its collective heart out from 1911-1919. They inexplicably disappeared, though, just after the Great War. It is not clear where they went, but Our Lady of Good Counsel (915 Putnam Avenue) continued on as the Catholic Church to support Catholic Stuyvesant Heights up into the 21st Century. The church has now, though, gone to wherever the Minims went.
