cgf: Thanks for the pics on facebook. Was the pipe organ moved or added on to? I didn't notice the pipes located behind the iconostasis the last time I visited 4-5 yrs ago. | ||

Cfg, Thanks for the tips. I'm in with the name of Sj Nostalgia which is a yahoo account I established as a work around to get Z's church paper. Alfred won't let me reveal my true identity:-) But if you picture me as a little kid with a crew cut from Gem's wearing my Vetere's blue nylon jacket buttoned only around my neck like a cape, and running around like a nut singing DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA BATMAN!, and then try to read the name in the white letters on the back of the jacket, then you will be half way there! I'm pretty sure I know who you are now, and from I remember, you were always a great St. Jude family! Dave was in my grade. I was going to post Z's '65 church paper, and another one I found from '70 or '71 with the grads on the front, but I am running into the same problem. | ||

Does anyone think we became better students using those big black pencils without erasers? I always though the old expression was that's why they made them. Just wondering | ||

No, but I do think I have arthritis in my fingers from being whacked with Sr. Daniel Michael's metal edged ruler because I couldn't write with the damned things. | ||

7K - You definitely know who I am. I FORGOT about my Vetere's blue jacket - with the name on the back. I think that was the only way most folks could tell Betty and I apart! We always got our ice skates there too - they had the 2nd hand ones pretty cheap. I'll try and get some answers on the posting of pdf files. I have more nostalgia to share as well - but am running into technical difficulties! Hopefully, we'll all be able to bring the "real stuff" to a get together at some point this year! | ||

I may have one of those in a cigar box in the basement. I know I have my yellow 1st grade ruler. It's Made in America so it still works. | ||

Cfg: Tell the truth. Did you, or did you not, for any reason, ever swap jackets? | ||
Campfire_girl Member Username: Campfire_girl Post Number: 68 Registered: 03-2008 |
7k - Well, since it's been a few years since then, I can confess - that there WERE times that her jacket came in handy! :-) | ||

I believe I saw this on Detroit Yes somewhere but I don't think it was posted here. If it was I apologize. For those who are geographically removed from the area it brings back some nice memories. http://youtube.com/watch?v=M0I 1K7ijJIA | ||

I'm SO glad this posting is out there for those of you not living in the area. Last week I went to the church to stuff the bulletins with notices for our Sunday "clean-up". While I was alone in the church, the bells starting ringing at 6pm. There are no words to describe the feeling. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 260 Registered: 04-2008 |
They have a distinctive ring for sure. Hearing them at 6pm meant there was only a couple of hours left to play ball. | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 267 Registered: 04-2008 |
I hear the bells. Must stop what I'm doing and pray the Angelus! Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum (Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee) Dulcis instar mellis campana vocor Gabrielis (I am sweet as honey, and am called Gabriel's bell) Ecce Gabrielis sonat hęc campana fidelis (Behold this bell of faithful Gabriel sounds) Missi de coelis nomen habeo Gabrielis (I bear the name of Gabriel sent from heaven) Missus vero pie Gabriel fert lęta Marię (Gabriel the messenger bears joyous tidings to holy Mary) O Rex Glorię Veni Cum Pace (O King of Glory, Come with Peace) Excerpt from www.fisheaters.com  | ||

Thanks 7&K. No Tigs, Wings, or Pistonians 2nite what's a guy to do? | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 268 Registered: 04-2008 |
Make sure the fridge and pantry are stocked, jerseys, shirts, caps (and for some dirty socks) are laid out, and test to make sure PIP is working for tomorrow! | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 262 Registered: 04-2008 |
Sounds like a great plan. I'm on it | ||

  I believe Fr. Burns is standing by the door behind the bishop in the bottom photo (circa early 60s). Can anyone identify the two other priest other than Fr. Ording in the top photo? (Message edited by kellyroad on April 28, 2008) | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 269 Registered: 04-2008 |
Thanks for your thanks, and thanks to Z for the bells. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 263 Registered: 04-2008 |
The guy over Fr.Burns left shoulder with his head down is Larry O'Brien. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 388 Registered: 04-2005 |
Was this for Confirmation? | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 389 Registered: 04-2005 |
The priest in front of the Bishop may be Fr. DeSantis. He was there about then. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 390 Registered: 04-2005 |
The one near Fr. Ording could be Fr. O'Calahan, but I kind of doubt it. It could be someone the Bishop brought with. | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 385 Registered: 04-2007 |
JCole: I thought Fr. O'Calahan came in after Fr. Burns. (Come to think of it Fr. O'Calahan may have been the one priest to visit our home....thanks for the memory jog). The pictures are of the Blessing of the church somewhere in the early to perhaps mid 60s. I'm not sure if the front priest was Fr. DeSantis but that was my guess. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 392 Registered: 04-2005 |
Was it Fr. DesHarnais? | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 275 Registered: 04-2008 |
KR: Thanks for the great pictures! What year were the photos taken, and if you have the SJ Calendar from that year, we could look up all the priests. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 395 Registered: 04-2005 |
I looked at the St. Jude paper Z sent out, which was '65 and the priests were DesHarnais, Burns and Grady. Neither of those are Grady. And Burns is already represented. So it could be a year or two earlier, before Grady, when I think DeSantis was there, or it could be part of the Bishop's entourage. | ||

BTW, that IS John, Cardinal Dearden, isn't it? | ||
