JCole: The baptismal font that was originally in the gym (I'm assuming your baptism pic) was moved to the upstairs baptistry (under the bell tower) then replaced with the the dark marble one that was there for many years. Do you know who the priest who baptised you? Are those field trip shots at Heilmann? Does anyone know what happened to the dark baptismal font that after renovation of the church? Was it moved? was the marble used for the present day baptism pool located in the gathering area?? If one looks carefully in JCole's baptism picture taken in the gym, you'll see a station of the cross that was later used in the present day church, later being replaced by the ones placed in front of the speakers along the arches inside the church nave.

I was never sure where I was baptized. I thought it was in the new church, but maybe downstairs. It was Spring of 56 Yes the field days were at Heilmann. I don't know the priest but I might be able to find our from one of my sisters. | ||

JCole: I'm pretty sure you were baptised in the gym. The brick and window are that of the gym. I'm not sure if the lower church had baptisms, the lower church had cinder block and much higher windows. The upper church would be real evident. .....That in my opinion with the marble, the stain glass windows, the small St Joseph enclave that preceded it, was one of the most beautiful baptistries. My sister and I were also baptised in the gym. The surroundings are the same as in your pic. BTW, that is a great picture! Thanks (Message edited by kellyroad on May 08, 2008) | ||

I'll bow to your superior knowledge on this, but I will see if I can find out who the priest is. Z might even know. | ||

He doesn't look familiar to me. He would have had to stay around another 7-8 years for me to have been cognizant of a priests name. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 526 Registered: 04-2005 |
I thought maybe we had been baptized by the same guy, and knowing that you've kept everything from you baby shoes on down, you might still have your baptismal certificate. I'm thinking of contacting St. Jude and getting my certificate anyway. It'll be on there. | ||

I'll have to dig in the archives, I'm sure I have it | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 404 Registered: 04-2008 |
I have my Baptismal certificate. Let me go scan and post it right now. | ||

Z - where are your pictures on the facepage? JCole has got us all facing some serious catch-up time! I'll take some "new" pictures this weekend - maybe even one of the 'tunnels'! | ||

Cfg. I never kept anything from my childhood, I can barely remember it. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 528 Registered: 04-2005 |
Z has the archival footage. The church papers, and that type of stuff. I just called and requested my baptismal cert from St. Jude. We'll see when i get it. | ||

Jcole - Lynn will take care of you - quickly - she's the best admin St. Jude has had in many years! Well, Z - looks like we'll have to fill in your childhood memories - you'll have a delightful childhood by the time we're done! | ||

THE TUNNELS!••• I would just love to get down there some day with my Sony digital 8...and get the church, convent, gym, school...all that. I could get the avi's posted on FB. Maybe this summer some time...the tunnels would seal the deal! | ||

7&K: The problem is if you do that then the mystique would be gone. But it would be great. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 529 Registered: 04-2005 |
All I got was a voice mail asking for my name, address and phone number and they said they would send it out. I imagine they will call for a fee if one is required. | ||

When one or both of you get a chance, go to the FB site and tell me if you think that one picture is Bob Dhanis or not. I can't quite tell. If not, who do you think it is? Also, I really think that tall blond is Tom Kretz, I can't imagine who else it could be. | ||
Campfire_girl Member Username: Campfire_girl Post Number: 96 Registered: 03-2008 |
then I'll just take some "mini" tunnel pictures! or maybe just one by the big furnace! | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 369 Registered: 04-2008 |
JC: Having a tough time with the clarity. I'm buying Tom Kretz, but I'm kinda iffy on the Bob Dhanis one. | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 407 Registered: 04-2008 |
What if I get down there and discover I'm claustrophobic? What if there are bones? Or treasure? Maybe the old font is down there for secret baptisms. Maybe there are doors leading to other tunnels, like to the old missile site. What if the lights go out? What if the door shuts behind me and I can't open it and my cell phone has no bars?•••• I can't wait! | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 370 Registered: 04-2008 |
Add in some cobwebs crawling on you when the lights go out and you've got yourself a movie | ||
Campfire_girl Member Username: Campfire_girl Post Number: 97 Registered: 03-2008 |
7&K - you've seen WAAAAYYY too many episodes of NCIS or CSI - I think the tunnels are best left to your imagination. |
