Once upon a time I went to this school …
… that’s attached to this church …
From September 1973 through June 1975 I was a Catholic School student for my 1ST and 2ND grades. My two teachers made quite the impression on me – literally and physically. I still remember them to this day. Sister Mary Laura was very strict, and Sister Mary Josephine was a lot of fun. I don’t think that I ever saw the former crack a smile, and the latter always seemed jovial. Back then it was quite common for teachers to scold their students with common classroom objects hitting your bare skin. My how times have changed !
My first Communion occurred on Saturday February 15TH 1975. It’s one of those dates that I shall remember forever.
I was pulled out of Catholic School following the completion of the 2ND grade, and I attended public schools for the next 10 years after that (1975-1985). We (my family) continued to attend the Sunday morning service at the church for a year or two after I stopped attending school there, but then we pretty much dropped out of the church scene as well.
It would be another 30+ years before I regularly attended another church.
