This was the catholic school for many years, but, to my good fortune, the school closed in the 60s, so I got to be a public school kid. For decades now, this has been the parish hall--home to all church functions including catechism classes. Was here every Wednesday afternoon from 1st grade through Senior year.

Catholic school girl from 12-15? Yuk.
I remembered your pic of the place you went to catechism--with much character, so I had you in mind when I took this one :) I even had my mom as a catechism teacher one year--and she was TOUGH!

yes, ma'am--will get my own camera right away! ;) boy, you and insky are persistent Spanish instructors! :)

Yes, was my sister's camera all the way--didn't trust myself with my film camera--you may remember my 1/2 tree incident from Fall '05 . . .

You're welcome for the comments, but thank YOU for sharing all the great images! :)

hahah! sinner girl.
oh my, run by nuns. I seem to remember you had catechism teacher who liked to imbibe a bit. I can't believe you had to pray the rosary at RECESS!! That's a misery. I'd say you are saved for sure! Me on the other hand, being led astray at public school, only had to say rosary before mass and then every day at 6:30 pm at home, when my dad got home from work. Only took about 20 minutes a pop, but I HATED every single lonnnnnggg minute of it! After years of telling my mother that I didn't want to attend church anymore, she finally conceded (with severely broken heart) and told me I didn't have to go if my heart wasn't in it. But that came only after I turned 18.
