SAN MIGUEL CATHOLIC CHURCH

CIRCA 1930-1940 CIRCA 1940 NOTE ROCK WALL As a young altar boy I shared many masses with Father Stanley saying the mass. The learning of the Latin for the service was drilled into my head by another favorite, Sister Mary Julian. I served regular low mass (during the week) and generally the first mass on Sunday morning. High mass last mass on Sunday and on Holy Days. I did serve mass for the departed, tho it was sometimes hard as it may have been someone I knew or was related to someone I knew. The hardest that comes to mind was Esther Zimmerly's uncle. He was killed during World War II. CIRCA 2004 AHA SOME SNOW CIRCA 1990 CHRISTMAS 1990
