The altar piece behind the priest is very familiar
Msgr., I saw the other picture and that must indeed be St. John’s. It’s actually mostly open structure with hanging fabric and behind it is the choir. To the right, as you look at the priest, is the sanctuary, and to the left was the altar server vesting room and we had to cross behind the altar piece to go back and forth.
Sometimes I sit and cringe at the short dresses I see young ladies wear or the grunge look of some young boys/men
In any case, thanks for bringing back memories and giving me a look at my old parish. Now, I’m *really* curious how photos of a parish in Massachusetts got in a First Communion manual from Chicago.
Thanksfor this clarification. (more…)
