I went to the elementary and graduated the high school in 1964. The Friday night CYO dances were wonderful and I looked forward to them every week. I understand there was a fire that destroyed many of the records. I was the chief editor of our newsletter The Crier during 1962 to 64. Would love to see copies. When I moved and got married my mom cleaned my room and got rid of all my stuff.
I was a member of the Sacred Heart Parish and graduated from the grammar school in 1961 and the high school in 1965. It was a wonderful church and school run by the order of St. Benedict. Miss those Friday night dances when I was in high school.

My mom was a graduate of SH in 1945. What happened to church records?
It would be nice to access them as she was the youngest of 11.
What happened to the Cemetery affiiated with the Sacred Heart Church? My grand-Aunt “Eleanor (Fitzgibbon) Pierce” was apparently buried there in 1911.
