From the time of my conversion to the Catholic faith back in 1962 until "the day the music died," I had been a loyal parishioner at St. Anthony's on So. Olden Avenue in Hamilton Township. It was here that I met humble, hard working men of God with whom I became fast friends including the late Msgr. Michael McCorristin, then Father Leonard Toomey, Father Liam Minogue, Father Dan Cahill, Father Dan Gowan and Father Joe Ferrante. My memories of those years at St. Anthony will be with me forever. To this day, many "old timers" (of which I am one now) still tell me they miss the beautiful music we sang those 10 or more years ago.

Mr. Glover...Thanks for this entry. i find it so hard to explain to people today how the parish...school and church...was the center of our lives. What magnificent memories we have. BK
ReplyDeleteYou chose a very appropriate adjective Bill. They are truly magnificent memories. As I age, they take on still greater magnificence. Thanks for the comment.
