1935: ST. RAPHAEL'S WHITE HORSE 15TH ANNIVERSARY

 

As stated in the post below, "Maureen" was kind enough to advise that this or another St. Raphael graphic was missing. Herewith the corrected and re-posted page.

 

This interesting article and photo of the original St. Raphael's Church lists MANY of the more prominent and old time residents of the White Horse area. McClain, Booz, Gropp, Stemhagen, and Rabatie to name a few. I will undoubtedly come upon the 1920 dedication of that grand old parish when I begin perusing the October, 1920 edition of the local press. Stay tuned.

Was this church building replaced by the current structure in the 50s?

1963: Card Party Sponsored by St. Raphael PTA

Former Hamilton Mayor and dear friend Maurice (Maury) Perilli has donated some papers to the library for inclusion in our local history database. The above photo is extracted from a copy of the newspaper, "Hamilton Life," published in the early 1960's.

1920: ST. RAPHAEL'S CHURCH, WHITE HORSE

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY LAID OUT CHURCHES IN THE DIOCESE OF TRENTON. BACK IN THE 60 THROUGH THE 80'S, WHEN I WAS A MEMBER OF ST. ANTHONY'S HOLY NAME SOCIETY, I MADE THE ANNUAL MONSIGNOR CREAN LUNCHEON AT ST. RAPHAEL'S BEAUTIFUL CHURCH. THE ABOVE PHOTO SHOWS THE ORIGINAL CHURCH AS IT LOOKED PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PRESENT EDIFICE.
