Redrose, I spent 12 years of catechism there and was very glad to get away from those nuns. Fortunately, at least in this respect, my parents couldn't afford the tuition to send me to school there. Father Hogan was pastor there during my sentence and I remember him promising that St. Raymond's would build a new high school when it received $1 million in contributions toward construction, finally getting to that level, and then announcing that a high school would not be built and turning the money over to the archdiocese. BTW, Burlers was on 7 Mile, between Goulburn and Westphalia. |

My husband & his family all went to St. Raymond's in the 60s & 70s. They lived on Joann 2 houses south of the church. I'm going to ask him about this million dollar high school. He's never mentioned it before. Redrose, I'll see you up there on Saturday because my husband will drag me there with him and then ditch me for 3 hours while reminisces with his old school people. It's joy every year to sit in the shelter by myself at Freedom Hill listening to the cover band, watching everyone break into their old school cliques, drinking & talking for hours. It bores me out of my mind. This year, I'm bringing my Nintendo, and at least there is free parking. |

I know Fr.Tom Maher is at my mom's old parish, St. Patrick's in White Lake Twp. He's been there a while, about 10 yrs. I think. My husband recognized him when we went to church one Christmas Eve with my parents in the mid 90s. He didn't remember my husband. He did a shabby job of my dad's funeral too. He gave no comfort to us as a family, and raced through the funeral mass. |
