Terrific find by Sharon Vesterfelt of a sketch of the interior of SHJ's first red brick church that burned. It was put into the historical atlas of the counties of Hastings and Prince Edward. Very cool find.
A truly impressive accomplishment by Sharon Vesterfelt, who has lovingly organized two large binders of memorabilia, stories, articles, photos about SHJ parish. This must have taken dozens and dozens of hours to assemble. In a different life, Sharon could have been an archivist at the National Library! We should put it out on display at our next parish event, but in the meantime I'm enjoying perusing through it myself. What can we do to make the parish more than the place where we come for Mass on Sunday? Our parishes will never again look as they did in the 1950’s when people could leave their doors unlocked all night, and most families had only one income, and 70% of Catholics came to Mass on Sunday. But we can build something real and life-giving for those who do come here to give rather than take, and from such an authentic Christian community, who knows what blessings will flow!
