Parish History Book and DVD | |

Think about that box of old photos shelved in your closet. Could it have a picture in it taken at the old St. Michael Church? If there is a Sullivan, a Birkett, a Booth or a Dwyer among your ancestors, you may be a descendent of one of the founding families of St. Michael Parish. Other surnames among the group are Dee, English, Hill, Knopp, McCarthy, McGinty, Maas, Maney, O'Brien and Rooney. Another 10 or so families were probably among the original parishioners and certainly there were many more families in the decades that followed. Father Robert Moran was the first pastor. Your great-grandmother or great-grandfather
would certainly bless you if you would take the time to delve into
your stash of old
The church was built around 1909 and stood for 76 years. Parish volunteers are putting together a parish history book and DVD in preparation for the St. Michael centennial in 2009. More pictures would be most appreciated. Once you've found your pictures, send them to us. They will be scanned and returned promptly. If you have any photos or stories you would like to share, contact the rectory at 402-328-8480 or Elizabeth Sposato, 402-423-4710 or by e-mail es85950@alltel.net. |
