OLD PHOTOS, ARTICLES, MEMORABILIA, ETC... Do you or anyone you know have old photos of the church? We would especially like to find any photos of the church as it was being built and after it was built. We would also like photos of the original church that was located in the area of the current rectory garage. Check your attic, ask your relatives, friends and neighbors, then let us know what you find. Submit photos, old bulletins, memorabilia, news paper articles, etc. All submissions will be returned. Also, for those who prefer not to mail or leave your items, you can bring them to the rectory and wait for them to be scanned into the computer. This takes only a few minutes and scanning does not harm pictures, articles, etc. All material collected will be used by the historical committee in preparing for the Centennial Celebration. If you have any questions please contact the parish office at 489-2091 or e-mail vbvm@comcast.net. Thank you!
