1,168 Comments for Salesian School

Based on scale I doubt that Mass was ever said here. It looks like the altar would be at knee height. I'm thinking this was more ornamental than anything else.

I thunk so.......
"In 1925 the Salesian Fathers purchased the property for approximately $61,000 and opened it as a Catholic resident school for boys. The mansion served as an administration building, and the main schoolhouse was constructed in 1931. "

Interesting. I just noticed, looking at this again...If this was a Catholic altar, the mass said here was definately "old school". The concrete 'slap' in front of it means that the pries's back was to the congregation. That was how mass was said back in the day. I think that was changed in the early 60's.....I wonder when the last mass was said here? Gotta go look at Mott's write-up on this site...

The Second Sign
And God said,
Offer the Blood of the Ten Sinners and
the White Oil. Be then released from the bonds of the flesh, and gain the Power of Heaven. From the Darkness and Void, bring forth Gloom, and gird thyself with Despair of the Giver of Wisdom.

The First Sign
And God said,
At the time of fullness, cleanse the
world with my rage.
Gather forth the White Oil, the Black

Prepare for the Ritual of the Holy
Assumption.
