PICTURES OF ST PATRICK'S, SCHOOL AND CHURCH

I have two interesting pictures to post today; one is of St Patrick’s Convent School and the other is of St Patrick’s Church.

The first picture is of St Patrick’s Convent School, Patrick Street.  It comes to us courtesy of LEN EDISON. 

In November last year Len sent us the picture with this note: “My son, Kevin, was at a flea market in Winnipeg this weekend and found this framed picture on sale for $6.  He bought it.”   

“WINNIPEG”!  How fascinating is that? 

We don’t know the provenance of the picture so if anyone out there can shed any light on it, we would be obliged if you would share with us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com.

Our second picture was kindly sent to us by KIM BARRETT-DOYLE.  It is another of KAY SIMMS McCORMACK'S beautiful sketches.  Back in October 2013, we posted Kay’s lovely sketch of St Patrick’s Convent School, Deanery Ave (link here).  Sadly, Kay died in January 2016 and Kim, Kay’s niece, sent us this picture and said, “She was an amazing person and a very special Aunt.  Here is a picture she gave us all of St Patrick’s Church.”

Thank you Len Edison and Kim Barrett- Doyle for sharing these delightful pictures with us.  We tip our hats to Len's son, Kevin, for having the acumen to buy the picture of the School!  You have good taste, Kevin!
