ANOTHER HISTORIC PHOTO FROM ELEANOR'S ALBUM

We have another wonderful photograph from Eleanor Dalton's family album!  It was taken sometime between the years 1941-1945 and it really is  a valuable piece of St Patrick's Convent History.  We are very grateful to Eleanor for sharing it with us.

We can name some of the Sisters and we are hoping that you will be able to help us with those we don't know. If you can help, please contact us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com. 

From the back L-R: 
Sr M Patrick, Sr M Josephine, Sr M  Immaculata ?, Sr M Sebastian, Sr M Columba, Sr M Celine, Sr M Imelda, Sr M Agnes, Mother M John, ?, Mother M DeSales, Sr M Camilla, Fr F J Jackman, ?, Sr M Agatha 
Who do you know in this historic photo?
Eleanor said the picture was taken at the back entrance of the convent. Since she had no idea who the military priest was, she sent the photo to Frank Galgay who was able to identify the priest.  Eleanor has also sent us a copy of Frank's email, which he has given us permission to post here.
Frank's interesting & informative email
Once again, a very big 'Thank You' to Eleanor for all the help she gives to our School Blog. The pictures are an important part of the history of St Patrick's Convent and Schools and we are proud and pleased to be able to post them on the blog.  Thanks also to Frank Galgay for identifying the priest in this photo and for allowing us to post his reply to Eleanor's email. The interesting information about Fr Jackman is another valuable piece of St Patrick's history. Thank you both very much.
