ST PATRICK'S CONVENT SCHOOL CHOIR, 1979

We have previously posted pictures of St Patrick's award  winning choir but I firmly believe that you definitely can't have too much of a good thing!  So, here is a photo of the choir that I found in the 1979 yearbook.  If you click on the photo it will enlarge so you can take a closer look.

Sister Brendan Lynch is on the left of the photo and Miss Eleanor Lawton is on the right, standing behind the piano.  Any other names that you can give us would be appreciated and, as always, you can send them along to us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com and we will add them to the post.  I hope the photo brings happy memories to mind for you.

IN THE LIBRARY WITH SR REDEMPTA

We have two interesting pictures today.   Both pictures were taken in the Library at St Patrick's Convent School.  Sr Redempta O'Brien was the Librarian and she is in both pictures.  WHO ARE THE GIRLS IN THE FIRST PICTURE?

happy looking girls in the Library

 

 

 

This first photo comes from Presentation Archives.  The details are scant but we know it is Sr Redempta O'Brien, who was Librarian at St Patrick's for much of the 1970s & early 1980s.  We also know the picture was taken in the Library.  Did Sr Redempta conduct classes in the Library or was this some sort of special project?  Do you have any information about this photo?  Do you know anyone here?  Please get in touch with us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com if you can tell us anything about this photo.  (The uniforms have certainly improved since the 1950s!)

 

This second photo is from the 1979 Yearbook and we are fortunate  to have the names of the girls who, according to the Yearbook, are Library Aides.

This is another picture from the 1979 St Patrick's Year Book.  Are you on this photo.  Sr Redempta was the Librarian.  She was a lovely Nun.  Do you remember her?
