The Catholic church in Birmingham in the 1900s

Thanks Mike - so many names there which I recognise - mainly because schools are named after them. Archbishop Ilsley in Acock's Green to name but one. Also Newman University at Bartley Green - although it is still Newman College in my head.
Nice to read a bit more about the people.
 
Somewhat later, but still the 1900s. Do any of you recognise yourselves in this photo of the St Francis Girls Pilgrimage , May 1959
