Pretty much the heart of the matter

I think your heart is in it.

I went to a RC funeral a few years back. All Latin and incense, I loved the tradition of it all.

Sometimes as an altar server I was responsible for the thurible. The incense was intoxicating.

Does anyone remember Father Hugh Montgomery>

There was extensive coverage of St Peter's, both the school and church.
As a past pupil and alter boy, 1950 -57 I'm curious,
If that old thread still exists can it be merged with this one.

Big time. What a great priest.

With reference to the thread about Mgr.Hugh Montgomery - not wishing to upstage his blessed memory - to date I have known ten popes in my life time, starting with Pius XI to Leo XIV.

This thread is intended for memories of the school. The career of Mgr Montgomery would be better discussed on a separate thread. I shall put this into action.

A new thread is now here about Father Montgomery:

Hi Garfage; I went to St Peters RC from 1945-52 then to St Chads.
The picture shows the end of the priests house and the two doors to the right they
use to have Boy Scout meetings in there. Head mistress Miss Clements other teachers Mr Padden/ miss Lester/miss Higgins art/ if you go through the symphony hall towards the canal just as you leave the hall stop look up thats where the school
was I did it the other night when I went to see The Eagles lovely memories.
It used to be St PETERS PLACE, at the Broad St end there used to be another church, also an antique shop called Shakespere House. hope this helps.....

What an excellent photo. Memories flooding back.
Who would have thought such a small plot of land in dear old Brum could hold so many fond memories.

On a frozen day, we had a slide that finished in the drain.
