What a glorious, exciting and emotional 2 days (4/16 and 4/17). Another cherished memory to add to my SCS years (grad of '65). Thank you one and all for the hard work, graciousness and the memories. And of course in making it possible to visit inside my beloved SCS school and church. 18 April 2010 - Cranbury, New Jersey USA

Eleana Conde | Eleana_Conde@colpal.com

I hope to make the reunion this coming weekend. I attended both Commander Shea & St. Cecilias, then went on to Catholic High School - Our Lady of Perpetual Help. I am forever grateful to my parents for putting me through catholic schools. Great teachers back then / I miss the way the school system now operates, especially public schools. I now live in Westchester in a wonderful school system but don't like the fact that students get away with lots of things, especially homework - there's no consequence in the public school system. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for my parents and the disciplined teachers in the catholic schools! Started Comm. Shea in the 2nd grade / then went to St. C in the 6th (that's when the two schools shifted in grades). Best years of schooling! 16 April 2010 - Live in Westchester County / Work in NYC

What a wonderful site!!! I have such fond memories of my years at St. Cecilia's - 1962 -65 - I taught fifth grade and was upstairs with Sr. M. Frederick and Sr. M. Veronica. There are lots of stories you all need to know. No one will ever know what Sr. Veronica quietly did for people. I am happy that some of you are still in touch with Sr. Christine and Sr. Kathleen Ballantine. I also had the Glee Club and that group was made up of boys and girls - we sang at the World's Fair, if anyone remembers. Shirley is also posting a note I sent her. It is wonderful hearing all the positive comments so many have written. You need to know how much we love you all and had such hopes for you when we taught at St. Cecilia's and CS. 28 February 2010 - Plattsburgh, NY

Hello to everyone.I attended St.Cecilia's in the years 1975 through 1983. I am trying to locate Mr. Anthony Aratari's burial site. I need closure with my teacher. He was one of the best teachers. I was in all his plays. Mr. Aratari wrote and dedicated a childrens book to me called"Jingle Pennies" I am now a teacher and I always remember him and talk to my students about this wonderful person who has impacted my life and the lives of so many others. Please contact me with any information of his burial whereabouts. I truly admired and never can forget him. I really implore anyone out there who can help me with this matter. God Bless Everyone.

What memories your website brings back. I was a student at P.S. 72 but took religious instructions at St. Cecilia's. Given by the many fine sisters at that time. This was in the 1930's. I did not make my first communion there because of relocation, but to this day I remember the Masses, and the classes given in the lower church level. Thank you for the pleasant memories. 15 September 2009 - Vermont
