First Communion

My First Communion class picture was taken in front of St. Adalbertś Church. I was nine years old. My confirmation sponsor was my older cousin Yvonne Raczkiewicz. The saint I picked was Maria Goretti, an Italian martyr. I am suprised my card only says Maria because the teacher insisted I keep looking since Maria had already been selected by so many girls. I must have found a loophole by finding a different Maria. I remember being in the school library at big tables as we looked up saints in the books they had there. My only other memory of that library was the kids looking up swear words in the dictionary--not me of course or did I?
