At Worship
So. We were Catholic. Mom converted for marriage- Dad grew up going to Catholic School... so guess who was "MORE CATHOLIC".
I have lots of funny stories about church and First Holy Communion and whatnot, but they are all stories about my immediate family.
Grandma and Grandpa Oltmer did help build a church in Demarest - St. Joseph's. Mom and Dad were married at St. Joe's ... but it was at the end of Brookside Ave. when they were married on May 17, 1949. But shortly after, a new St. Joe's was going to be built and the Oltmer family was a large contributor.
This window (dedication enlarged in photo 2) are still in St. Joseph's Church in Demarest.
Aunt Florence and Aunt Mary were both married there - and were eulogized there as well. We were strictly St. Therese in Cresskill - for most everything.
You do need a fun story - So I'll just give a link to one of my favorite church stories:
