I am so glad you took those pictures of the brook, I was wondering what it looked liked today. I remember I use to go to the brook to catch some frogs, and take them back to St. Agatha and keep them as pets. I was planning to making a extra trip there to look at the brook. Thanks for taking the pictures. they look great. Message Number: 292 - Sunday, September 7, 2008 14:38:57 EDT - [IP = 67.83.77.91]
Hi everyone, I just want to let you know, lots of people are sending in their dues and notifying us that they are coming to the Alumni fall event at the gymnasium this October 12, 2008. The day falls on a Sunday but Monday is a holiday. So reserve your T- shirt and a seat. You don't want to miss this one. A big time party in the evening. "Good Food" "Great Music." Come and see the refurbished bell from the Administration building & church. Work on the bell tower continues and we hope to have something by that day. Come and visit with old brothers & sisters real "Homekids one and all". See you there. Victor Message Number: 291 - Saturday, September 6, 2008 20:55:01 EDT - [IP = 67.80.190.137]
My time at St. Agatha were both sad and tough. The home tought me to fight for things I wanted in life. With this attitude I've overcome some impossible tasks Message Number: 290 - Saturday, September 6, 2008 10:28:26 EDT - [IP = 66.136.89.119]
Victor those pictures of the Brook were really great. I always heard of a pool back there but could not picture it until now. Was it a real pool with blue water? or a pool with lake water? We really need to save all of these pictures and someday put it in a book or movie. Message Number: 289 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 14:16:53 EDT - [IP = 75.176.5.212]
Back@cha!...I’d like to take this moment to announce and inform those of you planning on attending this year’s reunion, I will be making available (nominal fee of $25) copies of the “Our Home Movies” DVD”, only while disk supplies last. To date, I’m unaware of any other video footage abroad showcasing Home Kids candidly being them selves athletically, socially and at times promiscuously (hmmm. lol!), as they partake in various recreational activities at St. Agatha throughout the 60’s. I make this 2hr. DVD readily available to those interested mainly because it seems it didn’t make the full rounds when it initially came out. I guarantee it will vividly restore memories of days gone by. For every sale, $5.00 will be donated towards the Tower Bell fund. What better time to take advantage of this offer considering the consequential circumstances that have taken place at our beloved St. Agatha. Full recognition for composing, preserving and release of these video files go to Coach Jim Bryant, for without his initial consent, this DVD may never have conceived its rebirth. Thanks “Coach” Bryant (along with those responsible for salvaging this rare piece of history), again through your light we find a glow!

Hello there fellow St. Agatha Alumni, hope all is well and manageable as we approach the tail end of a summer now in retreat. Next up, the acquiescent surrender to autumn’s chill. Are we once again ready to unite in unison for what may prove to be one of the more emotionally heartfelt reunions ever attended? One certain to arouse wavering after thoughts I’m sure. As you very well know, every reunion has a special meaning in and of its own. The faces we’ve long to see, the pictures shared, and the memories stowed. We reunite as family of unique commonalities and circumstances, all while lending opportunity to engage, reflect and absorb one another’s growth. Rhetorically speaking, I’m sure this upcoming reunion will leave a distinctively fond yet somber impression on many, one that will undoubtedly accrue and transcend as time charts its course. Premised by a surrounding atmosphere of inevitability, and its constant prey to transitional change, I suppose this trip back (unlike any other) will be my way of addressing the confines of closure. My hopes are that at day’s rest, we’ll all be able to retrieve and leave with a source of serenity, a solace that will remain forever lasting! God Bless!

Hello Everyone I hope everyone had a great summer. Wow! I was just thinking of whether or not anyone had seen or heard of Mary Jane Mirro I came to the website and there you were. WOW! Do you remember me Celia Biscardi? We had an apartment together in Spring Valley over the Mellion's grocery store? I was dating a guy named Teddy Pritchard? How are you? I am doing just fine and I am a mommy and a grandmother of a beautiful little boy. His name is Zaire and he will be three years old in September. So nice to see you are alive and still kicking.

Hello everyone, I want to know if all of you have received the "Summer Alumni Letter"? Did you know that the Alumni Reunion will be on Sunday October 12th of this year? I want to know how many of you are planning to attend the days function? What are some of the things you would like to see happen on this special day? Did you know that the day is planned around the old gymnasium? Oh, How many of you have sent in your dues for this year and why is that important? Anyway I just thought I would send a bug out and see how many of you knew about the event. I'm very glad to see that the new people who come to this site, for the first time, get so much back. Be well all of you and I hope you will post your interest here so I can read them when I return Victor Message Number: 285 - Monday, August 11, 2008 15:38:57 EDT - [IP = 75.211.240.113]
Wow, Over the years I checked in on St. Agatha's ... Sorry to hear its no longer active as a home. I suppose all ends lead to new begginings. My wife and I visited the grounds a few years back during a east coast visit, it brought back many memmories. Wish you all well. I was at the home with my brothers Randy Lalo and sister Marta, if the names ring a bell or want any info-post me a note.
