    Frank, I enjoyed the post. I was baptized at St. Benedict's in April of 1961 by Father Michael Jascko. My mother & all her siblings attended the school. My parents were married there on Sept 10, 1959. Many family members were buried from there, also. My mom went to grade school & my dad went to Benedictine High School with the boys from St. John Funeral home. My dad is also a classmate of Bishop Roger Gries. Thanks again.
