MICHAEL's Story
I ATTENDED OUR LADY OF SORROWS IN B'HAM ALA FOR THREE YEARS AND DID THE SECOND GRADE TWICE, THEN CAME TO FL AND ATTENDED OUR LADY OF LOURDES AND GRADUATED EIGTH GRADE AND MY DAD PUT ME IN PUBLIC HIGH WHICH WAS HORRIBLE AND I QUIT THE FIRST DAY OF THE JUNIOR YEAR AND JOINED THE MARINES. I ACTUALLY CAME HERE LOOKING FOR DONNA WALLS. I AM REALLY A DISPLACED PERSON AND THE PEOPLE OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE I RELATE TO EVEN THOUGH NONE OF US REALLY KNEW EACH OTHER. WE SHARED THE CATHOLIC EXPERIENCE WHICH MAKES US UNIQUE IN THIS WORLD. OK FOR THE RECORD...ON GRADUATION NIGHT ME AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO QUICKLY RAN ACROSS THE STREET AND CLIMBED IN A WINDOW WE HAD LEFT OPEN THE DAY BEFORE...WE WERE ALTAR BOYS AND WE BOTH LOVED GOD...Expand for more
AND JESUS ...IT WAS SAID NO ONE HAD EVER RANG THE BELL OF THE OLD CHURCH ON GRADUATION NIGHT SO WE GAVE IT A GOOD RINGING AND CLIMBED OUT THE BELFREY WINDOW....THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY LOOKING FOR WHOEVER HAD DONE THIS, THEY CAME BY OUR CAR WHERE I WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR OF OUR RAMBLER STATION WAGON. MY DAD KEPT ASKING WHY I INSISTED ON GOING SO URGENTLY AND FINALLY HE BACKED OUT BEFORE WE COULD BE DISCOVERED. OUR SISTERS WERE TROOPERS AND PROBABLY LOVED IT...THEY WERE GREAT AND I RECEIVED MANY BEATINGS FROM THEM WHICH I AM OK WITH CAUSE BOYS NEED CORRECTION EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE NEVER SPOKE OF THIS. I AM SO PROUD OF HAVING GONE MY NINE YEARS THERE,,,,PRAISE GOD, I LOVE YOU JESUS AND I REALLY LOVE THE SISTERS AND PRIESTS
