Church closings and memories of St. Luke's

First communion at the soon-to-be closed St. Luke's in 1968.

The final masses at three Flint Catholic churches scheduled to close are fast approaching:

Sacred Heart: 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 31
St. Luke's: 10 a.m. on Sunday, August 3
St. Agnes: 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 17

Grumkin, a Flint Expatriate who was born on McClellan Street across from the current site of St. Luke's Church and school, provided these photos of her old parish.

The neighborhood kids watch St. Luke's construction in 1966.

The church weathers the snows of 1967.

Eastside Memories

I've had a request from an anonymous reader to post something related to the late, great St. Mary's school on Franklin Avenue. This photo is from June 1984. It's all the kids from St. Mary's returning for Mass before they graduated from high school. Sr. Agnes is on the left, Sister Ellen on the right. I distinguished myself at Mass by almost passing out and having to briefly leave the church. Afterwards, Sister Ellen walked over to me. I was wondering if I was still eligible for a swat since I was technically on school grounds. She just winked at me, smiled, and said, "Too much partying last night, Mr. Young?"
