The photo is the front of the school I attended grades six through eight. If you know me well at all, you know I have no use for religion or parochial education. But I do admit that the time I spent at Our Lady of Sorrows, despite the name, was mostly very good.
Mr. Ocañas, the facilities manager came out through the secured gate to ask what he could help me with. When I explained that I was a former student and parishioner, he very kindly spent some time telling me about the changes and history. It was built so the anglo catholics would have a parish of their own. It's about 95% Mexican and Filipino now. There's a new church---and the school is down to one nun. I guess she has that whole convent to herself. There was a nice Mercedes parked next to it. Maybe that was her signing bonus.
