I graduated from St. Cyril's in 1946. I graduated from West Catholic in 1950. The West Catholic Class of 1950 is having a reunion on Sept 24, 2010 (60 yrs). Reunion will be held at Drexelbrook, in Drexel Hill Pa. Would be great if both boys and girls from 1946 could also have a reunion. Some ideas???

Hello everyone. I attended Saint Cyrils School from Sept '55 to Oct 56, moving to St Anastasia in Marple, the St Pius X in Broomall. We lived on Chapman Avenue, a nice short walk to the school and church. I last visited the school in 2005 and it brought back my fine old memories. I would have finished the 8th grade with the school class of '63. Instead, I was at Beverly Hills Junior High School in Upper Darby, right up the railroad tracks from St Cyrils.

Congratulations. You have been given a wonderful and holy priest to lead the parish. I spent 8 years in the school graduating in 1956, then Bonner, then PENN. Father Dominic was our Vicar in St. Aloysius, Pottstown and was a friend of all. He will be a benefit for the school.

It is with great joy I recall my memories of St.Cyril's School, class of 1948. Most of us in that class attended the school for 8 years and thus friendships were formed. We had a recent class reunion (1948, '49 and '50) thanks to Msgr. Vincent Walsh and hard working committees. Special thanks to the diocesan priests and IHM Sisters who were graciously present to our families and friends in those years. Sister Elizabeth Ann McFadden, SND

Class of 1970. Had to move in 1968 when my dad, Jack Flynn died suddenly. Eventually graduated Villanova Univ with a BA in liberal arts and Irish Study Concentration. Family roots go back far with St. Cyril's. My great Aunt Irene Welch and her husband John Welch had a pub on Long Lane until the Great Depression/my aunt, Mae Flynn loved to hang out with Fr. O Shea and shared her picnic lunch with him. I loved Fr. O Donnell and my children loved Fr. Farrell. My son, Jack Flynn Stevenson had a great picture on kindergarten Saints dress-up ceremony in church. He dressed as Phila.'s "Little Bishop" John Neumann, with a red cape and crozier (curtain rod). I have so many great memories of our sheltered wonderful life. I remember when JFK was running for election, we knew how all of the sisters were voting! Marie Theresa Flynn

I would have been in the class of 1950 but we moved to NJ in Nov. 1947. I was in the 6th grade. I always remembered St. Cyril's with such fondness. No other school ever compared to the wonderful nuns and priests. In doing reseach for family history I came upon the website. It's fantastic and what a tribute to the alumni and community that St. Cyril's will never close. I remember Patsy Dreger well and some of the other kids in my class. What a great bunch of kids. If anyone out there wants to contact me, I'd love to hear from them.

No one ever preached the way he did up on the pedastool. Served many masses with him as an Altar boy in Sister Adria's class (WOOF). Gotta make a survived T-shirt. :) Anywho, very impressed on everything that's been going on & even more so that St. Cyril's is still around. Great community work.

I attended St. Cyrils in the 60's and 70's. A proud graduate of the class of 1974. Our pastor Father O'Donnell was a superstar and an inspirational man. I was originally afraid of him because he always seemed like he was going to cough up a lung but he was a kind gentle man. I am glad to see that the parish has a similar pastor who will be the same type of leader to lead and bring the parish into the new century. I remember Mrs. Olivetto, Sr. Abbey, Sr Anita Conchita Banana, Sr. Chrissy, Sr, Jungle Judy, Sr. Goofy and Bill Feeser. I am glad the school is staying open so that future childer will have the oppurtunity to forge new memories. Fellow classmate please e-mail me would love to catch up and discuss old times----Mike

Hello everyone from East Lansdowne and St. Cyril’s. It’s great to see so many people checking in on the old parish. I wanted to invite everyone to a party that is being held on November 26 at the Knights of Columbus in Springfield, PA. Me and a few guys that grew up in the neighborhood started an organization that is focused on celebrating how special EL has been to us as we have grown up. We think its one of the greatest neighborhoods in America. Anyway we hold an annual party to get everyone together in order to keep the memories growing. This year it will be held between 8pm - 12am. Check out our website www.eloriginals.com for more info or shoot me an e-mail at scarr2711@comcast.net for more details. St. Cyril’s is the backbone of EL so we want as many alumni to attend as possible.

I was just checking in on my old school and parish! I cannot believe how long it has been, St. Cyril's will remain close to my heart as I have so many fond memories!! I also wanted to add how I was touched by the young boy, Tommy, and his courageous effort to save St. Cyril's. That's a boy Tommy, you showed everyone what St. Cyril's Alumni are made of and gave them an idea of some of the lessons learned within those walls. You are very brave and I wish you the best of luck and continued success as you grow into a wonderful young man! I would love to hear from the HS graduating classes of '98 and '99 and even organize a beef and beer if anyone is interested!

Fr. Gerald Burns, I am writing my family history. I came across a letter from my grandmother's cousin, Fr. John Healy Ballycroy Westport Co. Mayo. His mother and my great grandmother were sisters. Their maiden name was Doherty and were born in Bellmulet. The letter was from the 1960's. It was just found among some old papers. I am assuming Fr. John Healy was a priest in Westport in the 1960's. I can not find any information about him. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thank you.

Patti Regan, 1949 Graduate of St. Cyrils, was in the Parish until 5 years ago when we moved to Coatesville. Would love to get in touch with some of my "older classmates" Loved my time at St. Cyrils, still remember with fondness Father O'Shea. At the time I thought he was the closest thing to God.

In 1959, I graduated from eighth grade at St. Cyril's School. That was a long time ago, but, still seems like yesterday in my mind. Frequently, I'll run into someone who went to St. Cyril's from my class and we always are thankful for the values and the teachings we received from the sisters and priests at our school. We feel it has made us the people we are today. We feel blessed to have been students of the class of 1959. Hopefully, St. Cyril's School will be around forever! Betty Wheaton

My children all went to St. Cyrils. Gina, Marguerite, John, Kristy-Ann and Deanna. In February Deanna (now Sordini) took her newborn son, Louis Jr. to be christened at St. Cyrils. It brought back alot of wonderful memories.
From our Pastor Fr. Edward T. Kearns - May 10, 2007
To
all of you who made Tommy's wish a reality:
Jim Gray last night at the Home and School announced that you have raised over
$415,000 since last January. That is incredible! On behalf of the parishioners,
I thank you for all you have done and are doing to keep the dream alive.
As Jim said, "We raised enough for this school year, for next school year
and we're into our third year." This time last year it was hard to
believe that this could happen. It happened because of you and so many others
who decided to strive for the impossible. This goal has been reached because you
and countless women, men, girls, and boys were determined to believe.
May God continue to bless you and those whom you love.
Gratefully,
Father Edward T. Kearns

It was unbelievable what we were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. Our Alumni committee is preparing A reunion to benefit the Save our School Fund. The reunion is set for Saturday, March 31st from 7:00 until 11:00pm. We will begin the evening with Mass at 5:00pm followed by a school tour. Hopefully we will have another great turnout and at the same time reunite with some old friends. Tickets will be sold on a first come - first serve basis. Ticket information is on the St. Cyril website. Thanks again for believing in Tommy's Wish!!! Jim Gray class of 1969

I remember every teacher. Ms. Canollichio in 2nd grade, Sr. Baptiste who somewhat loved pulling my hair. Fr Feeser in 5th, 1st teacher that actually knocked some sense into me. In 6th grade i remember seeing man land on the moon. I had a crush on Patty McCallion forever. I think I had a big ol crush on Nancy Tribuoni, and Theresa Rhea. And of course I'll never forget standing outside Mother Superiors office sweatin' big time. Paul Rementer where are u? Now your probably asking yourself who I may be. I went to college and actually graduated. I was an electronics tech. in the navy for 6 yrs. stationed onboard the USS Nimitz. Worked as a signal technician for SEPTA fo a couple. And now I work for the Government. I was friends with a geek named John McManus. Therefore who am I ?

Our School Board decided two and a half days before the end of the 2005-06 school year to close down our building and move our students to the basement of one of our supporting parishes. Some think this is the beginning of the end. But most of us still want to fight. I was trying to do some research on how to save our school, when I came across your website.

My family moved into this parish in 1978. Over the years, we have made so many memories, being connected to the school and parish. I graduated in 1989, along with my brothers Joe (91) and Mike (98). We all received such a great education, and the teachers and staff have been wonderful. We've personally seen how the parish can come together with love and support, first, when our Dad, Tom, passed away in 1994 and again in September with the passing of our Mom, Peg. Mom started her work at St. Cyril's in 1981 when I was in first grade. Over time, I think she was a part of just about everything, and truly enjoyed every minute of it. Her favorite was just being with all the kids, especially the younger grades, as she was finally taller than someone! She knew how special the St. Cyril family is, and was proud to be a part of it. I know she is rallying in heaven, just as she would have here, to keep our school open. We have one of our biggest mascots (although smallest...) up there. We can't lose! I'm so happy to see the progress everyone has made, and pray that it continues. There is something to be said for strength in numbers. We have a strong support system and family. We do believe, and we WILL do it!
(This is an open letter of gratitude to the Delaware County Community from the Save Saint Cyril School Committee.)
April 11, 2006
Dear Neighbors and Friends,
The members of the Save Our
School Committee of Saint Cyril Parish in East Lansdowne, Delaware County, would
like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has helped us realize our
goal to keep our school open for the 2006-2007 school year.
What started out as a simple wish from a little boy afflicted with cystic
fibrosis to keep his school open for two more years so he could graduate with
his classmates turned into a labor of love from so many wonderful people who
embraced our cause.
Parishioners, former parishioners, alumni, neighbors, friends, family and even
complete strangers in the Delaware County community and beyond rose to the
occasion to help us reach our goal of raising $200,000 in less than two months.
It is a testament to our community that not only did we attain our goal, but in
63 days we exceeded it by $60,100!
As the song says, "We’ve Only Just Begun," and our efforts are now
directed to the 2007-2008 school year and beyond! We hope the community will
continue to support our mission. Miracles can happen and wishes do come true. We
at Saint Cyril’s are living proof of that.
Thank you, everyone, for your belief in Saint Cyril School.
Sincerely,
Save Saint Cyril School Committee

I attended St. Cyril's from kindergarten through 8th grade, graduating in 1953. It's fun to find out what happened to people we knew when we were young. I got nostalgic after retiring last year and have contacted several old high school classmates but haven't been able to find anyone from St. Cyril's. My post graduation life in a nutshell: Moved to Moorestown in South Jersey right after graduation; graduated from Villanova; joined the U.S. antarctic expedition and went to the south pole; became a writer for corporations and government agencies, writing speeches for the chairman of IBM and others; wrote two books on my own, resulting in numerous TV & radio appearances; got married and had a son & daughter; and am now writing a novel. My URL has information about my published books. A long interview with me, including photos, is at www.pbs.org . Type "Eugene Rodgers" into the search box at upper right and click on one of the links to my interview that come up. I'd love to hear from anyone I knew from school or St. Cyril's Boy Scout troop, East Landsowne #3.

I am so proud to have been part of this school and parish. I graduated in 1979 and continued to be a registered member even once I moved to Lansdowne in 1993. I was married at St. Cyril's and my 2 children were baptized there. We moved to West Chester in 2003 but it took a long time to adjust to feeling 'part of the parish'. When I heard of St. Cyril's plight, I gave my sisters the address to contribute and soon after, sent one from my family. We have been blessed to be part of a new parish where we have a new church and where it seems there is much financial support to continue its growth. Knowing how much St Cyril's has meant to me and my family for many years <my daughter - who's only 5 - still asks to go back to the old church sometimes>, I wanted to help others have that seem feeling by helping contribute to Tommy's wish and many others - that the school stay open and thrive! Let's keep it going. Again, congratulations!!!!

I moved from 536 Glendale Road in Upper Darby to South Philadelphia in 1962 but I did attend St.Cyril's in the first grade (1961-62 school year). After 41 years in South Philly, I moved to Roxborough after my parish school and church, St.Aloysius at 26th & Tasker, closed down. I hated the idea of moving away from such a close knit neighborhood and I do miss the old school and church. Thus, I know exactly what you are all feeling now. There was not much any of us could do to keep our school open since so many parishioners moved away. My donation of $300 gives me a chance to do something I only wish I could have done for St.Aloysius. PS I occasionally pass St.Cyril's and the school still looks nice. You have my e-mail address so keep me in the loop on future fundraising events. Ed Jackson

Ahh St Cyril’s this school holds many fond memories that I will cherish forever. I’m Rich Mitchell Class of 1980 when attending this fine institution I never thought I’d catch myself saying “I miss this place”. In retrospect I loved the place. I wish I could build a time machine and go back. I could not wait to walk up Radbourne across “the Lane” then up Lewis Avenue in my crisp white shirt and Navy blue tie just like my 2 older brothers Tony and Mike did before me. I also remember the May procession marches, Friday night dances in the social hall, St. Patrick’s Bingo Night, Christmas candy from Father O’Donnell and the 9 O’clock Children’s Mass. I was never one to visit the sin bin Millies. I remember being afraid of getting a Bernie-Poultan Ouch!!! I hope this great institution that was very formidable in helping me be who I am today survives. I have sent in my donation. Good Luck St Cyril’s.---Rich Mitchell

So many people are working extremely hard for St. Cyril School because they believe in the value of Catholic education. This reality, for me, was given a face last week when I heard of the unexpected death of my 1960 Classmate, Rev. Monsignor James E. Molloy. Monsignor had apparently died in his sleep as he rested before preparing to celebrate Mass at St. Agnes Church in Sellersville where he was the pastor. My friend and classmate, George, and I attended the visitation and parish Memorial Mass. Seeing Monsignor’s brother and sisters and other St. Cyril alumni again after so many years was like seeing family. We shared stories of Gene (as his family called him) and our growing up days at St. Cyril. It was wonderful to see how beloved he was as the pastor of a parish that reminded me so much of ours. The priest who worked with him spoke about Monsignor’s devotion to visiting the sick and comforting families who had lost a loved one – he had just come from a local hospital before he died. Monsignor manifested the compassion and love of Jesus to his parishioners and everyone who knew him in many ways. As a first grade student, I had hit my head in the schoolyard and was bleeding (imagine what our teacher, Sister Dorothy Regina, had to deal with – there were about 100 of us!) Gene took off his Miraculous Medal and gave it to me to wear, hoping to make me feel better. I never forgot his kindness. Someone told me that he had known in the 3rd Grade that he wanted to be a priest. Monsignor Molloy is an extraordinary example of Catholic education at St. Cyril’s yet he is not alone. As I recall the faces of all the students I have known through the years (too many to count), and all the awesome teachers who have devoted their lives to teaching our children, I am very clear why our school must continue. I want all children to have the opportunity to experience what Monsignor Molloy and so many of us did – a terrific Catholic education at a great school.

I graduated from St. Cyril's in 1947 and then spent my high school freshman year there too. Both of my sisters also graduated from St. Cyril's, Regina'43 and Dolores'45. I am sending a donation of $1000 in my name and that of Dolores who died last year. We owe a lot to Father O'Shea and St. Cyril's. Those were tough times and he labored mightily to keep the parish and school going. Best of luck in your efforts!

Hi From Donna Reiman, nee Morris. I went to St. Cyril's from 1967-1973 and am very sad that it may be closing. It was a big part of my life for so many years. I tried to get to the Beef N Beer but it sold out. I would be interested in helping out in any way I could.

When we heard that St. Cyril was in danger of closing I just sat and cried. My emotions took over me. When we decided to send our daughter to St. Cyril we had been to many other schools, but no other school gave us the feeling that St. Cyril did when we walked in the school to visit. It was during school hours and we were welcomed. We have faith that St. Cyril will remain for many years for everyone to graduate and return to visit. St. Cyrils is so much more than just a school to send your child to. St. Cyrils is a place your proud of, you feel safe leaving you little ones and you know there loved and protected until you get to see them at the end of the school day.

Keep fighting for your school! Sean is an alumnus of St. Cyril School and would love to see it stay open. On a personal note we have been through two closures ourselves with our children. We live in Paulsboro NJ (my hometown), one of the reasons for remaining here (and moving Sean) was so my children could attend my parish school of St. Johns. Our first child attended for three years before the devastating news that we were cited for closure.(1997-1998)We worked tirelessly like yourselves raising money, and recruiting new students. However I believe that the diocese's had an agenda all along, and were a little surprised when we rose to the occasion. They ended up closing us anyway, but I always felt like we went down fighting. Our children also learned that when you love something it's worth fighting for. So keep up your fight. We had some other issues (with Bingo funds) that were close to getting exposed, therefore I believe it was easier to close us and make things "go away". However the following years were tough. They didn't have a plan to merge us, they just cast us away and left it up to us to "find a school". The closest was 8 miles away. Many of us visited schools and in the end choose a school that was the best fit for our family. Our little school family was now dispersed through the county. Some of our area schools had special open houses for us. Of course they had low enrollment too. We got no support from the diocese at all. As it ended up we started a new school in September. I never felt worse in my life. I was driving 9 miles out of town to a school I didn't want to be at! My son was in third grade at the time and we did everything in our power to make it positive for him. We said all the things you should say about "things happening for a reason” but boy were we bitter!!! As it turned out by the end of that school year we decided to change schools. As did 7 of the other 9 families that went there. Once again we were orphans searching for a school. We found one, about 8 miles in the other direction. It was small, and the building was old. But it reminded us so much of our beloved St. Johns. Enrollment was just about 225. (200 was the magic number for closing) So we though we could help them and feel a little more comfortable. We were welcomed with open arms. I also had my other son starting Kindergarten that year so things were looking up. It was a great year and we felt like we found a home. However in February we got word that the Diocese's was going to close three grade schools and a high school and we were one of them. I couldn't believe I had to live this nightmare over again. Only this time they gave us no option to stay open, it was closing in June (along with the others no matter what!) I never dreamed my son would be in his fourth school in five years. It would have been so much easier to put them in public school, But I do believe in Catholic Schools, I just think they should be over seen by people who have a clue!! But that's another letter! However we found ourselves school shopping again. This time for two children a first grader and a fifth grader. Again no help, and not many options. I ended up being told at many schools that they had room for my 5th grader but not the 1st grader. It wasn't until July that summer that I finally got them both in the same school . Ironically my story ran on the front page of our local newspaper and within days I got some help from the dioceses. (They hate bad publicity). As it turned out we ended up at a very big and thriving school that we were always jealous of when we were small and poor. As much as I hate to admit it, it has worked out well. (It has taken years to admit that) My oldest son graduated from there 2003 (he attended for four years) and my youngest son is in 6th grade now. My oldest son is now a sophomore at Gloucester Catholic. He received a scholarship his first year after submitting an essay about being the "victim" of closures and continuing on in Catholic education. He often admits that he went into High School knowing so many more people because of the different schools he attended in grade school. He said he was use to being the "new kid" so there was no anxiety. He also remembers me telling him that something good would come from those hard times, and God had a bigger plan. And yes perhaps things do happen for a reason. I still wish my parish school didn't close, and I become very upset when I here of any school closing. (I don't know where they think the future priest and nuns will come from? ) I have also been lucky enough to witness a school that closed in 1989 re-open four years ago. So keep up your fight, every situation and every diocese is different. You have awesome alumni and a great spirit. I didn't share my story with you to make you feel bad. But to let you know that your fight is always worth it. I will be emailing and contacting some friends who have shared some of the same experiences I have. They too are passionate about keeping Catholic schools open. My hope is that they will send a donation to you. We were unable to attend the beef and beer but our donation is in the mail. We will be keeping up on your progress and look forward to helping anyway we can. "Pray like you don't have a chance, and work like you don't have a prayer"!!! God Bless all of you.

last entered this site on Aug 20, 2003 - one month to the day before my husband of 55 years plus 2 weeks had a massive coronary and passed away while on vacation in VT. We were married in the "old" rectory on Sept.4. 1948 by Fr. Albert Mangan. I still think of him as being surrounded by kids on the playground. My husband and I had attended the all class reunion in March and had tickets to attend the dinner in October. I took my sister in his place. My sister Mary McMenamin lives in Milmont Park; since she is five years younger, we are much closer now than when there was that difference. I have been adopted by her class of 195l from Notre Dame and attend all their reunions. Still keep in touch with Peg (Costigan) Gorman and recently had some funny correspondence from Fr. George Costigan who has been on temporary assignment in Huntsville, AL helping with Katrina work. He is a priest in the Patterson, NJ diocese. I have sent in a donation and am trying to interest others to do the same. My sister and two brothers, Joe and Bill (both deceased) and myself all attended the school and I still wonder how my parents afforded all the new shoes, white dresses, communion veils, flowers for all the processions, etc. I still remember fondly, as we were just coming out of the "Great Depression". We had Church Debt collectors to keep the parish going. This was Father O'Shea's era; just wanted the newer generation to know it is nothing new to need funds.

Well I have to say that I love St. Cyril School. My daughter graduated in 2004 and my son is in 6th grade. They came over from public school in 2002 and it was the best move for my children. My son goes to the best teacher in the world Sr. Ann Mark thanks to her program my son is doing great and his self confidence is off the charts. My husband, mother, uncle ,aunt and cousins graduated from St. Cyril. We were all married and most of our children were Baptized here I do believe that this school will stay open thanks to all the hard work everybody is doing. I have to say I am thankful to Tommy he brought so may people together and the sense of community is greater they ever. Tommy has showed us what catholic education is all about.

I am 25 years old and a mother of a beautiful 4 year old. I want my son to attend CCD and make all of his sacraments in the home of our Lord-St.Cyrils! Our Lord will make it happen.

St Cyril's has a lot to offer our children. I graduated from Cyril's (1969) as did my three sisters (1965, 1967 and 1970). My daughter graduated in 1996 and my son is currently in 7th grade. My Mom was a devoted "Church Lady" and many years of my life have been spent in and around St Cyril Church. Our CYO program is great - see CYO link - and offers the students a great athletic experience. I am glad to see so many people coming together to make this happen. Although I was skeptical at first, I am amazed at the success of this drive. Please purchase car raffle tickets as this will bring in much needed funds. Regardless of why we are in this position, the response has been a very positive demonstration of what St. Cyril is all about.

I just read about the possible closing of St. Cyril's School. My parents, James and Marie McFadden, were in the parish from the beginning and friendly with Father Edmond O'Shea. My twin brothers, Eugene and Jack, were baptized and buried from St. Cyril's (1928--1930). My sisters and I were blessed to attend St. Cyril's: Rosemary, class of 1946; Jean, class of 1953 and myself, class of 1948. Unfortunately I have seen a number of schools where I taught as a Sister of Notre Dame close for a variety of reasons. It is never easy. I have fond memories of many of the Sisters: Sisters Alice Patricia, St. Winiferd, Janet, LaVerne, Marita Norman, Miriam Gertrude and Rosalina as well as Mother Francilla. The dedicated priests I knew at St. Cyril's are still an inspiration to me: Fathers O'Shea, Mangan, Msgr. Woods, Doyle, Kinnery and many others including Msgr. O'Donnell, Dean, etc. Thank you for making St. Cyril's an important part of my life; I shall certainly pray for a miracle -- in whatever way it is given to the devoted people and graduates of St. Cyril Parish. God bless you. Sister Elizabeth Ann McFadden, SND

Most of you are the same people that are always involved in all the St. Cyril functions, and have been for years. It is because of your support that the school has made it this far.It is because of that core group working so hard that are school and church keeps fighting. What a wonderful job the volunteers have done. Also as I have already told Connie, Tommy is wonderful thoughtful young man, which he was before his wish but now everyone can see it. Congrats to him for making this his personal mission. Tommy is a well spoken caring young man. His parents have done wonderful job raising him and teaching him how to be a good young man with catholic values.I hope all his wishes come true. Where are all the graduates from the class of 82 I only see two?

I graduated from St. Cyril's in 2000. I never understood it then, but I realize now the difference that a Catholic education from St. Cyril's has made in my life. I still utilize the concepts that I learned in grade school despite being a college sophomore at Boston University. Just the other night while taking my Managerial Accounting Exam (and being completely stumped on about 4 problems) I remembered something that those old Math Maintenance sheets taught me; Rate = Part/Base. Using this I was able to complete my exam. This is just an example of the many wonderful things that I learned and never forgot in grade school. God Bless the Salvation Efforts!

This is for all the families considering enrolling their child/ren in St. Cyril's School. St. Cyril's is a wonderful place for children and adults. You are guaranteed a solid foundation from which your child can go forth successfully. We currently have a son in sixth grade who is doing very well because his needs are being met. He gets help from Sister Ann's program for children with learning differences, and he gets help from Miss Williams, a very nice woman and an excellent math teacher from the IU. You should know that programs like Sister Ann's are not available at all parochial schools. We also have three other children who have already graduated from Saint Cyril's. Our daughter went on to Archbishop Prendergast and graduated from there with honors. She is currently a sophomore at Boston University. Our twin sons are Juniors at Monsignor Bonner High School and are receiving honors. They are not only doing well academically, they are growing up to be good and decent people because, from the beginning, the values that we teach at home have always been reinforced in school. This is our story and there are hundreds more just like it.

I am a member of St Andrews Parish of Newtown, Pa. I came across the problems of your school while reading the Philadelphia Inquirer. Father Kerns was once stationed here, and did a fine job. Perhaps Farther Kerns could contact Father Picard of St Andrews and have St Andrews take up a special collection. St Andrews has a rather wealthy congregation. I have sent three children through St. Andrews, and know how important a catholic education is, and how important it was to be a student at the same school until graduation. I will be sending in a donation of my own. Best wishes, and good luck keeping the school open.

The school needs to set up an account that accepts credit card/check card donations...make a link from the parish web page to a bank or credit union that will accept donations. This will makes it easy for people to donate and thus you will receive more donations. Good Luck !!!

Hello to all my fellow friends. I am looking forward to a reunion soon. I am going to try to make it on March 6th, but it is a long way to drive!
Hope all that read this are well.
I can't believe that this website has been around for so long and I am now just seeing it! I have so many memories of my time at St. Cyril's. I did not see many names from my class, which would be the class of 1982. Where are you? If I do not make it to the fundraiser, I plan on sending a donation. Along with my donation will be a novena to St. Teresa! I hope that Tommy's wish gets granted!!!!!

I am a parishioner and my kids go to PREP class. I am very upset about the fact that this is happening to our school and even though my kids go to schools in the UD school District a Catholic education is over all the best you can get. I have volunteered to help with the fundraisers and I am willing to help any way I can. I have always wanted my kids to go to a Catholic School but it just did not happen. I to BELIEVE that with the efforts of everyone in the parish we can keep this wonderful school running so Tommy and all the other kids can graduate a great school.

Not sure what we can do to help----but the people at our company--Career Concepts---are the greatest! For the last 18 years--we have enjoyed "helping people" find jobs or helping companies find talented people. Every day around our offices---you hear--"I need your help" hundreds of times as we ask others to help us help others. I'm not bragging--but we have been fortunate to be connected to a lot of people throughout the region---perhaps we ask for help again and see what our collective efforts might achieve. Tomorrow--I will ask our team what we can do to help Tommy with his EMERGENCY WISH --collect ideas, suggestions, etc and help the community get behind keeping Saint Cyril open. I will get back to you with our commitment. Joe Dougherty EVP/Partner Career Concepts 610-941-4455(103)office jdougherty@cciconsulting.com www.cciconsulting.com

I think it is great that so many people are willing to help keep the school open and will be glad to participate in that effort. I know now what attending a Catholic grade school provided me and would like to see that opportunity continue to be made available for many years to come.

St. Cyril school has been turning out young Christian ladies and gentlemen since it's founding in 1929. It's been a part of the fabric of the borough of East Lansdowne and is vital to our community. My four children (son, three daughters) went to Cyrils' and then on to Bonner and Prendie. All four graduated from college and two have Masters degrees. We joined the parish in 1969 (7100 block Radbourne Road) and in 1976 moved to the 200 block of Penn blvd. I know that with the guidance of Father O'Donnell, Msgr. Dean (who taught me at St. John Neumann), Father Farrell, Father Burke and now Father Kearns along with the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the dedicated lay teachers and the parish leadership - along with my wife Edna - my kids were extremely lucky to be raised in such a loving Christian environment. I urge Guestbook readers nationwide to examine their financial situation and dig a little extra in the pocketbook to save this magnificent institution. Thank you, Mayor James G. France

I would like to thank everyone involved with the SOS Committees for their dedication and involvement. If anyone can keep us open it is this group of people. Many of these people are the same people that keep our Carnival running each year as well as showing us how to "keep the faith and believe". Although my children attended and are currently attending schools in the Upper Darby School District, I believe that Saint Cyril's is truly a great place to go to school. Our faculty and staff is second to none. You will not find another school (public, private, Catholic, or otherwise) with the dedication of our educators. As soon as you walk in the door you feel the "family" atmosphere; everyone is welcome. My children attended CCD and always felt as though they were part of the school. We have a great group of children and it would be terrible for them to miss what will be a truly wonderful learning experience. I continue to keep the committees in my prayers and hope that we can win this...for our children!

I agree with the comment about schools and churchs closing where the they are needed the most for the kids. Doesn't make sense to close great schools like St. Cyril's. St. Cyril's was a great school and Church to grow with. The teachers, Sisters, and Priests were always there to help you both for school and family. Didn't always understand the lesson at the time, but it sure paid off later in life. 10:00 O'clock guitar mass May processions, volley ball for gym, Troup 393 were all great memories. Best luck with the fund drive to save the school. Sent donation today and will continue over the next few weeks to send what I can.

When I found out about Cyrils I was upset but didn't think anything of it, since I graduated a few years ago. But after reading Tommy's letter, I see how much "Cyrils/Our Familly" would do for each other. All the kids I grew up with would make this happen if we were in school so I am going to help in any way I can. I would just like to see his wish come true. Not many children would make their wish to save a school. Tommy you are a brave kid and I hope that your WISH WILL COME TRUE!!! GOOD LUCK WITH THIS PROJECT! "I BELIEVE"

Find it interesting they seem to be opening up huge new Churches and schools where they are building $900,000 plus homes. Very fond memories of my experiences at St. Cyril's school. All the Priests and Sisters, and teachers were very supportive through some very difficult years. They took a real interest not only in our school studies, but in us as a person. Class of 1977

I am a St. Cyril's 1996 graduate, and I did very well scholastically while I attended (1st through 8th grades). I really feel as though St. Cyril's had a very positive influence upon the way in which I went about my life. Mrs. Cashwell especially was influential in my life. I had her as a teacher for both 7th and 8th grades. I can still remember her famous phrases of "make me proud" and "the choices that you make today will affect who you are 10, 20, 30, years from now." In essence suggesting that there is no time like the present to give it your best. I am a proud 2005 graduate school graduate and am preparing to begin my career. I may not be world reknown, but I would like to state confidently that I know I am off to a magnificent start with much success to come my way in the future as a result of time and effort. Anyway, no matter what happens with the whole potential school closing ordeal, I just wanted to give a very special thank you to all the long time St. Cyril's faithful who remained loyal regardless of circumstance. Particularly, I would like to thank Mrs. Cashwell because of the way in which she conducts herself, everyday- leading by example! Thank you Mrs. Cashwell for your commitment, even more simply, thank you just for being you. Bruce Marziani, class of 1996 (484) 576-3381 (610) 532-1023

Hi to every one especially the class of 1966. We have returned to Harrisburg after living a couple of years in Pittsburgh. So glad to be back to Central PA. I took a drive to East Lansdowne after landing at Phila. airport and before returning to Hgb. I got to walk thru the school.Oh the memories!!! When is the next reunion? I would really love to go.Would love to hear from members of the class of 1966. Would also love to hear from old neighbors especially Barbara,Tommy,and Cathy Gorman, Peggy McGready and Joe O'Conner. I don't know if our class is aware the Veronica (Ronnie) Culavitch died ... it's been a few years now. She had a heart and lung transplant out in Pittsburgh and never made it out of the hospital. I was able to visit her after her transplant. She looked good at the time. She was quite a trooper. Does anyone know the where abouts of Ginger(Virgina) or George Wood? They lived in Stonehurst, moved to E. Lansdowne then I think they moved to N.J.Just some more of the old neighborhood . Take care Jane(Cassidy) Boyle

The passing of our Peg was such a shock to everyone. Peg was one of the most caring and generous ladies I have ever known in my life. We at the Rectory keep waiting to hear her keys jingling letting us all know that "Margaret's here". There will never be another Peg and we miss her terribly. To Chris, Joe and Mike, how lucky were you guys to have such a wonderful mom who loved you so much! Thank you Lord for giving us the gift of Peg!!!

We were very sad to hear of the sudden passing of Peg Rainey. We remember her well from our visit to your Parish and she subsequently kept in touch with some of our members. Her great sense of fun was very evident to us and the Rectory will not be quite the same without her presence. Please convey our sympathy to her Family, Parish Clergy, Friends all her collegues. May she rest in peace. Jomac Productions, Dublin, Ireland.

If there are any future plans of gatherings I would be very interested in attending.

For the pretenders, time is a snowdrift. Blood on the ice is merely a novelty. Fearful romantics, afraid of ethnic colors, escape to the wilderness, but they remain close cultural pockets to exhibit their wares. The pretense of revolutionary praxis makes them a minor celebrity in those remote locales. But it is artistry they're peddling not revolutionary praxis. The quip might lighten the load, but art fails to unshackle the proles from their fetters. Having seduced all that was left behind in the city, in an effort to prove one's predatory prowess, the narcissists mold the new initiates into their worldview. Always self-serving. Always befitting their pleasures. Always a waste.

It's been a long time since we left the area, and still have great memories of Long Lane, the Hoagie Shop, and sunday nite dances in the Annex (where I first met Rachael).

Aloha Class of 1970 and all of you Cyril's alumni. Merry Christmas from the old sod. I am reading a wonderful book by Henry Giroux called "The Terror of Neoliberalism (2004) which argues that the U.S. has become "proto-fascist" and I must say that everything I read and experience confirms this view -- as merely an optimistic one. The country is in desparate need of a second American revolution. . .and I hope it happens in our lifetimes. I encourage all of you to teach, get a grasp of the real issues and think internationally. And read CounterPunch! Best, Brian

Well, I managed to miss the reunion again and I am sorry about that but I began a new job at Villanova and just couldn't make it. Perhaps next year I will be luckier. I wonder if anyone knows what happened to a girl who was a student here in the 70's by the name of Leah Mangini. Every Sunday at 10 o'clock Mass she handed me a hymnal for years. Later we became friends but lost track of each other. The last that I heard, she was getting married but I moved to New Jersey and never had any contact again. If you know anything please write to me at my e-mail address. Thank you. Tom

For all those who may be interested in seeing a picture of one of St. Cyrils best football teams......the team of 1954, just e-mail me, I'll be glad to send it. We were undefeated until the last game of the season, the game ended in a tie, but they gave the win to St. Rosalima because they had more first downs then we did. I don't think there was a dry eye on the team. Our quarterback was Joe Brogan, and our fullback was Jimmy Hoffman, Frankie Gallager is also in this picture.

A very nice surprise to see your site and to learn of the reunion in October. I reside in Washington and attended St. Cyril school for a few years when Father Oshea was pastor. I made my First Communion in 1945. We later moved to the city and I remember being very sad to leave. I recall the lovely statue of our Lady in the basement church and I spent time there as a child on Sunday afternoons, alone in the church and reciting the first prayer O Sacrament Most Holy O Sacrament Divine. so you see i have a special place in my life for Saint Cyril and the Stonehurst community. I am hoping to attend the reunion provided all goes well. I reside in Saint Peters Parish here in Washington near the Capitol Building. We are small with only 600 registered members. This is a very expensive area of washington to live in and I was lucky to buy my home in 1978. I WAS thrilled to know the IHM sisters are still there, my cousin the late Sister Dorothea Marie Nawn was a member. Kindly remember my sister Geraldin who has been diagnosed with the big C in your prayers. Geraldine also attended Saint Cyril's Our family name is Nawn. Invoking our Lord's blessings upon the community. AD MULTOS ANNOS. THOMAS NAWN

On 9/8/79, 25 years ago, Father Burke performed our marriage at St Albert the Great in Huntingdon Valley, PA. We remember his great enthusiasm & joy for our sacrament. We also remember his counsel during our preparation and his follow up when things were not perfect. We are richer for his life and saddened by his passing. After 25 years -we're still together and Father Burke is one of the reasons. We shall always remember him fondly.

Just recently stumbled across the web site. Wow what memories. Saint Cyril's will always hold a special place in the hearts of my family and me. All six of us went through grade school from first to eighth grade. Fond memories of May processions, midnight masses, drill squad's, nine o'clock mass on Sunday's, Friday night dances in the social hall, cub scouts, walking down Long Lane to and from school and a million more. I would like to say hi to all of my old classmates from the class of 1970. Hope you are all doing well and raising your hands before asking any questions.

St. Cyril's was our home parish from the time my husband and I were married in 1980 until we moved last year. We have fond memories of the parish and school. Our daughter, Amy, graduated from St. Cyril's and is now at Prendie. She constantly reminds us around United Way time to remember Cyril's CYO....and we do! Best wishes to our old parish on completing 75 blessed years in the East Lansdowne community. We have fond memories of our years in the parish. You'll always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Father Burke was by far one of the nicest gentleman i have ever had the pleasure to know and work with. I will never forget how he always teased my husband and i about wearing plaid. he thought we bought our clothes in bulk. I will always remember him approaching me at the time of my dad's death asking me if he could have the honor of saying my dad's funeral mass. He along with my dad are two men who will always have a place in my heart. Rest in peace Father, for all the beautiful flowers are the first ones to return to God's Heavenly Garden. One day we will meet again.

My daughter found this web site working on the family tree. I was born there in Lansdowne and attended St. Cyril starting in the first grade, 1948-49. My family and I left in 1952 due to my father being transfered to England. If anyone has any photos of the school or children around that time could you e-mail them to me. We have lost most of them in moving all over the world and now that my parents are both gone, we can't find hardly anything. Thank you and this is a great web site. Pat

Presently I am in Holy Cross Parish (Springfield) and have reconnected with many St. Cyril's graduates: Cindy(Testa)McMenamin, Caroline(Uhler)Brown, Meg(Woodeshick)Barry. We have many memories of St. Cyril's, Stonehurst and East Lansdowne. We all hope to attend the event at Drexelbrook in October. Would love to hear from some of my classmates.

Hi All of St. Cyrils..from us,class of 1963-64.We had a great time on the school tour. The first place we all wanted to go see.... was (not sure I will spell this right) Sister Honoreine's class room. The room in the front of the school up the steps...remember. Well, we got there only to find out its an office and the DOOR was locked...darn...You must have had alot of dissapointed people....All the classrooms looked sooo much smaller than we all remember! Thanks for having 8th grade tour guides, that helped alot.....Loved the library and COMPUTER ROOM.....We all had a ball over at the social hall. Saw lots of people that we hadn't seen in years. It brought back alot of good memories. I was in brownies and girl scouts and our meeting were in the kitchen of the social hall....I also helped with the friday night dances...the record player and mic. are no longer in the wall. The coke machine is still there also. I also worked at the rectory answering the phones at night, and worked sunday after mass opening all of the church envelopes....FOND...FUN.....WHOLESOME MEMORIES.......Thanks again to all who organized this night...especially Margie Rossi..MaryAnn Dalessandro who are our friends.....it was really a great night!!sorry we didn't get to spend more time with you,but did enjoy talking to John and John...hehe..

I think that the st.cyrils battle of the bands should be at least open to 8th graders... I feel that it is unfare to outcast students of a sponsering school to attend the event... I know most of the bands, i myself have been to heavy metal concerts, and the fact most of people preforming did not even go to cyrils,i mean come on, i know its too late to get any of the age limits changed, but if cyrils ever has another one, at least make it available to 8th graders with a signed premission slip from the parents if nessary.

What a wonderful page. My parents were founding members of Saint Cyril's and my sisters -- Rosemary, 1946 (d), and Jean, 1953 and I (Betty Ann -- 1948, graduated from St. Cyril's. It was great to see comments from Jim Jansen, Pat Schwartz and Kay (Adgie) Mahoney. Very positive and pleasant memories of Fr. O'Shea, Fr. Woods, Fr. Mangan and many Sisters of IHM. As for me, I entered the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur on December 7, 1952 and just celebrated my Golden Jubilee. I'm looking forward to hearing from some of the class of 1948.

What a wonderful website! After reading some of the comments it really brought back fond memories of my neighborhood. The "Stonehurst movies" on saturday..how much time did we all spend there...and what about the "Bowlero" and the trampolenes across the street? So many names come to mind when thinking about the school...Sister Christopher, Sister San Jose, Sister Herman Joseph, Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Noonan, Mother Superior ( I still shutter when I hear those words..) Father O'Donnell and the 9 o'clock childrens mass...I could go on and on...would love to hear from old classmates from the class of 1968.

How nice to find this website! I have so many wonderful memories of Saint Cyril's parish. I a "public" who attended CCD for many years and never missed a dance in the social hall. I remember the 9:00 mass for children and the nuns with their clickers and the long lines for Saturday confessions...for all but Father O'Donnell, since he was hard of hearing and would often repeat the sinners sins in a loud voice for all to hear. Those were the days and they laid the foundation for who I am today. I'm grateful for all our great parish had to offer.

I remember Father Burke fondly from my days as a student at Nativity B.V.M. in Media. He would come to visit us in our classroom and was always friendly and approachable. The nuns would beam in his presence as he was quite the handsome rogue. He must have made an impression on me because I never forgot him. I'm sorry to see that he passed at such a young age. He appears to have borne out my early impression of him as a fun-loving priest who sought open communication with his parishioners.

We all still attend every Holiday mass at St Cyril's. Attending the class re-unions that we have had in the past were alot of fun. I missed the las big re-union so I am looking forward to the one coming up. Remembering the Friday night dances and all the great times at Cyril's brings back a lot of good times and good friends.

I went from St. Cyril's to the Friars of Monsignor Bonner in 1970. Fr. Spanelli was based at Cyril's and taught me Spanish at Bonner. A real great guy. . .very funny! In recent years I've been investigating the Catholic Church for a book I'm writing, and was surprised about what I discovered abut St. Augustine, the spiritual guide for the Friars of Monsignor Bonner. According to the Augustinian web site, I kearned that Augustine was originally named Aurelius Augustinus and was born in 354 A.D. to middle-class parents in the North African town of Thagaste. He was an incredibly prolific writer, having penned 113 books, among them two classics of world literature: The City of God and the Confessions. Speaking of Confessions, the Augustinian web site frankly admits that as a young man, Aurelius "developed an obsessive taste for pleasures of the flesh." Specifically they state that, Augustine was "a brilliant and passionate scholar, and taught rhetoric in Carthage and later Rome and Milan until his early 30s and--as he acknowledged with extreme candor in his Confessions --developed an obsessive taste for pleasures of the flesh." He then had "a dramatic conversion to Christianity at the age of 32" which set his life on a new course. Nothing wrong with the pleasures of the flesh (it makes the world go round). Though it is noted that the Augustinian faculty at Bonner High never, in my experience, delved into the importance of pursuing the pleasures of the flesh. Nor were techniques much discussed. In fact, I have a recollection of getting a week of JUG for addressing the young lass in the alleyway between Bonner and Prendie one beautiful Spring Day. We're not talking "obsessive taste" here, just some early yearnings for connection. ...

There are folks in Nativity BVM Parish, Media whose burden of life eased, their spirits rejuvenated, perhaps their life mission more clearly defined, though not so clearly that being youthful or human hadn't gotten in the way. He (Father Burke) did somehow convey to me the teachings of Christ were not so ethereal for man and womankind, bound here on earth. ...And I doubted he would remember me from his few years in Media, PA. Every now and then on Saturday evening, I would run into him at the 7-11 on Lansdowne Avenue. I would remind myself that like Father, I too have forgotten some and remembered others, and how countless are many lives we've touched, and to be grateful for those opportunities to do good and see it passed on...

Peace. Hello to Bernie Mulholland, Charlie Anderson, Johnny Sullivan, Bobby Morgan (and his bride Carol Chandler), Mary Catherine Joyce, Ken Stewart, Charlie Grazer, Mary Lou Foresta, Michele Divine, Terry Mount. Hope you are all well! Here's a bit of refelction after a quarter century of hard living: A sage mentor once said, "All relationships end in death or betrayal." Clearly that's an overstatement. For example, where does the "lost touch" category fit in there? Is there betrayal in that? (Methinks there is, but that's a later discussion). Or is it just a soul making her or his way through life? As I've proceeded through the years, I've experienced one or two big time betrayals. Mostly sneaky, narcissistics folks seeking pleasure or redemption at the expense of whomever is in the way. Funny how many of these folks go on to some measure of recognistion. They may be forgiven, but their deeds will never be forgotten.

Hi all. Peace to you. I was doing some research into St. Cyril, the man, and found some disquieting information, not covered in my 8 years of catholic education there. St. Cyril of Alexandria was largely responsible for the murder and dismembermant of Hypatia of Alexandria, the last of the pagan scholar-priestesses. A mob of Christain, extreme right-wing activists did the deed, acting on behalf of Cyril. This act, at the dawn of the Dark Ages, has come to symbolize the violent, anti-intellectual, anti-feminist tradition that entered Christian tradition around that time and is sadly still with us. Hypatia succeeded her father Theon as head of the famous school of philosophy at Alexandria, the last great university of the ancient world. Her public prominence as an educated woman and pagan made her the target of criticism from the intolerant Bishop (later Saint) Cyril, and his followers, and culminated in her murder. We cannot get syruppy-eyed over the nostalgia of old mates at Emerson Ave. We live in history and cannot close our eyes to the truth, with all of its discomforts. How many have turned away from catholocism because of the pedophilic priest scandal that was-- perhaps -- at its height during our time at Cyrils? Those who forget the past are likely to repeat it. Peace and Love, Brian McKenna

My mother, now gone, was baptized at St. Cyril. It would have been 72 years ago, so she must be among the first few hundred. I played football against St. Cyril's growing up but I've never stepped inside the church. That will change today, when I go to the funeral of Jack McGuire, who was a long-time time friend and colleague of my father, Jack McKinney, who died on Aug. 3. I have many happy memories but much sadness in my heart right now.

I entered St. Charles in fall of 1985 unsure of what I was doing, and less sure of myself. Fr. Burke helped me believe in myself, foster my faith in Jesus and accomplish so much in the seminary and after. I left after graduating from the college division in 1989. He did it by spending night after night in his office (which was next to the common room, or snack room) talking over strong coffee and one Lucky Strike after another (he smoked, I drank). The time he spent was a lesson in dedication. He told story after story, lessons in faithful living, all trying to help make me realize I was a better person than I thought. And that almighty God has a plan. Fr. Burke walked with me to find the answers to the question, what does God want of me. Today I still think of him, his stories and his gritty, witty manners, how he said the people with some rough edges are easier for others to get a hold of. That's the words fo a a pastor, a priest's priest and a man's man. Like my father who has also passed, I think of them as the two men who more than anyone made me who I am today. Someday God willing, I'll see that big man looking down his nose with that sarcastic look and grin and a wise crack ... that too means, in a man's language, I love you, welcome home.

Burke was a very special man to me, he taught me Sr. year religion class and did a great job at it, also he was the, moderator of the marching Unit which I was involved in and was a captain my Senior year at McDevitt, Fr. Burke was a GREAT man, he mostly taught me how a priest was so real! He was a very real person to me, which is so important to a high school student. I was out of state when Fr. died and I wish to extend my sympathy to his family and to his parish family, what a WONDERFUL man, he will be missed by many!

It was a privilege and an honor to have worked for Fr. Peter Burke these past 9 years. I witnessed first hand his generosity and goodness to everyone he encountered. He and our dear Father Farrell showed all of us at St. Cyril Parish what it means to care for one another. May God grant them both eternal peace and may they continue to look after all of us. Fathers Burke and Farrell, you are sadly missed by all at St. Cyril. Thank you both for your leadership, kindness and friendship.

He did as he was told by God he was a true servant of God and a true shepherd because if one of his sheep got away he would go to find the sheep. RIP FR BURKE you will always be in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy at the death our your good pastor, Reverend Peter D. Burke. Father Burke was a wonderful priest and my prayer is that he now enjoys the happiness of eternal life. This gentle caring man taught us how to live. His life was focused on his final goal. His quiet suffering taught us how to die. This priest in harmony with God & soul. O God, grant that your servant and priest, Peter, whom you raised to priestly dignity in the priesthood of the apostles, may now be admitted into their company forever. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN (Opening from the Mass of Christian Burial for a Priest) Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. AMEN

The school looked great and I was really impressed with the staff/faculty I met then. I am proud of all the good work everyone has done keeping the school and academic program in such great shape! As for me, my wife pam and I have lived in Chicago for many years, have a 12 year old daughter, sarah. I am a marriage and family therapist here and pam is a hospice social worker. I would love to hear from old friends.

Fr. Farrell was an outstanding person & a perfect example of priesthood. He lived his life in Jesus's footsteps, helping the poor & sick in our parish, and setting an example for all of us to follow. The one thing that always struck me the most is the way he lived each day in a constant state of grace. He will be dearly missed. For the tears we weep be not out of sadness, but to rejoice in his going home.

Hey there everyone! Oh my gosh, it's been too long! I graduated from St. Cyrils in 1997, and attended Cardinal O'Hara - which I have also graduated from, class of 2001! I am in college now, attending Temple University....It is a great collee; my professors are very intriguing and informative. My major is Environmental Science and I might take up Art as a minor. I was just sitting here working on a 5 paged paper (yes we get those) and I started to reminisce about my 8 years at St. Cyrils... It seems like yesterday I was 7 years old and sitting in those small desks. And now I am sitting in my dorm room, looking over the city of Philadelphia, pondering about my future and what I will be doing for the rest of my life. I did a web search and found this site, so I had to sign the guestbook! Ok well, if Sr. Therese, Miss Luca, Miss Kane, or Ms Cashwell are reading this, I just want to tell them that they made my days at Cyrils wonderful and the education they gave me, I will never forget. I'll try to visit sometime soon! Take care Wildcats!!!!

over but the thing is that I'm not going to Prendie next year because I'm going to West
Catholic with Sara Shemeld. I hope it's as fun there as it was at Prendie. Well I know
everyone misses me at Cyrils, or they better!! My niece Toni is getting bigger and badder
every day. My family is doing pretty good. Vinny graduated this year from Bonner and my

To the good people of St. Cyril's, I would like to thank the Blessed Mother for
giving me the oppurtonity to find your website. Peter, your pastor is a very fine man. I
know he loves S. Cyril and I pray that God will keep him in health and peace as he
ministers as Pastor. I am familiar with St Cyril, as you know I administered many
confirmations here and I found the parish to be a warm and loving family. I hope that if
God wills I will be the Confirming Prelate for many more. God Bless you. I send my love

St. Cyril's church has been a part of my life for 25 years, and continues to enrich
and educate me and family. Being baptized at St. Cyril's has also given me insight on how
important going to church, confession, and holy communion really is. St. Cyril's of
Alexandria church is a wonderful and loving parish.

I was so pleased to discover St. Cyril's web page. I was baptized at St. Cyril's in
1942 and moved from the parish in 1978. I have fond childhood memories of life there. I am
a member of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Pompano Beach, Fla., where I am a lector
and chair of the St. Elizabeth School Advisory Committee. My very warm wishes to all
during Holy Week.

I really love your Web site, especially the old pictures. I found my Mom, Rita
Heckmann in the picture with the Prayer Group. I really feel that you need at least one
picture of Father O'Donell. He was really unforgettable. He symbolizes St Cyril's when I
was growing up (class of 69). I also have very fond memories of Father Griffen. Thanks

Cyril's was a great school. I am sure it still is. The web site is a great reminder of a

I am a 1956 graduate of Saint Cyril's and a 1960 Graduate of Archbishop Prendergast.
I have 8 children and 12 grandchildren with two more expected this year. I thank God for
my Catholic education. I love St. Cyril's. I lived in Stonehurst for 14 years. Some of my
best memories are of living there. My husband of 35 years passed on in June, 1998. I miss
him terribly but know he is truly in God's hands now. I would love to attend a reunion at
St. Cyril's. I now live on Beautiful Campobello Island (summer home of Pres. Franklin
Roosevelt) and would love to hear from friends from St. Cyril's. I heard about this
website from a friend and I was delighted to see it. God bless all of you. Diane

would like to say i still have fond memories of going to school here. It is too bad
that catholic churches are not the way they were. I moved when i was nine, and have yet to
find the same in churches yet. Also would like to add that Delores Crossen passed on three
years (my mother). I love her deeply!!!! If it was not for her i would not have the faith
i do. i still can not fall asleep without saying my prayers. I would also like to say
happy birthday Jesus! i hope he is taking care of my mom . I wish i could have went with
her, but GOD knew i needed to stay here to take care of my kids and my niece. If not for
him i would not have the morals that i do. Not that i am perfect, but i do try to be as
kind as my mother. I went to school there in 1974. i JUST KNOW MY IT IS MY MOTHERS TURN TO
BE HAPPY AND NOT HAVE ALL THE STRESS. THANKS FOR A PLACE TO VENT! ALSO I REALLY MISS THE
GOOD DAYS THERE!

Many, many thanks to all who made our all-class reunion such a success. As a member
of this parish for almost 50 years, I was deeply touched by how many people came back to
celebrate the wonderful education they received here. The energy and excitement both at
the Mass and at the party were something to experience - my youngest sister and I didn't
get our voices back until the following Wednesday! I would like to thank the member of my
8th grade class who made the anonymous donation to the school. Thank you on behalf of all
our school children, but especially on behalf of my grandson, Anthony, who is in the 3rd
grade and will receive First Holy Communion this year, my granddaughter, Sarah, who plans
to attend kindergarten next year, and their sister, Gabriella, who has a while to go
before school. Obviously, St. Cyril Parish is a special place made up of special people,
past and present!

As a 1950 graduate of St, Cyril's ,I am so happy to have my address on the guest
book of this website, I am at the moment on homeleave for two reasons: the passing of my
Mother on Sept. 19 and my attendance at two conferences in Oct. I am so very happy that I
was home when my Mother died. It was really a miracle. I arrived on Monday evening around
9pm and my Mother died before noon the next day. I had asked Our Lady on Sept, 8, Her
b-day, that I would be home when my Mom would pass into the next world. My request was
granted. How good is our God!! I want to say "Hi" to all my classmates who may
read this. Did you know about our reunion on Oct.18. I enjoyed it. However, I was
disappointed with the small number of my classmates who showed up. I hope you are all
well, happy . I would love to "hear" from you . I'll be returning to Manila Oct,

the Jews kept the arc of the covenant. Thank you. grm

Me again. After reading some of the questions, I thought that I would add some more
information in case you did not receive answers to your questions. There is an "All
Years" St. Cyrils reunion scheduled for the evening of October 14, 2000. Jim Gray
(what a blessing he is to St. Cyril's) is heading up the reunion committee. The class of
'60 is coordinating a Mass of Thanksgiving that will proceed the reunion and will start at
7:00PM. Monsignor Jim Molloy (class of '60) will be the main celebrant but any other
priests with a St Cyrils connection are welcome to concelebrate. The class of '60 is
hoping to get a good turnout since this is our 40th anniversary (understand that as of
this writing we are neck and neck with the '50 class for the most registrations). If you
are in (or know someone in) the class of '60 then please contact me for tickets
(610-358-2862). For all other years, please order tickets from Jim Gray at 610-284-5984 at
a cost of $25 a ticket. A mailing went out to all whom Jim had good addresses for. There
is a lot of excitement building as we prepare to come together to celebrate the great
heritage that is Saint Cyril's. Not only the great memories and friendships but to also
remember all those that that did so much to prepare us for the future and to help give us
a strong foundation in the great gift of our Catholic faith. By the way, don't even think
about trying to win the any dance contests, the class of '60 has it wrapped up. We'll have
a BALL! PS:Tickets will not be sold at the door, so get your groups together and order
your tickets soon. Hope to see you there!

Hi all, My family moved into St. Cyril's Parish in 1942. My brothers, Dan, Mike, and
myself went all through St. Cyril's grades from kindergarten through 8th grade. I
graduated with the class of 1955. We're all doing well. Our 94 year old mother lived in
the parish from 1942 until she retired to Cape May, NJ in 1985. She's still going strong.
It would be nice to hear from someone also of the class of '55. I had signed several
months ago but learn I was probably a Y2K victim. Congratulations on an excellent website.

We experienced a few problems with our site; and our guestbook files were deleted. We restored files with a backup made before Y2k. If you signed the book between January and July 2000, please sign again if you want others to see your comments.
This is a wonderful web site. I have a 1950's picture of my kindergarten graduation
with Father O'Shea. If you would like to print this to the web site, let me know and I'll
send it to the web admin person. My twin sister and I graduated in 1959. We were known
then as the Kennedy twins (Joanne and Dianne), we are identical and pulled many switches
on the good sisters. Dianne, has 4 children and 3 grandchildren and lives in Spring Hill,
FL. I have three children and currently have 1 grandchild with one due in Februay and then
another one in August of 2000. Anxiously anticipating the new members of our growing
family. I live in Chadds Ford with my husband of 16 years Bob.

I'm a 1950 graduate, sister of Phil Dreger (1946 graduate). Love the 1950 picture of
the boys, but where are the girls? My husband Ron and I have been married 43 years with 4
children and 10 grandchildren. I graduated from Notre Dame, Moylan in 1954, would love to
hear from anyone from the Class of 54.

I graduated from St. Cyril's in 1946 and my wife Rachael graduated from St. Cyrils
in 1947. I went to West Catholic Boy's and Rachael went to Notre Dame Moylan. We were
married in the old church in 1954, have four children, seven grand-children and live in
"Paradise" 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Could not believe that St. Cyrils
would have its own web page. Looked at the pictures and the only one we recognize was Joan
Binder (Molko). Would like to hear from former St. Cyrils folks.

This is a beautifully designed web site - congratulations to everyone who was
involved in developing it! Some info for the 1966 picture: My sister, Peg Bonner (in the
center) was the May Queen that year. The two girls on the right are Joan Adair (next to
Peg) and Beth Ann Russo. The two girst on the left are Geraldine Lenotti (spelling?) and
Donna DePutron (next to Peg). I'm very impressed that Peg remembered these names when I
questioned her - it must be those good Bonner genes! Sorry, we don't know the names of the
little girls. Thanks to everyone at St. Cyril's who is working so hard to give us a
faith-filled, fun-filled parish!

Great website. Very well done. I have info on the 8th photo shown on the Alumni
page. It is a photo taken at a gathering to celebrate Joe Gilmore's entry into St Charles
Seminary. It is some of the class of 1947. I can id them for you. top row, standing l to
r: Robert Parker,Frank Caspar,Wilson,Tom Yeager,Mr McDonald Larry's father,Phil
Sheridan,unknown,Fred Kerner (me),Joseph Gilmore, seated l to r: Robert Koerner,Wilfrid
Wilkinson,unknown,John Dever,Jack Morgans,Father Fallon on floor: l to r, Edward Gilmore
(Joe's brother),Joseph Crowe, Larry McDonald, Walter Buechele. Party was held at the
McDonald home on Blackburn ave,Lansdowne. Not sure of the exact date,probably 49 or 50.
The photo you show of the "choir", is actually the parish glee club. I
recognized my sister Theresa in that photo. It was taken I think at the annex. Anumber of
functions were held there as the new church was not built yet. I have a number of photos
and negatives of parish activities that were photographed by my dad, my brother and
myself. If you would like them, I will bring them to you. Once again, great website, full
of memories. Fred
