I went to Barat Hall for Kindergarten through half of fourth grade, in early to mid 1960’s. Mother Johnson was in charge of the boys and Mr. Kunz was the principal both were strict but very caring. Mother Johnson was not only greatly respected, but very loved. Unfortunately I did not appreciate how wonderful Barat Hall was. Shame on Cardinal Ritter and the Diocese for closing City House/Barat Hall and tearing it down against many peoples’ complaints.
Nicki,
I so enjoyed your posts about City House … I made my First Communion there, all by myself at the nun’s Mass
at 6:00 AM one Saturday. Small white prie dieu at the altar. Very very sleepy. I distinctly remember thinking
that if I closed my eyes and took a little nap, they’d think I was praying. You know the rest … boom. Sound asleep,
fell off the prie dieu, lots of attention, cocoa in the sacristy.
Happy Easter.
Patty
