SACRED HEART ACADEMY

May, 2001

Dear Pat:

My sister recently was able to find Sacred Heart’s home page – it was so interesting to read the history and to learn what is currently in Sacred Heart’s news. She looked up Sacred Heart Academy for our mother, Ruby Wood, who was boarder during the years 1916, when she was 10, until 1925. I believe she was salutatorian of her graduating class, also best dancer, and most popular. She is now 94 and is in excellent physical and mental health and unfailing good spirits and attitude. She will be 95 in July of this year!

She lived in Dallas until ’98 when she had to change her residence to Rockport, TX.

I am sending copies of part of a book we had printed for her 90^th birthday. They tell of her escapades at Sacred Heart. She wrote her memories and a grand daughter drew the pictures. Perhaps they will reach you in time for the next reunion.

With very good wishes and thank you for going on the “net” – and with deep appreciation from mother.

Sincerely,

Jerri Sullivan

Editor’s note: The present day church was built in 1934 replacing the one pictured. The present day rectory sits almost atop the site of the old church pictured. The old rectory (shown) served as the Parish Hall until the present day hall was built in 1949.
