What interests me most of this mural (in a stairwell at St. Ann’s Church) is not the currently-out-of-fashion but historically correct liturgical garb of the presiding prelate (although, as a priest, I find it interesting), but rather the skyline on the shore. I wonder exactly what view of Gloucester this is supposed to represent? It certainly doesn’t match the current skyline, but obviously things have changed over the decades. The other paintings show that the artist paid attention to detail, so I don’t think he just made it up.

(Pre Vatican 2 ?) The children’s mass was 9:00 AM in the lower chuch. The Sisters would count the heads. Your home was called, that is
if your family had a phone, to see why you were missing. Seeing these murals are bringing so many memories back. Thank you Fr. Green.
