Rochester Noviciate 52-53Rochester


Here is a collection I found rummaging through my files of 50 years ago.

The next Association Of Former Basilians Reunion will be in 2007 in Texas.

Lets see how many of our group can make it to the reunion. If you see yourself here, and have a photo to share, send it my way.
