Their daughter, Guadalupe, brought this to mind when<br />my sister passed last year hre had her burial Mass at St. Bontiface, which brought back memories of our childhood summer vacations to Buena Park.

My mother was the school nurse. All the boys in my family were alter servers. These pictures remind me of how beautiful the "old church" was, especially at Christmas.<br /><br />Jim Slota<br />St. Louis, MOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-702913317899879872014-01-02T11:22:21.417-08:002014-01-02T11:22:21.417-08:00My name is Will Wiebe and my parents, Arnold and W...My name is Will Wiebe and my parents, Arnold and Wilda Wiebe were married in the 1902 Church in the year of 1928.<br /><br />My Mother, Wilda went to Catholic grade school on the grounds of the 1902 St. Boniface Church. <br /><br />Her mother, Christina Pohlmann and her family were long time parishoner's of St. Boniface. <br /><br />Christina and her husband settled in Anaheim in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They lived on a 10 acre orange ranch on 2333 West lincoln Ave for almost 70 years.<br /><br />They had 5 children, all attended St. Boniface Grade school and Church in the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. <br /><br />So we have rich history with the early part of St. Boniface Church. <br /><br />I was very saddened to see the 1902 Church torn down to make room for the existing Church. The 1902 Church was beautiful.<br /><br />My last visit to the current church was in 2007, were I brought my mom home for her funeral at St. Boniface, the church we she grew up in as s little girl, were she was baptized, received her first communion, confirmation, married and were I was baptized.<br /><br />With love and care<br /><br />Will Wiebe<br />Portland, Oregon<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />WillWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539301504043554803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-25101985146916703922009-12-06T22:26:59.661-08:002009-12-06T22:26:59.661-08:00Wow, I love the sculpture on the face of the curre...Wow, I love the sculpture on the face of the current building.
