To Whom It May Concern,

I lived in Mt. Loretta from 1960 to 1964. Because I have no pictures of myself taken before 1965, I have been searching Mt. Loretto's web site for old photo's. That was no help because most photo's were taken after 1968. I just would love to see what I looked like back then. There must have been some photo's taken in that time frame. I would appreciate some help if any. Thank you
Eva

TO Eva,
Sorry to say I to was at the mount(69-74) and can find no photos from that time. even the boys side buildings have all been demolished and i could find no pics of even them.
good luck

Mount Lorreto has a Alumni group that get together every year and when I went a couple of years ago I saw people who in my age group (44) and older. They had brought photo dating back from the 50's to the time the Mount closed down. I can put you in touch with some of those people if you like. Take care and good luck.

I was there from 1959-1966, there's alot of memories and many people I loved to hear from. And hello Joe Gallo

Has anyone ever noticed the woman on michaels jacket in the scene of the funeral? what does it mean how did it get there???

I am looking for records on my great-grandmother who stayed at the Mount Loretto Orphanage in the 1910's - I am hoping someone may know more information about how/where to do this, and am wondering if anyone has had success in locating information on their relatives during this time period. Many thanks!

I was at the Mt from 1944-52. Would love to hear from some of my classmates. Have been
wondering about you all.

Hi to everyone that may remember me. I was at the Mount from 1961-1970.

I am Sgt. Angel Mendez sister. I Graduated from Tottenville High School and lived in the Duvall Cottage.

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from my stay at the Mount (sorry).

I would love to hear and share my experience from anyone who remembers me during the dates listed above.

Love to all my Mount Loretto Family -- Hope to hear from you soon!

I am trying to locate the records from Mt.Loretto for my mother who was placed there around 1921 her mother died when she was an infant. Mother will be 86 next week and might be the oldest person still living from there.If anyone knows where these recods are at or how to obtain them please contact us. Thank you. Yvonne Bush

My mother, Patricia Naughton, graduated from there in 1959, I'm trying to find her brother's Raymond (born 4/40) and John Naughton (born 4/38). I noticed that there are some Alumni functions, if you wouldn't mind emailing me the info I would love to try and finally meet my uncle's. It might also help explain some of my mom's health problems - if they have the same. My email is princess79@optonline.net. Thanks for any help!

Reminiscing about my years at Mt. Loretto and looking for friends dating back to 1969, specifically Donna Sica, Lillian Paniagua, Lux Rodriguez, Adelina Rivera, and, especially, Father Eugune Mangan.

My love to all who have had the unforgetable and wonderful experience of living at The Mount...

Hi...
I lived at Mt. Loretto, MIV, in Pleasant Plains...
I'm not sure of the date, but perhaps 1952-1953.
I was 9-10 yrs old. I lived at St. Elizabeth's Girls' Orphanage & my two brothers Johnny (11-12) & Angel (6-7) Maldonado, lived across at the "boys" side, for two years, (I think). St. Joachim & St. Anne (at Hylan & Sharrot) was where thousands of kids made their Communion/Confirmation, and I believe group pictures were taken by the Priests/Nuns. (Must be in the archives)of course, the children's families took pictures of everything & anything.

The church burned in December 20,1973. St Elizabeth's was gutted by a big bad fire in 2000.
Brings tears to my eyes. Check out Shaun O'Boyle for the horrible story and pictures of the fire.
Check out Reminisce Tottenville...you might come across someone looking for someone...it might be you. Visit the site often. I loved all the Nuns & Priests!! They taught me well & how to be a good human being. I can see all of them walking the corridors and the grounds...they were so beautiful, in their black Habits & white Habits...in the summer we would sit on the grass and tie the three (3)knots on the cord which were shipped all over the world for Monks & Priests & Nuns to wear. It's called St. Joseph's Cord. The knots are the 3 vows they take...Chastity, Poverty, Obedience. Sister Stevens Marie was my fave...she took me under her wings and helped me so much, during my darkest time. God Bless her always. No reply is needed. I'll be back later, to reminisce some more of yesteryear. I love reading stories from that timeline.

Doing some research for a friend- her great-grandfather and younger brother left by mother at boys home Staten Island for a few years. Younger brother born 1888. Would like to know if there are any records from that period which might give birthdates and places, mother's whereabouts, or any other family details so that we can find where in Ireland family came from. Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

if you would like to contact me...please email me at gallo at snet.net...would love to hear from you. Joe

Hello everyone,
I pray that you are all doing great. I really didin't feel like "saying" anything, but I find that there are many people who couldn't continue with their lives after "The Mount". I know many were succesful in finding great jobs and building a life with a home and family; but many according to the emails I see here and the info on them it's obvious that the memories created after the mount, don't campare to the memories created at m.i.v. I myself had many great memories there, though at first I hated the place simply because I was tricked into going there. but, once there I learned to love the place the people and everything we did there. I was here from 1959 to 1968. I guess I can say that was where my first family was created and it hurt like hell to have had to leave them.
I see some familiar names on this email board and I get flashbacks. I recall the: Mallon bros Tommy & Jimmy
Joey and Vinnie Gallo
Robert and Patrick Napalitano
Anthony "Smiley" Vazquez
Joey Amado
The Melendez Bros. Angel and Joey
Benny and Alex Santiago
Reggie and Ronnie Martin
Sally Echevarria (was my girl) her sisters Sonia and Sandra, their brothers Efren, Edwin, Wilfredo...
Robert, Henry and iInocencio "Bumpy" Ramos
Guillermo "Glamo" Torres
Julio and Mickie Torres
Isaiah Morales
Priscilla and Teddy Hernandez
Freddy and Dian Prince
Peter and Maria Belessis
Maria Brazzario
Nancy Bonilla
Howie and Jenny Carabello
Carmen Ramos (the first and the second)
My own brother's Hector and Eddie Padilla I can go on and on and on, as I'm sure you all can.
Just want to say that the memories are there fresh as though it were yesterday.
The socials at the girls side gym.
The cadet balls
Sportsnight
Swim, basketball, football, baseball, track and boxing teams.
The singing group competitions.
The scrubby counselor's and the great counselor's.
The very special friends and the not so special. 3
Good or bad the memories are there.
It'll be nice to share...
God bless you all...

i was at saint johns and saint francis from 1975 to 1979 and would like to speat to tony. email me.

Are there anyone out there that remembers me? 1945-1949.

Live at Mount Lorretto from 1950 - 1956. Don't remember any complete names but some partial names, Bruno and Nappa. My memories cover a wide gammit. The hurt at initially being separated from my immediate family, waiting for a visit on visitation days, singing in the choir, the beautiful church and chestnut trees across the street from the front entrance, making my first communion and confirmation, the winters and the festive holidays, being scared by someone dressed as the devil at Holloween, the life size manger scene on or next to the alter with all those wonderfully smelling Christmas tress, going to the Navy or Coast Guard site for Christmas dinner and a visit from Santa, the tunnels /maze through the hay stacks, the walks to the beach, swimming, cook outs and lots more. I've rambled on enough for now but do think of Mount Lorretto often and have mostly good memories of the place. I don't remember the order of nuns, priest and brothers that ran the site, but want to thank them for taking care of us (brothers & sister) during a difficult time in our lives.

I was at Mt.Loretta 1965-1969 I was Barbara Geiry. I lived at St.Elizibeths. My older sister Eileen lived in the villa. Sister Karen was at st. Elizebeths and my brother Patrick lived on the boys side I would love to talk to anyone who remembers Palasades, walking to pleasant plains to the store. and playing music in the basement. and the snow days. and such. Thanks Barbara

My grandfather worked for years in the power plant. He lived in a house in Pleasant Plains and I used to walk the railroad track to bring him lunch sometimes. This of course was back in the late 50's. I sometimes got to pull the chain that would sound the steam whistle at 12 o'clock. The old steam engines were still being used to generate electricity, but I think they were oil fired by then. If anyone remembers Henry Kreis,let me know.

To whom it may concern, my name is Beverly Pardo. I was in mount loretto along with my sister Cynthia and brother Rory from 1970 to 1975. I wish that somehow someway I could see old picures of myself and my sibling along with all the little girls I lived with. Hopefully one of you will read my letter and contact me. Nelly Rodriquez, Evelyn lopez, Annette mendaro, yvette ?. Mount Loretto has helped me in so many ways when I had no one to turn to, it has left in inpact in my life. Memories of this place will for ever live in my heart. Sinc, from B Pardo

ANYBODY REMEMBER ME OR MY BROTHER? DROP ME A LINE AT JRM7455@OPTONLINE.NET

I will never forget Father KENNY
HE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON--RAY ALEXANDER WHERE ARE YOU

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone's life has turned out as good or better than mine.

I'm searching for old friends that knew me at Mount Loretto from 1957 to 1969. I went to Tottenville High School, used to sing in a band with Jimmy Padilla (& his brother Hector), and I was even voted "Most likely to succeed" by the kids/counselors at the Mount right before I graduated high school.

Some of the old friends I have already connected with are Elsie Ramos and Joey Rios. It had been some 33 years.... amazing ! This site started the process... Thank you ! My sister Marie & I are looking for several others like Jenny Carabello, David Martin, and others.....

My Email is mcmcepete at aol.com if anyone knows someone I would know.

Thanks,

Peter Belessis
1957 to 1969

Dear Bob,
I knew your grandfather Henny Kriess very well. I tried to look up your ph but there were too many. E me when you see this I would love to talk. Henny and I spent many afternoons listening to the ball games down in the powerhouse. I use to work for him at his house there at the end of the tracks. If you like call me at 860-745-1236. I think his wife's name was Ann or that may have been his older daughter. Sonny and I use to go to the track together from time to time.

Neal

Joe Manno,
I was at the MT from Jan 51 until Sept 54 so we were there at the same time. I'm guessing you were a year older than me and we were not in the same cottages. I remember Carmine Nappa though. You may know Mike McGarry who left in 54 also. E mail me and we'll talk.

Neal Mulligan

Webmaster, Would you be kind enough to forward my two earlier posts to Mr. Koster and Mr. Manno? Thank you very much. PS You have my permission to give them my e mail address.

Neal Mulligan

MY DAUGHTER IS DOING A PROJECT ON MOUNT LORETTO. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WAS A RESIDENT, WHO WOULD LIKE TO DESCRIBE DAILY LIFE, DUTIES, ETC?

IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU

does anyone where father desaret is

i dont believe fr deserat is a priest any longer. when i spoke to fr. budwick last month i think he said that fr deserat left the priesthood.where he is now, i dont know though

Greetings,
I was wondering why the Mission of Immaculate Virgin no longer instills the vaules of the Lord in its occupants and students. In a nutshell why is the church closed. I will be visiting the Mount today with my son who has to attend school there for a short time. I looked up the history of the Mount and was surprised to learn the Church has no congregation. That is very sad. If anyone one knows the reason why please e-mail me. I think Fr. Drumgoole would be very dissapointed if he were still with us . Thank-you in advance. I can be readched at maidenryder@aol.com PEACE

Hi,

I am trying to locate records for Mt.Loretto around 1920 or 1921. My family is trying to find out if this was the place my Uncle Stephen Gribble lived. We don't know very much about his childhood,he passed away many years ago.What we do know is he was about 3 or 4 when he was put in an orphanage and remained there for 14 years until my grandfather,his brother,went to get him. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at Denise97@aol.com
Thank You,
Denise

Hi-My father's best friend (Paul Au) left a boy, Michael Au (Chinese) at ML in the 1960's. He stayed with us on weekends. He moved to California in the late 60's. Our family never heard from him again, and have always wondered what happened to him. If anyone knows, please e-mail us. thanks, Pearl Lau

My father, Salvatore Bologna, lived at Mount Loretto from 1916 to 1924, along with his brother Antonio. His parents, Antonio and Antonina Bologna, emigrated to the U.S. in 1913 aboard the SS Calabria, from Palermo. Antonio suffered a back injury doing manual labor after arrival. Their circumstances deteriorated to the point where they could not provide for their young children. Dad could still remember the day he and brother Antonio left home for Mount Loretto, a very sad day for them. He had good memories, though, especially the kindness of certain people there.
Dad and I visited Mount Loretto in 1991. Sister Isabel Marie joined us for a tour. Dad recounted how visitors arrived on a train that brought them onto the campus. He recognized many buildings. Of course, we visited the church, which had been restored somewhat after the fire.
Dad attended Tottenville High School until his senior year, when he was old enough to make the choice to leave because he wanted to get a job and help his family. He was an intelligent man who would have profited from more education.
I'm grateful there was a place like Mount Loretto that took in children of destitute families. Dad made good friends there, and he continued his friendships until he was the only one left. Dad passed away in 2000, in his 93rd year.
Anyone with information that goes back that far, I would love to hear from. Feel free to e-mail me, jdavis31@houston.rr.com.
Regards...joyce davis

Hi My Name is Lora Hernandez: I lived at Mt. Loretto from 1974 to 1977, my best friend there was Lavonia Torrence, they use to call us Salt & Pepper, we were inseperable, If anyone has any information on Lavonia, you can email me at lorajh@gmail.com I would just love to hear from her again...we lived in St. Joseph's Villa, next to Our Lady of Villa and also there was a boys house but I can't remember the name of the house, I dislocated my elbow at Mt. Loretto when I was 12 yrs old on Graduation Day, playing kick ball

Thank you in advance

My Dad, John Joseph Burke, Now 83 years old, resided at Mt. Loretto between 1932 and 1941. As we purused this site he recalled several persons, Nick Oliveri he recalls portrayed our Lord in a performance.

Pat Brosnan- I surely remember you!! Everyone in the Plains knew the Brosnans and Molly Corrigan. I worked at the Mission 1966-7 as a counselor and lived in the Plains all my young life. I remember Srs. Rosaire and Helen. Who could forget them? CarolAnn14@msn.com

I lived at Mt. Loretto to for quite a while in the 70's. I remember being quite shy and withdrawn. Then I met the most amazing man named Bill D'Ambrosio. He literally saved my life. I left Mt. Loretto when I was 17, I am now 45 and I still keep in touch. He is and always will be the father I never had. We may not be blood related, but I still call him Dad. Mt. Loretto was very good to me and I will carry many great memories. I live in California now and I plan on coming back to NY to see Bill and walk down memory lane. I want to say "Thank you, Mt. Loretto" and "Thank you, Dad".

with much love,

Koni Reyes

Hi, My Name is Anna Garcia, but most people would have remembered me as Anna Castro, or by my nickname: 'Sweet Pea'. I attended Mt. Loretta from 1965 'til 1968, which is the year I graduated. I remember Eva Gonzales & Carmen Morales and many, many others. My teachers were Mr. Kelley - Mathematics and Mr. Owens - Social Studies, Mr. Jensen - Science, & Mrs. Brown - Music teacher... Unfortunately, I cannot recall the names of all the nuns... I'm sorry to have learned that the Old Girls Dormitory was burned down in 1973... It was absolutely shocking too me, but I will always cherish the good times I had @ Mt. Loretta School... They taught me the values of becoming a successful, respectable person. If anyone remembers me, please contact me. I would love to hear from you.

My name is William Warren Hughes (Billy). I came to Mount Loretto in 1931 at almost 3 years old. While there I was housed in the 1st cottage and 2nd cottage.

I have wonderful memories of Sister Leenteen, (sorry if spelling is incorrect), who was in charge of the first cottage.

I moved to the second cottage in 1935. I left Mount Loretto July 6,1937.

I met a contempory alumnus of the Mount in 1945. His name is Billy Farell. We were in the Navy at that time. We were stationed at Newport, Rhode Island. We played two on two basketball, We enjoyed the reunion. Unfortunately, we lost touch.

Father Kenny was a newly arived very popular priest in 1936. Am I correct? Did he not spend the balace of his dedicated life at Mount Loretto?

Monsignor Patrick A. O'Boyle was in charge of the institution at that time. I can't remember the name Monssignor's name who preceded Monsignor O'Boyle.

The entire farm operation was in full swing, while I was there during the Great Depresion of the 1930s. The economic stresses of the Depression were the chief reasons my widowed mother had the Court place me in Mount Loretto.

Most of Staten Island, excludig St. George was then quite as rural as Iowa. I have often reminded my grandchildren.

I remember the beautiful chucrh in which I received first communion and confirmation.
I was very sad to find that it had been burned and destroyed.

I was in a theater watching the film, "The Godfather", when I thought I recognized the white gazebo, or band stand in the field near the Church. Two days later I realized that I knew that site. It was Mount Loretto.

I remember two white, framed cottages some way down the unpaved path,passed the baseball field, and the dinnig rooms. These two buildings, I felt were in the woods. One of the was a quarantine for newly arrived children, and the other was for ayone afflicted with a contagious ailment. I spent time there on several occasions, becasue I, unfortunately, was acutely allergic to poisin ivy. I must admit, on several occasions, I wiped the poisin ivy leaves on my arms and legs in order to return to that bucalic peaceful environment.

Do I remember Father Pavis from 1943 to 1945 at Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx?

It is a joy to send this message to those of you at Mount Loretto.

I remain, sincerely,
William w. Hughes

my sister was Beta Pabon and brother was Gus
which was Mike Garcia, I wanted to say hello to all of the people I grow up with and right
now I am married and have a wounderful 10 month and 2 week little girl. I live in St.Anthony's College and always think of the
good times I had.

I sit here trying to think of what to say. I have read everything posted here and It brings up feelings I had thought I put behind me. It would be great to know what happned to my friends. I was there with my brother Stanley and latter Rudy joined us. My sister Cindy was also there on the girls side. I am thinking it was from about late 63 to late 68. I started in 1st house and later went to 6th house. I went to Saint Als, never could spell the name. I do remember I had a good friend Mike Medina this was in 6th house top dorm.

My name is Josephine Maldonado,I was raised in Mount Loretto from 1966 to 1979. I was in St. Elizabeth - the baby group, the juniors, the intermediates, and then the Villa, then went to a group home in Staten Island.

My brothers (John, victor & Mitchell) and sister(Toni)were also raised at the mount.

There are several people on this site that I remember and have been trying to find.

Lillian Paniagua and her brother Felix, Irma Maldoando, Donna Sicka, Karen Cusack, Karen Toomey, Andrew Santana, too many to mention, The Roman sisters (Anna, Maritza, Niomi) The Rodriguez sisters (Edna Luxi, Nancy), The other Rodrigues sisters (Roseann, Josephine, Cathy, Victor Vargas, Etc... too many to mention.
