St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church and School are asking residents to share their historic photos, old yearbooks, uniforms and other memorabilia of the early decades of the church and school.
Since 1941, St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Parish has provided a rich tradition of “Faith, Excellence and Service” to the greater Delray Beach community.
This coming school year, St. Vincent Ferrer will be celebrating a Diamond Jubilee commemorating the 60th anniversary of the school, 75th anniversary of the church, and 50th anniversary of the parish festival.
The Diamond Jubilee Committee is collecting memorabilia that will be displayed on campus and during the gala celebration on Jan. 23, 2016.
The archives being sought are all years, especially from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. It can be anything from old photos, uniforms, yearbooks, parish festival (formally know as the “Bazaar”) items, books, events, and ministry memorabilia. Committee members also are searching for alumni and their relatives who can help identify some of the students and faculty members whose images were captured in early photographs.
To share memories or memorabilia with St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church and School, contact Julie Ott, director of stewardship and development at 276-6892 Ext. 308 or stewardship@stvincentferrer.com.
