From the Archives First Communion Day

Youngsters pose with Father Michael T. Shea on their First Communion Day in 1912 at Holy Trinity Parish in New Albany. Father Shea, a son of St. Joseph Parish in Indianapolis, was ordained in 1905 at Louvain, Belgium. He was the assistant pas- tor at Holy Trinity at the time of this photo. He died in 1926 at the age of 44. Holy Trinity Church, built in 1851, burned to the ground on Dec. 29, 1975. Located less than two blocks from St. Mary Parish in New Albany, the church was not rebuilt and the two congregations merged. St. Mary currently has about 1,000 households and 2,400 Catholics. Father William Ernst is pastor. †
