I am trying to track down Julio Gonzales who was at ST. Agatha’s in the early 70s. My family would foster him on weekends until we moved overseas . He would be around 60 years old by now. Does anyone remember him or know how I can try to connect with him?

Hi! It might be a long shot but I came across this and figured why not see if anyone knows her. My great grandma Muriel Losefsky was listed as living here in 1940 which I had never known of until finding her census records. I was wondering if by any chance someone has information that might be relevant to me. Thanks

I am here to sadly post of Barbara Tribocki's Passing on Friday May 12th, in Buffalo, NY. She was sent to the heavens to see her one of her sons and one of her daughters and to be free of the pain.

I was there with 4 siblings Maria, Michelle were in 72, my brothers were Anthony and Leroy. They were in 15 Cardinal Hayes. I have many memories. I remember all of the sporting events, kickball and dodgeball. I’d go down the the barn to help with the horses. I remember the older girls sneaking in the pool. They always got caught.

1972 July 4th, about 9 us decided to storm the church looking for matches for our fire crackers. All was well until someone called security. We were in the Nuns Dooms 3rd floor I believe. Security came and stormed the church. Most kids were caught. 3 of us left hiding. Two were caught and dragged out. last one decided to rat me out. I was well hidden but I was ratted out. I approached the kid and said a few colorful words to him with a few extra hand signals. I was made to view fire works in front of DePaul in the grass with my Pajamas. I have lots more stories.
They were great days in St. Agatha

Every Christmas holiday I find myself telling the story of the Secret Santa for St. Agatha, during my time therre. The company in Pearl River, that was Lederle Laboratories, and became Wyeth Labs, would invite us kids to write and ask for something we wanted for Christmas. We could ask for $3 and $5 gifts. I always think that's funny because young kids don't know how much things cost generally. Kids would ask for bikes, roller skates, sleds, o ne boy at least asked for a BB gun. Nelson Rosado said he asked for a remote controlled tank, I believe, or car, and he got it! He had been at St. Agatha since he was 2, and never went "Home" for holidays, though occasionally he went with a volunteer. He was the envy of all the kids. Like with movie and music stars, love and envy can turn to hate. A coupld of boys ganged up on him, took the car away from him, and drove it into the "Pond" where kids swam. It was a gonner, and it broke Nelson's heart.
How about you, do you have a memorable story to share about your

It seems the group is getting smaller and smaller. I met in person 3 people that were there in St. Agatha since 2022. I was there 71-74. There will never be another St. Agatha again the way it used to be. Sure do miss all of the things at St. Agatha. So many stories to tell, but who would listen. You all take care. I believe there were close to 300 Home Kids when I was there.

I am have been trying to obtain my graduation picture since 1957. I hope I can finally see my friends.
Thanks George Rudy PGA Golf Pro.
