Catholic Central

This is what is left of the Detroit Catholic Central site from which Dad graduated. CC has been in five locations (corner of Harper and Woodward from 1928 to 1934; the site Dad went to from 1934 until 1951; Outer Drive from 1951 to 1978; Redford from 1978 until 2006; and now in Novi). The site Poppa went to was given to CC by the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Msgr. LeFever let me walk through the Cathedral and take pictures. You will also see a picture of a picture of the school as it looked when Dad went there (that stood where the parking lot is in the picture to the left). Dad likely went to Mass in this beautiful cathedral and also likely gave his valedictorian address there as well. Although the neighborhood is now very bad, the homes around this site are huge and where the Fords, Kresges and other wealthy families of Detroit lived when Dad was in high school (I've included a picture of one of the homes). I AM POSTING SO MUCH THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO LOOK TO THE ARCHIVED POSTS ON RIGHT OF HOME PAGE TO SEE SOME OF TODAY'S PICTURES.
