St. Mary's Parochial School, 7485 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida - click on image to enter

I attended St. Mary's Parochial School, established in 1938, from September 1953 to June 1957 (1st through 4th grades).

I have the 1951 St. Mary's yearbook, when St. Mary's was a high school and before I started 1st grade, which I will scan in the future. And just as interesting, Sylvia Carmellini Spader, who attended St. Mary's with me in 1st through 4th grades and who is now the friend who goes the furthest back in time with me, has promised some photos when she returns to the Miami area this fall. Sylvia's high school photo from Notre Dame Academy is below.

Due to the span of years, the only friends that I remember from St. Mary's are Sylvia Carmellini Spader who lived in the Little River area in a home with huge oak trees, Maureen Shannon who lived on NE 71st Street between Miami Avenue and NE 2nd Avenue and Peter Priest who went on to become an airline pilot.

Marie Roper here. Loved these pictures but would have loved to see some of the old school building and the old church. I was married in the new Cathedral in 1961. I spent two years at St.Mary's then went to Notre Dame Academy and graduated from there in 1957. I came to Miami from Brooklyn about 1954, went to St. Mary's and took piano lessons from one of the nuns in the convent for a while. Carolyn Hornyak and I (9th grade, I think) were walking over to the old church with our class to sing in the choir upstairs in the church, then met a couple of boys in a convertible that Carolyn knew from her neighborhood who went to Miami Edison and were just driving by. We jumped in their car, rode around for a while then they dropped us back at school and we went back to class. Can you believe it? All true. No one, including the nun who was walking us over there, missed us! What a hoot!

I started at St Marys in 59. My situation was kind of unique because my 1st grade teacher was also my aunt, Sister Mary Helen SSJ. The ONLY name I remember as far as friends was Barbara Kern in the 1st grade. I remember I was in the choir for 3 years but don't remember details. I attended 1st to 5th grade, went to Shenandoah for the 6th grade then 7th and 8th grade at St Marys. I was the kid that always got picked on, made fun of and called names.My mom passed in 1980 and I left FL in 1983. I also left the faith in 1976 and have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. I doubt anybody even remembers me but I got curious and found this site. By any remote chance if you remember me and want to send me a message please do. My maiden name is Pavlou and my first name starts with a "B".

Attended St Marys from 1948 (1st grade Sister Mary Raphael) through 9th grade (Miss Able). Still have the report cards. Would love to see pictures of the old church. Ed Johnsen

Bob, I'll pass your message on to Antolin. He is the guest curator at History Miami and the driving force behind their Aviation in Miami - 100 years exhibit that is opening tonight. We talked last night at the preview opening and know each other from working for the Aviation Department at MIA. Small world!

Bob Sara		17-Apr-2011 21:58
Antolin, we know each other from St Mary's days. We had classes together, and hung out together at lunch and recess.I taught you how to ride the motorcycle you got in seventh or eighth grade. And I had been to your house many times. I believe you went to Belen after we graduated. I went to Msgr Pace, and we lost touch with each other. I hope you are well.

Antolin Garcia Carbonell		26-Jan-2011 23:33
I attended St. Mary's from September 1964 (4th grade) to 1966 when I graduated (8th grade). My teachers were: 4th Grade Mrs. Elliot 5th Grade Sister Anne Bernadette 6th Grade Mrs. Kaiser 7th Grade Sister Rita Joseph 8th Grade Mrs. Carrie Melli

Archer		22-Aug-2010 18:20
I attended St. Mary's in the 5th. and 6th. grades in 1947 and 1948 brfore we moved to the SW section of Miami. My 5th. grade teacher was Mrs. Hartford and Sister Regis (?) in the 6th. grade. Thats about all I remember while passing thru.

Guest		04-Jul-2010 16:25
some time ago a fellow identifying himself as Joe,can't remember the last name saw my inquiries about Ellen Oconnor called me and said that both she and Ann Hughes no longer appeared on social security rolls..so that would be definite corroboration I guess.

Don Boyd		15-Jun-2010 14:51
I'm sorry to hear that, Rich. Thank you for keeping us updated. Don

Guest		15-Jun-2010 09:11
I believe the Ellen Oconnor I was searching for has passed away.I spoke a day or two ago with this Ellen Oconnor in Thomasville and she informed me that my Ellen Oconoor was ahead of her at school and that she did not live in the little yellow house diagonally across the the street from the church. RIP my Ellen.

Doug Johnson Jr		22-May-2010 19:27
Wanted to see if anyone remembers members of the Johnson family from Hialeah. I saw a photo that had Albert and Stella Johnson together in one of the 9th grade 1940 Hialeah photos in Don Boyd's collection but the youngest, Douglas, had attended St Marys He went into the navy around 1945 so attended prior to that year. He speaks fondly of this school as his best memories and will try to get more details.

These are great shots. I loved see Sr. Leo again. unfortunately I haven't been back to Miami since I left in 1970. these brought back memories. Jacqueline (Lynn) McLain irish18@mindspring.com

Sylvia (Urbizo) McGowan		22-Apr-2010 00:33
I remember St. Mary's with such fond memories. I attended 1971 through 1977 moving on for a brief stay at Notre Dame Academy. Though I do not live in Miami I always drive by St. Mary's when back visiting family. I am happily maried for near 30 years. Wow how time flys.

Don Boyd		28-Nov-2009 07:38
Jose, that's amazing and I thank you for writing. From the sounds of it you were in the same grade (4th) as me in 1956 and 1957 but I don't remember your name after all this time has passed. Not only that but you lived around the corner from me. I lived at 70 NE 70th Street at the time which was a block and a half north of you and half a block east of you. I was an altar boy too but only briefly due to getting in some kind of trouble in school but I remember the High Mass when Bishop Carroll was installed. And your memory of names is excellent. Perhaps someday someone you mention will write in. Thanks for posting your memories and good luck to you in Venezuela! Don

Jose Camejo		28-Nov-2009 05:48
I attended St. Mary's Parochial School from 1956 to 1960 ( 4th. through 8th. grades ). In '56 & '57, I lived at 6811 North Miami Ave. and then moved to Miami Shores. In 1960 my Father died, and we came back to Venezuela. Two years later I went back to Miami, and graduated from Miami Edison in 1966. I read a post by Richard Pleger who I remember well. I also recall the names of Maureen Shannon, Nora Otero, Larry Moyen, Joey Walker, Tommy Smith, Sister Mary Regis, Sister John Vincent. I was a Choir and Altar Boy ( I served in the High Mass when Bishop Carrol was ordained ), and member of Boy Scout Troop 8 ( we sold the X mas trees across from the Cathedral ). I'm now living in Venezuela. jrcamejo@yahoo.com

Jewell...might you remember going north on Collins to Sunny Isles and parking to watch the "submarine races"???LOL!! Rich Cooper

Jewell		26-Oct-2009 13:57
My brothers, sister, and I attended St. Mary's in 1940. I was there 5 years and I remember Fr. Roche, who was a tall imposing man and constantly asked for money for the "new church," which eventually became the cathedral. The small church where we all attended mass was hot, but we had cardboard fans from the funeral home to wave away the bugs and generate a faint breeze. Our family lived directly across from the field in a very old two story home that must have once been a farm house. It sat far back and up on a knoll. Everyone called it the haunted house. My sister went to school with Ralph Renick and he was one of the first newscasters on the very new TV station of that time. I think it was Channel 4. I don't remember any of my teachers except for fourth grade, Sister Cecilia, and maybe that was because she slapped me! I don't remember what I did but obviously I said something inappropriate. I have some photos from that time, my brothers were all altar boys and I have written extensively about that time period in regards to my family. Afterwards I went on to school at Sts. Peter and Paul. I have fond memories of Miami from that time, the Rosetta Theater, the Royal Castle, going across the 79th St causeway when it was a barren strip of land and going to the lonely deserted beaches on Miami Beach until gas rationing made it difficult to drive. I was born in 1936 and anyone who is from my era is welcome to contact me.

In memorium: Mary Ellen Oconnor class of 1951 Rest in peace dear lady.

Claudia Juliao Cano		04-Sep-2009 00:36
I attentedSt. Mary's from 1st to 8th grade along with my brother and three sisters. I was the youngest and attended from 1968 to 1975. I have lost contact with everyone and it's a shame. It was a wonderful school and it would be nice to connect with my previous classmates. I currently live in Broward county.

Guest		11-Aug-2009 17:45
Come on!!Somebody out there must know something about Ellen Oconnor.

Don Boyd		23-Jul-2009 03:30
And Margaret, if you ever find that yearbook I would love to scan it or have you send me scans of the pages so I can add them to this website. Thanks. Don

Ray Grafflin		22-Jul-2009 09:33
Hi Margaret, I have been away in Prague and only just noticed your posting! If you went to your Senior Prom, then we must have met, I had a bid from Ralph Renick (we were neighbors) and took a girl named Martha as my date. It was really embarrassing, my dad drove us to the venue and came and collected us! We made the photos as "cutest couple" - uggh! I think I was posted as the class "clown", makes me shudder to remember! If you had any pix of the prom, I would really like to see them. Faint hope I guess. I notice that everyone now realizes that Ralph was an early tv presenter, as well as a really nice gentleman.

Guest		08-Jul-2009 15:21
Margaret Olson..I guess then that Ellen Oconnor was too far behiind you ,huh? Although she did have an older sister and brother. Rich Cooper

Margaret Roepken Olson		26-Jun-2009 16:41
I attended St. Mary's from 1939 to graduation in 1946. There were 20 of us in the graduation class. Somewhere I have a year book. I graduated with Ralph Renick, James Guilland, Bobby Joseph, Bill King, Joyce Bellow, Mary Ann Pahl and others. I remember Sister Anna Joseph, Sister Mary Francis. My favorite was Sister Regis in 6th grade who taught us how to parse a sentence. Delighted that the school still exists.

Guest		13-Jun-2009 14:14

Ray Grafflin		04-Jun-2009 14:13
Rich, I don't remenber a lot of names, but Ralph Renick, Gilda Jordan, James Sweeney wer'e there when I was, perhaps that may help. Also, Daryl Fleeger, he is in central florida somewhere. Wish I could do better for you. I was Army so don't blame me for the darn "Greyhound Bus Drivers" (sic) bad manners!

Tiffany		03-Jun-2009 20:41
I attended St. Mary's from K-8th that was from 80-89... I would really like to get in contact with anyone that attended school there. I have so many fond memories . If anyone knows Danny Pierre-Louis I would love to get in contact with him.

Guest		03-Jun-2009 14:32
Ray..Ellen OConnor was born in 1933 so she might be near your age..do you know anyone who might have been at school in 1951 or just prior ? She dropped me for an air force guy and gave me the ring back..just wanted to see if she was still alive and wish her health and happiness. I wasn't Catholic but I would have converted for her..anything you might add would be appreciated.. Rich Cooper fergie0082@aol.com I'm in Orlando

Ray Grafflin		03-Jun-2009 10:00
Nice to find this site! I attended from 1940 thru 1945 and I believe Sr St.Joseph was our Principal, I remember a Mr Herzog who taught Latin but I think he came to a bad end. Father Roach was the parish priest at my time, I think he would have been responsible for the elevation of the church to a Cathedral.

Ricrd Cooper		23-May-2009 14:52
Does anybody remember that little yellow (?) house on the sw corner and across from the rectory? That's where Ellen Oconnor lived.

Don Boyd		20-May-2009 19:29
I remember your name Richard because I think we were in the same class(es) when I was there. I couldn't remember it until you wrote it. Don

Richard Pfleger		20-May-2009 17:40
I went to St Mary's from first to 8 grade the years 1954 to 1961 and then to Curley. My sister and brothers all went to St. Mary's. Sister then to Notre Dame and brothers to Edison. Now live in Atlanta 678.777.3030

Bob Sara		21-Apr-2009 18:59
Don, it's great to see St Mary's here. I went there from '58 to graduation in '66, then on to Msgr Pace in Opa-locka. I remember Mrs Sikes kindergarten class, and Sister Ann Bernadette for 5th, 7th, and 8th grade. I think we had two principals while I was there, Sister Mary Esther and Sister Mary Agnes. Boy, we all sure sold alot of Worlds Finest Choc. Candy Bars to pay for the bell in the Cathedral tower! After school, my cousins and I walked up 2nd Ave past the Bowlarama to catch the Coast City Coach bus on 79th Street to take us home. In my last year there, I got a motorcycle for my birthday in Dec of '65, and I rode it to school. The Sisters let me park it next to the Convent. Hope some others from our era might find some pictures for you to post. Thanks, Don, for this great site.

Don Boyd		29-Mar-2009 07:32
Thanks Emilio, I appreciate the time you took to post that "trivia" for us! Don

Emilio		29-Mar-2009 06:17
I went to St. Mary's for only one year, 6th grade in the 79-80 school year. Then I went to St. Joseph's in Miami Beach then Curley HS. I lived in the Little River area and would sometimes walk home from school. Our teacher was Mrs. Wetzel. One day a TV news crew interviewed some of our class to ask how we felt about the Iran hostage crisis (this was 1979) and the Americans being held hostage. I think the Pope visited St. Mary's when he came to Miami around 84 or 85. I know some time in the 80s my friend met Don Johnson at St. Mary's when he was filming a scene from Miami Vice. There is a scene in one episode where a baby is being baptized and I know it's at St. Mary's because I recognized the priest who was doing the baptism. Just some interesting trivia.

vikki ricciardelli-mcgowan		31-Dec-2008 15:36
My late husband Pat McGowan and his brothers Larry and Terry and sister Lynn, all went to St. Mary's in the late 50's to 60's. Their mother Martha went to church every Sunday until her death in 2/78. My family went to St James from the time it was the little church in the 50's.

Maurice Helou		20-Dec-2008 15:54
Don My sister Loraine and I went to St Marys in early to mid 1950's I was expelled and Loraine stayed' I then went to Shadowlawn and the on to Edison Jr. and Sr. high CO '59. I have recently made contact with Dianne Boudreau (sp?) who also went to St Marys. I found your pics great and brought back a lot of memories. Did you ever know or here of a fellow who hung around the Miami Beach hotels and Motels in the Surfside area named :Strech". he was a "beachcomer" and drove an outlandishly painted van in brights colors and had beach stuff attached to it?

Randy		15-Dec-2008 06:05
It really makes me feel good that several of you have made connections. I went to St Mary's for church services for a while, then to St. James. I also attended Annunciation in N Dade and then Chaminade in Hollywood for HS. Those were great years and I am eternally greatful to my parents for making that sacrifice in tuition payments. Both of my children attend Trinity Cath here in Tallahassee. Good luck to all in your search.

Dear Don, I was so happy to find your webpage. I was at St. Mary's from 1969 through 1976 for grades 1st through 8th. I went on to high school at Archbishop Curley. I still live in Miami, but never get the chance to go up to St. Mary's. I think I will now after looking through your site. Brought tears to my eyes. Regards, Frank Castro

No problem Rich, there's just so many hours in a day and I really get behind in the photo work among other things. I'll try to do the scans later today and it will be tomorrow at the latest. I'll post smaller versions on here and send you the larger versions in high resolution that you can get printed. Don

You're in luck! It's the 1951 yearbook. She was a senior and it has a photo and comments next to her. She was also on the basketball team with a team photo plus she may be elsewhere in the yearbook. I'll scan it in a day or two and put it up on the site. I'll send you larger photos than the website to your e-mail address. Don

There have been no responses yet Rich. I surely don't delete responses of people looking for people or people responding to other viewers. Give it time - someone will respond someday but it would help to know how old she is by giving us the year she was born or graduated from high school or the year she was in whatever grade. Don

I remember you well. I have a photo of our 3rd grade class. Remember Sister Maria Carmela? I graduated from Notre Dame Academy and worked for 25 years at Hiram Walker's. I live 6 months in Nova Scotia and 6 months in Coral Gables. We sold our home in Little River in 1991, but it still looks the same. We sold it to an Italian. He fixed it up, but left the yard just the way it was. The oaks are soooo beautiful still. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
