Paco Gonzales proudly shared his First Communion class photo with the Facebook community. The photo was taken in 1976 at St Joseph Church, Edinburg, Texas. The church is in the Brownsville Diocese, which was established nine years before this picture was taken. (In 1965, it was created after Cameron, Willacy, Hidalgo and Starr Counties were separated from the territory of the Diocese of Corpus Christi.) There are so many things I love about this photo. The boys’ white jackets, white shoes and leisure suits. All the pretty veils and crows. Did you spot the twins in the picture? I also love the priest’s biretta.
