Today’s Vintage Catholic posting is a little booklet commemorating a young woman’s reception of the sacraments. It says “Juliette” on the back, so I’m thinking it belonged to my great aunt’s – my mother’s mother’s sister. It’s in English, which is interesting to me because while they were living in the United States by that time (having emigrated from Quebec), almost all of the devotional material I have from that side is in French, they were all French speakers, and I know from my mother that Catholic life was conducted in French (and Latin). (My mother went to both Catholic and public grammar schools in Maine during the 1930′s – the public school days were all in English, the Catholic, half in French, half in English).
