  Assumption Hall, Spring Hill College, the Jesuit students' residence.  I lived there 1962-1965 with ca. 150 fellow Jesuits.  It has been torn down and replaced with a colony of attractive student apartments.   Did the college not want to make  it a historical monument??

Special Announcement: We are moving, September 6

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.  This is the last Sunday In San Vino.

Check the map:    View this photo

EVERY MINUTE WITH LOVE, TRUST, GRACE AND GRATITUDE.
