Shrine News Summer 2006

Bull and Oyster Roast

Time is running out to purchase tickets for this event scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 8, 2006 at
Martin’s East on Pulaski Highway from 1 until 5 p.m. For the incredibly low price of $35 per
person you can join hundreds of Shrine of the Little Flower alumni and parishioners who will
be celebrating the 80^th anniversary of the founding of our historic parish. No tickets will be
sold at the door. Deadline for ticket sales is Sept. 30.

Music for this gala event will be provided by Railway Express.

Pastor Father Mike Orchik has generously moved Little Flower Sunday from Oct. 1 to
coincide with our date in order to accommodate those wishing to attend the 11 a.m. Mass
prior to attending the festivities at Martin’s East.

The 75^th anniversary party was a sellout and brisk ticket sales are indicating that this year’s
event is fast approaching that goal. We ask that you don’t delay. Buy your tickets NOW.
Tables for a party of 10 can be reserved upon your request.

Checks should be made payable to the Little Flower Alumni and mailed to Shrine of the Little
Flower, 2854 Brendan Avenue, Baltimore, Md. 21213 along with the form at the bottom.
Questions should be directed to Susan Scheerer, 410-488-7169

Alumni Association

Membership in our organization continues to grow. We are quickly closing in on 600. Our
goal is to assist Father Mike’s effort to maintain The Shrine of the Little Flower as a viable
part of the Belair/Edison community.

To that end we again extend an invitation to all graduates as well as former and current
members to join our group for the low cost of $10. annually. Yearly membership runs from
Sept. through Aug. 31.

Because of the increase in mailing expense the Newsletter will be published just twice a year
and sent ONLY to those on our membership rolls. The cost of mailing our newsletter is well
over $1,000.00. If there are any individuals or businesses willing to make a donation to help
offset the cost, your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

If you prefer to receive the Newsletter via e-mail, please contact Susan Hitzelberger Scheerer
at littlefloweralum@comcast.net. Many thanks to those who have joined our ranks. Your
membership is greatly appreciated.

SHRINE NEWS FALL 2005

Inaugural Issue

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Shrine News, the first of what we hope will be many
quarterly newsletters to be published for alumni and friends of the Shrine of the Little
Flower parish.

From the first graduating class in 1933 to the final one this past June, almost 10,000
students passed through the hallowed halls on Brendan Avenue. And, although the school
has been closed by the Archdiocese, the church remains a viable entity in the Belair-
Edison community.

To that end, the Shrine News is one way to stay in touch. You'll read about what's
happening with your classmates, learn about upcoming Reunions and other events and
discover all the positive stories about the parish.

Little Flower Sunday

All graduates of the Shrine of the Little Flower and their families are invited to attend the
11 a.m. Mass on Sunday, October 2 to honor the patron Saint of the parish. Father Mike
Orchik, Little Flower pastor, will celebrate the Mass which annually draws many former
Students. Following the Mass an informal gathering will be held at the Red Brick Station
restaurant at the Avenue in White Marsh.

80th Anniversary

Next year will mark the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Shrine of the Little
Flower parish. Plans are currently being formulated to celebrate the occasion with a
Bull/Oyster Roast next fall. It will be held on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2006 at Martin's East on
Pulaski Highway from 1 to 5 PM. The price and menu have yet to be determined.

Alumni Association

In order to keep in touch with the many Little Flower graduates living throughout
Maryland and in other states, a group of graduates from various classes has formed an
alumni association with an office located in the parish rectory. If you are interested in
joining the organization, which is open to all graduates, parishioners and former
parishioners, we ask that you complete the enclosed application and return it along with a
$10 donation to help defray the production and mailing costs of our quarterly newsletter.
Checks should be made payable to the Little Flower Alumni and mailed to: Shrine of the
Little Flower, 2800 Brendan Ave., Baltimore, MD 21213.

The Alumni Association officers include Bob Campbell (Chairman), Betty Piotrkowski
(Treasurer), Susan Scheerer (Secretary), Marie Kelly (At Large), Dennis Meadowcroft
(At Large), Tim Pugh (At Large), Jim Durkin (At Large) and Frank Lynch (At Large).

Please offer your suggestions and ideas to help us locate other Little Flower alumni so we
can place them on our mailing list. You can do so by calling Bob Campbell at 410-933-
3666. Tell him if you are interested in becoming a contact person for your class.

New School

As most of you have already know, the Archdiocese decided earlier this year to close
Little Flower, St. Dominic and St. Anthony schools and form a cluster school. The new
school. Mother Mary Lange, opened this school year on the campus of St. Anthony of
Padua in Gardenville. Each of the three parishes must contribute $15,000 annually to the
new school. Our Alumni Association will assist Father Mike to meet those expenses with
several fund raisers throughout the year.

Old School

Future use of the parish school and convent has yet to be determined. Several charter
schools have expressed interest and a possibility exists that they might be converted into
an assisted living facility. All transactions are being handled by the Archdiocese.

Shrine News Summer 2007 Back by popular demand

We’ve listened to your request. Back by popular demand is the Bull/Oyster roast
sponsored by the Shrine of the Little Flower Alumni Association.

This year’s event will be held again at Martin’s East on Sunday, Oct.7. For your
added enjoyment, we have added an hour (Noon to 5 p.m.) for this year’s gala and
upgraded the menu to include oyster stew and fried oysters. The "open bar" will remain.

For you Ravens fans, please be advised that Baltimore will be on the west coast
facing the San Francisco 49ers. No conflict here.

Martin’s East has increased its charge to us by $5 per person. With that in mind,
the committee voted to increase ticket prices to $40 per person.

Also, if you feel lucky, fill out the enclosed 50/50 raffle tickets ($2 each or three
for $5) and return them no later than September 30. The drawing will be held at the
Bull/Oyster Roast.

Last year’s event was a sellout and we expect it will be again this year. We
suggest you purchase your tickets ASAP so you won’t miss out. We’ve been told that the
Classes of 1947 and 1952 will use the roast as their Reunion. Other classes are invited to
do the same.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

The words "thank you" were flying in all directions in the weeks following the
Little Flowers Alumni Association’s first-ever Bull/Oyster Roast last October.

First, it was Bob Campbell, the alumni chairman, thanking all those who attended
the event; purchased raffle tickets; or made generous contributions. Secondly, it was the
many members who took time to call or send e-mails expressing their delight about the
success of the event. Finally, it was Rev. Mike Orchik displaying humble gratitude while
accepting a check in the amount of $7,500.

The amount was reached by a combination of all the profits ($4,501.87) from the
event along with special donations ($1,610.00), money raised from providing school
records ($470.00) and some of the money ($918.13) already in our treasury from
membership dues. Our balance currently stands at $5,133.00.

A total of 449 tickets were sold giving us an income of $15,715.00. Expenses
amounted to $13,513.13 included the charge from Martin’s East, the orchestra and
miscellaneous items. Our profit on that portion of the event was $2,201.62. The raffle
cleared $1,362.00. We collected $525.25 from the roulette and black jack tables, another
$223.00 from the Big Six wheel, plus $144.00 from instant bingo and $46.00 from the
photograph table.

Special Thanks

Once again, several alumni members stepped forward to make additional
financial contributions. Charles Zeiler, Tom Neubauer, George & Janice Eckhardt Kane
and Ellen Rehak were extremely generous to our cause.

New Committee Members

Joann DiBattistaAdkins (Class of 1971) and Charles Zeiler (Class of 1964) have
been added to the Alumni Committee bringing the total membership to ten. The
committee will once again be chaired by Bob Campbell (Class of 1953). Betty
Piotrkowski (Class of 1949) was reappointed as treasurer, while Susan Hitzelberger
Scheerer (Class of 1963) will remain in charge of membership.

Membership Dues

This is a reminder that dues for 2007 are currently being accepted. The $10 fee is
used mainly to cover mailing cost of the Shrine News and to be used for deposits for scheduled events.

We currently have 294 members. If you forgot to "re-up" don’t delay. We’d like
to surpass the 500 mark this year. A list of current members is enclosed. If you feel your
name has been omitted, please contact Bob Campbell at 410-933-3666. Annual
membership begins Jan.1 and runs through Dec. 31. Make your check payable to Little
Flower Alumni and send it along with the attached form.

Church Doors

After several conversations with Father Mike about future goals for money
raised by the Little Flower Alumni, it has been decided to target the ten (10) doors of the
church. Fifty-five years of all type of weather have taken a toll on these once beautiful
doors.

We have received several estimates to refinish these ornate doors to their
original beauty. The best price is $40,000, which will include their removal, replacement
doors put up during the refinishing process and their re-hanging.

To meet the cost, we are launching a Pledge Program, which will consist of the
following categories:

            St. Theresa - $500 or more.
            Monsignor Larkin - $250 to $499.
            Sisters of St. Francis - $100 to $249.
            Father Orchik – Under $100.

Those pledging $500 or more will have their name placed on a plaque which will
be placed on a wall in the vestibule of the church. All other donors will be listed in a
souvenir booklet, which will be distributed to all alumni members.

Class of 1950

The Shrine of the Little Flower class of 1950 has scheduled a reunion for
Sunday, September 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Christopher Daniel’s Restaurant at 106
West Padonia Road in Timonium.

The restaurant offers an outstanding buffet which features all kinds of cooked-
to-order breakfast foods, carved beef, carved pork tenderloin, raw bar, antipasto, salads,
fresh fruit, assorted bagels, breads, muffins, Danish, cereals, sodas, teas and coffee. Everything is included for the price of $30 per person.

Classmates planning to attend should send a check to Marty Horak at 57
Windemere Parkway, Phoenix, MD 21131.

Classmates having any questions concerning this event should contact anyone on
the committee. They are as follows: Marty Horak at 410-592-2885, Warren Bayne at
410-771-8281, June Danaher at 410836-7618, Iris Turner at 410-945-9165, Bob Geissler
at 410-987-1571 and Carolyn Fick Stetka at 410-665-2291.

Baseball Fan

Are you a baseball fan? Are you married to a baseball fan? Do you know a
baseball fan? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we have info for you.

Frank Lynch (Class of 1953) has written a book about the Baltimore Orioles
covering the last ten years (1944 to1953) the team played in the International League. It
contains interviews with former Orioles Al Cihocki and Eddie Robinson and the late
Chuck Thompson, who was the team’s play-by-play announcer from five seasons.

The book is currently on sale at Greeting & Readings in Hunt Valley; at the
Barnes & Noble store in Bel Air and at both the Babe Ruth Museum and Sports Legends
at Camden Yards. It is also available on line at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com and
publishamerica.com.

The book will soon be a permanent feature on the shelves of all Harford County
Public Libraries.

Remember the Shrine

The Shrine of the Little Flower asks all alumni and parishioners to kindly
remember the parish when writing their wills and doing their estate planning. The legal
title is Shrine of the Little Flower Roman Catholic Congregation, Incorporated.

A generous donation will help the parish provide for its future while continuing
to serve the community both spiritually and physically. The church thanks those who
have already included it in their wills.

Going, going, gone!

After 80 years of serving the community of Belair Road, Seidel’s Bowling
Lanes closed its doors to the public on May 21. The decision was made due to a severe
drop in attendance and a series of armed robberies.

Business peaked in the post-World War II years when the duckpin house played
host to numerous leagues including many made up of parents of children who attended
the Shrine of the Little Flower.

Its closing leaves only one duckpin house in Baltimore city. Patterson Lanes,
near the intersection of Eastern Ave. and Chester Street on the border between Fells Point
and Canton, still draws ample numbers of people to keep it operating at a profit.

Seidel’s once catered to all ages including several youth leagues as well as
several women’s leagues. It was a meeting place for neighborhood youngsters for many
years.

It was the place of strikes, spares and first dates. It will be missed by Little
Flower alumni as much Vilma Lanes, Vilma Theatre, Mayfield Music, White Tower,
Blue Bowl Bakery and the Arundel Ice Cream Store.

Take a few moments to recall those happy days of your youth.

August 22, 2007

Dear Alumni,

As we move into the late stages of summer, we at Little Flower are looking forward to
another year of activity as a parish family.

Among the events to which we look forward is the annual Bull and Oyster Roast for
alumni and parishioners. The Roast was well attended last year and a great time was had by all.

As we did last year, we are holding the Roast on "Little Flower Sunday", the day when we
honor our patron, St. Theresa. The 11:00 Mass that day will be our annual celebration of our
patron saint’s entrance into glory.

We hope that many of our parishioners and alumni will attend the 11:00 Mass that day
before going to the Roast.

In accordance with that wish, I would like to extend an additional invitation to our alumni
to attend Mass with us on other occasions. Many of our classes have attended Mass when
celebrating significant reunion years and we have been most pleased to welcome them.

At the same time, we would hope that some could attend even more regularly, such as
on a monthly basis. There are some alumni who have actually returned to active membership at
Little Flower and are attending Mass here regularly.

I realize that many of you have established roots in other parishes, but it would be
appreciated if you could join us from time to time. I know that our alumni are most grateful for the
blessings they received at Little Flower School, and your attendance at the Shrine would certainly
express that appreciation.

Thank you for your continued interest in your Alma Mater, and thanks for your wonderful
response to our Alumni Committee and its great work on behalf of the Shrine.

Many blessings to you and your loved ones in the months to come, and I look forward to
seeing you on October 7 as well as other future occasions.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael J. Orchik,
Pastor

Alumni News

The following is a letter to all Little Flower Alumni class contact persons from Chairman
Bob Campbell:

Fellow Little Flower Supporters,

Thanks to all who participated in the 80^th Parish anniversary celebration by
attending Mass, the Bull/Oyster Roast or by contributing financially. The day was a huge
success and enabled us to make a substantial contribution to Father Mike Orchik. A full detailed financial report will be published in the next Shrine Newsletter.

I would like to welcome Jackie Mahoney Watts (Class of 1947) and Joann
DiBattista Adkins (Class of 1971) to our growing list of Class Contact Persons. We now
have representatives from the following classes: 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953,
1954, 1955, 1963, 1964, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1981 and 2004. If any of you know people
from other classes who would be interested in being a Contact Person, let me know at
hsinn2@comcast.net or have them call me at 410-933-3666.

Several people have suggested that we make the Bull/Oyster roast an annual event.
Others have suggested a Casino Night. In order to make an equitable decision, we need
feedback. Please initiate some phone calls to your classmates. Any other suggestions as
to how to generate income for the parish will be welcomed.

We have put a tentative reserve for the first Sunday in October 2007 for the same
room at Martin’s East that we had this year, In order to assure the date of October 7, we
must sign a contract and make a non-refundable deposit of $1,200. within the next two
weeks. You can readily see how important the membership input is to secure the date.

Another area in which you can be of tremendous assistance is by encouraging your
classmates to join our growing organization. Annual dues, which runs from September
through August is only $10.00. Dues are the BACKBONE of our expense money to
cover all mailing and required deposits for events. If any of you need a class list, let me
know.

Thanks for your continued support of Little Flower, one of the greatest parishes in
the history of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

        Sincerely,
        Bob Campbell, Class of 1953
        Alumni Chairman

Simply Beautiful

If you have never attended the 11 a.m. Mass on Sundays at Little Flower, you have
missed a most beautiful religious experience -- the adult choir. Nearly all members,
including director Michael Britt, live in other parishes but return twice weekly to
rehearse.

New School

Mother Mary Lange School which opened last September replacing St. Dominic’s, St.
Anthony’s and the Shrine of the Little Flower currently has an enrollment of 292
students. Don’t forget the parishes that closed their schools must contribute $15,000
annually to maintain the new school.

To Parishioners

This mailing of the newsletter is being sent to all registered members of the parish to
keep them apprised of our plans. If you know anyone who wants to be added to the
mailing list please contact Susan Hitzelberger Scheerer or Bob Campbell.
