- This is one of my favourite family photos. It dates from 1889, and it’s my maternal great-grandmother in her Confirmation veil. The church record (bottom right) indicates that she was confirmed on 30 October 1889, at age 13. The parish register includes a lengthy account of the ceremony, which took place “at 10:30 o’clock, after a solemn Mass:” apparently “the church was filled to overflowing;” and after Archbishop Cleary “examined…the candidates for Confirmation” in their catechism (“the examination lasted three hours” [!?]), the children pledged “to abstain until the completion of their twenty first year of age from intoxicating liquors of every Kind.”
