No Context: Loose photo from Fr. O'Connell's family album

 There's no writing on the back. Or in the album. So other than, being able to judge that the album was from roughly around the time of his ordination/coming to America from Ireland...there's no way of gaging when the photos in the album were taken. Photo might be a sister or a family friend. I feel like she was in a few of the other photos in the album. 

Appropriate we're posting of Fr. O'Connell (sort of): We recently found a bunch of old photos in the back room of the school, and I'm doing a lot of scanning of stuff that didn't make the digital archives around this time last year. As I've stated before on social media and the website, if you didn't turn in photos and want something posted for a Flashback Friday, or used in the Archives...feel free to turn it in. If it needs to be scanned, I can make a high resolution digital for you too.
