From Brooklyn Centre Wiki
Today is: Thursday, October 31, 2024
The heart of Brooklyn Centre is at the intersection of West 25th Street and Denison Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Brooklyn Centre was first settled in the early 1800's, by the Fish, Brainard, and Foote families, as a farming community. Trying to write about the history of a neighborhood is like attempting to read a book where big clumps of pages are stuck together. You can open some of the pages and gets glimpses but the big majority of the text is hidden. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a couple of pages can be pried apart and some new parts can be read. More often than not, though, those pages are destined to remain glued together and you'll never really know what was inside although occasionally you can make inferences. Any history contained within this Wiki has been brought out a bit at a time, as it is found. This means that if you read one of the pages today, in a week or a month's time more may have been added as new things were discovered. It's an ongoing process. Unless you know exactly what you are looking for here, I suggest that you click on the Random Page link over in the Navigation menu on the left. Using it will give you an opportunity to dip your toes in unexpected places. Enjoy. Sandy 08:08, 25 March 2009 (PDT) |

We will have the picnic at St Barbara’s church, 1505 Denison Ave on Sunday, July 26, 2009 from noon till 5:00. Anyone who ever attended school at St Barbara’s or has been a past parishioner is welcome to attend. There will be food and refreshments for a nominal fee. We will also have a raffle and kids games both in door and out. So come on down and reminisce and celebrate over 100 years of St Barbara’s! If you have any old photos, please bring them down so we can all take a look back to a better day! Many of us have long lasting memories of our little parish in Brooklyn Centre. So lets send St Barbara’s out in style. If you know of anyone who attended or was a parishioner or had any affiliation with our parish and you are still in contact with them please let them know about the picnic. We are trying to contact as many people as we can to make this a grand event! They may be able to shut our doors and stop our services but they can’t stop the love, memories and traditions that we hold so close to our hearts! We have been a very close-knit community in the past, and St Barbara’s had a big hand in making us one big family! We look forward to seeing everyone there and taking a walk down memory lane! |
Look where today's visitors come from...
UPDATE: Bishop Richard Lennon made his decision and St. Barbara's is one of the churches that will have to close.
