LETTER TO ALUMNI
Dear Alumni,
Welcome to our new Our Mother of Sorrows Alumni website. Thank you for visiting! The purpose of this website is to provide alumni with a vehicle for connecting with each other and to stay up to date with events at school. The information on this website is the creation of a committee of alumni volunteers, who donated their time because of their belief that OMS has a unique impact on its students lives.
It is inspiring to see all alumni return, whether to visit, volunteer or even teach! We believe our alumni return for two reasons. First, to reconnect with peers who share the same values, and will hopefully be lifelong sources of support and friendship. Second, to give back to the school community for the care they were given as children, which has helped form them as adults.
We hope that you will take advantage of this site to reconnect, or remain connected, to the OMS school community. Also, please let your family and friends who attended OMS know about this site and make sure you put the next reunion on your calendar! We would love to see you or hear from you, and we can be reached at oms.si@skdp.org or 215-473-5828. Take care, and be in touch!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

ALUMNI COMMITTEE INVITATION:
When last year the “Fallon Streeters” gathered at OMS there was so much to reminisce about…School Picnics…Christmas Eve Mass…May Processions…Corpus Christi Processions in Old Cathedral…Memorial Day in the Square…Saint Patrick’s Day Parades with the STM Band…Shanahan Catholic Club. Who needed babysitters?? I will never forget standing in line with my mom and two brothers, Bobby and Jerry, as we got those little cards with our names on it. It was the start of a summer of fun. You never really said goodbye to your classmates because when Memorial Day rolled around everyone was at the pool. We waited with anticipation to find out who the lifeguards would be for that season. I think Mrs. Coughlin was always in the girls locker room. I don’t know about the boys. Generations of us grew up with OMS and Shanahan. We were so fortunate to be a part of such a caring and loving community of people…We were all family!!
Last year a member of my OMS family and good friend was very sick on Alumni Day…this year she will be with us in all her glory. Duff and I started this journey together when we decided to go home to visit OMS. Please don’t miss your opportunity to do the same. Last year there were over 200 people at the reunion. I hope this year there will be even more. Even if you have moved away, Home Is Where Your Heart Is! Our Mother of Sorrows was the Heart and Soul of our family Life in West Philadelphia.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 2010. Mass will be celebrated at 9AM. Off street parking is available, and there is a wheelchair ramp into Church. The first annual Monsignor Daly Alumni Award will be given to Fr. Rayford Emmons. We will lay at wreath at Msgr. Daly's gravesite to honor him and to remember the many generations of people he touched, and continues to touch today. We were all blessed to have know him. A true Saint to all Of Our Mother of Sorrows.
To buy tickets send a check for $15 per ticket made out to OMS to OMS Reunion, 1008 N. 48th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19131. Please feel free to call me or any member of our Alumni Committee for more information about the reunion. I returned to OMS for the pride, honor, and tradition of my family. Please join me!!
Fondly,
Eileen P. Scullin Shannon

Our Mother of Sorrows "Pride", and "Our True Spirit Of Family" lives on today and will live on forever through our hearts and those who came before us, as well as those who come after us. Please come back to visit with us often. Shared memories never die! Our sincere thanks to Father James Otto and all of our OMS family.

See everyone at the "OC" Memorial Mass on Saturday, June 13, 2009...another chance to join together as one family in song and praise of the Lord. Time: 4:30PM.
Not what we say about our Blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanksgiving”.
