1970
Let's look at the official photo of the 1970 St. Patrick's College Sacristans.
These guys were in charge of looking after the school chapel and its sacred contents.
Okay, a fine bunch of young Catholic men who were obviously picked because they were pure, could probably take a bit of priestly cock and didn't steal things or run Cosa Nostra style rackets.
You may ask, "Is anybody missing?"
Unfortunately, yes. P. J. McDonald.
Okay, study this photo closely. Take your time.
Did you find your way to the happy young chap racketeer at the far right of the middle row?

| P. J. McDonald! |
McDonald was a disgrace to the Catholic faith who was selling off blessed communion hosts to boys to supplement their morning tea. Hey, what was the tuck shop for?
It took our very blessed Father Minto to step forward and remove him from his racketeering. This duty probably meant that a few other boys missed out on Father Minto's personal touch.
Shame on you, P. J. McDonald!

This is an odd post, full of misinformation and inaccuracies but ...... hold on ......oh, that's right, it's a Richard's Bass Bag post so I guess that's par for the course.
Yes, I was a sacristan but that was in the 4th form. For some reason there was no photograph of the 1967 sacristans in the SPC magazine. Funny that.
Yes, very funny.

OK, what are you suggesting?
