St. Mary A.M.E. Church

Rev Wilfred Oliney was my Father!!! I am now 70 years old

I was not a member of St. Mary's but I visited many times because my Uncle Rev. Wilfred Oliney was the pastor there. I have lost track of the time period but I think it was somewhere in the late 1980"s early 1990's. I always loved the stained glass windows with Black Jesus and I wonder who stole them and where are they today? God Bless you all and I hope you are all keeping the faith in this messed up world today.

We resided at 5235 Dearborn St. The Foules family were members of St. Mary's Church. I was christened as a newborn here and was married in 1953 under Rev. Mills. I was a student of both Farren and DuSable high school. I am now a resident of Portland, OR. I remember my Christian upbringing at St. Mary.

St. Mary is the church I attended and grew up in as a boy back in the late 1950’s - early 1960’s, first under the leadership of Rev. Mills, then for years under Rev. Robinson. Great memories.
