    • Thanks for this Seraphina! When I see things like this, sometimes I wonder what ever happened to those kindergartners, always hoping they all made it.

    • Thank you for sharing, it is a very new channel on youtube and I've subscribed to it.

    In regards to the video, I noticed the little girls are not wearing veils, some girls shown entering the church looked like teenagers and were not wearing veils either. Were little girls not required to wear veils during that time(1930s)?

    Veils specifically were not common in USA pre Vatican 2, hats and berets and doilies and things like that were more common. I know In France it’s fairly common even in sspx chapels for ladies not to wear head coverings so It may be a cultural thing.

    • Beautiful post.  And I love to see the priest wearing the full traditional chasuble like I remember.

    I think one girl was wearing pants, oddly. It's nice to see a unique culture's clothing instead of the nearly world wide modern standard.

    Yes it is beautiful and also a painful reminder of what has been lost in terms of giving Glory to God.

    • I was so surprised that this was filmed in  the U.S.. I would not have thought that they had special Chinese schools and the children spoke English with American accents. The youngest of the children would be well into their 90’s if still living. Lovely to see such beautiful innocent children!

    I never wore a veil in church. Rather we would wear a hat or a scarf and I am 20 years younger than the youngest in the film.

    • The Pledge of Allegiance (9:17) didn't have "under God" in 1936. That wasn't until the '50s, under Eisenhower.

    I'm impressed by the behavior of the schoolchildren, even how they sit erect at their desks and stand and sit with such composure.
    The pace of life was slower back then.
