After my recent 52 Challenges post, I started wondering about the church my great-grandmother and cousins are standing in front of. My grandmother and her sisters were reared Episcopalian (and AME Zion), so I assumed that it was an Episcopal church. To my surprise, my cousin G.W., son of the oldest daughter of my great-aunt Launie Mae Jones Colvert, identified it as Christ the King Catholic Church.
Catholic??? Aunt Launie Mae was Catholic?
Another cousin, K.J., chimed in. She’d talked to her mother, who said that in Aunt Launie Mae “had told her she converted to Catholicism after my grandfather was sick (with TB), and the Catholic church was there for her.” (Aunt Launie Mae’s husband was Isaiah James Jones (1912-1984), a native of Georgia.) This would have been in the early 1940s. The things you learn when you least expect.
(I wonder what happened to those beautiful wooden doors?)

I used to work in Our Lady of Victories Catholic Church in Jersey City until it closed down. I loved it there.
Wow! I’ve only been to Jersey City a handful of times, but I’ll definitely visit CKRC next time I’m there.
