First Communion - Loretto Academy - 1955

Photograph - First Communion at Loretto Academy - 1955 - El Paso, Texas. First Communion is an important ceremony in the Catholic Church. Generally, children between 7-8 years old will celebrate their first Holy Communion, which is the first time they will participate in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, or the sharing of the bread and wine. In Western civilizations, first Holy Communion is an important family celebration and children will receive religious instruction prior to the event. Girls will generally wear white communion dresses and veils as symbols of their purity and religious devotion, while boys will be dressed formally with a standard tie color, such as red. http://peopleof.oureverydaylife.com/happens-during-first-communion-3101.html

Women who were members of the Sisters of Loretto provided religious education to these little girls. Women's History Month is in March across the USA.

Loretto Academy - Chapel - 1957

In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and in these circles May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this connection, in works of art, school skits, and so forth, Mary's head will often be adorned with flowers. Fading in popularity since the late-twentieth century is the giving of "May baskets," small baskets of sweets and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/May_Day

This picture dates from well before 1975. 1955 would be more likely. Notable buildings missing in the background include Bassett Center (opened 1962) which would be just beyond the Red Rooster Bowling Alley which is visible at the corner of Trowbidge and Montana, McRae Blvd and Eastwood High School (1961) are have yet to built near the water tower in the background, and it appears that Burges High School (1955) is either completed or under construction.
