I actually attended a Catholic school in 1959-1960, back when mass was in Latin. There was mass every day before school. I went once, but it was in Latin, so I didn't see the point. There was a crucifix, but they concentrated on Mary. We had to memorize the answers to questions in the catechism. This was in 1st grade. I went to public school after that. I saw some of my classmates again when I was in high school, as they chose that rather than continue in the Catholic high school.
In the 70s and 80s, the priest there was pretty cool. I got copies of some software from him in the 1980s. All bootleg copies of programs and files for the Radio Shack Color Computer. He made the copies right in his church office.
