"PARISH THE THOUGHT, An Inspirational Memoir of Growing up Catholic in the 1960s" provides an opportunity to take a nostalgic step back and relive those days in the navy blue and plaid uniforms at the Catholic grammar school or the Sunday's of our youth in front of, or on, God's altar. 
In this memoir, John Bernard Ruane shares the evolution of his faith as he grows up in a blue-collar neighborhood, attending a Catholic grammar school and serving as an altar boy. He relates tales of the good and bad teachers, as well as priests and nuns who affected the lives of so many impressionable young Catholics. 
This inspirational memoir is just one Catholic's account of his days growing up in a parish on the southwest side of Chicago, but that time period seems to be a universally shared experience for millions of Baby boomers across the country.
