During the period of December 1938 to May 1939, Dalinda Orlando crocheted the altar border trim and the tabernacle veil for her son, Rev. Ralph Antonucci's, first mass in June 1939. Additional items were gifts from family and parishoners. Thereafter, Fr. Ralph used the blessed items until he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943. His mother kept the items. When he was killed in May 1945, the family preserved the collection until the June 1953 ordination of a second son to the priesthood. Rev. Claude Antonucci, OFM was ordained in Washington, D.C. and celebrated his first mass in Buffalo, NY in June 1953 using these same items. Fr. Claude was a Franciscan in the Holy Name Province, Order of Friars Minor. He was first assigned to the provincial office in New York City. In 1964, he was assigned to the missionary parish of Our Lady of the Angels in Kingston, Jamaica, W.I. The collection was subsequently returned to the family and is now part of the Rev. Ralph A. Antonucci Collection. The items are shown below.
