I was baptized at St. Monica's Catholic Church in 1951. I also have fond meromies of my grandfather taking me to Kings Park on (I believe) Jamaica Avenue as a child.I have been taking the LIRR for forty years and never fail to look out the window at Prospect Park Cemetary, the facade that's left of St. Monica's (It has been renovated & the front facade of the building was kept) I don't know what the building houses now.I have been planning on getting off the train in Jamaica & taking a trip down memory lane. However, I never seem to have the time.Thanks for posting the photo of the headstone & the age of Prospect Park Cemetary.
