First Gift Shop Workers Return for Dedication
When Hazel Crichlow and
Margaret Smith worked at
The Shrine Shop in the 1930s
at Mission Nombre de Dios,
visitors toured in horsedrawn
carriages to see where
the first parish Mass was
celebrated in St. Augustine.
This June, when Hazel and
Margaret returned to the
mission – to celebrate the
dedication of a new tile base
for the Rustic Altar, new
Stations of the Cross for the
Shrine of Our Lady of
LaLeche Chapel, and a new
addition to the Shrine Gift
Shop – every room was airconditioned.
Hazel and Margaret said
that when they worked there,
the shop was a “shed with
cabinets,” and they brought
in their own oil for the heater.
They were accompanied by
Crichlow’s nephew, Don
Crichlow, who,designed The
Gift Shop’s expansion.
Bishop Victor Galeone (top

the new furnishings; and
Hazel and Margaret said they
enjoyed the memories.

Her dream comes true
In Rome ... Fifteen-year-old Rebecca
Quinones, briefly held the gentle hands of
the Holy Father on June 29. Her trip to
Rome was made possible by Dreams Come
True, a Jacksonville charity, and the Diocese
of Saint Augustine. A year ago, Rebecca was
being treated with radiation and
chemotherapy for Hodgkins disease. She is
now in remission. Last year, when the
organization’s representatives asked her
about her wish, she says now, that even she
was surprised at her answer: “I’d like to
meet the Pope.” Her mom, Regina, says,
“It was the work of the Holy Spirit.”
The Quinones are members of St. Luke
Parish in Middleburg.

Herb, and sister, Rachel, traveled to St. Peter’s.
