06.5 On the importance of Catholicism
Description
“My grandmother may have been in Jackson and worked in S.N. Thomas Company. She also went to Gulfport as a young girl and lived with the Catholic nuns. So I don’t want to leave that out, that part of the story about who influenced my Lebanese family. They were extremely poor, I mean just like most Lebanese immigrants were on the Farris side of the family. My grandmother went and lived with the Catholic nuns and went to school in Gulfport. So, if not for the Catholic nuns there is really no telling what my family life would be because [. . .] my grandfather T. G. Nohra really couldn’t provide for them financially, so I know that the Sisters of Mercy in Vicksburg, St. Francis, let my mother and her siblings go to school free, and they were selected usually every year to get a new pair of shoes from the Salvation Army. So, you know, that means a lot.” -- Keith Fulcher
