Pomona Catholic Church Historic Landmark...click this link for weblog #3...
Inside view of the Pomona Catholic Church located on West Holt avenue in Pomona, California...My first Pomona friend, Terry Densley, who lived on the same street as I did, Kenoak Drive, attended this church and also the school which was located on the same property behind the church...The church also had a public swimming pool where we would go to swim as kids in Pomona...Kenoak Drive in Pomona is also a location for a famous historical landmark...It is named after a famous oak tree located near the White Avenue end of the street...The oak tree, which still has a historical name plaque on it today, was where the first settlers of the Pomona Valley area, when California was still a part of Mexico, had an adobe house (no longer there) and were blessed by the priest from the San Gabriel Mission in the late 1700s period at this oak tree...The ceremony was for having acquired the entire Pomona Valley area to be settled...Palomares was the name of one of these area settlers in that period...The stump of this oak tree is still there today...---------------------------------------------------
