I was born in St. Mary’s hospital (end of Genesee St. by where Brown St. began)and started school in St. Monica’s - then St Peter and Paul when we moved a few miles. Haven’t been to those areas in years.
I was born at the original Rochester General Hospital on Main Street which had been built in 1864.
We lived on Jefferson Terrace when I was very little. That's not too far from St. Peter and Paul's Church. In fact I vaguely remember our parents taking all four of us kids there to be baptized in one sitting. That was a beautiful church. I believe it was taken over by Coptic Christians, which is far better than muslims getting their hands on it. My last sibling who was in Rochester passed in 2014, so I haven't been back there since then. My brother's family moved to Ontario, NY not long after he died in 1995, so I have no reason to ever go back to Rochester. It's turned into a crap hole.
