   How much did it cost to buy a pagan baby?

   • In my class at St. Amelia’s school in Tonawanda, NY, we collected nickels and dimes in a cigar box to buy a pagan baby. These babies, we were told, didn’t know God. It cost $5.00. When I entered first grade, I came home one day and excitedly told my mother that I was getting one. And when I got it, I was going to take care of it all by myself.

   Did Catholic children of the 1960s “save” a pagan baby?

   • While the circumstances, the cost, and the rewards varied from parish to parish, most Catholic children of the 1960s “saved” at least one “pagan baby.” What exactly we learned from this could be disputed. Labeling any baby “pagan,” much less sweeping into this category all “foreign” children of color, makes me look back with embarrassment.
