Albertsom Memorial Church of Spiritualism

It was a joyous event, on Sunday, September 27, 2009, when Albertson Memorial Church of Spiritualism dedicated its Library in honor of two people who, for years, did so much work and helped keep the Church going through some lean years. Those two people are mother and daughter, Irmgard and Hillary LaForge. They were completely surprised by this honor. Below is a list of people who helped in creating the Library. We call them Angels of the Library.

The Dedication Cake, donated by Sue Porto. The words were inspired by a lovely child spirit, named Christal, who worked through Rev. Stephen Fulton of Brookline's First Spiritual Temple, during an experimental evening of physical mediumship.
