--------------------------------------------------------- The Basilica Recreation Centre - Before and After CHAPTER 4: HOLT NAME HALL—HOLT NAME SOCIETY The description of the Queen Square Presbyterian Church that the League of the Cross took over is the description of the Holy Name Hall as I remember it. When, as teenagers, we used the hall for various functions, most of us did not know its previous history (nor did we care), or where it got the name Holy Name Hall, sometimes called Holy Name Club. The Girl Guides taking part in the Corpus Christi procession that was held every year during the month of June. The Holy Name Hall and the old YMCA building are visible in the background. -r The hall likely took its name from The Holy Name Society. I can recall The Holy Name Society being very active in our parish. It was a society for men, and every second Sunday of the month there would be a special mass at 8 a.m. at the Basilica with a special homily on the objectives of the society. 11
