We continue our series of vintage rectory bathroom tiles with a contribution by a reader.
Dear Father,
I was glad to see this series revisited. I’ve been fortunate to live in some beautiful old rectories, with some fantastic old tile work, throughout my summer assignments as a seminarian. The yellow tile is found in the guest suite at my priest friend’s first assignment. For the life of him, he could not understand why I insisted on stopping the tour to take a picture.
On another note, thanks for all you’ve done over the years to help inspire and form my own sense of priestly identity.
Here they are! In the rectory I was in for some time in St. Paul, there was a bathroom with this color of wall tiles and pattern of floor times. The sink is similar, too. I imagine it to have two metal legs supporting it.

Yellow! With a green bathtub?

I invite priests – and seminarians – who live in older rectories, not yet updated, to send their own photos.
