Dedication of the Catholic Church at
Winchester.


ICorrcspondcnce of the Baltimore SUM-
WINCHESTER, Va, July 90, 1S7S.-On
yesterday the new Catholic Church at this
place was formally dedicated, the dedication
services being of a solemn and imposing
character and participated in and witnessed
by large concourse of persons from this city
and many from abroad, from Harpers Ferry
to Staunton, from both of which places spe.
cial excursion trains ran to accommodate those
wishing to be present. An early service was
held, after which, at 10 o'clock, the church
was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of
Christ" when the usual ceremonies of the
sprinkling of the holy water within and out
side of the building were performed with
great solemnity. After this the regular SER
vices and mass were gone through with.
Bishop Kane, of Wheeling, w. Va, was
present and oficated at the dedication. He
preached an eloquent and instructive sermon
upon the "1ncarnation of Christ" II e COM
manded the closest attention from thronged
house from the beginning to the conclusion
of his discourse. The church is a handsome
building and great pride to the Catholics
of this section of the country. They have
been about ten years completing it, and have
had many difficulties with which to struggle.
The choir on yesterday was assisted by some
fine voices from Stanton, and rendered
some very sweet music.
The old Catholic Church here was COM
pletcly destroyed during the war, and for a
great portion of the time was used as q sta
BILE. Since then the Catholics have cons
Quoted their worship at different places, at
first in halls, and for some years they have
used the basement of their present church.
