Invitations are out for the coming wedding
of Rev T. Jakimowicz, Mt. Carmel's deposed
priest who is now located at Buffalo, where
he is pastor of the Polish Baptist church.
Our readers will remember that Rev. Jakimo-
wicz presided over the congregation Of St.
Joseph's Polish Catholic church, Of the above
place and who got into trouble in the courts
and was finally deposed by the bishop.
Eventually he drifted to Buffalo, where he
assumed the pastorate Of a factional part of
the church. After his disconnection with
the Mt Carmel church he pretended to re-
nouuce the Catholic faith, and got some
notoriety in consequence. Now the reverend
proposes marrying and there is no end to the
excitement over she affair in the vicinity of
Buffalo. The prospective groom is young
man Of priestly bearing and fine presence.
The bride is a pretty young woman. She is
accomplished, having received a classical
education here and abroad.
