Father Sullivan says hat he thinks the
building will be completed by the end OF
November. pr, if not then, he hopes It
first mass can be said there on that day.
Rev. Father Sullivan has been very aeo
first move in that direction was the hold
ing of a monster garden party last July.
Father Sullivan, aided by the ladies of the
parish. succeeded in raising 81 400 out of
that enterprise. He has also raised about
81. 600 more among the parishioners, al. of
which will go to the church fund. Father
Sullivan and the ladies' society are now
making arrangements for a big fan
which they will hold in the hall on West
Side avenue early in November, the pro-
ceeds of which will go toward the church
fund also.
Since the parish was organized about six
months ago it has grown very rapidly un-
til there are now over twelve hundred
souls in the parish. a goodly number for
one priest to take care of, but Father
Sullivan does it without a murmur, and 1t
is ne that will reap all the reward for the
prosperous condition of the parish.
