ST. PETERS JUBILEE YEAR
Diamond Anniversary to Be Celebrated With
Appropriate Ceremonies.

An important event in Catholic church
circles of this city but which is of more
particular interest to the members of s..
Peters Church, corner of ID and streets
southeast is the celebration of the diamond
jubilee in commemoration of the founding
OF S.. Peters parish, which is to be OBJ
served tomorrow. The services for the oc-
Casion have been carefully prepared and
rehearsed by the proposed participants, the
program of music being a particularly i'm
pressive one. The congregation is, how
ever, to have 4 more lasting reminder of
the celebration of the jubilee than the
church services. for the beautiful marble
affairs, made in Italy, are to be formally
dedicated during the course of the eXer-
Cises. The Star described these affairs at
the time of their erection, some weeks ago.
