Vincent De Paul Roman Catholic Church,
OF F'ifty-scventh street and Avenue D.,
Bayonne. has decided, after having COM
suited his parishioners, to start a build
ing fund, the money to be used for the
purpose of erecting a new church. Al
though this parish has been In existence
a little more than a year, Father Meyer
feels that a new church is needed in this
progressive parish. The present house of
worship is situated at the above named
place. This was formerly a large meeting
hail. When it was hired by the church
much money was spent in altering it. and
transforming it into a comfortable church.
church has a seating capacity of
about three hundred, and as it stands is
inadequate. A new church has been.
wanted for some time, but as is the case
of all young parishes, the funds for such
a purpose are quite low. It usually takes
at least a year and a half before a new
parish can burden itself with a building
debt. Father Meyer is anxious to build
the church asked for and will shortly
make a house to house canvass of his
parish in order to raise funds with which
to start the erection of the proposed new
edi1Ce. He expects to realize some IS, U00
from his practitioners.
However. the first step toward raising
the necessary funds for the church build
ing will be taken by the member of the
Booth Dramatic Society. which is com
posed of a number of young people from
Greenville and who are also members Of
st. Paul's Dramatic Circle. These young
people have magnanimousiy consented to
produce a drama in Bayonne for the bene-
fit Of the church and also for the purpose
of raising funds with which to pay off a
few small church debts which have been
hanging over that church for some time.
A committee from the Bayonne church
met the Booth members and the matters
relative to the p~resentatio of the piece
were discussed. This was about three
weeks ago. and since then rehearsals have
been held each week by he Dramatic
Society. The piece TO be produced is a
two act drama. dealing with New England
