The San Francisco call., 1898-02-05
TO HOLD A CHURCH FAIR Will Assist the Priests of St. Patrick'S
 Church. Money Sorely Needed to Put the Old Edifice in Re-
 pair.
Arrangement of the Booths and the Names of Those Who Will
 Be in Charge.

| years ago. At the time or the erectlon | of the church, San Francisco, with its
 present population of nearly half
 million souls, was nothing more than
 a mining camp with sparsely scat
 tered population numbering but 9 few
 hundred peoplea The present appeal
 for aid and support from the Cathollc
 population generally, will be the first
 ever made by the priests of the par | ish, and in consideration of this fact
 1t is expected that the present demand | for assistance will be considered no
 more than right, as the finances of the church are extremely low at present
 and are not sufficient to repair the sadly neglected condition of the build ing. AS St. Patrick's Church has ex- tended helping hand scores of times | to parish churches in distress and | straitened financial circumstances in | the past, 1t is expected that the present appeal made by the people of the old | Mission street edifice will meet with | kindly consideration andliberal support, | and that their coming fair will meet | with an unprecedented success. The 1 outlook at present, to use the words of | Father Brennan, the director Of the | fair, Is more than encouraging, not | withstanding the fact that the venture | is as yet in an embryonic state. To remodel the church and to make | number of extensive and needed re- pairs in the parochial residence consti- l tute the main and principal reasons why a fair was considered necessary | in order to raise the 10,000-the amount needed-to effectively carry on the | work and make the desired improve | ments.
 "As all the Catholics, that is, the ear | ly Catholics of the city, at one time or another, lived in this parish, 1t stands | to reason" said Father Brennan, that they owe us a debt of gratitude. Be- sides the parish is yearly becoming 1 poorer. Those who make money here, when they have accumulated a Suffi- | cient amount, or when they get into more prosperous circumstances, as a rule, move away to other parts of the city. For the last few years churches, especially downtown churches, have have had hard struggle to maintain 1 themselves. Churches of other de- nominations. as matter of fact, have | for the most part closed their doors en- l tirely, transferring their field of work l to other parts of the city, where they could stand better chances of obtaining the necessary support. I think if the people of other sections of the city Where llelT OWu pdTlSHeS are III no need of immediate assistance could hear of our present distress they would contribute literally toward our coming enterprise
