AS soon as Bishop Van de vyver re-
turns from Belgium, where he has for
some time been visiting his sick brother,
there will probably be some definite
steps taken in connection with the ereo-
ton here OF the new Catholic Cathe-
dral. which is to cost $4,000. It is ex-
$pected that the plans will arrive from
New York soon after his return.
It has been learned that it has been
definitely decided to retain both the
Sacred Heart Church and the present
Cathedral as church property. The new
house Of worship will be situated in the
West End facing Monroe Park and will
hence necessitate az the closing OF the
sacred Heart Church. The entire parish
now covered by the latter will be added
to a portion Of the present Cathedral
parish and will be formed into a new
Cathedral parish.
