o'clock Each weekday there is morn
ing mass at S o'clock and evening mass
at o'clock on Sunday Wednesday and
Friday. This church extends over the
entire city, including all persons of the
Slavic races, of whom there are about
1000 communicates of the Catho-
lie church. Father Turk is the only
priest connected with the church and
consequently finds his time occupied
constantly. An effort is being made by
the Bishop to find a priest who is con-
versant with the Slavic languages to
assist The new parish house is al
most completed and is a most comfort
able one, having two stories and attic,
and containing living rooms, study,
reception-room and private Office. The
church proper is completed and has
statues that were donated by members
of the congregation. Pews for the
church have been ordered and are on
the way. In order to put the church
in it's present condition Father Turk
has incurred a heavy debt, but hopes
to be able to clear this with the as
sistance of the congregation, which is
constantly increasing.
