Rev. FIR. KEALY's New CHURCH V
number of Belfast people when in Water
Vile last week called on Rev Fir. J. A. Keaiy
at the church of the Sacred Heart. corner Of
Pleasant and Gilman streets. Only the bast =
ment is completed, but it is covered with
temporary roof and services have been held
there for some time. The walls are of native
stone and the structure so far as completed
is of most substantial character. Work.
men were still busy in the basement, where
Fr. Kealy was found with his coat off, and
he gave the visitors a hearty greeting. The
blue prints showing the different elevations
of the new church indicate a very fine edi-
fee, with two towers and a handsome en-
trance in front, large windows of stained
glass, etc. The church is 1876 by so feet on
the ground. The basement is wainscotted
with yellow birch, with pews of the same
wood, is lighted by electricity and heated
by steam. The altar, rail, and indeed all
the fittings, are very handsome The exterior
was planned by an architect and the interior
by Mr.. 0. E. Frost, manager of Mathews
Bros, and all the interior work was done at
the mill in this city. This is the third church
erected under the supervision of FIR. Kealy
for which Mr.. Frost has done this work.
The church in Madison is said to be one of
the handsomest structures of the kind in
the State FIR Kealy said there we're 1000
Catholics in Waterville and the new church
was needed.
