u ARISH NOTES.
To celebrate the completion of the
two spires on the new cathedral
special cole cth3n was taken up at
Logan Avenl1e chapel last Sunday. AL
most 81 900 wa s given by the congre-
cation. This ii about twice the size
of the regul ar monthly envelope col
lection. Now that the church is an
object of re;ll pride to the people of
Denver purs e-s trings are being loos-
ened
1t has been . tanned that Father II.
L. McMenamin, rector of the cathe-
draI. and IN priests through whose
lireless energy the cathedral has
grown from a practically abandoned
excavation to {, triumph of architec-
tural splendCG, was to have placed
the cap-stone on the east spire Of the
church on Sunday, November 6. The
ceremony had to be abandoned, |
though, because high winds had made /
the scaffoldints 225 feet above the |
ground appear ., bit unsafe. One day !
during the eek the rector went up |
with workmerl and put the stone in |
place. The 70 ofing is now being done. |
Ii is not likely that the plastering will |
be begun until tlle spring of next year.
Architect T. T. Walsh of the firm of |
Goge & Walsh, does not look for the
cathedral to be. ready for service be-
fore Christmas, 1911, but every ef
fort will be strained to complete it
before that time. Not a little time
and money wiz be expended on the
interior The faithful will make
handsome offermg gs in the way of me-
MORALS for departed relatives, so that |
the 100000 which is given as the
ultimate cost Of l.he structure will not
represent the total amount expended
on its furnishings
