Cathedral collectors are working
hard to make sure of $4,000 by July
/. That is the amount required i'm
mediately, and with it Father H L.
McMenamin says that the books will
close for all time. The collectors have
not reached all of the parish by any
means, but the 297 whose names are
already entered on the books have
given $4,000. At this per capita rate
the 1000 parishioners would give
more than the required sum.
Next Sunday will be regular en-
velope collection day for the month
of June, but it is going to be more
than that at Logan Avenue chapel

for the speedy securing of the cathe-

worthy of Christmas or Easter be the
record. A great many people who
signed their names to promises to
give a stated sum to the cathedral
will endeavor on Sunday to cover the
balance due by one offering. 1t is
expected that a goodly sum toward
the needed $4,000 will be the re-
suit of next Sundays work.
lumbus, has pledged itself to raise
$4,000 for the new Catholic cathedral.
Perhaps the entire sum will be netted
by the picnic under the auspices Of
the knights at Elitch's gardens prob
ably on June IS and perhaps Sc
ries of entertainments will be re-
quired, but the council has given its
word, and that is enough.
The picnic will be enjoyed by the
city Of Denver at large rather than
the members Of the parish for whose
benefit it will be given. The knights
come from all parishes and will in
terest the good church workers in
all parts of the city in the success
of their undertaking.
The date is early in the summer
season, but with favorable conditions
there is no reason why a tremendous
financial success should not be in
sured. Tickets have been distributed
and the wives and sisters of knights
will look after the booths on the
grounds and the various concessions
which will be turned over for the
benefit of the cathedral for that day.
Miss Helen Harrington is one of
the fortunate cLFes to have received
a degree from Denver university at
commencement last week Miss Har-
dington is now a bachelor of arts and
incidentally a successful school teach
er. She made her course by night
study and Saturday work. She is a
member of the cathedral parish and
one of the most charming and en-
tertafning young women in Catholic
society. Her work in the public
schools has brought her to the atten-
ton of the board Of education, and
her advance has been rapid.
Father William O'Ryan, pastor of
St Leos church, was given the hon
orary degree of doctor of laws at the
same commencement exercises last
week.
