This is the home of the Lord. You
have built temple for yourselves and
your Lord, where all may come and see
that you are thankful to your God. This
is most emphatically the house of God.
The Lord hears you here the same as
he did the people of 1900 years ago.
You build beautiful churches for God,
and it is proper to build as beautiful as
possible. Now want you 10 come to
this church whenever your pastor comes.
Encourage him with your presence. "
Rev. Fl. John Dignam of St. Patrick's
church of Dickinson, spoke few words
and said that he wished. as pastor of
the church. to especially thank the six
teen or seventeen families of South
Heart who had worked so hard to make
it possible tc build the beautiful edifice.
Bishop Wehrle spoke earnestly for a
few minutes. He started by saying
that it was little over thirteen years
ago when he first said mass in South
Heart. At the time there were three
Catholic families in the place and he
soon found that they belonged to the old
Catholic stock. And these families;
said the Bishop. i. were the nucleus of
the present splendid CONGREGATION of
Holy Rosary church. Times have
changed said he, and you have become
strong and are credited with the work of
building handsome church. The Bish-
op hoped that the true Catholic life of
the early families would hold the COM
munity and that they would Get great
blessings from their church.
