The buildings planned will give the
new church one of the handsomest
church homes in the city. The pro-
posed plans provide for an expenditure
in excess of $4,000. The main build
ing will be a combination church and
school and it will be entirely of brick
and fire proof. 1t will have a main
auditorium seating 900 people with a
gallery providing room for 200 more
and with the usual ante and side rooms
for the use of the church. In the school
portion of the Building there will be
four large class rooms and an assem-
bly, room and the building will be built
in the most modern manner known to
school architecture. The rooms will be
large and airy and J, the heating and
ventilating plant will be the last word
in construction of school buildings
The school will be large enough to take
care of two hundred children and il
will be built with view Of increasing
it as the demands of the congregation
increase. In addition to the church
and school there will be a commodious
parsonage erected which will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 and this will
be one of the best homes for priests
ever erected in the city. In future
years it is expected that convent oil
some of the orders connected with tn,
church will be erected in connection
with the church, but for the present
time the parsonage will be the home
Of the teachers Of the school.
The work of organizing the congre
cation has been under way for some
time and the church will have a large
membership before the first stone il
the building is laid. Announcement
of the laying of the corner stone OF
the church will be made in the neal
future.
Father Malone was one of the most
popular members of the clergy ever
connected with the church in Kenosha
and he is sure to receive warm vel
come on his return to the city.
