! spent a short time in Kansas City and
St Louis studying the best churches
in those cities. He is at present in
Dallas having a conference with Rt.
Rev. Joseph P. Lynch, the bishop of
the diocese, to which Ell Paso be-
longs.
May Be New Diocese.
Although there is as yet no official
confirmation, it is rumored among Ro-
man Catholics here that the formation
of a new diocese with FL Paso as the
''See" city, is likely to- happen in the
near future. Ell Paso is a part of the
diocese of Dallas, but is separated
from the rest of the Dallas diocese
by the diocese of San Antonio. Under
the new plan it is proposed to chip off
a piece of the San Antonio diocese,
attach il to Ell Paso's corner and form
a new diocese. This rumor is strength
ened by the building of the $4,000
church, which is likely to be used
as the cathedral of the new diocese.
Three Sites Considered.
The exact location of the new church
has not been determined There are
three sites under consideration. The
choice will be left absolutely to
father Barry. The name of the church
is also in doubt 1t is being built by
the parish of the Immaculate Concep-
ton which is composed of two Ameri-
can churches and three Mexican The
two American churches are the
Church Of the Immaculate Concep-
ton on Myrtle avenue, and the chapel
of the Holy Family on North Oregon
street.
It is expected that actual work on
the new church will be under way in
less than two months after father
Barry's arrival
Rev. father Andrea Schiller, who was
in FL Paso preceding Rev. father
Krentz, will take father Barry's place
in the Denver church during his year
in FL Paso.
Rev A1oysius BROKER, who took
father Krentz's place as chaplain at
Hotel Dieu. at the ST. Mary's school,
leave Ell Paso in about two weeks and
return to the Church of the Sacred
Heart in Denver.
Form Sunday School at Ranch.
At the ranch of Mrs. Rose K. Points,
about two miles beyond the smelter,
a Sunday school is being organized,
and it is hoped to have services at
least twice a month on Sundays, with
ministers from the various FL Paso
churches in charge. Last Sunday a
service was held by the Rev. Herman
Porter, of the First Methodist church,
Der of people in the vicinity 1t
is expected that the services will reach
many people who find il impossible
to come in to Ell Paso for church
services.
