st. Paul is the architect and Madison
Brothers of Minneapolis have the gen.
eral contract for the building. The
| people of st. Stephens parish under
the leadership of their pastor, Rever-
end James H. Gaughan, have been
planning on having a parochial school
| for a long time and there was an
enthusiastic gathering at the breaking
of the ground.
The members of st. Stephens
dramatic club presented a comedy
THE Widow Hunt" at the Minneapo-
| lis School of Music Monday evening of
last week. A large audience greeted
the players with generous applause.
The proceeds of the play have been
added to the parochial school fund.
Church of the Holy Cross: Rever-
end Ambrose Kryjewski, soon after
becoming pastor of the Church of the
Holy Cross, Minneapolis, invited the
young men of the parish to band them
selves into a society under the name
of the est. Aloysius' Club" One
hundred and seventy-five young men
responded to the call of their new
pastor. The society has steadily
grown in numbers and enthusiasm;
today, it's membership is past the two
hundred mark, and the young men
are buster than ever about the parish
Commodious club rooms have been
opened for the society in the base
ment of the school-building, in which
pool tables and divers other amuse-
ments have been provided. A tennis
court is now being laid out within
the parish grounds. The club rooms
are open every evening of the week.
The number of visitors each evening
is gradually growing and very likely
more spacious quarters will have to
be provided for the cooler months.
1t has been discovered that there
is no lack of trained athletes in the
club, and good football team for
the coming fall is assured.
That the club has not organized
for play alone, is shown by the fact
that three classes have been arranged:
One in English which those members
attend who have recently come to
!, this country; one in Religion, where
current religious problems are dis
cussed; the third in Citizenship
, where members who plan to take out
!, naturalization papers, receive the
necessary instruction.
On Sunday, June 81, the Feast OF
. ST. Aloysius, the Pensioners of Holy
Cross witnessed an edifying scene
During the Solemn High Mass, at
half past seven o'clock, the members
of the club received Holy Communion
in a body-the first corporate Com
munion of the society since its or
