Columbia, Pa. May 2.-Through the
generosity of one member of the con-
gregation the rector of Holy Trinity
Catholic parish here, the Rev. p. G.
Brueggeman. has been able to secure a
large enough site near the present
church building and parochial school
to begin the erection of fine modern
structure which will be used to ac-
commodate the increasing demands for
better facilities and more room for
the pupils. The donor is Joseph
Knapp, vice-president of the Central
National Bank, a prominent citizen and
an auditor of the parish. He owned a
dwelling and lot adjoining property
held by the church and in order that
the work of enlarging might proceed
he decided the property to the parish.
In addition to this Father Bruegge-
man has secured valuable corner
property and several lots adjacent
thereto, which gives him a large plot,
upon which he will erect a new paro-
chial school building with spacious
hall on the first floor and a gymnasium
and recreation rooms in the basement.
He will also erect a new convent fol
the sisters and all the buildings will
be in a central portion of the borough.
The parish comprises over 1900 mem.
bers and there are between three and
four hundred pupils in the parochial
schools.
