New Bohemian Church.-The cor
nerstone of the new church that is
being erected for the Bohemian con-
gregation at Schuyler, Neb., was laid
recently by Rt. Rev. Mgr. A. j. Klein,
V. G., of Brainard, Neb. An eloquent
sermon in the Bohemian tongue was
preached by Father Broz OF Dodge,
Neb., and the English sermon was de-
livered by Rev. Michael Gluba of
South Omaha. A large gathering of
people witnessed the ceremony. Only
a few months ago the Bohemian con-
was formed at Schuyler and
Father Tomanek, who was ordained
a year ago at st. Paul Seminary, st.
Paul, Mimi, took up the work of or
ganization and providing for the needs
of the new parish. The old church,
which was used by all the Catholics
of Schuyler prior to the completion of
st. Augustine's Church, was fitted up
for the new congregation; but plans
were at once laid for new church on
one of the most desirable sites in the
city. A novitiate for Bohemian Sis
terhood has also been secured for
Schuyler and an academy will soon
be erected.
