Many things seem mysterious
about the church-yet there is
really nothing mysterious. If you
become companion on earth with
these people above you need have
no fear when you join them. Those
that assail us for worshipping stone
images are guilty of misinformation
for We do not worship the image
but that for which they stand.
Our church is an artistic garden
for it has other parts than merely
the worship. We have the peace
Palace on either side-a place for
confession. Young people are mar
ried here and in all a church serves
for many things.
Last but not least, on every
Sunday you come here and hear of
the purposes of life and of the |
Word of God He will give to you |
the narrative of the gospel We are |
not wandering in the dark but we
are now walking in light, guided by |
the hand of God So that it becomes
a pleasant duty to congratulate Won
and your pastor for having this
beautiful church. This will always
stand as a token of remembrance
for your splendid response to the
plea of your pastor"
The Church
The Catholic church on the out
side is a beautiful edifiee of brick
with white stone trimmings. Large
concrete walks surround the church
md immense concrete steps lead

The interior, practically one large |

The windows, adjoining both sides,
