ST. JOHNS PARISH, MANkATo.

Fifty-fve families were communi-
cants of st. Johns Roman Catholic
Church, Mankato, when it was dedi-
Gated in 1884. From that beginning it
has grown to one of the strongest
parishes in Southern Minnesota, while
today 125 families are communicates
of the church. Earnest workers for
the church which has since become
such an important influence in Man
kato in the days Of it's inception and
organization were John B. Meagher,
p Carney, James Dougherty, John
Mccall and John McGarry. The first
church edifice cost $4,000. There was
a debt of $4,000 against it when Fa-
Their Daniel Hughes came to the par
ish in December, 1898. He remained
in charge of the parish until October,
1901, when he resigned and went to
Rome for a postgraduate course in
philosophy and theology. During the
time he was spiritual adviser of ST..
Johns the church was freed from
debt and it's influence for the advance
ment of the faith in Mankato was
considerably extended. Father John
Prior was the first priest to serve St.
Johns Church. He was in charge
from it's dedication in 1884 until 1898.
Father Daniel Hughes presided over
the parish from December, 1898, until
October, 1900, when Father R.
Hughes became it's pastor and ever
since has been it's pastor To Father
Hughes tireless and devoted efforts
in no small measure is due the
growth of St. Johns Church and par
ish. Universally beloved for his I'M
selfish service, Christian character
and faithful illustrations to the par
ish he has endeared himself to every
communicate of st. Johns, while his
life has had an important part in the
upbuilding and growth Of the faith in
Mankato. The original church built
for the parish was remodeled at a
cost of $500. A lot also was pur.
chased at a cost of $4,000 and the
parsonage was moved from the rear
of the church edif1ce and improve
ments made to it and remodeline
done which cost $1,400 more. Man
kato citizens and parishioners of St
Johns who have been particularly
active in the growth of the parish are
T. r. Coughlan, T. Taylor and Johr
Murphy. Many of the pioneer fami
lies of Mankato still worship at st
Johns. The church fills an important
place in the activities of the church
in this section of the state and its
growth is a tribute to it's pastor ant
the tireless workers who have so 10y
ally assisted him.

One of the professions that has
leaped to the front in recent years is
that of civil engineering. 1t is a pro-
fession that has been made neces-
cary because of the gigantic projects
that an enlightened civilization has
undertaken. Locally the service of a
competent engineer is indispensable
in the building of bridges, culverts,
the fixing OF boundary lines and sur
veying of all kinds. One of the most
competent firms in this line is that
of A. l.. & E. w. Goldenstar, who
have Offices in the |. o. o. F. Building.
They are graduates of high standing
and thoroughly competent for any
undertaking.
