st. Ignatius Church 103 Years
Old and Located in
Buchanan Valley
A PICNIC IS TO FOLLOW@
Knights of Columbus to Sup
ervise Jubilee in Connec-
ton With Service

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. 11.-Ten
miles from a railroad, five miles
from a trolley car, thirteen miles
from a movie house and four miles
from a garage, st. Ignatius Church
of Buchanan Valley, Adams county,
nevertheless continues after the
lapse of 103 years to hold its con-
gregation. It's an old yellow
pointed structure, which shows no
signs of decay, though 1T is hoary
with the storms of hard winters.
Its dead lie peacefully round about
and some of the graves date way
back into the msts of the nineteenth
century.
The Jesuits were the first priests
who opened this mission, and they
conducted it for years, riding miles
through the country and over the
mountains every week to reach
their charge. Then the congrega-
ton became part and parcel of the
Harrisburg diocese.
This crowd of rural Catholics
does not go into the highways and
byways looking for amusement and
pastimes. They have them right at
home. On August s there will be
held the annual field mass, with
benediction of the blessed sacra-
ment, conducted under a venerable
tree whose large limbs and thick
leaves make fitting canopy. The
Knights of Columbus will supervise
the day. The mass will begin at
11.45. to be followed by an old
fashioned picnic. This dinner is a
very necessary adjunct, as there is
no hotel conveniently near.
The advance announcement sent
out is unique. 1t says in part: See
our cameo church. She has Just
celebrated her 103rd birthday and
time hasn't written a wrinkle on
her placid brow. Come and worship
God in His temple not made with
hands. The robins will be there,
hymning, and the butterflies will
breathe their tiny prayers The
west wind will harp a lyric that is
older than the sea-"
Father w. w. Whalen, who is
the present rector of the ancient
church, said that August Is, the
commemoration of the Assumption
of Our Lady. will be day of in
nocent religious dissipation in Bu
chanan Valley. We'll turn into
churchless Druids," he remarked.
We'll offer the great sacrifice with
out a roof. where the acorns fall.
Wen eat meat that day, though
it's Friday, just as if we'd flung off
all church discipline. You see, be-
! cause of the greatness of this feast
of the Mother of Christ, the Cath
olic church relaxes her legislation
and we abstain from meat the Tues
day preceding, that being the vigil
of the celebration"
