After overnight study of the Presi-

a Homecoming for the members of st.
Peters Parish. 1t is well known that
families have left Oakland during re-
cent years for the purpose Of finding

settled chiefly in Pittsburgh, Washing
ton and Baltimore. A committee was
appointed to begin collecting names
and addresses Of all such persons who
were at one time members of the par
ish. Those who were appointed are:
M. ]. Pendergast, Edward O'Donnell
Thomas Hughes and William R. Pen
dergast.
The Homecoming will take place
some time in the early summer. One
of the outstanding features of the oc-
casion will be a display of the first
set of white vestments worn in ST.
Peters church in the beginning of the
Parish. The original chalice used at
the opening of the old church will also
be on display. Former parishioners
are asked to send in their names in
