DONATION II A helping "finan-
cial hand" is stretching from Will
mington to Milford these days.
The new st. Johns Catholic
Church building fund at Milford
will be swelled by $420 contributed
by members of st. Patrick's Church
in Wilmington, even though few Of
these parishiOners ever attend mass
in the Kent County church.
A special collection taken up
Sunday, January 81, in st. Pat
rick's netted the $42O for the Mil
ford building project which is un-
der the direction of the Rev. John
j. COrrigan, who is a native son Of
st. Patrick's parish.
Another tie which prompted the
assistance is that the Rev. F. x.
Fitzpatrick, pastor of the Whining
ton church, once held the same
post at St. Johns, and the Rev.
Anthony DiMichele, now first as
sistant at st. Patrick's, was an as
sistant in the Milford church some
years ago.
