The historical information contained in these sections is copied and reformatted from the Dedication Book of 1967-1968. Very few know of the work that was done to gather information about the early history of our parish. We are rich in tradition, and I am pleased that there is a medium now available to make this information easily accessible to all. We hope that you enjoy traveling through our past and experiencing the life and times of our early members - members whose contributions helped make our parish what it is today.  Dedication Book Committee The Dedication Book Committee consisted of Edward Klein, James Shaughnessy, Sr. Mary Jacqueline Ketter, Msgr. Raymond Must, Mrs. George J. Berry, Miss Mary Crawford, Mrs. James Pitcavage, Mrs. Peter V.B. Crandall, Mrs. Edward Siess, Mrs. George Edel, and Mrs. Carl Herbst. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Jack O'Neil who spent countless hours sorting through the old archives to develop the historical material replicated on this site. We thank them all for their tireless efforts of almost 35 years ago which have given us the story of our roots as a faith community. --the web committee |
