Our church will be celebrating our centennial in September. Preparations have started. Last Saturday after Mass the first program recognized the descendants of the original members. That was fun, especially for us genealogists. The program next month will be memorabilia. The charter for the Knights of Columbus used to hang in the parish center. It disappeared and no one seem to know anything about where it may have gone. Pop went searching today. It was found in a storage room in the rectory, along with a lot of things that no one knew about. Priests change every so many years and the store room must have been a catch all for many things not needed. __The printing is so fancy it is hard to read. But there are three "Fields" listed. J.E., J.W. and C.J. It was in 1919. The J.W. would have been my Grandpa. J.E. = Uncle Jim (He would have been 18 then) and C.J. = Dad's Uncle Charles. I'm anxious to see what else is found.
