Monsignor E-obinson to Build' New i ' ' ' Church. I 11 is Wllh pardonable pride that the Catholics uf Denver will watch the1 I ' ! lion of the pretty new church of I ' 'he Annunciation in East Denver, for which plans have been completed and j work of excavation begun. For f many months a fund has been steadily growing for the expenses of building a j new house of worship and' when the I church is completed there will be pra- J tically no debt upon it. I While the building will not be a lux urious one it will be substantial and commodious and will supply the needs ff the growing congregation. The pastor. pas-tor. Monsignor Henry Robinson, is looking to comfort rather than extravagance, ex-travagance, and the church will be built in accordance" with his ideas of simplicity in churedy architecture. The material used. will be red pressed brick ;nd stone, and the Heating capacity will be between 700 and 800. Much interest in-terest is felt in the new church owing Sto the fact That the pastor is one of th pioneer priests of the Diocese of Den-ver- aid it has always been his desire J : 10 ?e. fitting temples reared in the . Queen City. . For many years the large congrega- J f ti"n of the Annuciation parish ha? been I attending service in the basement of , 1 he schKl house at Thirty-seventh and i Humboldt streets, but this room is now J required for school purposes. The en- 1 i rollmeiit is steadily growing and now 1 over 50(i children attend the Parochial j school. More room is constantly needed and the -floor which now serves as a chapel will be partitioned off into i ' school rooms. All' of the prominent ..business men connected with the Annunciation parish are interested in the erection of the church and have lent matrial aid m raising the funds necessary. Mon- ; signor Robin?on is to be congratulated "ln the success with which he has met in establishing the requisite fund and there is no doubt that the work will be pushed with all haste. A building , permit was issued on Monday and the cost of the building, exclusive of furnishings, fur-nishings, will be 126,000. and the interior in-terior decoration will amount to much ; more. Since the little church on Thirty- ; eighth street, near the bridge going i into Globeville, was abandoned, manv years ago, the congregation has had no regular house of worship and has Jbeen content to use the basement of the school house. The property re-i re-i cently acquired at the northeast cor- : ner of Thirty-sixth and Humboldt streets is a most desirable site for a church, and fhe new structure will be an ornament to East Denver. Church of the Holy Family to be Begun Be-gun Next "Week. In a few months the new Church of the Holy Family at. Berkeley will be ready for Service, as work will be be gun next week and will then be pushed with all rapidity. The necerV-ary money is on hand now and everything is in readiness for beginning the work. The new edifice will not be elaborate, but in a modest way will satisfy the needs of the Berkeley congregation. The people have to this time attended service serv-ice in the chapel of the College the Sacred Heart, but the new building will be in a more central location and will be more commodious. The church will be erected at the corner oi West Twenty-second avenue and Jefferson street, Berkeley, and the contracts will be let before the end of lliis week. The structure will be of red pressed brick and the cost will be in the neighborhood neighbor-hood of ?4.000. The money has been raised by the means of fairs, dances and other social parties, and especially by the efforts of the young people. The fair held immediately after Easter in : the old armory hall in North Denver ! netted $1,819.07, a sum seldom equaled by such an undertaking. The pastor of the congregation. Rev. Lawrence Fede, ' S. J., feels much gratified over the , prospects for a church and will work energetically to secure donations lor interior furnishings. Items of Interest. The j-ear book for the diocese of Denver Den-ver for the year 1904 is almost completed com-pleted and is a handsome publication. Last year was the first time an attempt was made to compile a year book, and the initial number was such a success that Bishop X. C. Matz this year authorized au-thorized James Phelan Cuddy, an old newspaper man and a friend of the charitable institutkis of Denver, to re- j new the experiment. The book this year is of pretty design and is beautifully beauti-fully illustrated. Photographs of prom-' inent'Catholic men and women are used and in every particular the statistics are most accurate. It is possible that the book will be ready for distribution by Sunday, and it will be sent throughout through-out the diocese. Mr. Cuddy has had wide .experience in compiling statistics for religious institutions, and the congregations con-gregations of the various churches are awaiting; with interest the appearance of the rear book. . . Handsomely engraved invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. John J. Hagus of 1959 Washington avenue to the ordination to the holy priesthood of their son, Louis Francis Hagus.

On the following Sunday the first solemn Mass will be said 'by the young priest in the same church. Invitations have been sent to a wide circle of friends, including includ-ing former students of the Immaculate Conception High school, where Mr. Hagus Ha-gus graduated in 189S. The ceremony will be most impressfve and will be participated in by almost every Catholic Catho-lic priest in the city. If possible. Rev. 31. W. Donovan, pastor of the church of Our Lady of Lourdes at Georgetown, a former schoolmate of Mr. Hagus, will attend and will take part in the ordination. Mr. Hagus will reach Denver about June 28. He will be detained a few-days few-days on the way home, stopping over at Springfield, O., to be made a deacon at the service which will make a classmate class-mate of his a priest of God. Many out of town friends and relatives will witness wit-ness the ordination of Mr. Hagus. -- ! The children of St. Elizabeth's school, to the number of fifty, received their first Holy Communion last Sunday morning at High Mass, a departure from the regular order of things. The class was escorted to the altar railing by the uniformed rank of the Knights of St. John and other societies affiliated with the church were in attendance. The regular choir of .thirty voices was heard for the last time for the summer, and sang with unusual feeling. On Monday the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua was observed at the same church, and Solemn High Mass was celebrated by Father Marcellus. The St. Anthony lily was blessed at this service. v The funeral of Sister Claudia Mac-Cauley Mac-Cauley of the order of Sisters of Lo-retto.

Miss Madora remained re-mained for the banquet of the Alumni association of the Immaculate Conception Concep-tion school on Thursday evening. The, contest for the medals donated by the late Captain Ives of the United States navy enlivened the last days of the school year for the children at the Immaculate Conception school.
