The trip I -vv ill be an eventful one for Father 1 Francis, by reason of the fact that 1 h.-fore returning to America he will I -o to his old home in Germany, from I v hieh he was exiled more than a quar- 1 mr of a century ago. In lSTn, rme I time in -August. Father Francis, then j i young Franciscan father, with three f other father and three brothers, were I driven from the monastery at Fulda, I C.ermany. by order of the military I ' forces.

YYi:h the most impressive ceremonies I fT the Catholic religion lhe corner-I corner-I t-tone of the new Church of the Holy I Family was laid Sunday afternoon. As I lhe dele-gate of Pishop Matz. Mon-l Mon-l , signer Henry Kobinson. officiated, and iw large number of priests from ali pans of the city were present. Kneeling Kneel-ing around the structure, with the warm sun beating upon them, the con- negation for whose benefit the church is being built responded to the prayers ! of the officiating clergymen. Delega tions from the large Catholic orders attended, notably the Knights of Columbus Co-lumbus and the Knights of St. -John. J Monsignor Robinson was assisted in the service by Rev. Father Schuler. S. J.. president of the .College of the I Sacred Heart. Rev. Hugh L. McMen- j- namiu, c haplain of the Mercy sanitar- ium, and Rev. Lawrence Fede, S. J.. pastor of the new church. The ser- mon was delivered by Father McMen- ; namin and was an eloquent tribute to I the zeal of Father Fede, and expressed I a wish that the new church will be the means of drawing people nearer to God and spreading the gospel of Catholicity in Berkeley, in the heart I of which the building is being erected. Father Fede has worked energetical- , ly to secure the money for the church i building and has now succeeded be- yond even hi? most sanguine hopes. ;i He was chaplain of the Mt. St. Yin- j cent orphanage, and as pastor of the Church of the Holy Family conducted I ; services every Sunday in the chapel' of the college, w hetg the devout for :- miles around gathered. Many months' ag-o Father Fede conceived the idea of j building a modest church which would more easily accommodate the growing com; regal ion. and received-permission f Bishop Matr, to establish a parish of his own in Berkeley. He immediate- ly began the collection of funds for this purpose, and entertainments were I given by the young people of the con- gi. gation to raise the required amount. The chtrch will be a pretty structure S4xS4 fet, and is being built.-so that it may later be utjilized as a .school house, vrhen the parish funds 'will w arrant ar-rant attempting such-a thing,- It faces west and is in the most desirable -part of Berks-ley. The interior furnishings will be artistic in the extreme and plans are being laid for the 'fitting up of the altar in a handsome, manner. Various committees are in charge of erec.'dng. the building, as assistants to Father Fede. ' They are: Church committee Marion, chairman; ,T. Early. secretary; V Swan-! Swan-! wick. treasurer. Building com-! com-! mittee John Carberj-y, clta.irman: Thomas Early. B. White, J. Kavanaugh and H. O. AYimbush. At the conclu sion of the services Sunday a reception recep-tion waj tendered the priests participating, partici-pating, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 'a,rl.icrry. ,s soon as the congregation grows in rftrength and its finances are in hotter hot-ter cvondition, another building will be crers:ed for church usare. nid the preM:t structure will'be-a jiarochial school.
