The ceremony will be performed by the Rt. Rev. Mgr. John H. Oechterlng, V. G., Rector of St. Mary’s church, Ft. Wayne, Ind. He will also deliver ah address appropriate to the oc£ssion. The blessing and laying of the corner-stone is the first benediction that the Catholic church gives to an edifice is erected for the service of God. The corner-stone is blessed by the reciting of appropriate prayers, and the sprinkling of Holy Water, and it is then placed into position. Besides this several Psalms and the Litany of All Saints are chanted, and the entire foundation is blessed with Holy Water. It is a beautiful ceremony well worth seeing. Our friends are kindly invited to attend. The stone Itself is a beautiful block of Bedford rock, and its neat appearance is, indeed, a credit to the stone-cutter’s art and well in keeping with the elaborate architecture of the church.
