Fine Prospects for St. Joseph’s.

Rev. Father Mark of St. Joseph College, has been traveling this summer in the interest of the college attendance. He came home Saturday in order to be present Sunday at the dedication of the new Catholic church at Remington. It will be good news to all Catholics and to Rensselaer people in general to learn that the college attendance will be increased this year beyond the previous anticipations of the faculty. Last years attendance was 110, and this year’s attendance will from present indications reach or exceed 175. The college is only prepared to take care of about that number and should the attendance continue to increase, a new building will have te be erected before another year.
