The Church of the Holy Rosary, Chauncey street, near Reid
avenue, will be dedicated with all the beauty of the Roman Catholic ritual
Sunday, October 7, at 10 a.m. Bishop McDonnell will officiate and will
administer confirmation later in the day. This church was organized by the Rev.
D. Monteverde about five years ago and the businesslike way in which he went
about the work and the able manner in which he has managed the finances of the
church, presenting to the people at regular intervals printed copies of the
receipts and expenditures, have aroused the admiration of his congregation.
Father Monteverde informed the people at the outset that the church was their
property and asked not only their cooperation, but their advice and counsel. The
edifice speaks for itself, no lavish ornamentation has been indulged in, but one
of the finest temples in this city has been erected. The Rev. Matthew J. Flynn
is the assistant and is also organist. He is not only a great lover of music,
but is an artist of ability whose work is attracting widespread attention and is
bringing the Holy Rosary church to the attention of the music loving public.
Like the pastor, he is very popular among the people and his addresses at the
masses on Sundays are noted for their logic and for his familiarity with all
matters connected with the church. |
