Campaign to fund new Erie orphans home launched
Local Catholics from St Thomas and St LeFleur churches announce a drive to raise funds for a modern Erie orphan home to replace the 50 year old facility. A site has been secured and construction is hoped to start this summer with an initial $200000 raised in the first days. St Joseph’s Home has long aided diocesan orphans and the new asylum aims to house over three hundred children with expanded, adequate accommodations. Bishop John Mark Gannon’s letter read at services urged immediate action.
