Easter services and city election overlook Catholic churches
A Henry Times article on Easter preparations ignores St Mary’s and St Patrick’s Catholic churches despite their notable services. St Mary’s featured refined hymns and a sermon by Father Zumbuebl, while St Patrick’s held a mourning-free service with an offering of over 380 and a Catholic Church dedication discourse. The letter accuses the Times of anti Catholic bias and urges fair coverage in future editions.
