Dedication Sermons Highlight St Mary's Jubilant Parish
The Henry parish celebrated the dedication of its new St Mary’s Church with sermons by Bishop O’Reilly and Rev M Dillon. The history details German Catholic settlement, parochial school growth since 1869, and Fr Zumbuehl’s late tenure guiding the construction and debt clearance. Worship included choral works, a lecture on liberty, and confirmations of two classes.
