FOR A NEW CHURCH The Fourth House of Worship in the Suburb of Brookland, CORNER STONE 70 BE LAID TOMORROW A Large Gathering of Distinguished Catholic Clergy Expected. PLANS OF THE BUILDING Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock the corner stone of the fourth church struc- ture in Brookland will be laid. This time it will be St. Anthcny’s Catholic Church, which will be located on the west side of 12th street near Lansing street. Cardinal Satolli will perform the ceremony of lay- ing the corner stone and Bishop O'Gorman Will deliver the address. The singing will be furnished by the Paulist and Marist fathers and members of the Catholic Uni- versity and colleges In the District. An invitation has been extended to the entire faculty of the Catholic University, the Holy Cross Order, the Marist and Paulist fathers, besides the clergy of all the churches throughout the District. Rep- resentatives of the different Catholic so- cieties will be present, and a goodly num- ber is expected from points outside. The New Building. The frontage of the church will be about 40 feet, with a depth of 80 feet. The back, after allowing for the sacristies, will be about 55 feet. The walls up to the main floor will be constructed of red bricks, laid in dark red mortar. The body of the build- ing will be of frame, the whole presenting a neat, modest structure of simple archi- tecture. The roof will be covered with cwe press shingles, stanea a very dark color. An octagon-shaped belfry will surmount the front gable, and the long, simple roof lines will be broken by small dormer win- dows, which are :ntended to ventilate the interior. The entrance will be through an open timber porch, located in the center of the front of the building, leading to quite a spacious vestibule, thence to the body of the church. The pews, which will be of polished oas, especially designed by the architect, will be reached by a wide center aisle and two side aisles. The sanctuary will have a depth of 28 feet and a width of 20 feet, and will be approached by doorways on the north and south sides, each leading to a large sacristy. Ample space has been al- lowed for two side altars, that of St. Mary and St. Joseph, which will be erected when the building is completed. Special attention has been given to the designing of the large rose window, which will be octagon-shaped, over the main altar. The choir will be accommodaied by a gallery reaching across the entire width of the building. Under the gallery and on each side of the vestibule will be located the confessionals, and the baptistry will stand in the southeast corner, near the entrance. The entire cost will be about $7,000. ‘The contract has been given to Messrs. Jo! T. Hare and Louis Byrnes of Brooklani Mr. G. A. Dessez of Washington, the are chitect, has paid special attention to ever> detail of the designing of the building. The Corner Stone. The corner stone has been kindly present- ed by Mr. T. Hany of Washington. It is a brown stone 13 inches by 13 Inches by 21 inches. In the center of the stone ‘s a Cala- trava cross, with the letters A. D. in he lower left-hand corner, and 18% in the lower right-hand corner. In the stone will be placed some current coins and copies of the daily papers. It is probable there will also be a piece of parchment, on which will be written the names of the present pope, Leo XIII, Cardinal Gibbons, the Commissioners of the District, Bishop Keane, Rev. Dr. Garrigan, Grover Cleve- land, Cardinal Satolli, and the present pus- ter, Rev. D. C. De Wulf. Growth of the Parish. The history of the church has been un- like that of any other similar structure. It was in the spring of 1891 that Miss Antoin- ette Margot’s house on the Bunker Hill read was completed with two spacious par- lors on the first floor on the east side, which she intended to use as an art studio. Finding the great necessity of a Catholic Church in Brookland, she offered these par- lors to the cardinal for a chapel. Permis- sion was given to hold services there in the fall, and on September 19, 1891, the first mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Mac- kin, now pestor of St. Paul's Church on 15th and V streets. Father Mackin kindly presented the altar, vestments and neces- saries to the rising church. From that time on until the fal! of 1892 there was no regular pastor, the priests from Washing- ton and the Catholic University filling the pulpit. In the fall of 1892 Rev. D. C. De Wulf, having been appointed pastor of the Soldiers’ Home Church, was enabled to take upon himself also the Catholic Chapel in Brookland, now known as St. Anthony, Since then Rev. D. C. De Wuif has been an able pastor, which position he now holds, The Sunday school was then brought to the chapel and better organized. Heretoe fore the children had received religious ine structions at the Paulist fathers’. Many donations have been presented to the chapel, one of the most prominent be- ing a large statue of St. Anthony by Miss Julia Austin of Vermont. It has Leen the enerous contributions of the friends and congregation which have enabled the pres ent church to be built. Plans for the Fi ire. Great consideration and foresight has been displayed in the situatioa of the pres- ent church. The space left on the corner of 12th and Lansing street will be the site of a future large church, then the present building will be used for a school, while ground has been left on the south side for a sisters’ home if necessary. The pastoral residerce will be on Lansing street below the future large church. The entire ground is 150 by 150 feet, and will ultimately cone tain, as has been mentioned, four buildings, Of course, it will take many years to complete these plans, and the congrega- tion and its wealth will have to increase. Much interest is being shown by the con- gregation in the present event. This is only a stepping stone to a larger work, but with the hearty good will and willing aid of the members and friends of the church the demands of this great undertaking will be met. The church has a fine choir, of which Mrs, Chas. Hetfield is organist and Prof. Cari Burg, director. The Sunday school is in a flourishing condition, with an able corps of teachers. The congrega- tion is increasing rapidly and displaying much interest and earnest work.
