St Patricks Catholic Church Dedicated Tuesday May 17 1904
An English Gothic from the point
view of art it is perfect in its solid sim
plicity
As to its appointments and furnish
ings they are the latest most approved
and up-to-date
The Midland Glass and Paint Co of
Omaha furnished the art windows
They are works of art in fact and are
said to be the prettiest in the Lincoln
diocese The League of the Sacred
Heart donated the large front window
which contains a full length figure of
Christ exposing His heart an emblem
of love
The church is illuminated by electri
city the globes being placed in the ceil
ing Twenty five candle power Merid
ian white frosted lamps are used giving
a soft mellow and beautiful effect
A modern pattern hot air furnace
provides tho necessary warmth
The Brulmaier Co of Dubuque la
made the pews and altar The altar is
a superb and impressive Gothic effect in
butternut wood and gold
The architects have not overlooked
its acoustic properties they are quite
perfect a conversational tone being
audible distinctly in every part of the
church
An excellent and praiseworthy feature
of the construction is the inclined floor
ST PATRICKS CHURCH DEDICATED
Handsome Edifice Crowded to Witness the Solemn
and Impressive Ceremonials Superb
Historical Sketch
St Patricks Catholic church of our
city was solemnly dedicated to the wor
ship and servico of God Tuesday morn
ing with all tho pomp and splendor and
ceremonial of tho great church The
Rt Rev Bishop Thomas Bonacum of
Lincoln officiated assisted by Rev
Daniel Fitzgerald of Grafton Rev LW
Winzel of Ilorudon Kansas and Rev J
W Glenn of Atwood Kansas in addi
tion to tho local pastor Rov J J Lough
ran
Tho procession was formed before the
altar at ten oclock and in turn the ex
terior and interior of tho edifice were
formally dedicated by the bishop and
assistants according to tho impressive
and elaborate ritual of the church
After the concl usion of this ceremonial
solemn high mass followed conducted
by Rev Daniel Fitzgerald of Grafton as
celebrant with full chorus choir and
orchestra Dr S C Beach directed
tho music with Miss Millie Elbert as
organist Tho choir was constituted as
follows Sopranos Mrs Peter Foxen
Miss Rose Elbert Miss Sadie OConnell
altos Mrs George Elbert Mrs Avoline
Perrine tenors S B McLean J W
Selby J A Beyrer bassos J A
Schmitz J R McCarl Tho orchestra
was composed of W J McGillin violin
U B Clark cornet J A Gaarde clari
net II P Sutton bass violin The
mass sung was Henry Farmers superb
production in B flat which was finely
rendered
Following the celebration of the mass
Bishop Bonacum delivered the sermon
of tho occasion His theme was Tho
Cardinal Doctrines of the Church of
Christ which was given comprehen
sive and finished treatmont by the
bishop and was a strong statement of
the faith as held by tho church in whose
episcopacy he serves
Then ensued the most impressive
scene and coremony of tho dny tho con
firmation of a class of 84 girls and boys
and a few adults The forty or more
girls were dressed in white and wore
white veils It was a beautiful incident
a tender appealing one to all During
this sacrament two fine musical num
bers wero rendered An Ave Maria
by Mesdames Foxen and Elbert and a
duo I Will Extol Thee by Messrs
McLean and McCarl
Tho decorations of the church wero
simple but pretty and effective Stream
ers of rod white and blue bunting were
draped from the ceiling in graceful
curves and folds A wealth of potted
plants cut flowers etc on altar windows
and other points of vantage gave a bright
dash of color to the scene
Rov Loughran and tho members of
St Patricks parish are proper subjects
for congratulation upon tho fact and
the manner of celebrating its consumma
tion
With a brief account of the dedication
description of the church and sketch of
tho organization The Tribune submits
two half tones one of the new church
and the other of its pastor They speak
for themselves
The new church property embracing
parsonage lots etc is ono of the most
valuable in Southwestern Nebraska and
is no less a joy to the parishioners than
a credit to the city of McCook
A happy feature of this dedication is
the fact that the church is absolutely
free of indebtedness and tho unpleasant
task of raising tho shortage at the dedi
cation was thus obviated Would such
were the case at all dedications
In making inquiries as to date of dedi
cation of the original churchthe opinion
was expressed that it had never been
formally dedicated and The Tribune
has no data to the contrary How
is it

room
In summing up the excellencies of the
building one who has been over the dio
cese and has seen every church therein
states This is the prettiest best-appointed
best finished and most up-to-date
church in Lincoln diocese Hence
the Catholic people and their kind
neighbors of McCook may well feel
proud of this new house of worship
The members of the building commit
tee Messrs J II Bennett CJOBrien
P F McKenna James McAdams and
George Elbert deserve large credit and
unstinted praise for their faithful and
efficient efforts They bought the mater
ials and hired the day labor for the con
struction
The architects were Fisher Lawrie of
Omaha James McAdams one of the
building committee was general super
intendent of construction and purchas
ing James Rupp of Hastings was fore
man of the brick masons George
Younger of Box Elder was foreman of
the wood workers George Elbert of the
committee was foreman of the painters
and J H Yarger foreman of plasterers
The seating capacity of the church is
about 500 Its cost is in the neighbor
hood of 10000
