St. John the Baptist is the first diocesan parish in the di ocese of Lincoln to reach its Centenary Year. It is true that Catholicism in the Plattsmouth area reaches back to the Coro nado Expedition of 1541. It is even possible that the first Martyrs in thU area to shed their blood tor Christ did so on Plattsmouth soil. The town was founded and planned by a Catholic, Samuel Martin in 1852 and incorporated by him in 1854. But formal or ganization of a parish began only in May, 1859. The first Mass for the new congregation was said on July 7, 1859, by Fa ther Francis Cannon O.S.B., in the Conrad Schlater home. The Fitzgerald Brothers still living In Plattsmouth are direct descendants of the Conrad Schlaters. Another direct de scendant, Eugene Tighe, is com ing all the way from California to be present at The Centen ary. The first Pari.-h Church was built in 1863 by Father Em manuel Hartig O.S.B., at 4th St. and Second Ave. It still stands and is now a residence. The present church was begun by Father Francis Bobal and is largely the gift of the Hon. John Fitzgerald, Nebraska's First Millionaire. During the last year, the Church underwent extensive re pair, redecoration and the addi tion of a 40'xl6' sacristy and 36' xlO' vestibule. Some 15,000 hours of volunteer work went into the repair job. Only the Perma stoning of the new vestibule, the preparation and installing of the seven new stained glass windows were done by profes sionals. The cost of restoring Old St. John's is estimated at about $45,000. But the actual outlay of money was only about $10,000 because of the volun teer labor. The Solemn Centenial Mass and the Oentenlal Dinner and Program ire open to the" public. Tickets ta the dinner may be purchased' at the Wee Ward robe, Feldhousen Drugs, and B. & H. Shoe Store.
