CHURCH 116 YEARS OLD

St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church of Doylesburg Celebrates - B. V. 
Monahan One of Speakers

Special to the Tribune.
  Lewistown, August 22. - Eighty members of Sacred Heart parish of this 
place attended the 116th anniversary service of the St. Mary's Roman 
Catholic church of Doylesburg.  Rev. Father Phelan, of the cathedral at 
Harrisburg, celebrated the field mass, the little church being too 
small to accommodate half of those present, and read the church 
history. Father F. C. Noel, of Chambersburg; Frank P. Duggan, 
Lewistown, and B. V. Monahan, Altoona, were the speakers.  The original 
church building was erected in 1802 and remodeled in 1850.
  Father F. C. Noel spoke in a reminiscent way telling many interesting 
incidents during his years of missionary work in Path Valley.
