will be blessed for Divine services by Father Kane.
n invitation to say the first Mass in this new chapel was extended
by the Rector to Dr. James W. Gibbolls, lornicr rector who now is pastor
of the Church of the Nativity. Due to parochial commitrnents. however,
Dr. Gibbons was unable to accept. no nskcll, however, that he be remem-
bcrod in the Mass, and expressed tbc hope that he might be privileged in
the near future to olfcr up a Mass in the chapel which is so much a part
of his imagination and plannin .
With the completion of the chapel, and service: now I reality rather
than a dream, concerted effort from now on will ‘be centered on finishing

and a vast assemblage of the laity, including outstanding leaders in the
business and civic life of the city, state and nation
