St. Anthony's HISTORY BY DECADES |
1913 at St. Anthony’s St. Anthony School boasts an enrollment of 112 boys and 118 girls;
Sacred Heart Academy is enjoying the 3-story addition built to
connect the Sisters’ residence with the new building; Our
Sunday Visitor is placed on sale for the first time; Fr. Kaul begins negotiations with the Redemptorist Fathers to purchase
the estate of Thomas A. Willson in Ephrata, at the request of
Willson’s widow, Clare. (In existence today, the Redemptorist Fathers do purchase the
property and name the mansion St. Clement’s Mission House. Our Mother of
Perpetual Help parish is located on the property today, still staffed by the
Redemptorists.) In December of 1913, the first nativity scene is
placed in the St. Anthony side chapel. |
