$108,00(1 parish center which is
expected to be completed by Christ-
mas, the Rev. Henry Mctiiil, pastor
of Immaculate Conception Catho-
liv church, said Tuesday.

and appropriate rooms both for

suppers as there were no kitchen
facilities large enough to accom-
modate the public, club members
explained.
Clubs often found it impossible
to conduct meetings simultaneous-
ly as there was not enough space.
To solve these problems, the
structure has been designed to con-
tain three conference rooms, a li-
brary, kitchen facilities, a small
auditorium, a lounge, office space,
equipment rooms, and restroom
facilities. It will contain (1000
square feet.
Located on the vomer of Bolivar
and Second streets, the center is
being paid for by parish families.
A three-year pledge from each
wage-earner in the parish will cn-
able them to meet the diosican
quota and to realize approximately
half the cost o' the center. At
present $<>2,000 has been pledged.
Dr. (i. E. Adatui and Dr. L. W.
Mackenna are co-chairmen of the
campaign.
The parish, which is the only
Catholic church in Denton, was
completed in '057. It, too, was paid
by pledges made by families,

pleted, the summer Newman club
will say the rotary weekly in the
UB.
