1912: Bishop McFaul Blesses the New Addition To St Paul's


This is a very puzzling article, due to the fact that just what addition was made to the church. In going to St. Paul's and looking for the history of the church, I became even more confused. There is no mention on the website of a transition being made from the very original edifice up to the huge church shown in the graphic above. Was the edifice in the illustration the replacement for a smaller church? Time will tell,m or perhaps an historian from the legendary Parish will enlighten us.

Bill & Mike:

This IS Msgr Walter Nolan's St. John's in Princeton. The question is what is the addition referred to? It would appear that the church in the engraving was dedicated in the 1910 - 1913 era.
