' Statesman, Salem, Ore., Thursday, April 7, 1955 (Sec. 2)-5 .The eld St. Joseph's Church (shown above) long a Salem landmark, will be rated soon to make way for erection of a new parish house and auditorium. The wooden structure, which could seat 600 when It was built 66 years ago, has not been used for Worship since a new parish church was constructed several years ago. Barely discernible in background is Sacred Heart Academy steeple. (Statesman I ! PhotO) Church 's Razing to Mark Era 's Passing An era of Catholic progress in Salem' will pass when the old, wooden structure formerly used as St. Joseph's Church is razed soon to make way for a new rectory and auditorium. The" church was built in 1889 at the corner of Chemeketa and N. - Cottage streets on what was then called ."Piety HOI." . Actually it was the young par ish's second church. The first was dedicated cm April 10. 1864, to St John the Evangelist But when the new church was constructed in 1889 it was placed under the patronage of St. Joseph because there already was a church at Oregon City named after St John. Father White - . Father J. S., White was pastor of the new church. At that time there were four other parishes in Marion County the oldest at St. Paul. Others were: at St Louis, . Gervais (which served Brooks par ish) and the Benedictine Abbey at Mt. Angel. Sacred Heart Academy, adjacent to the church, had been founded in 1863 and by 1889 had an enroll ment of "eighty day scholars and thirty boarders" under the Sisters of the Holy Names. j The linen used in the jservice of the altar of the first and present churches in those early days were made by Mother Veronica and one of her companions. Church Blessed Archbishop Gross blessed the new church March 24", the third Sunday of Lent The Statesman at that time carried a lengthy story. The reporter noted that the Arch bishop's sermon lasted 40 minutes, but the paper printed the full text. One of the highlights was music furnished by the 18-piece Mt. Angel band. The pari. house, which also is to be razed, was built by Father' .White in 1893. A local newspaper of the time referred to it as "a valuable addition to the magnifi cent property on the hill." Increasing Need Under the Rev. Theodore Ber nards, who same to St. Joseph's in 1934, there was felt the increas ing need for a new and more fit ting church structure. Under his direction and later under that of the Rev. Joseph E. Vanderbeck New Comet Discovered MOUNT PALOMAR, Cal.
