THE CHUCCH ITSELF IS A MODEST STRUCTURE INDEED, BUT THERE ARE THOUSAND WHO WOULD BE COMPELLED TO VIEW ITS REMOVALOR DESTRUCTION, IN FAVOR OF A LARGER AND MORE COMMODIOUS EDIFICE WITH KEENEST REGRET. SUCH AN EPOCH MAKING EVENT.HOWEVER, WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO FOLLOW IN THE NOT DISTANT FUTURE BECAUSE OF THE IMPERATIVE DEMANDS OF ACTUAL NECESSITY. THE CHURCH AS IT NOW STANDS WAS ERECTED IN THE YEARS 1879. THRU THE HEROIC AND VALIANT ENDEAVORS OF EARLY AND FAITHFUL LOVERS OF THE PLACE ON ACCOUNT OF OUR LADY 'S FAVORS HERE OBTAINED. INNUMERABLE HAVE BEEN THE GRACES AND FAVORS RECEIVED FROM PUR DIVINC LORD IN THIS CHURCH OF THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY HELP OF CHRISTIANS. |
