Scope & Content |
Two copies of the 1925 "Report Of Receipts and Expenses" for St. Simon Catholic Church in Washington, Indiana. Father John T. O'Hare was the pastor and Father C. W. Burkart was the assistant pastor. Included is a alphabetized list of parishioners and the amounts each contributed to the church. On the next to last page is the 1925 financial statement for the church. The names listed in the People Field are a small portion of the people referenced in this item. On the first printed page is a drawing of the "St. Simon New Auditorium." On the fourth page the new auditorium is discussed that was intended as both a gymnasium for the St. Simon School but also as a "Parish center." A "Dollar A Sunday Club" was established in which parishioners would pay an extra $1 each Sunday in addition to their regular contribution to pay for the auditorium. St. Simon Catholic Church was constructed in 1886. In 2008 it was renamed Our Lady of Hope after the merger of St. Simon and St. Mary, the two Catholic parishes in Washington. This item was part of a large collection donated in 2012 to the Daviess County Museum by Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church. |
