St. Andrews
Opens Drive
The parishioners of St. Andrews Mission have initiated
a capital fund raising campaign, to construct a new
church and a parish administration building.
The campaign is being directed by John V. McCarthy,
and Associates, Catholic Financial Consultants of Detroit.
In announcing the .,eam-'
Pi-ign^jhe.^Rev...Joseph, B.(
Noelke, pastor, cited the
crowded conditions at Mass
on Sundays, the ever-increasing number of children at-
tending Confraturnity .of
Christian Doctrine Classes
and the future hopes of the
parishioners of St. Andrews
to reach full parish status
with a resident pastor.
The cost of the new church
and parish administration
building is estimated at 300,-
000. The purpose of the campaign is to raise as much as
possible of this amount in a
24-month period.
Serving as general co-
chairmen are Eugene Carpentier and Larry Skinner.
Group leaders are Douglas
Elfring, Thaddeus Kuyda,
Ausrust Janovits, James Lyon,
Michael Pogliano, Kenneth
Smith. William Delhey and
Chet Borlet.
The active phase of the
campaign will run until August 31, and at that time a
continuation and follow-up
committee will be formed to
function throughout the 24-
month pledge payment period, the pastor said.
St. Andrews Church was
founded here with 54 families, and first services were
held in an old schoolhouse
east of Saline on US-12.
Catechism classes were in the
old Mills house, now gone.
The parish now numbers
247 families.
Used in the services at the
old schoolhouse was an old
pump organ that had been in
use on the front lines during
World War H; Mr. and .Mrs.
Carl Mueller got it from the
Holy Ghost Fathers Mission
Seminary in Ann Arbor, kent
it at their home, and took it
to church each Sunday. Mrs.
Mueller was organist.
Planning for the present
church began in 1951; it
was built in' 1953 and the
first services were held there
in September of that year.
