August 4, 2023CONSECRATION.
The new Catholic Church at Harpers-Ferry, was consecrated, on Sunday last, by Archbishop WRITEFIELD of Baltimore, aided by the Rev. Mr. GILDEA, and two other clergymen from Maryland. Indisposition prevented us from witnessing the ceremony, but we learn that it was interesting and imposing.
The Church is a very neat edifice, built upon ground given by the Wager family. It does great credit to the indefatigable Pastor, under whose auspices it was commenced and finished, and to the community who contributed to its erection.– It stands upon the western hill, and adds much to the village by way of ornament.
