St. Joseph's Church, Calumet, Michigan
Diamond Jubilee Booklet Extractions - 1 August 1965
Copyright © 1995 Slovenian Genealogy Society International, all rights reseved
Background from Christine Jensen (5 May 1996)
The source is the soft cover booklet (72 pages) that St. Joseph's Church in Calumet, Michigan had printed to celebrate its Diamond Jubilee on Aug. 1, 1965. The founding date of the church was Nov. 29, 1890. My family helped found the church and my great-great uncle was the bishop in the Upper Penisula of Michigan at the time.
My father (now deceased) got a copy of the Jubilee Booklet shortly after and my step-mother has it. She let me copy it last November.
Christine extracted five short portions of this Jubilee Book, which are presneted below:
- Parishoners and Benefactors contributing to the decoration of the church (1965).
- First Confirmation Class of Present Church: 28 June 1908
- Confirmation Class, September 14, 1964
- Confirmation Class May 2, 1965
- List of Church members serviing in the armed forces during World War II (1941-1945)
- Jubilee Booklet Patrons (1965)
These lists of names are from the St. Joseph's Diamond Jubilee Booklet, 1890-1965
