SAINT JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH
Catholic Church At WarrentonTo
Be Dedicated Sunday, May 12
Dedication services for
Saint Joseph the Worker
Catholic Church at Warren
ton will be held on May 12th.
The Most Reverend Vincent
S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh
will make the dedication at
the church, located 1% miles
from Warrenton on the War
renton-Norlina highway.
For many years. Catholic
Masses were said in private
homes of the parishioners,
then more recently, at the
Warrenton Hotel. Plans for
the church were begun in
1961 by Father Walter J.
Sullivan, then pastor of the
Henderson, Oxford, and War
renton Churches, and com
pleted very recently by the
present pastor, Father Ken
neth I. Parker.
"It is especially appropiate
that Bishop Waters should
have selected the title "St.
Joseph the Worker", since
the church is ir. Warren
County, which was named
for General Joseph Warren,
hero of the battle of Bunker
Hill," Father Parker said.
Plans for the building were
prepared by John Valentine
and Assoeia'es, Architects and
Engineers of Marshallburg, N.
C., and the actual construc
tion was done by Irvin Lan
caster, Contractor of Warren
ton. The cost of the struc
ture was slightly in excess
of $10,000. Built of concrete
block, the interior of the
church is partially finished
with Phillippine Mahogany
panelling.
At the present time, Mass
is said each Sunday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, for the 11
families, some 41 Catholics
which the church serves. The
dedication service, however,
will be held at a special 11:30
Mass, and the public is cord
ially invited to attend both
the Mass and Dedication Ser
vice, and to meet Bishop
Waters after the ceremony.
