Notes
2023-08-25 - Church was demolished in 2015. Congregation merged with St. Joseph's on Walnut Street and is now known as St. Charles Borromeo Parish.
Judy Brown of the Ashland Historical Society assisted in the removal of the pipe organ in October 2015. She told me the organ was purchased by someone in the northern Philadelphia area.
As part of the World Religion studies during my sophomore year of high school, we attended the morning Mass for the parochial elementary school and then the priest met with our class and explained differences between the Catholic church and the Protestant denominations to which most of us belonged. I remember seeing a pipe organ in the gallery during our time there. -Jack Umholtz
2023-08-26 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. According to the online parish history at: https://www.geocities.ws/keebie.geo/stmauritius.html , *"In 1910 the old rectory was rebuilt at a cost of over $8,000.00. Father Misteli also purchased a new pipe organ."* -Jim Stettner
