The new Catholic t'hurch of Our Holy Redeemer will be dedicated Sun¬ day, June 11, by Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn. Ground was first broken for the building of this church in Aug¬ ust, 1909, the corner stone being laid the following year, Monsignor McNa¬ mara assisting at both services.
The first services were held on East¬ er Sunday, consisting of two low mass¬ es and high mass and musical Vespers in the evening. 'I'he need of the church was greatly felt by the parishioners, especially during the summer season, the old church being entirely too small for the congregation, not seating all the people at any service held on Sun¬ day.

Easter services at the Methodist Episcopal Church were of a high order in both interest and attendance. The audience in the morning filled tho pews and demanded chairs in addition. A double choir, the younger being led by . Miss Annie Eldridge, greatly pleased those present and called out many fav¬ orable comments. The Sunday School session was also unusually large and interesting, the special exercises con¬ sisting mostly of Easter hymns and carols sung by the school. At the evening hour the congregation filled the auditorium and overflowed into the chapel. The large choir, the ladies dressed in white, presented a pretty picture as it was flanked on either side by banks of palms and liliet. The cantata, "The Easter King," was giv¬ en witb splendid efTect. The soloists were at their best and the choruses were rendered in superb style. As those participating were all residents of Freeport and members and friends of the church, the performance reflect¬ ed distinct credit on the village itself. Mr. and Mrs. George T. Van Riper, chorister and organist, deserves great praise for the success of their work. On Monday Easter flowers were sent by tbe ladies to the aged, the sick and the shat-ins.
