A brand new<\/em> Catholic church:<\/p>\n

Well, who allowed this to happen? Someone fell asleep on the watch, I do believe. Dick Vosko…call your office.<\/p>\n

During Sunday’s procession, church members gathered outside the old church at 311 S. George St., following the last service at the church. <\/p>\n

Church members then began their long walk to the new church, carrying statues, items from the altar and the Eucharist to their new home. <\/p>\n

One of the items was a large crucifix which held a practically life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The sculpture was separated from the crucifix and was being carried by a group of young people. <\/p>\n

"Some of these objects will take a couple of people to carry," said John Sherwood, a church volunteer and coordinator of the dedication. <\/p>\n

The procession was draped in formality. <\/p>\n

David Galvin, a deacon at St. James, carried a monstrance, which is a gold vessel for carrying the body of Christ. Galvin walked under a canopy being carried by four men and the smell of incense wafted through the air as the party walked past. <\/p>\n

Many of the church members participating in Sunday’s procession wore red clothing, which was to symbolize the blood of St. James.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
