South Easton Planning to Build Church

The ANCHOR

In

Constt'uction of the new Hoiy Cross Church, South Easton, will start shortly. The Purchase Street edifice will combine the traditional features of New England archi­ tecture with functional changes required to accomodate the new role of the congregation as set forth by the recent Vatican Council II in Rome. The white wooden structure surmounted by a steeple will have four colonial columns at the front. The Altar of Sacrifice will face the congregation-400 in the nave and 110 in each transept. Cl)mmunicants will receive Holy Communion while standing and thus the altar railing will be eliminated. The organ and choir will be situated at the front of the nave Turn to Page Eighteen
