Dwenger, C.PP.S., Father Joseph, St. Mary's Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1865 February 13

Dwenger believes that the new church in St. Mary's will be built on the site of the old church as the Protestants expect to make up about three thousand dollars. The Celina Ohio church when completed will have a debt of only five hundred dollars. Priests are holding conferences regularly. A Lutheran preacher from Bremen, between St. Mary's and Minster, is about to become a Catholic. He is preaching Catholic doctrine and usages. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
