Dec. 15 in Merced history: St. Anthony's will have first mass
December 15, 1958: Father William O'Shea has announced that the first services to be held at the new $79,000 St. Anthony's Catholic Church, will be a solemn high mass Thursday at 7:30 p.m., the Feast Day of Our Lady.
Workmen this week were putting the finishing touches on the impressive red pumice brick structure. Pews from Oakland were assembled, the hardwood seats will accommodate 600 parishioners. Stained glass windows fashioned in Ireland, Father O'Shea's homeland will lend peaceful light to the church's interior.
