Cornerstone blessing in Knightstown

In this photo, a religious education class at Holy Trinity Parish in Edinburgh takes the opportunity to meet outside during nice weather. This photo originally appeared in The Criterion on May 20, 1977.

This photo shows the blessing of the cornerstone at St. Rose Church in Knightstown on Sept. 30, 1951. Archbishop Paul C. Schulte blessed the cornerstone, and a Mass on the occasion was celebrated by Father Thomas Kinnevey, a son of the parish. Since 2016, St. Rose Church has served as a chapel of St. Anne Parish in New Castle.
