Christmas Spruce Up


December 23, 1954, Appleton Post-Crescent

A remodeled St. Patrick's was finished just in time for Christmas celebrations in 1954.  The elaborate mosaic, using imported Italian stones, took a lot of planning and assembly, even venturing so far as New York in its various stages of completion.  Such a great gift to the parishioners for years to come.  But this day in 1954 had even more great news for area workers as the mills gave their employees a three day weekend and the variety stores of Schultz Brothers gave a bonus to its front line employees.  Many people in the area had a terrific Christmas that year.
