Dougherty County. It is inter
esting to note in an old clipping
from the “Albany News and Ad
vertiser,” dated November 25,
1882, that six of the nine mem
bers of the choir which sang the
dedication Mass were “our Jew
ish friends.”
During the years, the Catho
lic population of Albany has
shown a steady gain, and the
beloved old structure has for
several years been unable to
hold the large crowds of the
faithful attending services, de
spite the fact that today six
Masses are said every Sunday.
Upon completion of the new
church next year, the old build
ing, which is still in excellent
condition, will continue to be
used by the people of St. Tere
sa’s Parish. Present plans call
for at least one Mass in the old
building each Sunday for the
convenience of the Catholics re
siding nearby.

for the convenience of mothers
with small children.

new church were prepared by

sociates Inc., Albany. Bids for
construction of the new church
