szla, Thank you for all the great information about St. Francis. For some reason or other I haven't been able to find much info about St. Francis D'Assisi. The website is hard to negotiate and navigate and I haven't been able to come by the detail info you provided. Thanks, again. Are or were you a parishioner of St. Francis? Are you familiar with the neighborhood. if you look NW of the church there is a abadoned factory with one of the old style water towers. Do you happen to know what that factory was and if it was a place of employment of parishioners from St. Francis. Kind of like the "Dodge Main" of the west side.
