My family is now writing a book about him, my mother , and Padre Pio. I would love to know who were the priests at that time and what was the congregation’s Ethnic/Nationality demographics of that pre World War I era. His parents were from Austria, so I assume that mostly Germans and Slavic Immigrants attended the church. Thank You and May Our Lord Jesus Bless the Church and her parishioners!
