Dedication

To the people of Palmer Road Parish who, from 1890 to the present, built, furnished, and maintained this Temple of God named for Mary, Mother of God in her Immaculate Conception with special devotion to her mother, Anne, in whom she was immaculately conceived. We hope that this booklet will encourage more people at home and abroad to visit and enjoy this magnifi— cent church so that the words of the poet would not apply:

“Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,

And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Thomas Gray

”Elegy in a Country Churchyard"
