Dedication of Reformed Church at Burnside

Otthon, Oct. 28, 1934

A large number of faithful followers filled the Hungarian Evangelical and Reformed Church to capacity last Sunday. Even the additional one-hundred seat balcony was packed.

The dedication ceremony was conducted by Dr. Louis Nanassy, assisted by J. M. Hanko, S. E. Bologh, J. Meligh, G. Garay, and Daniel Bodor, visiting pastors. The church choir sang beautifully under the direction of William Boros.

The congregation expressed its gratitude to Rose Debreczenyi, who presented the church with $250.00, which amount made the building of the balcony possible.

The Illinois Steel Company donated the steel frame and members of the church built the balcony during their spare time. The new chandeliers were donated by the Young People's Society.

After the church ceremony, a banquet which provided for 400 persons, followed at the Magyar Home.
