      REV. JOHN ANDRZEJEWSKI,
  
  John Andrzejewski[p. 620] pastor of St. Mary's Polish Catholic Church of
  New Castle, has had charge of this parish since 1905, which includes 250
  families, covering 1,400 souls. Notwithstanding big responsibilities,
  Father Andrzejewski is a young man, having been born February 2, 1874,
  at Milwaukee, Wis. His parents were Ignatius and Victoria (Wilebski)
  Andrzejewski.
  
  The parents of Father Andrzejewski were born in Poland. They came to
  America in 1869 and settled at Milwaukee, Wis., where the mother still
  resides. The father engaged in merchandising. He died in 1906. They have
  six children living.
  
  Father Andrzejewski was primarily educated in the parochial schools of
  Milwaukee, continued studies at Marquette College, Milwaukee, for four
  years, and completed his education at St. Paul Seminary. On November 30,
  1896, he was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Ireland, of St.
  Paul Seminary, and he was stationed first as assistant priest of St.
  Luke's Church of St. Paul. Six months later he was appointed pastor of
  St. Peter's Colored Church, St. Paul, and then took charge of a lonely
  mission situated fifteen miles from any railroad line. He labored there
  for six years and his ministrations are remembered with gratitude and
  affection by the Catholics scattered through that section. He then was
  appointed asssistant pastor of the Butler Parish, in Butler County,
  Pennsylvania, and in 1905 he became pastor of St. Mary's at New Castle.
  His people love and reverence him. In addition to the usual duties of
  the parish priest, he has under his charge a prospering parish school
  which has an enrollment of sixty pupils.
