    REV. A. J. MENTINK

    Rev. A. J. Mentink, priest of St. Patrick's Catholic Church of Troy, Ohio, was born in Cincinnati, December 11, 1877, a son of Anthony and Rosalia (Weitershager) Mentink. There were ten children in the family. Those living are: Mary, now a sister of the order of St. Francis; A. J.; Rosalia, at home; Hugo A.; Anna B., and Ray. A. J. Mentink attended St. Gregory's preparatory seminary and Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West, Cincinnati, and after his ordination, was assigned to St. Anthony's Church, Cincinnati. He came to Troy March 30, 1906 to accept his present charge, and since he began his pastorate, many notable improvements have been made, including the handsome new church which was erected at an approximate cost of $60,000 and for which Father Mentink personally designed in plaster of Paris an exact miniature model; also the new parochial residence. He is now considering plans for a fine modern school building. Father Mentink's clerical jurisdiction is of no small extent, and the learned and pious pastor has gained for himself an enviable popularity, and the well-merited love and esteem of his parishioners. He is a fourth degree member of the Piqua Council, Knights of Columbus.
