St. Christopher's Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann .. ——• Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses March 19th is the Communion Sunday for the young people of St. Christopher. They will receive at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. There was a very fine turn-out of men last Sunday for their Communion breakfast. Approximately seventy-five were present. Mr. Al Feeney, ex-Sheriff, delivered an inspiring address on the subject of Youth and Juvenile Delinquency. Father Lindemann and Father Doyle made a few remarks. It is hoped to have these Communion breakfasts at least twice a year. Monday, the 20th, is the Feast of St. Joseph. Holy St. Joseph, pray for us. . . , At the regular meeting of the Altar Society last Wednesday night, ticket books were distributed to all members present, and sent to those members who did not attend the meeting. This will be the ladies’ project during Lent to raise funds for their work, and it is hoped that every woman will do her part. Catherine Medenwald, who presented her Irish numbers in costume, as well as three of her own compositions, was very much enjoyed by all. The officers of the Society, and members, wish to thank her for playing for them. The first regular weekly card party after Lent will be held on April 13th. No date has been decided for the next dance to be held at St. Christopher for the young people, but there will be one shortly after Lent. Sunday, March 19th, is laetare Sunday. A special collection will be taken up Sunday at all the Masses, at the appeal of our Bishop Joseph the support of the bishops emergency fund. American war prisoners in Japan, in the r Philippines, as well as in Germany and Italy have been and are aided with funds of the American bishops war emergency collec- ' tion. “It is Christ who appeals to us in behalf of the starving children, women and non-combatants. —” “A Concise Catholic Dictionary” has ben published by the Bruce Publishing Company of Milwaukee. The book contains simple definitions of Catholic words, with basic derivations and pronunciations, for use in the home, school, library or clerical office. The work has been compiled by Robert C. Broderick. \ His Holiness Popo Pius XII marked the fifth anniversary of his coronation, not with the traditional ceremonies, but did impart his Apostolic Benediction from the loggia of St. Peter basilica last Sunday. While the evening services being held at St. Christopher during Lent are fairly well attended, there is room for many more. ’ One cannot help but wonder, knowing how crowded the Church is at the three different Masses on Sunday, where everybody is on Wednesday and Friday nights. Lent is half over, but it is never too late to start making a good Lent—until Holy Saturday. Don’t be sorry that you didn’t do, but be glad and happy that you did. The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and Him only shalt thou serve. St. Luke 4: 8. * Nora Bray
