ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH f Rev. L. A. Lindemann. r Pastor Sunday Masses: 8:00 o’clock Weekday Masses7:oo o’clock The members of the Altar Society and all the ladies of the Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass on Sunday morning. Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Mr. Joseph Rosner, age 86 years, who passed away last Thursday, August 31st. The parishioners of St. Christopher owe Mr. Rosner a great debt of gratitude, as he was no doubt the greatest benefactor of the Church from a financial standpoint. He contributed the ground in Speedway on which to build the Church. However, it was decided to build on another location, so the lots were sold and the money used toward the purchase of the present Church sit©. Many other donations were made by him. A high Mass was said Monday at six o’clock for the repose of his soul, and a High Mass will be said each month for the next ten or twelve months for him. Father Lindemann Sunday “bouqueted” the people of St. Christopher for their splendid cooperation and work during the Lawn Festival, and announced that their reward was approximately four thousand dollars profit. This money will be put into the building fund. It is the intention of Father Lindemann, at the direction of our Most Reverend Bishop, to begin building as soon as it is possible after the war ends. In this way, St Christopher will not only be helping herself, but will be able to take up slack labor and and many people toward • adjusting themselves. On Friday morning at six o’clock a High Mass will be said in Thanksgiving for the success of the Lawn Fete. The regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society will be held Wednesday evening, September 13th, at 8 o’clock in the Parish Halt There will be many committee reports. The hostesses for the evening are Chairman Mrs. Helen Bouchard, Co-Chairman, Nora Bray, assisted by Mesdames Olivia Bische, Christine Bostwick, Ann Bozick, Vivian Bray, Mary Helen Wagner, Lillian Such, Helen Ahn Sutherland, Cordelia Swails, Gladys Theiss, "Margaret Steigfitz, Rose Rardon and Miss Marie Steiglitz. It is hoped that a great number of the ladies will attend this meeting. ( If there is any lady, or ladies, who have recently moved into the Parish, they are especially invited to come. Sorry that an error was made last week in stating that Friday, September Bth, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mother was a Holy day of obligation. However, many, many years ago it was a Holy day of obligation. It is hoped that as many who can will attend the High Mass at 6 o’clock on Friday, which is being said in thanksgiving for the success of the Lawn Fete. , Fragments of the address given by Pope Pius XII by radio on the fifth anniversary of the beginning of World War H last Friday night have, of course, been widely publicized. One columnist has stated that this message is not just for Catholics, .but to non-Catholics as well. He further stated that it is the expression of a philosophy to which the non-Christian as well as the Christian peoples of the world can subscribe. It goes to the roots of the whole problem of peace within the borders of a nation and peace outside. "For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but ruin or lose himself?” —St. Luke, 9:25. nora bray
