ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann - Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Br3o o’clock Weekday Masses - 7:00 o’clock I On the last Sunday of the month the children of St. Christopher receive Holy Communion. They will receive Sunday at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. A High Mass was said at six o’clock last Monday morning for Joseph Heritier, the offering of the Parish. Joseph Heritier has been reported killed in action. He is the first and the youngest, having enlisted when he was barely seventeen, from St. Christopher Parish to give his life to his country. On Monday of last week at six o’clock a High Mass was said for Joseph Rosner, Sr., at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rosner, Jr. At six o’clock on Friday of this week, a High Mass was said for Joseph Rosner, Sr., at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nester. Some of the members of the Altar Society met for the first time Thursday of this week and began the quilting of a quilt, the top of which had been made and donated to them by Mrs. Ben Althoff. The ladies plan on meeting each and working on the quilt until it is finished. They hope to give the to some lucky person late in November. If you can quilt, your services are urgently needed. Remember to keep open the first week in October for the Mission which is to be held at St. Christophep<!seginning with the High Mass on Sunday, October Ist, amending October Bth. Everyone in the Parish who possibly should make this Mission, and learn again to appreciate all the more the teachings of Jesus Christ. The members of the Altar Society will not sponsor a Rummage Sale this fall, as formerly planned. Instead all the discarded clothing will be given to the nation-wide emergency clothing collection for the people of liberated countries. Father Lindemann made this announcement Sunday, and asked that everyone bring their clothing to the Rectory. Washable garments should be laundered. The ladies of the Parish will sort and box the clothing. This drive which is to be a contribution of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish Churches of t America to the'relief of the suffering peoples of Europe opens September 24th. Everyone should be as generous as they possibly can, always remembering how fortunate we have really been over here. On Thursday evening, September 28th, the first of a series of instructions in the Catholic religion will be held at 8 o’clock in the Catholic Information Bureau, Capitol Avenue and Georgia Street. These lectures will be given at the same time each Thursday night, continuing through December 14th. Anyone interested may attend. Rev. Albert A. Murray of the Paulist Fathers, Chicago, will conduct the Annual Novena in honor of St. Therese of Lisieux in the Church of the Little Flower. The Novena will begin with the Mass on September 25th, and continue through October 3d, closing Tuesday night, October 3d. If you can’t make the public novena, then try to make it privately. I At the meeting of the Altar Society last Wednesday ning tentative plans for the balance of this year were made. Madame President, Mrs. Herbert Grande, appointed Mesdames \ Frank Medenwald and William Meyer to act as Chairmen for a Luncheon Bridge which is to be held in the very near future.
