ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o'clock Weekday Masses .7:00 o’clock The Missionary has come and gone, and not only those Of us who made the Mission are the better for his coming but all of St Christopher Parish. He left with each one a little leaflet which among other instructions gave us Means of Perseverance as follows: 1. Avoid the occasion of sin. 2. Practice Holy Prayer. 3. Receive the Sacraments freely. 4. Be fearless in the performance of all your Christian duties: fear God alone. 5. Practice a constant devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and say the Rosary. What Every Christian Must Know—1. There is but one God. 2. God rewards the just in Heaven and punishes the wicked in hell, for all eternity. 3. There are three divine persons in God: The—Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. 4. The Second Person, the Son of God, Jesus, became Man, and died on the cross to redeem us from sin and hell. Christian, only thing is necessary—Save your soul. Father Dalton asked us to pray for him. St. Alphonsus, pray for us! The Mission closed with solemn services at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Some of the members of the Altar Society decided to make their meeting Wednesday evening a masked party anyway, and after the time the meeting was supposed to begin in walked a bowery couple, Sis Hopkins, Lady Madbeth in color, and I many other characters. Fun was had by all. A Nominating Committee was appointed by Madame President to select a ticket of officers for the Society to elect at the November meeting to serve in 1945. Father Lindemann is very grateful for all the donations which were made of clothing, and to the faithful ladies who so gladly gave of their time to come down, sort, box and tag all the articles for overseas shipment Saturday evening is the Spaghetti Supper and Card Party —supper to begin at 6:30 o’clock. There are still tickets to be had. Better come on down, and not be sorry afterward that you didn’t Get up a table and come, or just come down. This is not just a Parish affair, but for all of Speedway and the friends of St Christopher. Call either Mesdames William Meyer or Frank Medenwald for tickets, or if you want to take The Catholic Church lost one of its most outstanding American laymen in the death of Alfred E. Smith, October 4th. He stood out for having the courage of his convictions, and because of that was an inspiration to the clergy and sisterhood, as well as the lay people. No matter where Mr. Smith’s travels took him, he always saw to it before hand that he didn’t miss Holy Mass on Sundays. Pray for the repose of his soul. Lt. R. Bourbonniere of Montreal, Canada has written to his parents that he visited at Lisieux, France, and that he saw the two sisters, Pauline and Aline, of St. Therese the Little Flower of Jesus. They are two holy nuns bent with age. He stated further that practically the whole town was razed by their aircraft, and nothing remained standing except the Basilica, the Carmel and two other religious buildings. The Feast of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin was observed by the Church Wednesday, October 11th. It commemoraAes Mary's divine motherhood, her dignity as the Mother of God and also her spiritual motherhood of mankind. It was first observed in Portugal, Brazil and Algeria in 1751. The devotion spread through the succeeding years and is now practically universal. Mother of God, pray for us! nora bray.
