ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann .Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock Saturday is the feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary—also known as Candlemas Day. On this day candles are (blessed for the Church and for the home. It has always been considered a privilege and a joy to give donations for candles for the Church on this day. There should be blessed candles in every Catholic home at all times. And each year at this time, fresh, new ones should be procured to replace those of former years. The candles already in the home can be burned in thanksgiving to Almighty God for some special favor or in times of sickness, distress or storms. February 2d is also the first Saturday in the month of February. This is to remind those who are making the first five Saturdays, beginning in October, honoring the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Two weeks from Saturday—February 16th—is the big card party downtown in Block’s Auditorium sponsored by the Altar Society. Next Wednesday evening, February 6th, is the regular meeting of the Men’s Club in the Parish Hall. Sunday, the 4th Sunday after the Epiphany, is the feast of St. Blase. Throats will be blessed after all the Masses. The men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass on Sunday morning. There were no instructions in Christian Doctrine this week on account of the illness of Father Lindemann. He is better, but not able to be on “full time duty”. Sacrifice is the heart’s language of love—by sacrifice we prove our love for God. The rewards, even in this line, and above all the joys of eternity, will amply repay us for the selfdenial it requires. ■ * Pope Pius XH in his January encyclical made a strong appeal for moral and material assistance for needy and abandoned children. In Prague, a student strike against the anti-religious measures of the school authorities forced restoration of crucifixes .jCIIfiSTPPTPiS i - - » When we read the An Invitation to Knowledge column, sponsored by the Catholic Information Bureau, in Tuesday night’s News, entitled A Reminder, we could not help remembering an incident in our office this week. A very happy father was displaying a cord on which hung a wedding ring which his son, just returned from the Navy, had worn for four years. The boy's mother had given him her wedding ring to bring him back safely to her. This ring served as a reminder to him of all the good things his mother had taught him and to pray to God. Thus is a wearer of a blessed medal inspired to think of God and trust more confidently in His protection. We all know religious medals have no absolute power in themselves, but they receive their real value from the special blessing imparted to them by the Church. The blessed medal expresses in visible fashion bur promise of loyalty to God and our love and faith in His assurances of help to us. Meditation for the month of February—The Hidden Life of Christ. , ( “. . . Today if you shall hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 4:7. Nora Bray.
