ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock The men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass on February 2d—the first Sunday of the month. 8 ■ . On Sunday, February second It is celebrated the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and on February third is celebrated the Feast of St. Blase. It is on this day that special blessings are given to our throats. The time these blessings will be given will be announced at the Masses Sunday. The three new Trustees are Messrs. Carl Otte, George Grannan and Leonard Endres succeeding Messrs. Henry Keener, D. W. Thompson and William Zeunik, respectively. One of the projects which was discussed and pushed at the Trustees’ Dinner Meeting Sunday evening was the going ahead with the building of a new Church and School. It was suggested and decided that Father Lindemann appoint a Building Committee in the very near future. It is hoped, yes and prayed for earnestly, that we may have a new Church very soon. Those of us who have been here since 1937 have learned to love our small Chapel very much and we hate to think of hearing Mass elsewhere, but we only too well realize that St. Christopher Parish has outgrown its original “dress”, so to speak, and we need a 'larger Church. And as Father said Sunday, the Masses are so crowded that he can hardly blame people who go elsewhere to Church. However, it should always be remembered that “for the sake of order, better care of souls, and financial soundness, Holy Mother Church has found it advisable to establish parishes with boundaries. All persons living within the boundaries of any parish are members of the parish. National parishes have boundaries only with relation to other parishes of the same nationality. The boundaries of St. Christopher Parish may be described as follows: East — Olin Avenue and the Big Four RB.; South—Vermont Street (north side). North and West—Hie Marion County Line. All persons living within these boundaries—with the exception of persons attached to National Parishes—have the duty of suppoir +*"3 St. Christopher Church. This is a matter of justice pnH binding in conscience. Donations fnade to any other Church is charily, apd does not release a person from the obligation of giving financial aid to his Parish Church”. There is UU* ABtAgp&hpi Bah at the Indiana Hoof on Tuesday evening, February 4th, from 9:30 fc 12:30. Music will be furnished by Max Wilson and his orchestra. The Ball is being sponsored by the Young Peoples’ Club of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Sheets and family. Roland Charles, a lovely eight pound blue-eyed boy, was bom on last Thursday, the twenty-third, at St- Vincent’s. Next Friday is the first Friday of the month of February. Holy Mass will be celebrated at 7 A.M. Holy Qommunicn will be given from six until eight Friday morning, and Confessions will be heard on Thursday afternoon from 4 until 6, Thursday evening from 7:30 until 9, and again on Friday rooming. Our good God will never forget those who remember the Sacred Heart of Jesus on first Fridays. Financial Statements of St. Christopher were given out last Sunday. It was Very satisfying to read the receipts of last year and note that the total receipts amounted to twentythousand dollars. Father Lindemann expressed his gratefulness to all for their loyal cooperation, because as he stated a priest can do very little unless he has the full cooperation of his Parish. This year on June Bth, Father Lindemann will celebrate his Silver Jubilee —25 years in the priesthood. He was ordained at St. Meinrad on June 6th and said his first Mass on June Bth. What he especially wishes for as a celebration is that'the total receipts for this year of 1947 amount to twentyfive thousand dollars —a thousand dollars* for each year of his priesthood. f “Time ripens all things; no man is bom wise”.—Cervantes. Nora Bray.
