St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann .Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock i At the eight-thirty o’clock Mass next Sunday, the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus; the men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. A high Mass was said at six o’clock on Tuesday morning of this week for Geneieve Rosner at the request of Joseph Rosner. The Masses on New\Year’s Day were at six, eight-thirty and ten o’clock. • The winner for the last week of the Merchandise Club was Mrs. Delores Rolles. She chose sheets and pillow cases. ‘ It is hoped that another Club will soon be formed, but no definite plans have yet befen released by Mrs. Verda Marie Denton, the newly elected President. The visiting priest at the eight-thirty o’clock Mass last Sunday suggested two New Year’s resolutions—the receiving of Holy Communion’ every Sunday, and the daily saying of the Rosary, petitioning Holy Mother to help us to keep the first resolution. And don’t be discouraged if one Sunday is missed, y>r one day is missed and quit, but take new courage and start all over again. It is not the committing of one sin that damns our souls so much as the living in sin. Confess that one sin, be sorry for it, do pemiance and then don’t do it again. January 6, next Tuesday, is the Feast of the Epiphany of our Lord. This is known as Little Christmas, the time when the three Wise Men visited Jesus and offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Usually Christmas trees are kept up through this day, and always the cribs. In some foreign countries, the Christmas trees are burned on this day. The Feast of the Epiphany is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but those who can are happy to hear Mass on this day. ■ ■, In our Novena prayers to the Infant Jesus of Prague we read, “Permit us, O Little Lord, to open the treasury of our hearts before Thee, that we may offer Thee the gold of our love, the frankincense of our prayer, and the myrrh of our willing sacrifices in Thy service.” •

Just three years ago, little Timothy Hulse, was Speedway’s New Year’s baby. Then we took him away out to Oregon before he had a chance to get acquainted with Speedway and all his friends here. Tim joins the other members of the Harold J. Hulse family in wishing the Happiest New Year ever, to all our friends back home. We hear you had snow for Christmas, too. It’s winter in Oregon too, but the nearest evidence compared to winters there, was a heavy frost Christmas morning, which soon disappeared and the day was very bright and the temp, in the high 50’s. There were plenty of roses here and there to decorate our Christmas table, and there are still lots of apples on some trees, and the grass here needs cutting very badly.—Agnes and. Harold Hulse and family. 7 —— Mrs. Ida Marvel, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Moffett and children, Rusty and Kathy were guests at Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Marvel and daughter, Joan. 4 The Marvel family enjoyed a buffet supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Moffet on Christmas evening.

Second Unified Service ________ 11:M AJC "J As we face the New Year, it is not only a reminder of the passing of another milestone of our lives, but it also presents a challenge to the new opportunities that await us. Accordingly, January is being designated as “Service Enlistment Month,** stressing the truth that you get out of your church in proportion to what you put into it. For several years our church has been building up a program of activity and service of which we can be justly proud, but it has only been made possible through the rendering of unselfish service on the part of a group of the membership. With the rapid growth of our church and its enlarging activity, we need additional participants in our program. Teachers and helpers are badly needed in the growing Primary and Junior Departments, and consecrated members are needed to serve on committees, help sponsor Youth activities, sing in our choirs, and play in our orchestra. Service Cards will be inserted in the Bulletins during each Sunday of “Service Enlistment Month,” and we are counting on our membership to rise to the occasion and help support our vital program for Christ in this community. , ‘ ’ For the First Service, Sunday, the Chancel Choir will sing “A Prayer for the S(eW Year” by Schultz. The Cloister Choir will sing for the Second Service and Mrs. Martha.
