The “old” officers entertained the “new” officers at the home of Mrs. Gladys Theiss on West 15th Street last Wednesday evening, and while altogether they planned the social activities for the first meeting of the year of the society. The hostesses for Wednesday evening are Mesdames Agnes Randall, Gladys Theiss, Mildred Keller, Catherine Ellerman, Verdi Marie Denton, Viola Searles, Ann Petraits, Jennry Lesman and Catherine Dugan. They’ll be looking for you. Even if you haven’t registered as a new member of the Parish with Father, do come down, ladies, to the meeting and become an active member of your Parish society. NonCatholic wives are always most welcome to these meetings. The meeting will begin at 8 o’clock with the reading of the yearly reports and the closing of all old business, and the installation of the new officers, followed by a social hour. High Masses this week were at 6 o’clock on Wednesday and-Friday mornings. On Wednesday morning for Louise Bross offered by Mrs. John Moran and on Friday morning for Rosner offered by Frank Rosner. At the 8 o’clock Mass on next Sunday morning, the Young People of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. On next Sunday evening at 6 o’clock, members of the choir, their wives and girl friends will have a dinner party in the Parish Dining Room. The occasion—the celebration of the silver wedding anniversary of one of its members. Our congratulations and best wishes to you, Raymond and Anna Vurpillat, and we only hope that we’re around to say it again at your golden anniversary. Father Lindemann will entertain the Trustees and their wives at a dinner in the Parish Dining Room on the last Sunday in January—January 25th. This is an annual affair. Following the dinner, Father will present his Annual Report of the growth of the Parish, both spiritually and financially. This report will be read and distributed at all the Masses on the first Sunday in February—February Ist. Somebody asked us the other day, <r When does Lent start?” Lent begins February 11th—Ash Wednesday—early this year —which means that Easter Sunday will be March 28th. ' “O God, grant us Thy "peace ’hr dur tiine.” Members of the Bengalese Society say one Hail Mary daily and add the ejaculation to Holy Mother, “Queen of Apostles, pray for the conversion of the Bengalese.” Why don’t we all resolve now, this very day, to say one Hail Mary daily and add the ejaculation to Holy Mother, “Queen of the Apostles, pray for the conversion of the Russians,” along with our daily recitation of the Rosary to our Blessed Lady of Fatima, who has made known that to obtain peace and to avoid war with Russia we must all pray the Rosary daily.
