St. Christopher’s Catholic Chvrch Rev. L A. Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: / 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock At the regular meeting of the Altar Society last Wednesday evening, the following officers for 1948 were installed: President, Mrs. Verda Marie Denton; first vice president, Mrs. Viola Searles; second vice president, Mrs. Ann Petraits; secretary, Mrs. Jenny Lesman, and treasurer, Mrs. Catherine Dugan. It was very gratifying indeed to the new officers to see so many members at the meeting, and among the thirty-five ladies present were several new people. Plans for the Altar Society’s activities for the year were discussed. They hope to have two Merchandise Clubs operating during the year: perhaps a “Breakfast at Sardie’s”: two large card parties and a Style Show: one Bake Sale, probably in the spring: one sale of Hand-Made articles, perhaps around Thanksgiving time, which will be worked'up sis sorta a Fair: two Rummage Sales, one in the spring and one in the fall: and last but not least, the activities of the Altar Society at the Summer Festival. Since there are so many new families moving into the Parish, a plan was discussed for the contracting of all new members. Each member of the Society should consider herself on a Committee to notify one of the Officers of any new Catholic family moving in her square or near by: this would also hold true of any sickness or death in the immediate family of any Catholic families in the Parish. The next regular meeting of the Society will be held on the third Wednesday night of February after the Lenten services. The three retiring Trustees, Messrs. Herbert Grande, Joe King and Carl Wolfla, introduced Messrs. William Hendricks, Joe Randall and Robert Keating, at the Annual Trustees’ Dinner last -Sunday evening, to succeed them for two years. The three Trustees who still have a year to serve are Messrs. Leonard Endres, Carl Otte and George Grannan. It is the practice at St. Christopher to have only three of the six Trustees retire each year. . The C. Y. O. held their regular meeting on Monday evening of this week. Father Lindemann planned on visiting with his mother in the southern part of the state a few days this week—weather permitting. At the 8:30 o’clock Mass next Sunday, the men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. On Monday, February 2, candles to be used in the church during the "year will’beblessecli’aTso cahdlfes which are £o "be distributed to the homes will be blessed. This day is known as Candlemas Day. It is the Feast Day of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Feast of St. Blase, BM., is on Tuesday, February 3. On this day, a special blessing is given to throats. Father Lindemann will announce the times this blessing is to be given at the Masses next Sunday. Next Friday, February 6, is the First Friday of the month. Holy Communion will be given before, as well as during the Mass. More should show their devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jssus by‘receiving Holy Communion on the first Friday of every month. February 7, also, is the first Saturday of the month. And again too, more Should show their love to Holy, Mother, as Our Blessed Lady of Fatima, by receiving Holy Communion on at least five consecutive first Saturdays, and to pray for peace: and when the five dre finished, they should make it perpetual if possible by receiving Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month—offering up their prayers for peace. t “. . . . the servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all . . —2 Timothy 2:24.

TOWNTOPICS Our yearly Water Works report for 1947 shows a total revenue of $93,601.26.

If you have not signed a Water Works consumers contract, please do so, as we are now processing them and would like to complete pur files. y Mr. H. V.

In order for us to dispose of garbage, it must be free of any tin cans, glass or other matter. Please see that anything in the nature of foreign matter is placed in your trash containers and not in the garbage cans. Do not wrap garbage in paper. We are pleased to report that total fire loss for 1947 was only $1455.00, which certainly speaks well for the Fire Department. Did you know that the Fire Department is made up of two (2) regular firemen and 20 volunteers. We at the Town Hall are proud of .this group of boys and certainly appreciate their loyal support. Found among our clippings: Life is a grindstone. Whether a man is ground down or polished up, depends upon what he is made of.
