St. Christopher’s Catholic Church \Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock N Weekday Masses. 7:00 o’clock ( On the fifth Sunday of the month, no special group receives Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. However, since the 'Masses will be offered for the safety of those participating in the 600 Mile Race, it would seem that everyone who possibly can should receive Holy Communion for the same intention on Sunday, as well as on Monday, the day of the race. < The Mass on Monday, May 31st, will be a Low Mass at 7 o'clock unless otherwise announced on Sunday. Mrs. Eva C arisen is back home again from St. Vincent’s, and she would be happy to see her friends. She came home Tuesday. David Crawford, son of Mrs. John Crawford, a member of the Merchandise Club, tried very hard to favor his mother last Sunday at the meeting of the club, but try hard as he could, Marie Sleser of 2029 Mi West Washington Street was the favored one. She chose looped rugs. The Mass on Monday morning of this week was at 6 o’clock —a High Mass for Joseph Busse—the father of Mrs. James Younghaus on Cunningham Drive—anniversary of his birthday. _ And speaking of birthdays—our best wishes to Father Lindemann’s mother. She was 89 years young on Tuesday, May 25th. As was announced at the Masses Sunday, parents of the children, who were not baptized in St. Christopher Parish, are urged to get their children’s baptismal records to Father Lindemann as soon as possible. Do you have your ticket yet for the Breakfast-in-Holly-wood Tea? Remember, it’s next Thursday, June 3d, in Block’s Auditorium, at 2:00 or a little later—#he tickets tell the hour. And are you going out to the Coliseum this Saturday for the Give and Take Broadcast, sponsored by the new Catholic Church, the Immaculate Heart of Mary? June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. First Friday—June 4th. First Saturday—June sth. The first week-end in June will surely be a full one at St. Christopher with wedding bells *>n Saturday and First Communion on Sunday. Commencement exercises for St. Agnes Academy will be held in the Cathedral Sunday *evening, May 30th. The Most Reverend Archbishop will preside and confer the diplomas. “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.”— St Matt. 5:7. Nora Bray.
