St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann - —-Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses. 7:00 o’clock f The young people of the Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass next Sunday. Last week-end proved to be a very profitable week-end for the members of the Altar Society. The Rummage Sale made the amount of money they had hoped to make, and 'Mrs. Eddleman, chairman, wishes to thank 'everyone who helped in any way toward the success of this sale. Joe Rosner’s new truck was surely loaded when it left the church Saturday mornirig for Missouri and 13th Streets where the sale was held. And Mrs. Kaufman, chairman of the hand-made articles and bake sale, is very happy over the success of this project. She says that she could have sold more baked goods and that she has some articles left, such as tea towels, one large and several small aprons, pot-holders, coin purses (they are lovely leather things), baby things and a pair of red knitted mittens and red stocking cap. She, too, wishes to thank everyone who helped in any way toward the success of this sale. ' And St. Christopher, as well as Mrs. Kaufman and the members of her committee, is very grateful to the Speedway Savings and Loan Corporation for the use of space in their building on Main Street in which to hold the sale, and for the gracious manner and full-hearted cooperation of their personnel. Their manager from New York, who was in town, took some of the ladies’ handiwork back to New York with him. .* If there is anyone who might like some of the articles remaining unsold, he should contact Mrs. Wm. Kaufman on West 13th Street, or Mrs. Verdi Marie Denton, president of the Altar Society, also on West 13th Street. We hope that you all saw the picture in Saturday night’s Indianapolis News of the beautiful mural, “Our Lady of Fatima,” which has been included in a program of interior decorations at Holy Rosary Church. * Mr. E. Ray Ralston, of Cincinnati, painted the mural. w Men of St. Christopher are now calling on the members of the Parish for cash donations and pledges for the new church and school which every pretty day brings nearer to its erection. Everyone is asked to donate whatever he can and as much as he can. He should always remember that he is not giving to the man who happens to be good enough to give of his time to call onhim or to Father Lindemann, Jaut that he Is"giving to G6d Or for the salvation' ul trfPHW'ffiMhe souls of others. The regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society will be held next Wednesday evening at. 8 o’clock in the Parish Hall. The hostesses for the meeting will be chairman, Mrs. Doris Atkinson; co-chairman, Mrs. Susan Whitmore, assisted by Mesdames Catherine Enlow, Catherine Keating, Nola Medenwald, Pauline Nester, Helen Riedy, Agnes Zeunik, Cordelia Swails, Farrie Lee Wallace, Helen’Keating, Marion Lucas, Gwendolyn McDougall, Opal Noll, Alice Basch, Mary Brading, Helen Ellerman, Anna Wingender and Nettie Altheide. Everyone should try their very best to attend this meeting. Remember . . . THURSDAY,’NOVEMBER 11th . . . the CARD PARTY AND STYLE SHOW at the Speedway School ... it should give one a thrill just to go into the new school building. Another new Parish in Indianapolis held its cornerstonelaying service last Sunday . . . the Church of the Holy Spirit, 7238 East Tenth Street. The Rev. Francis Early is pastor. The Convent of the Good Shepherd at 111 West Raymond Street would be grateful for any help which could be given them to carty on their good work, as we understand they are “having a hard time making both ends meet.” The good Sisters would be happy to have visitors and explain their work. There are Protestant girls, as well as Catholic girls, sheltered at the home of the Good Shepherd. This is indeed a worthy charity. The Sisters would be deeply thankful, they tell us, for basketballs, ping-pong sets, little radios, card tables, materials for crochet and embroidery work, as well as money. The diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials.—Chinese Proverb. • Nora Bray.
