St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann— —-Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses —7:00 o’clock Members of the Altar Society and all the ladies of JJie Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass next Sunday. « This week every lady of St Christopher received, or should have received if she is registered or her husband is registered as members of St. Christopher, a letter from the officers of the Altar Society cordially inviting her to join in the 1949 program of the society’s activities. They asked that each lady set aside the THIRD Wednesday of each month to come to the church: to make new friends and to renew old friendships at the regular monthly Altar Society meetings. With this letter was enclosed the program for the year and a list of all committees. If any lady’s name was omitted through an oversight, or because she wasn’t registered in the Parish, Mrs. Emma Jean Rosner, president, wishes that that lady or those ladies would contact her. If anyone knows of sickness in the society or in the Parish, they are asked to call the secretary, publicity or any of the officers and report same. Next Wednesday night, February 16th, the Altar Society will hold their regular monthly meeting at 8 o’clock in the Parish Halt After all the monthly business has been completed, the following committee will be hostesses for the social meeting: Mrs. Kay Eddleman, chairman, Mrs. Faye Lucas, co-chair-man, assisted by Mesdames Marguerite Winchell, Dorothy Rupp, Lillian Reihman, Rosalie Bifano, Bonnie Memmer, Agnes Shook, Dorothy Motsinger, Francis Mcßride, Catherine Kinsey, Mary Rosner, Frances Kellerman, Margaret Tuttle, Maude Kropp, Catherine Greenwood, Gervase Clements, Florence Williams, Arthur Yelman and Farrie Lee Wallace. Every lady of the Parish should make a special effort to attend this meeting. There was a large committee meeting Monday night of this week at the home of Mrs. Florence Goldey, chairman, and many things were decided for a bigger and better CARD PARTY, SUNDAY, FEB. 27th, both afternoon and evening. A beautiful hand-embroidered sheet and pair of pillow-cases were displayed to the committee. All the members of St. Christopher and their friends are to be given an opportunity to be the lucky person to own them at the close of the evening party. Sandwiches, pife and coffee will be served at the end of the afternoon party to anyone who wishes them. Some people come to the afternoon parties, you know, and just stay on for the evening parties. Remember the date SUNDAY, FEB. 27th. Everybody is invited and welcome . . ..tickets may be procured at the door at the regular price of 50 cents. The fourth lecture of the Te Deum Forum series will be heard Friday evening, Our Lady of Lourdes day, at the Murat Theater. It will be a panel discussion conducted by Frank Sheed, publisher and author, and Maisie Ward, author and lecturer (in private life, Mrs. Frank Sheed). This promises to be a very interesting, as well as an enlightening lecture, and no one should miss it. Anyone desiring to join up with the Merchandise Chib should make their wishes known by next Sunday, February 13th. Anyone can join this club. It is definitely not a Parish affair. You can’t lose,' and you may win. Sheets and pillowcases, four different makes of blankets, bed-spreads, drapes to match one of the spreads, luncheon cloth and six napkins, bath towels and wash rags, a Bissell sweeper and dishes are being offered this time. If you don’t belong to the Parish, but would like to know more about how this club operates, and you don’t know any member to ask, feel free to call Mrs. Helen Morris, chairman, BEhnont 1905-J, Mrs. Louis Grothe, BEhnont 0724-J, Mrs. Helen Houck, BEhnont 1294-W, co-chairmen, Mrs. Emma Jean Rosner, president, BEhnont 3072, Mrs. Nora Bray, publicity, BElmont 3449 (evenings), or even Father Lindemann himself, BEhnont 3369. Father Lindemann would like for more men and women to offer to help on the project of covering the Parish for membership in the propagation of the faith. “Love does no evil to a neighbor.”—Romans 13:10. • Nora Bray.

Proclaimed by these holy men. Heard by men and women. Understood and believed by men and women. And obeyed by men and women. | IN THU MESSAGE “THE PROMISES OT GOD,” he spoke how God was true, even though man was otherwise.
