St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L A. Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses March 20th is the regular Communion Sunday for the young people of the Parish. Mrs. Ann Petraits and her Committee are making large plans for the Father and Son Communion Breakfast which will follow immediately the 8:30 o’clock Mass Sunday. orable Mayor Al Feeney will be the guest speaker. Mr. Rober O’Neal will be Master of Ceremonies. Sons are returning from school and from their jobs in other cities in order to go to Communion and breakfast with their dads. Non-Catholic fathers are especially invited to attend this breakfast with their sons. If you haven’t a son. borrow one . . .and the boy you borrow need not be a Catholic boy. If you feel that you can’t come because you have a guest in the house, come and bring him too. The ladies are making plans for a large crowd, and every man and boy of St. Christopher Parish should be there, along with others. Miss Joan Riedy did the honors last Sunday for the Merchandise Club; and, she favored Rosalie Quinn Glennon. Mrs. Glennon chose sheets and pillow cases. She is the sister of Mrs. Helen Freund. On Thursday, St. Patrick’s Feast Day was celebrated . . . the Patron Saint of the Irish, and we borrow a few lines from a poem by Eleanor Farjean in her book, ‘Ten Saints.” We are sure that she won’t mind. “But the wee triple Shamrock, The emerald-green vine, x. Said: “Let who chooses claim him, Twas left to me to name him, His heart sleeps in Erin Wherever I twine, And by One, Two, and Three This Holy One is mine.” On Saturday, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Little Sisters of the Poor in Indianapolis celebrate this day in a big way. St. Joseph is their patron Saint. Next Friday, March 25, is the Feast Day of the Annunication of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The ladies of the Parish are continuing to respond beautifully to the request made of them; but, more and more should respond. The dead line of the last of April was erroneously made last Sunday. It is the last of March. So please do help by hurrying a little, won’t you? Thanks. Lenten evening services at St. Christopher are every Wwfawby and Friday at 7:30 o’clock. Daily Mass at 7 o’clock.. Opportunities for Confession and Communion each morning before and after the Mass. ‘Tor he who does a wrong will get back the wrong he did . . .” Colossians 3:25. Nora Bray.

Speedway Church es the Nazarene 5020 CRAWFORDSVILLE ROAD REV. DONALD KONKLE. Pastor Sunday School 9:30 A.M. Morning Worship 10:30 K. M. Young People & Junior Service.6:4s P.M. • Evening Evangelistic Service7:3o P. M. Mid-Week Prayer Service, Wed. .... 7:30 P M. Easter Sunday is Missions Day in our church. On this day of days, commemorating the resurrection of Christ, we will have opportunity to bear witness to our love for and obedience to Him. April 17 will soon be upon us! In the light of world needs, it is undoubtedly the will of the Master that we fill our offering plates “up to the brim.” Nothing should be closer to the heart of a Christian than reaching the world with the tidings “He is risen.” If we fulfill our part, the Master will “fill full” our hearts. He has never failed where He has been truly tested. Therefore let us do our very best. Spring time is growing time. We want this to be true in our Sunday School. We want to see it grow in numbers. We want to see it grow spiritually speaking. That our community might become a better place lor growing boys and girls. Every citizen should take stock of himself and the part he is playing in making this a great nation. To willingly absent ourselves from the church is a vote to dose its doors. So, let us do our part gladly that the church might truly be victorious. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1.
