St. Christopher's Catholic Church Bev. L. A. Lindemann ...Taster Sunday Masses: 8:60 o’clock —B-JO o’clock Weekday Masses o'clock At the 8:30 o’clock Mass Sunday, the members of the Altar Society and all the ladies of the Parish win receive Holy Communion. And for the sake of all the new families who have moved into the Parish recently, Father Lindemann wishes it understood that he considers every lady who is a member of St. Christopher a member of the Altar Society, whether she is active or not. The Mass on Friday morning was at 6 o’clock —a High Mass—for Fred Medenwald. On Saturday morning the Mass' will be at 10:30 —a Nuptial High Mass, celebrating the marriage of Ann Carolyn Covell and Joseph M. Novajosky. The Rev. L. E. Lindemann will officiate at the ceremony. Miss Covell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert G. Covell of 1220 Rosner Drive, and Mr. Novajosky is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Novajosky of Olyphant, Pa. A reception in the church will follow immediately. The couple will live in Danville. At 11:45 Saturday morning in Holy Trinity Church, Mildred June Rosner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rosner, will be married to Robert D. Brock, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Brock of New Albany, Ind. The Rev. L. E. Lindemann will also officiate at this ceremony. A reception at the home of the bride’s parents will follow immediately. The couple will live in Detroit. Our best wishes to both young couples! On Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5 a reception will be held in St Christopher Social Room and an opportunity afforded for the dear Nuns to meet Speedway folks and for the Speedway folks to meet the good Sisters. This reception is not just for members of St. Christopher, but anyone in Speedway, or elsewhere, and whether Catholic or non-Catholic, is most welcome. At this time of year, most of us are turning our thoughts to the filling of our pantry shelves for winter, but this year we are offered a special privilege. We may help the good Nuns to fill their pantry shelves, and we may bring it to the reception with us if we wish. In the years past, we have always been generous with our worldly goods, but this year we are granted the extra privilege of seeing it received. The Merchandise Club’s display was very well received last Sunday, and Mrs. Lawrence Dugan, chairman, her committee, and helpers have been working very hard this week to get the club off to a good start next Sunday. Members of the Cook Book Committee are still delivering cook books, su-d they are happy to do it They have already sold more than half their supply. Instructions for the children began Tuesday morning, and it won’t be long now before all things will be worked out. Looking forward into October, the Altar Society have many activities planned—a Card Party and Style Show, a Book Review, and a Bake Sale and Hand-made Article Sale. Especially the ladies of St. Christopher wish to extend all good wishes to Mrs. Orr in her travels, and while they regret to see her leave this community, they feel certain that St. Christopher will always give her his protection because she was always so generous and good to his people. On Thursday, we say “Happy Birthday” to Holy Mother, and on next Monday we celebrate the Holy Name of Mary. “There is no power greater than true affection.”—Seneca. Nora Bray.

Speedway Christian To Dedicate It’s New Building Dedication services for the new Sanctuary and Educational Annex of the Speedway Christian Church, will be held next Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Dr. John H. Booth will deliver the dedicatory address on the subject, “Now Cany It Through.” The Cloister Choir will sing the anthem, “Hosanna” by Hummel. This win mark the opening of a new era in the history of Speedway’s oldest church. The church was organized in the spring of 1918, in a little red school house that was located on 10th St with 38 charter members. Speedway was then a young community with woods end farm land where most of its houses now. stand. The little congregation grew and prospered and after eight years in the school, house, a large tabernacle tent meeting was held in 1926 on Main St., and the present site at 14th and Winton was procured. Following the tent meeting in 1926 the present frame building was erected and became famous as “The Church Built in a Day.” One hundred men organized into ten teams, began work at daybreak one Saturday morning, and by night fall the building was erected and the first coat of stain put on the woodwork and seats. Dedication services were held in the new building the next day. During the next 23 years the church grew along ] with Speedway, and became noted as a community church and I especially for its cooperation with the town school authorities. Since' both the school and church had' outgrown their quarters and both needed new buildings, the school used the church basement for six classes a day during the week, and the church used the school rooms on Sunday for some of its church school classes. This fall for the first time, both school and church are using their own new facilities. As the church dedicates its new Sanctuary and Annex next Sunday, it hopes to continue to keep pace with the growth of the community, and to minister to the needs and spiritual welfare of its citizens.
