St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A Lindemann .Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses. - 6:30 o’clock At the 8:30 o’clock Mass Sunday the men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. Next Thursday, Dec. 8, is a Day of Obligation. On this day we celebrate the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After a short business meeting of the Altar Society next Wednesday evening, Dec. 7, the sociMy will enjoy their annual Christmas party—and this time in the new hall. If there is any .one special time when the ladies of St. Christopher get together for for fun, their Christmas party is it. All new members Hyp especially urged to come—the old members need no urging. We have been advised that Madame President !s going to try to start the business meeting promptly at 8 o’clock, thus, leaving more time for the party—so let’s all cooperate with her as always. Every member is reminded to bring a dollar gift all done up “Christmasy” for Santa Claus at the time of the exchange of gifts. A silver offering will be given to the Little Sisters of the Poor, so that they may. be able to pass on to others the Christmas spirit. It is hardly necessary for us to add . . . that it is always more blessed to give than it is to receive. The committee in charge of the party are Mrs. Emma Frances O’Neal, chairman, Mrs. Carolyn O’Neal, co-chairman, assisted by Mesdames Bess Bruce, Ann Martich, Beatrice Breen, Kay Keating, Gertrude Joyce, Eleanor Chapman, James Leach, Helen Sutherland, Margaret Stieglitz, Margaret Potter, Ann rieMarie, Rosner, Mary Catherine Parker, Cordelia Swails, Yvonne Smith, Nettie Altheide and Miss Marie Stieglitz. What a committee — now we know we’re going to have a swell party. We can hardly wait for Wednesday. For our Sunday Turkey Dinner which is now past, we sent out invitations to all the parishes in Indianapolis and nearby towns. St. Francis de Sales was represented among our guests, and one gentleman expressed himself to our cashiers that he didn’t think anyone from St. Christopher ever came to their affairs. St. Francis de Sales is having their festival this weekend—Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. A few of us are hoping to go—so if you’re wishing for some place to go Saturday night, why don’t you go* out to St. Francis de Sales and enjoy yourselves. The Children’s Christmas Party at St. Christopher is being planned for Sunday, Dec. 18. There will be an .exchange of gifts as usual, but more than that we can’t tell you now. The price of the gift will probably be decided at the society meeting next week. However, no one should pay more for the gift their child is to exchange than the decided price, because then some child or children might be disappointed in .what Santa Claus gives he or them. We believe though that children are pevpr too young to be taught to be grateful always for whatever they receive, and not always be looking for more and bigger gifts. The price of the gift should always be kept low enough so the expense would not make a hardship on families with more than one child, and that they would have enough left to send to Santa Claus for some special gifts which their child or children had asked for from dear old St. Nick. We don’t believe that St. Christopher’s Children’s Christmas Party was ever intended for a large exchange of gifts; but rather, it was intended for fun for the children (with a lot of work for the grown-ups, which is as it should be) and to teach the children the spirit of Christmas in giving to others. If there is anyone who knows of the welfare of any of our Catholic patients at Julietta, please come to the society meeting and tell us, as we may try to carry some Christmas giving this year to some of the unfortunate there. We are just going to tell you about the winner in the Merchandise Club last Sunday, and let you think what you wish. Mrs. Helen Freund won—Johnnie, her son, drew her name. Well, maybe Johnnie was getting tired eating off the dishes that Helen was using—anyway she took dishes. If you are looking for a dollar gift to give for Christmas, and want to be sure and get your dollar’s worth, call Mrs. Wm. Meyer, Mrs. Joe Rosner, Mrs. Walter Klintworth, Mrs. George Arnold or Nora Bray and they will deliver to you Tops in Food, St. Christopher’s Cook Book. We have only about 90 books left. “Nothing is difficult: it is only we who are indolent.” —B. R. Haydon. Nora Bray.
