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 members of the Altar Society and all the ladies will receive Holy Communion. And it is hoped now that on next Sunday morning the Masses will be said for the first time in the new Chapel. Mrs. Alice Davidson of Speedway was the lucky member of the Merchandise Club last week. She chose a green Bissell sweeper. Judy Kay Eddelman, the older of those two fine young daughters of Midge and Kay Eddelman, favored Alice. Now Alice can get all ready for Santa Claus. Mrs Emma Frances O’Neal, chairman, and her committee are making big plans for the St. Christopher Children’s Chrismas Party. The date is Sunday afternoon, Dec. 18. We’ll try to tell you lots more about the party next week. Have you all read your copy of the Indiana Catholic for this week Did you noice the picture of Harry and Evelyn Davis’ children surrounded by those darling beagle hound puppies? But of course you did. How could you miss that picture. They’re right on the front page. And for every pup Harry sells, he promises St. Christopher the profit. Here is your chance to get your Christmas pup . . . and to help St. Christopher too. These beagle pups are not Catholic pups, you know, so we say to anyone who should read this column and does not receive a copy of the Indiana Catholic why just run over to the Davis home at 1819 Christopher Lane or call BE-1242. You’ll just fall in love with them we know. Beagle dogs make the very best hunting dogs too, as well as lovely pets. Now if this was just tomorrow, we could tell you all about the Altar Society Christmas party . . . but it isn’t . . . but we know that we are going to have a wonderful time. Next week is Ember Week . . . Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are days of fasting and abstinence for those who are obliged to fast and abstain. On Tuesday of next week, we celebrate the feast of St. Lucy, VM. “Poor, indeed, is the man who lives only in his own time. Rich is the man who participates in the riches of the past and the promises of the future.” —Joshua Loth Liebman. Following this line of thought, what is more lovely than a book—a good book—which has come down through the ages—and a book—a good book—which tells of the days ahead from a good’s man’s viewpoint. Nora Bray.
