Every man of St. Christopher is urged to become a charter member of this Society. Every non-Catholic husband is cordially invited to attend the Mass and the breakfast, and to stay for the ceremonies. Mr. P G Martich, President of the Society, promises that everybody will be out of the hall by 10:15 Sunday morning. The regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society will be at 8:00 o’clock Wednesday evening, April 12th, in the Ladies Social Room.

The dance is to be on Friday night, April 21st, from 9to 12.

We know of the following ladies who have offered help Louise, Mesdames Nola Medenwald, Helen Keating, Helen Hargitt, Ruth Kreffel, Mary Jacobi, and Ruth Kasnak ... and there may be more. And we’re sure that some of the Holy Name members are planning on helping. We couldn’t find out much about the music, only that there is to be mtisic, but the caller for the Square is Guy DeMoss . . . remember, he is the one everybody liked on that last Monday night before Lent. We noticed Sunday that the names of books, and the prices, were posted on the Bulletin Board in the main hall of the Church .. . names of books, that is for the school library. Anyone interested in helping with the school library and who does not have any books to give, or who does have books and wants to help some more, should contact the good Sisters, members of the Holy Name Society, or Father Lindemann. Pray daily the Holy Rosary for the peace of the world, and for the conversion of Russia. A source of much happiness and comfort is in faithfully keeping ourselves busily employed doing good for others. A Happy, Peaceful Easter! Nora Bray.
