St. Christopher’s Catholic Church 5335 West 16ih Street Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock It was all inspiring to those who attended the Mass last Saturday morning to hear the children pour out their love to Holy Mother in their singing of the Mass, which they did so beautifully. The choir was large and we know that there was a special effort made on the part of many, because it was Saturday, really a day of play for the children. The children are singing four other High Masses this week. On Monday morning for Regina Zeph, requested by friends and neighbors, on Wednesday morning for Mary P. Grundy, the mother of Sue Whitmore, requested by Margaret Monroe, on Thursday morning for a special intention, and on Friday mornifig for Thomas Brady, requested by Mrs. Brady. All of these High Masses are at eight o’clock. The CYO held their regular weekly meeting on Tuesday evening. Holy Name Society members will receive Holy Communion in a body at the eight o’clock Mass next Sunday. After the Mass, a light breakfast will be served downstairs which will be followed by the regular monthly business meeting. Envelopes were passed out last Sunday and the Sunday before irito which may be placed any amount which one cares to give toward the support of the new St. Christopher school bus. This envelope is to be used only by families who feel that they can and want to donate toward the operation of the school bus. At present thirty-one families are using this service. It is hoped that other families will find this service equally beneficial. The present fee is SI.OO per week per family. This pays the weekly salary of the driver, and for the gas and oil. Insurance and repair bills of necessity will come from other sources. This special Bus Collection is one source. This idea of a special collection was offered by an older man of the parish who has reared his children and ndw has grand children. The collection envelopes will be taken up after the Communion of the Masses next Sunday* October 10th, or may be handed to Father Lindemann at any time. We are very sorry to learn that Barney Rosner had a very critical operation last week. He is at the Methodist Hospital and still is very sick. Mrs. Anne Petraits was the Merchandise Club winner last week. Six-year old Howdy Keller, a pupil in the Ist grade at St. Christopher school drew out Anne’s name. Howdy is the ®on of Norm and Mildred Keller. Reservations for the Men’s Retreat at the Alvema Retreat House on October 22nd may be made by calling either James Breen at Belmont 1348 or William Meyer at Belmont 0283. Men who have made these Retreats can tell you how spiritually beneficial they are, and how peace of mind affects the body. The men who have never made a retreat have something to look forward to. Either one of these men will be happy to talk things over with anyone who will but call. ♦ Today is the Feast of the Holy Rosary. October, as we have already told you, is the month of the Holy Rosary. We are urged to honor Mary with special fervor as our Rosary Queen by the daily recitation of that prayer so dear to her and so profitable to ourselves. The Holy Rosary, revealed by the Blessed Virgin herself to St. Dominic, was so repeatedly recommended to the faithful by Pope Leo XIII that he is called, “Pope of the Rosary.” But why does Mary ask for the Rosary? Because it is a perfect form of prayer. It is a profession of Faith. It is a tribute to the Blessed Trinity, a prayer of hope and confidence. Man of his own strength can do nothing; but his hope in God will not be confounded. Never did people need prayer more than at the present time, yet in this hour of need so many have lost the knowledge of how to pray. Pray daily your Rosaries for peace in the world. Nora Bray

TOWN NEWS By Tri Kappa Reporter Our Speedway residents now total over 6200 people and the population is continuing to climb. September was one of our biggest months as far as the issuance of new building permits was concerned. Mr. Baxter reports that his office issued permits for new construction amounting to $1,171,000.00 of which over one million was for 89 new residential properties. As a means to improve and speed inspections on new heating installations, the Town is preparing postcards to be given to each heating contractor at the time of obtaining his heating permit. When the heating equipment has been fully installed and is ready for inspection, the card is to be mailed directly to the heating inspector, Mr. Robert Foster. Mr. Robbins, our town engineer, recommends that all residents planning to connect to sanitary sewers, make very sure that your plumber connects to the main line sewer, and in so doing, that he checks the stub or partial connection coming from the main line to make certain that it is clean and free of roots. Otherwise this point could be a source of trouble for you later on. A new walkway is being built on the West side of Lyndhurst Drive from Twentieth (20th) St. and across the railroad to Speedway Drive. This should be a great safety measure for the school children crossing this area on their way to School No. 2. October is the month for Halloween. Let’s all help to make it a happy time without causing damage to the property of others.
