Madame president, Audrey Zishka, promises two new clubs in this year. You know these clubs are nice things. You can buy something you want for fifty cents a week, and never miss it. Then, too, there is always the chance of paying out quickly. And then, these clubs afford a nice wavTof making money for the church. At the Altar Society meeting last Wednesday night, the retiring officers thanked all the ladies for their fine cooperation and help during 1954. Father Lindemann also thanked the ladies for their part in his Christmas gift and for the work which they had done and good accomplished during the past year. A letter was read from the Sisters thanking the ladies for their part in their Christmas gift. The new officers asked for the same help and cooperation this year, and we are sure that they will receive it. After the meeting refreshments were served and games were played. Every lady in St. Christopher parish is automatically a member of the Altar Society, and the wives of every man who is a member of the parish and they are especially urged to attend these meetings. The attendance was very good, and especially on such a rainy night, but every lady should try to attend each meeting or as many as they possibly can. Altar Society meetings are held on the first Wednesday night of each month. Mark your new calendars. And speaking of calendars. Members of the parish are very appreciative of the calendars which the Rosner Drug Store on Main Street (Hank Rosner’s) and the Litzleman Coal and Supply Corporation on North Holmes Avenue have been so .kind to give to them. \ Annual Retreat for the ladies of St. Christopher at the (Continued to Page 3)

.Church Choir To Sing Rrahm’s Requiem The Chancel Choir is beginning to work on Brahm’s Requiem for Easter. It is not a requiem in the liturgical sense. The “Requiem” was composed from 1861-1866 on biblical texts selected by Brahms himself. In contrasting moods, the beautiful music reflects the composer’s compassion for those in sorrow. This work has become favorite Lenten Service music in churches the world over. It is inspiring to hear but even more rewarding to those who know it more intimately by studying it for performance. An invitation is extended to all who enjoy recreating good music to become a part of the Chancel Choir. CAT LOVERS CLUR Hi, Cats. We had our meeting at Betty’s house.
