Terrill Assistant Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:30—8:00—10:00—11:30 Celebration of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, at St. Christopher will begin with the midnight High Mass. Christmas music sung by the Boys’ and Men’s choirs, preceding the Mass, will begin about eleven-thirty. Other Masses will be said at seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven-thirty o’clock on Christmas day. These Masses following each other closely will encourage the parishioners to come for one mass and remain for another, as many like to hear more than one Mass on the birthday of the Christ Child. Each priest is permitted to say three Masses on Christmas. Confessions will be heard as usual on Saturday. Tney will be heard on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings from 7:30 till 9, and again on Wednesday afternoon from 4:30 to 6. No confessions will be heard on Christmas eve. There is also the opportunity for confession each week day morning after the 6:15 Mass until eight o’clock. Junior C.Y.O. will go carolling Christmas eve. The privilege will be afforded to everyone Sunday who wishes to be a part of the Christmas flowers on the altar at St. Christopher, even in a small way. Members of the Altar Society will accept donations at the doors of the church after all the Masses. Junior C.Y.O. members. Girl Scouts and Brownies will receive corporate Holy Communion Sunday at the eight o’clock Mass. Immediately following the Mass, breakfast will be served in the social room of the school. On Friday of this week a large number of ladies will clean the church in preparation for Christmas under the leadership of Mrs. Vanard Sherman, president of the Altar Society. If there is any lady who would like to be a part of this work and who has not been asked, she may call Mrs. Sherman as to the time schedule. High Masses this week at eight o’clock each morning were sung according to the following intentions: on Monday for Bernard Reilly, Junior and Senior, requested by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Glass; on Tuesday for Joseph Kempf requested by Mrs. Kempf and family; Ivana Sinkovic requested the Mass yesterday for Gabriel Russ; this morning the Mass was for Elizabeth Glass requested by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Glass; and, tomorrow for Marie Hamburg, the mother of one of St. Christopher teachers, requested by Johanne Schneider, another member of St Christopher faculty.
