APPEAL TO THE CATHOLIC'POPULA
TION OF SAINT MICHAEL'S PARISH
"IN PALMER ■
On account of th£ fcvevy sad fact
that two thirds of our Catholic
people do not come to Church, I,
the undersigned, a3 their iastor,
make use of the "Valley Settler'1*
to reach then.
There are still some who have not
been confirmed; the extraordinary .
Faculty granted to me by the Holy
Sea, to administer the Sacrament
of Confirmation EXPIRES after
CHRISTMAS. Therefore send in
your names before it will be too
late. The lack o" interest shown
by a great number of Catholics i3
not only anoffense toward Almighty
Ood but is also a sign that my
presence here is not appreciated.
If there i3 a legitimate reason
for not attending Holy Mass on
Sundays and Holy Days of Obliga
tion, of which Cor'’ alone Is the
sole JUDGE and also your COIF*
SCIENCE you are* excused but that
does not excuse you for not con
tributing toward the .support of
■your Church which, as you all know.
Is a '•.Oommandrhent of the Church in
this country. Therefore I have
suggested that each fairily pay
$4,00 a month or ONE dollar a week
toward the support of their Church
there will ho NO collections taken
up or. Sundays or Holy Lays of Obli
gation, This arrangement will •
sta^t after Christmas, 'By pledg
ing yourself to' do this, -you will
have complied with the Church lew
and your obligation. There is
always plenty of money for shows,
dances,drinks, cars and a number
of other things. Of course you
are entitled to recreation and
decent amusements but you must not
forget your duties toward God and
your Church,
In- Union of prayers
Devotedly yours in Christ
