Feast Of Ascension in Denver Cath

Feast Of Ascension in Denver Cath
Ollie Churches.
Never in the history of the diocese
has the Feast of the Ascension been
observed with such solemnity as that
which marked the day this year. In
many Of the churches it was the occa-
sion for reception of first holy COM
munion, and this added to the religious
significance of the day. In Logan ave-
nue. chapel a class of over seventy re-
ceived their first communion and were
confirmed, and at the Church of the
Sacred Heart there was an almost
equally large class In the other
churches special exercises We're held
and sermons appropriate TO the feast
were preached. There was a holiday in
all the parochial schools, while picnics
We're the order of the. day with many
of the children.
IN the pro-cathedral. which had the
largest communion class in its history,
The altar was banked high with white
flowers and greenery and the very best
vestments were brought forth from the
chests. The music was Of high order.
The children received holy communion
at the $50 o'clock mass, and after
that breakfast was served in the school |
rooms above the chapel. The girls !
from the senior classes served the lit |
tie ones and the parents came and held |
an informal reception. At the 1890 |!
O'Clock high mass, celebrated by Bish- 1
op y. {. Matz, continuation was adj |
ministered An innovation was intro !
duced inasmuch as each cOnfirmant |
was required 10 have individual Spon-
sors. In past years it has been the
custom for one man and one woman to
stand for the entire class, but Bishop
Matz explained on Sunday that in his
mind this was not the proper form any
more than it would be in baptism. His
remarks to the children on Thursday
were more in explanation of what the
sacrament Of confirmation means, and
he eXhOrted them to grow strong in
The faith by frequently receiving the
sacraments of penance and Holy Eu-
charist. The class had spent three days
in retreat and had been carefully pre-
pared by the Sisters OF Charity.
