The o'clock mass on each third sun
day Is reserved exclusively for the men,
at which there is congregational sing
ing of the hymns. as well as the chant
ing OF a portion OF the music OF the
mass. Under the careful supervision OF
the Rev. Del. Mcdonald this devotion

loked forward TO each month by the
Catholic men Of the parish with much
pleasure. Many OF the men OF the ad-
p0ining parishes Of St. Joseph's Holy
Name, and ST. Patricks. participate in
this devotional exercise. until the
demonstration each month has become
one Of the most remarkable IN Catholic
