The repository on Holy Thursday was
a work of art and reflected great credit
upon all who by their generous dona-
tions assisted in beautifying the rest

the Altar society, who did the decorat-
ing, displayed artistic skill.
The Affairs and Sanctuary on Easter
Sunday were truly beautiful picture,
the flowers sending forth their sweet
odor as incense to the throne of the

cleaning in harmony with the large
number of candles and lights made one

ladies' of the Altar society, who had
charge of the decorating, truly deserve
