LARGE CLASS
RECEIVED
COMMUNION

Two hundred boys and girls re-
ceived their first holy communion in
st. Mary,s church at Mt, Angel yes
terday morning, amid impressive cer-
emonies. At s o'clock, headed by
acolytes and the Mount Angel band,
the children marched to the church
from the parochial school. At the
church solemn high mass was cele-
brated Then the children again
marched to the school, where break
fast was served.
Two hundred is the largest num-
Der a country parish of the diocese
has ever had in communion class.
The unusually large number is the
outcome Of a recent decree Of the
Pope regarding first communion,
which requires that all children who
have attained the age of reason be
admitted to the sacrament. The GUS
tomary age heretofore has been be-
tween IL and Is years.
