POSTAGE PAID Mexican Hat, Utah Permit No. 2 TF.Ji; COHPANIONS mentioned above are: Brother Juniper, Helen Sturges anti Joan :8: sk~ll. This MESSAGE differs in f orm from our previous ones, by vote of the ·Companio!ls " , who felt that the reprint of Dorothy Faber's article should be seen by all our friends. Her "Magazine for Responsible Christians", too, ought to be known by .vou all. It is called THB CHRISTIAN CHALU NGi'~ , and can be ordered from P. O. Box 9871, H. N. Station, Aiustin, Texas 98766. Reprints of the article from us. Just ask. Our readers are accustomed to hearing about Chr1stmas at ~ aster and vice versa, so we make no apology for telling YO'l that we had a great and rather unusual Christmas: it began with midnip;ht Mass in our Oratory, as we expected a visiting prj est, an Athabascan, to offer the 11:00 a.m. Mass in the Church. He didn't appear, so Father took his place, and had just put off his vestments when someone cried out, "Here comes our Navajo cop and family of 121" and, sure enough, all the way from Aneth (100 miles), but also, as we learned, from taking an old man home to a place on a high mesa near Shonto, Arizona (a round trip of about 400 miles). He also found out that he had brought a new baby to be baptised -- so we ended up by having a baptism and third Mass - with sermon - quite fitting the Ch1~stmas tradition! The ladies of the parish had ~rranged for refreshments and it was a merry afternoon. Dick Drabble has been in the V.A. Hospital in Albuquerque for several weeks for treatment. itle expect that he will be with us again by the time you receive this Message. Pray for his complete recovery. D. V., we shall all be r oing to liashotah for the event on r·1ay 18 when The House grants the degree of D.D. to f ather - an event which he never expected to happen. (And we think it couldn't happen to a more wonderful priest and personll -- "The Companions"). Perhaps some of you who live within reach will want to be there. We'll tell you all about it in our next Message. |
