Students take part in recent public speaking competition Ten young people participated in a commitment ceremony during St. Columban Sunday morning Mass in St. Columban Church presided by Father Tony Daniels. The ceremony begins the period of preparation for confirmation. The candidates from St. Columban will join young people from St. Patrick's in Dublin and St. Vincent de Paul in Mitchell in receiving the sacrament of confirmation in a ceremony presided by Bishop John Sherlock at St. Patrick's in Dublin on May 1. Parishioners from St. Columban are also busy preparing for the upcoming penitential season of Lent. It will begin with Ash Wednesday Mass in St. Columban Church at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 28. Several local ladies attended the annual Catholic Women's League Fun Night held at the Mitchell arena. The event, sponsored by the CWL councils from Dublin, Mitchell, Kennicott and Kinkora, was overwhelmingly supported as ladies from all over the Huron -Perth Deanery gathered for a night of fun and fellowship. The skilled harmony of the Swiss Choir, who sang "a cappella" in five languages, topped the evening. The Swiss Choir is comprised of men and women from different areas of Switzerland, dressed in the diverse costumes representing the small, diverse villages of the distinct areas from which they have come. It was explained that each area keeps their own identity but they unite together to keep Switzerland strong. Kevin and Nancy Kale, Patrick and Michael, visited in Ottawa with friends, Joan and Stu Wilson, Matthew and Tim. While there, they took in the sights and sounds of "Winterlude," a winter festival. Rosemary Balfour has returned from North Delta, B.C., where she visited with her sister, Loretta and Gord Butters and family. Jim and Janneke Murray recently took a trip to Fort Lauderdale, Horida, where they participated in seminars. They then travelled to Port Charlotte, Florida, where they visited with Pat and Wilf Hartleib and family. Members of the St. Columban Choir joined members of the St. James Choir in an evening of fun, food and fellowship held at the home of Rudy Jansen. Games of "One Eyed Jacks" and "Sequence" as well as visiting ensured that a good time was enjoyed by all. The students at St. Columban School celebrated Valentine's Day with a "Red/Pink" day during which everyone could dress up in red or pink. The Grade 5 class took the prize because the entire class dressed appropriately. The Grade 7 and 8 classes held a belated Valentine's dance after the snow wreaked havoc with their original attempt. Everyone brought their favourite CD to provide music. The Grade 4 class participated in a retreat day in preparation for receiving the sacrament of reconciliation. The Grade 6, 7 and 8 classes have enjoyed some curling and hockey. Public speaking is a big event at the school. Competitions were held recently at the school level. In the Junior Division (Grades 4, 5 and 6) Carolyn Murray placed first with a speech about "Grandparents"; Janelle Murray placed second speaking about "Fairy Tales"; and Lisa Ducharme placed third speaking about "Being Short." In the Intermediate Division (Grades 7 and 8) Kailyn Burke placed first talking about the Columbine High School shooting; Michelle Van Loon placed second with a speech about "Short Forms"; and Christina Simons placed third talking about forms of discrimination in being "Blue-eyed." Kailyn Burke competed this past Sunday at the Mitchell Legion competition with her speech on the Columbine shooting and placed first. She will advance to the zone competition at the Seaforth Legion.
