meeting, Mary Giberson and Amy

happier.
McCurdy-Huronope contest
On Thursday even g the students
from kindergarten to grade 3 of
McCurdy -Huron Hope school
presented their Christmas concert,
"The Real Meaning of Christmas".
The first of many "angels" that
evening, Trevor Gregoire gave a very
humorous reading, to start off the pro-
ceedings. Then the kindergarten class
came out to charm the audience with
several carols and recitations 'C is for
Christ child" to "Jingle Bells" like so
many cherubs.
The Huron -Hope students presented
the puppets, 'The Kids on the Block",
to sing 'Kids are Different" the theme
song of a special group of angels. The
puppets were introducedtbyArnold
Mathers, superintendent of Programs
of the Huron County Board of Educt. -
tion. Four of the puppets performed
for the assembly; Mark in a
wheelchair with cerebral palsy, and
Melody, an "average" student; and
Valerie in braces, with spina bifida
24nd another who is overweight. It was
a very moving presentation.
The lights dimmed as a chorus of
angels, garbed in white robes, with
tinsel halos, glided in carrying tiny
lights. As they sang "Noel, Noel"
those traditional well -loved
characters of the Holy Family and -the
Friendly Beasts entered the stage to
re-enact that Blessed Night.
The tiny actors performed their
parts well; the angel chorus sounded
well,alnlost heavenly; and many a
parent hastily wiped away a tear. The
artists who painted the Bethlehem
scenes did a beautiful iob too.
The teachers are to be con-
gratulated in organizing and directing
the students in such a fine Christmas
pageant, a credit to their parents and
their school.

Marg Love, Grand Bend, is just
beaming and for good reason too. She
and Jim became the proud grand-
parents of Thomas William Lave Last
Friday. Wm. (Bill) Love, a great-
grandfather, gladly welcomes his

Christmas dinner on Saturday,
December 7 at the Colonial. Before

Catholic Church news
Sunday was Gaudete of Rejoicing
Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent
,and one of, the parish families
assisted Father Morrissey in lighting
the candles on the Advent Wreath.
Parishioners brought in their dona-
• tions of toys, food and money for
needy families, and placed them
around the Nativity scene at the altar,
either before Mas or after the offer-
tory during Mass. to a large pile
of donations had accu mulated by
the end of the weekend Masses, and
Father Morrissey will certainly be
able to put them to good use.
In his sermon Father Morrissey ex-
amined the substance of our belief in
God. Despite the many ugly situations
to see or read about, one can still ap-
preciate the beauty of creation and
the finest efforts of men, in art or
science, so most people acknowledge
the existeQf God.
Congratulations and welcome to the
Catholic community, Matthew
Kelders, son of John and Vickie
(Gooding), who received the Sacra-
ment of Baptism this past week. The
sympathy of the parish is extended to
Lydia Ducpou, on the death of her
father, John Hemmeryckic and to
Maureen Denomme, on the death of
her father John Devlin. Both died
very suddenly this past week.

will be a Communal Celebration of
the Sacrament of Confession at 2 p.m.
Father Morrissey encourages all
parishioners to come as a family and
have their relationship with God heal-
ed in this Holy Season of Christmas.

available in the church, to avoid
waiting too long. Confessions will also
be available on Wednesday night at
