Catholic church news Thanksgiving mass was celebrated by Farther Rooert Morrissey Sunday morning. The whole parish was glad to welcome him back after his recent hospital stay and he thanked everyone for their cards, gifts and good wishes. The sermon was based on the gospel of the ten lepers and the spirit of ingratitude which seems to be so prevalent in today's society. Father Morrissey em- phasized that we must show true gratitude for the things we have been given, reflec- ting in kindness and simple courtesy toward others. We must remember that only one leper returned to thank Jesus for the healing. The other nine were obviously healed physically, but not spiritually. We cannot allow forget- fulness to serve as an excuse for courtesy. A proper spirit of gratitude must serve as a basis for grace to work in our lives. The cash draw for church improvement was held after mass. Winners were, first, $2000. won by Eugene Tremblay of Wallaceburg; second . $500. won by Beth Breen, Grand Bend; third, $200. won by Billy McDonald, Toronto; fourth, $100. won by Carol Deitz, Grand Bend. • The annual dinner meeting for the Alhambra will be held Wednesday October 12 at the Alhambra Hall at 7 p.m. This will be nominations and elections for the new ex- ecutive.
