Jack Marentette last Thursday evening. Officiating at the service was Rev. Loebach, Dean of London Diocese; The processional was "iVe Have Something to Sing About". Father Loebach asked the congregation for its support and prayers for Father Marentette and told of the need for young men to enter the priesthood and to spread the good news. He told of parishes without full-time priests because of the need for them to serve in the mission fields for at least two years, as Father Marentette had done in Peru. Father Loebach then led Father Marentette to all the a rsday sacramental positions and asked for his dedication in upholding the sacraments. Father Marentette replied, "I will do this with God's grace." The congreg tion then gave its s 4pport by responding, "We will do so, the Lord being our Helper". Father Loebach then led in prayer asking for God's blessing. The celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed. The choir, under the "direction of Mrs. R. Cam- peau, sang the beautiful and inspiring hymn "Do You, Really Love Me? Jesus said - to Peter". The recessional hymn was "Sing Praises to the Living God".
