Clinton News-Record, 1984-09-19, Page 29Pope John Pau II Locals take trip to see the Pope CLINTON - It was 5 a.m. Saturday morning when members of the Clinton Knights of Columbus and St. Joesphs Parishioners embarked a bus on pilgrimage to see the Pope at the Downview site in Toronto. The purpose of the mission was to join the thousands of other volunteer workers to sell souvenir books of the Pope's visit to Canada to the half million people who were present. "Earlier in the week we had witnessed many appearances on television at the Quebec and Maritimes visits. But really and truly, it was an uplifting experience to see him in person," according to Rene Brochu of the Clinton Knights of Columbus. "When our day's work of selling was done, the working crew was ushered to a spot im-, mediately behind the 10,000 voice choir. We all had a clear view of the Altar pro- ceedings." Clinton's Reverend Father John Pluta,. was also a fortunate Clintonian as he was seated in the centre of row four among a strong 1,000 gathering of Ontario priests and bishops at St. Michaels Cathedral on Friday afternoon. He was also present at the 60,000 gathering of Polish people at the CNE for a evening of dancing and devotions. His messageis clear - Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Father and his mother Mary.

Everyone relaxed in the delightful at- mosphere and exchanged tales of summer experiences around the punch bowl before savouring an elegantly served delicious turkey dinner. Due to their very busy September schedule the Sorority decided to combine their first meeting with the beginning day program. The various committees reported on the three park benches at the public pool - side, and the welcome signs at the five en- trances to Clinton, that appeared over the summer and then elaborated on the plans for the Fashion Show with My Fair Lady - Fashions. Plans for some of the corning years socials and fund raisers were also set in motion, with everyone especially an- ticipating the Medieval Feast later this month. With the business properly attended to members turned their attention to the. Sin- fully delectable black forest cake and coffee served in the parlour. The evening ended in fun with an auction sale of souvenirs the members had brought from their vacations, all disguised in bright coloured packages. The bidding reflected the renewed enthusiasm' of the members starting another sorority year. The sorority members gathered again, before daybreak, the following Saturday morning for the annual "surprise breakfast." The girls were trailed out in their assorted night attire the first week of sorority this year in the. hope of putting the element of surprise back into the breakfast! Linda Meade was hostess to the "Country Style" breakfast where everyone enjoyed fresh squeezed orange juice, sausage and eggs complete with home -fries, warm muf- fins and preserves: VON holds national meeting_ When the Victorian Order of Nurses holds its 86th National Annual Meeting in Toronto, September 20 to 22, Perth County resident, David Howard, Prbsident of the Board of, Management of the Perth -Huron Branch of VON will head the delegation from this area.
