MARY’'S CHURCH The Feast of the Nativity of fl’.le Savior of mankind was ubserved in St. Mary’s church on-Wednesday with four public masses .and two privgte services, each priest being privileged to offer three masses on this solemn feast day. The high mass at 5.30 was offered by Rev. Willlam H. Kennedy and at that early hour the chufch was ecrowded with worshippers who have always made it a point to hear the first mass on Christmas day. The senior choir was in attendance under the direction of the organikt, Mrs. fThomas ;J, Haaly. Following this mass, Father Kennedy offered a mass in private at the convent chapel and also read the low mass at 7.30. The 9 o'clock mass was offered by the pastor, Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice, and at this service the Christmas carols were rendered by the junior choir, Tmmediately following this mass, Fa- ther Fitzmaurice read anoiher mass and alSo sang the high mass at 10.30 and following this service came bene- diction of the blessed sacrament which was clso given by the pasto:.
