Show St. Ann's "Sewing Society. The members of St. Ann's Sewing society so-ciety will meet for the first time since j July, next Monday. The president, Mrs. j Margaret McMahon, returned from the east last; week and intends to take the work up vigorously. For many years) the society has gone along quietly with- j out any "hurry" or "bustle," but the w;ork has been done. Many non-Catholics have given their time to the good work, thereby helping the devoted, tired, hard-working sisters at St. Ann's. The women meet every Monday at 2 and sew until 5. Much work is taken home to be finished during the week. Dresses, aprons, underwear, trousers, shirts and everything for children is carefully made, while hundreds of stockings-are "darned," only to be "undarned" the next week by the youngsters, but the good women go on their way, in all humility hu-mility and peace, so only God and the patient sisters at St. Ann's know of the good they do. If there are any women, old or young, in the parish who wish to become acquainted with the truly good Catholic women of the city, let them come on next Monday afternoon to the episcopal residence, resi-dence, adjoining, the cathedral. ' There they will meet the most gentle and kindly kind-ly of women, Mrs. McMahon, who will introduce them to the devoted band of women who work for the little orphan children who are in the care of the grandest, noblest prelate of the Catholic Catho-lic world, Rt. Rev. Bishop Scanlan. |
