The annual meeting of the Greek Catholic parish was held last Sunday in St. Peter and Paul Church Hall, at 30th and Central Park Avenue, in Chicago.

At that meeting, among other progressive things, the Gregorian calendar has been adopted. Our thanks to the brothers of Eastern faith who made a real step ahead in spite of the arguing and conniving back in the old country. A real solidarity of our three branches of the same people, and although we have differences in our religions, the fact that we have the same calendar and the old-Slavic language in the Catholic and in the Eastern Church, will bring us closer to acknowledge and understand Jugoslavia as a United Kingdom.

According to the news from Jugoslavia, it will not be long before the Glagolica (old-Slavic) language is used in all Catholic churches. May God speed it up. The quicker the better.

The above reasons are sufficient to make every parent realize the value in sending their children to the meetings. Our youth branch 17 has about two hundred members; about one third of that number should attend meetings. If they do this, we could make it interesting for them. We could arrange entertainments, give lectures, etc. All this, I think, could be done only if parents cooperate and send their children to meetings.
