Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Junior Branch of the First Slovak Catholic Union
Osadne Hlasy, June 5, 1931
The Junior Branch of the First Catholic Slovak Union will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary on Sunday, June 14. On that day, they will attend a picnic in Pilsen Park, given by the Federation of Lodges, of the First Slovak Catholic Union, this making it a joint celebration. The main feature of the occasion will be a procession of school children from Assumption Parish to Pilsen Park, where they will attend Benediction. During the march, music will be rendered by a well-known band from Whiting, Indiana, composed of school children and conducted by Father Lach.
2During the day, there will be various entertainments and athletic events given by the school children, such as foot races and jumping. There will be some short but interesting speaking. During the program, music will be rendered by Father Lach's band.
This is the first time that the majority of the local lodges of the Junior Branch have gotten together for any kind of celebration. Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, in order to inspire our children further in their work, we must attend this festival, for the future fraternal life of our youngsters depends on it. We realize that economic conditions are bad at this time; consequently, all we ask of you is to try to be provided with the admission price. By so doing, we prove to our children that we value the interest they take in their work, and also that we are ready to help them.
