1957 ANNUAL PARISH REPORT

CHURCH OF SAINT ALBERT THE GREAT
4672 PARKER AVENUE
DEARBORN MICHIGAN

Dear Parishioner:
This is the Annual Report of your Parish for the year 1957. It is, indeed, a report that every parishioner can be proud of. This report reflects the growth of the Parish as well as the tremendous co-operation that everyone in the Parish gave.
First, we will take up the Spiritual Life of the Parish. There were 161 Baptisms including 4 converts. 91 made their First Holy Communion, while 115 received the Sacrament of Confirmation, including 17 adults. 24 Marriages took place in this Parish. There were 9 funerals.

Besides regular Mass, attendance on Sundays, and Holy Days, the Priests of the Parish were most edified to distribute Holy Communion to 33,600. That so many received Holy Communion often is due to the relaxation of the Eucharistic Fasting Laws. We sincerely hope that this New Year of 1958 will see a tremendous increase in frequent Communion.

For this report, both spiritual and temporal, you parishioners are to be highly commended. In the name of the Church Committee, I ask for your continued co-operation with the promise to pray to Almighty God to continue to bless you in this year of 1958. Again I want to say THANK YOU for making this report possible.

Cordially yours in Christ
