Daughters 367 holiday luncheon Dec. 6

IRON MOUNTAIN — The Daughters of Isabella Circle 367 will host its holiday luncheon at noon Thursday, Dec. 6, at Holiday Kitchen in Iron Mountain.

This gathering will be in place of the December formal meeting. The usual subject of December donations will be deferred and discussed at a later meeting.

The Jan. 3 meeting will be hosted by Barbara Bednard.

The Circle met Nov. 1, which was conducted by Vice Regent Marcene Fuse at the Immaculate Conception Faith Formation Center for regent Bednard, who was delayed.

A spiritual reading was presented by the chancellor of the life highlights of St. Martin of Tours, who was born in the 4th century, year 316, in Hungary of pagan parents. His father made him join the Army, serving for five years. He then gave up the military life, withdrawing to the caves to preach and convert many pagans.

He entered a monastery and was baptized after he saw Jesus in a dream wearing the half cloak he had given to a beggar. He established a monastery at Poitiers in 362 and was an ideal pastor, founding other monasteries, educating clergy and preaching the gospel to the poor.

He was later ordained and became Bishop of Tours. He tore down many temples and replaced them with churches and chapels. Martin died Nov. 9, 397 at Cades.

An invitation was extended for the Michigan Cookie Cutter Christmas Gala to be Dec. 1 in Davison in lower Michigan.

Information from Heidi Kubinski, state regent, was read on activities discussed at the International Convention in August.

The Hail Mary prayer for November will be intended for Cindy Schmidt, daughter of member Delores Hamby.

Birthdays were acknowledged for Norma Simon and Dorothy Burkart, who were present.

Coffee and dessert was served by hostess Louise Plante and Dolores Hamby, followed by bingo.
