Each member of Catholic Action having re- ceived the oil of Christian doctrine, must then change it into light of truth and warmth of life, to give light to every soul. They must be a burning and shining lump since they are to' announce Christ to the World? eRev. John McNichochs, OR, S.T.M. SENIORS 151

IN MEMORIAM 1890-1947 am Qatam Jaekawuwmki . . . No person too little, no request too small. This was the attitude of our former pastor, Reverend Constantine A. Skowronski who met his Creator, Sunday, February 23, 1947. Father Skowronski started his pastoral duties at St. Joseph in August, 1933. His first project was the payment of the huge parish debt. Under his leadership the present High School Sodality was started and rose to heights, the best in the city. He was the champion of fair play. Throughout his pastorate here he always taught the stud- ents fair play win or lose. He helped make St. Joseph High School, second to none. During the year of 1944, deaths of diocesan priests made it neces- sary for his transfer to Holy Rosary Parish. Father Skowronskiis sudden death came as a thief in the night, suddenly and quietly. Al- though Father did not receive the Last Sacraments he said two holy Masses on the same morning and was the main speaker at a city wide K. of C. breakfast. We are sure that if he had expressed a last wish it would have been to die in the same manner. As a final tribute to Father Skowronski, the students of St. Joseph, attended a funeral mass for him at Holy Rosary Church and offered a spiritual bouquet of ten High Masses. 10
