Title
The Gregorian in 1938
Description
This is a monthly newsletter of St. Gregory Church in Chicago titled "The Gregorian," dated October 16, 1938. The layout includes a header on top with the newsletter's title in a prominent font, flanked by two decorative lines. Below this, the page is divided into two columns of text.

The left column, under the heading "HIGH MASSES FOR THE WEEK," lists the schedule of masses for each day of the week, from Monday, October 17, to Sunday, October 23. It mentions specific types of masses such as Requiem masses and High Mass in honor of Our Sorrowful Mother, some with associated names, indicating masses dedicated to particular individuals or societies within the church.

On the right side, there are several sections starting with "A LETTER OF THANKSGIVING" from a parishioner expressing gratitude for her husband's conversion to Catholicism. Below that is a section titled "INTERESTING QUESTIONS" which previews lectures on faith and challenges to the church's teachings that are to be addressed in a Convert Class. It encourages engagement with these topics and announces the time for instruction classes.

Further down, "LADIES ALTAR SODALITY" announces a meeting and lecture, inviting new residents to attend. At the bottom, "Marriage Banns" lists couples who have announced their intentions to marry.

A footer on the page advertises for a funeral director, indicating the newsletter's role in community information sharing. "The Gregorian" seems to function as a monthly bulletin, informing parish members about liturgical schedules, church-related news, educational opportunities, and social events.
