Dial-a-Saint

Recorded prayers and messages of inspiration for the spiritually hungry have been part of the weaponry of big-city churches for a long time. Now the Redemptorist Fathers of the Holy Ghost Church in suburban Houston have devised a new telephonic treat: "Dial-a-Saint."

By dialing MOhawk 7-8383 a maximum of 220 callers an hour can hear a message tied to the saint whose day it is. Sample: "Too many of us have never learned the love of solitude in today's busy world. Our hero for today, St. Bruno, rebukes our ceaseless activity in the midst of people." At the end comes a commercial: a short reminder that Dial-a-Saint is presented by George H. Lewis & Sons, funeral directors.
