PERTH AMBOY, N. J. We would like to inform all of our members of the Perth Amboy Magyar Reformed Church of the decision of the church council regarding a past church law forbidding couples of mixed marriages to participate in Holy Communion in our church.

Therefore, anyone who has been denied Holy Communion in the past should feel free to participate in the elements with us from this day forward.
