ARCHDIOCESE-WIDE CAMPAIGN ALSO PROVIDES FOR NEEDS AT RESURRECTION PARISH
Last week we announced the start of an exciting endowment fund campaign for the Archdiocese of St. Louis called RETURNING GOD'S GIFTS-SHARING OUR HOPE. The goal is this historic effort is to raise at least $55,000,000 from all parishioners in the Archdiocese. These funds will ensure the ability of our Church to meet important needs in the areas of parish viability, Catholic education, and priests' retirement on into the future.
Each parish, including ours, has received a financial target which represents our fair share of the overall goal. Importantly, 10% of what is raised from parishioners at Resurrection will be returned to our parish for meeting our own needs-our current costs, and adding to our own endowment. More news and information about this exciting effort going on in the Archdiocese of St. Louis will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.

from the Pastor's Pen

HALLELUJAH! The day is here. As I write this, our sign is being installed on the church lawn. It is a magnificent addition to our church-in fact, it looks like it belongs there, which is how the architect, Ted Wofford, designed it. We are deeply indebted to Grace Gaedig, who proposed to donate this project a year ago, in honor of her beloved Charlie. Her vision was "right on', and gives us at Resurrection something we've long needed-instant name recognition from the street for all who pass by. We will be completing this in the weeks ahead with landscaping and lighting, and will schedule a formal dedication in the fall. Many thanks to Art Birkenmeier, a friend of mine from St. Simon's, who has donated his time and efforts all year to negotiating this project with the quarries and contractors. We would not be at this point without him.

Thank you all for your patience with the video shown in church last week on the "Returning God's Gifts" campaign. WE were urged to do this even if viewing or hearing conditions were not the best. It seemed to come off fairly well, in fact. Many of our parishioners are already involved in the work of this effort, and all of us will be. It is drawing the archdiocese together. In answer to a frequent question, this will have little effect on our own endowment program. It is doing quite nicely, the occasional Sunday envelopes are being well used and we are building it to a meaningful level. Let's just ask God to distribute our personal and our parish resources as best we can for the work of the church.

Thank you Grace!
