HOMECOMING UPDATE
There are so many people and institutions to thank for
making the Homecoming such a success. You will find
enclosed in the bulletin a list of companies who
donated prizes to the festival. We want to publicly
acknowledge them and encourage you to support their
businesses.
We also want to thank all the coordinators and
booth captains for the hours of work that go into
preparing for such an event. It takes months of
planning and you really pulled it off. Thanks again,
too, to Sue Augsburger the Chairperson for this years
event. It really was a Homecoming for so many. And
finally thanks again to all the volunteers who worked
the booths, kitchen, fry shed, and money counting. It
was real team work. Early figures look like $23,000 as
the gross number (this is before any expenses are
paid). We should surpass last year's profit. The
final word goes to all who came to the Homecoming.
Your generous support is much appreciated. This is
what memories are made of.
CATECHETICAL SUNDAY
Today is Catechetical Sunday. We honor the faculties
from the Parish School, School of Religion, the Adult
Faith Development Committee, and the RCIA Team as our
Catechists. They and the Board of Education will make
a commitment to the parish at the 9:30 am mass today to
carry out the Religious Education Programs for our
parish during the coming year. Our Catechists and
Board Members will then be invited along with their
families to a brunch in the school cafeteria. Be sure
to keep them in your prayers. Remember! Religious
Education is the #2 priority of our parish. Only
liturgy ranks ahead of it.
PARISH RETREAT
This is the first time we are sponsoring a parish
retreat. It will be held on Sunday, September 21, at
Our Lady of Snows Shrine in Belleville, Il. Families
of all ages, with or without children, single persons,
widows, widowers and divorced persons with or without
children are welcome to come. The day will include 2
meals and a Sunday mass. You will need to register.
Sign up after mass or call the rectory (487-6456).
Welcome New Members
Twice a year we have a Welcoming Brunch for new
parishioners. The next brunch is scheduled for Sunday,
October 5 after the 9:30 am mass. If you are new to
the area and/or have not previously registered, please
give the rectory a call. We would like to personally
invite you to meet the leadership and to see what kind
of services and programs we have to offer here at MPB.
Join us in creating God's family here in south county.
PRIESTS DAY OF PRAYER
This Tuesday, September 16, our archdiocese is
celebrating a day for the sanctification of priests.
All Catholics are invited to pray throughout the day
that a spirit of holiness would fill the hearts of our
priests in imitation of Jesus Christ, the High Priest.
The priests themselves will be gathering for prayer
together with the Archbishop, from 10am to 3 pm.
Special Mass
MOTHER THERESA MEMORIAL
- Archbishop Justin
Rigali celebrated a memorial mass for Mother Theresa at
7 pm on September 11th at the St. Louis Basilica
Cathedral. Parishioners are invited to attend a
memorial mass here at Most Precious Blood on Wednesday,
September 17 at 8:00 am. We praise and thank God for
the gift of her life and the legacy she has left in
caring for the poor.
GOLD ENVELOPE
The Parish Council and the Finance Committee have both
recommended to me that we discontinue the Gold Envelope
which has been included in your monthly envelope
packet. It has achieved it's purpose. We have paid
off the new boiler in the Church/School building,
repaired the basement flooding problem in the rectory,
repaired the roof leaks on the school and after
replacing the borrowed money to pay for the things we
have built up a little reserve fund. We are very
grateful for all that the parishioners have done to
meet the crisis. A full explanation of our finances
and the planning we are doing for the future will be
presented at the masses on the weekend of October
11/12. Detailed information from the finance committee
will be given. The Gold Envelope has stopped as of
September 1, 1997.
