Announcing
Returning God's Gifts
: This weekend will kick
off the start of an exciting campaign for the
Archdiocese of St. Louis called Returning God's Gifts
- Sharing Our Hope. The goal of this historic effort
to raise at least $55 million from all parishioners in
our 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 Most Precious Blood will be returned to
our parish for meeting our own needs including the
continued financial support of our school. More news
and information about this exciting effort going on in
the Archdiocese will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.
The meetings for this week include the Team
Captains Training and Assignment Meeting on Monday,
October 27 at 7 pm at Mary Queen of the Universe
Cafeteria. All Team Captains are reminded to be there.
Special Mass
This weekend at the 9:30 am mass the parents and
students from the Parish School & School of Religion
who will be making their First Reconciliation and First
Communion this year will have their pledge of
commitment and enrollment of the students. This is an
important moment in our parish's faith life. Be sure
to keep these families and students in your prayers.
Retirement Fund for Religious
You will find a brochure in the bulletin today
pertaining to this collection. Please be as generous
as possible. These men and women have served us
faithfully. We can't forget them in their hour of
need. The collection will be next Sunday.
Welcome
We are happy to welcome Mr. Christopher Dunlap to the
staff of Most Precious Blood School. Mr. Dunlap, an
experienced Catholic elementary teacher, is the 5th
Grade homeroom teacher and English teacher for Grades
5-8. We wish Mr. Dunlap a long and happy career at
MPB.

always have a very special place in my heart.

Feast of All Saints
Since this feast falls on a Saturday this year, it is
not a holyday of obligation. We will celebrate the
feastday mass at 8:00 am in the morning. However, the
evening mass will be for the Sunday Feastday.
All Souls Remembrance
The Fifty Plus Club will assemble as a group at the
5:00 pm mass on Saturday, November 1 to pray for all
the deceased members. All the masses that weekend will
have a solemn reading of the names of deceased
parishioners who were buried from our Church this past
year. Their names were inscribed in the Book of the
Dead by family members and so we ask all parishioners
to remember them and their families in your prayers.
BOOK OF THE DEAD
During the month of November it is a tradition at MPB
to place the Book of the Dead in the sanctuary. Anyone
wishing to have a family member or friend's name
inscribed in the Book of the Dead is asked to write
that name(s) on a piece of paper along with "Book of
the Dead" and send it to the rectory or drop it in the
collection basket. Parishioners are encouraged to find
the names of your loved ones on previous pages in the
book. These persons have gone before us marked with
the sign of faith. Let us continue to remember them in
our prayers until we all meet again in the Lord.
Respect Life
If one contends, as we do, that the right of every
fetus to be born should be protected by civil law and
supported by civil consensus, then our moral, political
and economic responsibilities do not stop at the moment
of birth. Those who defend the right to life of the
weakest among us must be equally visible in support of
the quality of life of the powerless among us: the old
and the young, the hungry and the homeless, the
undocumented immigrant and the unemployed worker.
Cardinal Joseph Bernadin, "A Consistent Ethic of Life".
Time and Talent Catalogue
The new Time and Talent Catalogue will be coming out in
February. I am in the process of correcting and
up-dating the census list that appears in the back of
the book. If you have had a change of address or phone
number, or if you do not want your phone number listed
in the book, please call the rectory between 8:30 and
