RETURNING GOD'S GIFTS
In the previous two weeks, you have begun to hear and
read about our parish's participation in Returning
God's Gifts, a campaign to provide for the financial
future of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. A major
benefit of the Returning God's Gifts campaign will
be the dedication of $15,000,000 in endowment principal
to help ensure that Catholic education is available to
our children. An endowment of $10,000,000 will be
devoted for tuition assistance grants to help Catholic
parents who could not otherwise send their children to
archdiocesan, regional and parochial high schools and
parish elementary schools. An additional $5,000,000 in
endowment funding will be set aside for facility and
program needs at our archdiocesan, regional and
parochial high schools. Initially, revenue of $750,000
to $1,500,000 annually is expected to be available for
use in these areas of need.
Meeting Schedule: Report Meeting for Leadership Team,
Major Gift Committee and Team Captains at Mary Queen of
Universe at 7:00 pm.
Retirement Fund for Religious
There will be a second collection today for the Retired
Religious. A special envelope for this purpose was in
your packet. These men and women have served us
faithfully for decades. We cannot forget them in their
hour of need. Please be as generous as possible.
Vote!
Self-Nominations are now being accepted for anyone who
wants to run for the Parish Council in the December
elections. Candidates must be registered parishioners,
18 years of age, and willing to attend monthly meetings
as we give shape to the future directions of our
parish. Call the rectory to submit your name.
All Souls Day
This weekend at all the masses we will have a solemn
reading of all the names of the persons who were buried
from Most Precious Blood during this past year. Their
names have been inscribed in the Book of the Deceased
which is on display in the sanctuary during the month
of November. If you would like to have your loved
one's name added to the book, please drop a line to the
rectory or in the collection basket. We will be sure
to add their name to the book. Feel free to look in
the book and find the name of loved ones who have died
in the past year.
YOUTH MASS
The Youth Group from the Parish School and School of
Religion will be at the 9:30 am mass next Sunday,
November 9. Their annual communion Sunday is a special
day to pray for God's blessings on their futures and
their friendships. We are very grateful to all the
adults who are working with our children.
BAPTISMAL PREP-PROGRAM
We require that parents who want to have their child
baptized to attend one preparation meeting before
setting the date for baptism. This is normally held on
the first Sunday of the month at 7:00 pm in the
rectory. Please call Deacon Allen Boedeker to make
reservations for the class at 481-8968.
Eucharistic Ministers
The new schedules are now ready to be picked up in the
sacristy. Please be sure to read carefully because
there are some very important changes.
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
4:30, Monday thru Friday. 487-6456 Thank you.
ELECTION DAY
Tuesday of this week is Election Day. Please remember
to exercise your right to vote. Study the issues and
make informed choices. This is a right we often take
for granted.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
The monthly meeting of the Board is scheduled for
Tuesday, November 4 at 7:00 pm in the rectory meeting
room.
PARISH COUNCIL MEETING

Training Session for Returning God's Gifts Program, the

SOCIAL JUSTICE TEACHINGS
Rich countries have the duty to work for solutions, and
poor countries have a right to development not only of
individual persons but of whole peoples. People in
developing countries have to do their part and make
themselves instruments of their own liberations,
launching the spirit of initiative in every field.
Developed countries should have the courage to open
themselves to migration, which experience shows, has
led to its own benefit. The history of the Americas
shows this.
