“MINSITRY FAIR”

We are going to have a “Ministry Fair” after all the Masses on the weekend of Sept. 30/Oct. 1. That’s what we’re calling it. What’s going to happen is that all of the various parish organizations will set up some kind of sta- tion or booth, and give everyone a chance to join the group and participate in its services. So if you’re new to the parish or have been out of the loop for a while and would like to take a more active role in the life of the Church, stop by the lunchroom after Mass that weekend and sign up! There are all kinds things going on, some of which you were probably unaware of, and you’ll do yourself and the parish a favor by being a part of it.

RCIA

This is the time of year when our classes for those who wish to become Catholic commence. They are, of course, known as the RCIA (Rite for the Christian Initiation of Adults). If you (or anyone you know) would like to take part in them, please let me know as soon as possible.

THE HARVEY FLOOD

As I announced last week, we are taking up a collection to help the poor victims of the catastrophic flooding in Houston. Please put your offerings in the basket this weekend, but, by all means, if you can’t make an offering until later, then get it in whenever you can. Here’s what to do: 1) take one of your own envelopes (preferably a plain, white one) and write “HOUSTON”, or “FLOOD”, or “HARVEY” (anything that would let us know that it’s for flood relief in Houston after Hurricane Harvey); 2) write your own name and envelope number on it, too; 3) insert your offering, whether cash or check (checks should be made payable to “St. Angela Merici” – we’ll just write one check to Catholic Charities for the full amount collected, and writing your check to the parish makes it easier for us to credit you for your contribution); 4) drop it in the basket, whether this Sunday or whenever you can (the basket will not be passed twice). As you know, the devastation is enormous and many people have lost everything. Please be as generous as you can!

UPCOMING EVENTS

- September 28: We will honor St. Wenceslaus, patron of the Czechs, on his feast day with an evening of Czech food, including Veprova Pecene (roast pork), Goulash, Chicken Paprika (pepper chicken), Knedliky (potato dumplings), Zeli (Czech sauerkraut), Kolacky (little coffee cakes).

- November: Pictures for a new parish photo directory to be taken (the last one was in ’12)

-(TBD): Pilgrimage to the EWTN Network complex in Alabama. We’re working out the details now, but it should wind up being a 3-day sojourn by bus for our parishioners who would like to see and experience this vibrant and vital exercise of American Catholicism. As I’ve indicated, we have nothing planned, not even the dates for the pilgrimage, but most likely, it will be next spring. I’m reluctant to quote a price, but we’ll try to keep it to around $350.

QUIZ-A-CATHOLIC

This one is going to be on our local clergy, past and present; see how much you know:

1. Name all the priests from St. Louis who are now of other dioceses. 2. Fr. Mitulski at St. Norbert’s was the dean of our deanery; he was just replaced by whom? 3. We have two auxiliary bishops in our diocese, one active, one emeritus : name them. 4. Name all the previous of St. Angela Merici. 5. How many of the ones in #4 above are still living? 6.
