FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK

Dear Parishioners,

We all eagerly anticipate enjoying the hamloaf dinner served by the Ladies of St. Andrew this Tuesday. Thanks to all making this happen. It is probably one of our biggest parish events. So many of you throughout the years do much to keep this great tradition alive.

I will participate in a one-day parish administrators - pastors retreat at the Spiritual Life Center Sunday evening and Monday. In serving St. Michael’s in Chapman, I fit into this role. Accordingly, there will be communion services Monday morning.

Priests and parish administrators have a Fall Renewal Day Thursday in Russell. Fr. Richard Hogan will present the church teaching on Natural Family Planning (NFP). This complements the Theology of the Body our late Pope John Paul II championed. This is a Pro-Life and thus Pro-God choice. It is so fitting that we learn more about this during October, the Respect Life and the Rosary month.

Next weekend I will be away doing a wedding in McCracken, Kansas. In case you ask where it is, the answer is that it is in Rush County about 40 miles southwest of Hays. Fr. John Wolesky of neighboring Solomon will have a Saturday wedding here. Bishop Emeritus George K. Fitzsimons will have the weekend Masses here and in Chapman.

In preparing for the NET retreat for young people (grades 7-12), we need and appreciate offers to help us house six young women and five young men. Contact us in the Parish Office if you can help. CRE Gloria Picking (Coordinator of Religious Education) along with me are hosting the event. We are inviting the young people in neighboring parishes to join us.

This National Evangelization Team (NET) comes to St. Andrew on Wednesday, November 8^th. Since we are using St. Andrew School for the event and break-out sessions, we will not have regular CRE classes that evening. The three hour event goes from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The Ladies of St. Andrew are assisting with the meals for the teams during the stay.

Throughout the years, I have seen NET do a good job in reaching our young people. Their enthusiasm and commitment to the Catholic faith helps evangelize our young people. This obviously is an integral part of our CYO- High School CRE. Throughout our entire lives, we need to continue our religious education.

Unfortunately, many wrongly assume that upon being confirmed, they are through with religious education for the rest of their lives. And so they quit. In no other area of their lives, would they ever dream of adopting such an attitude. It is our faithful living that determines how we spend eternity. Basically, we write our own ticket for eternity with our moral choices. Where do you want to go? Heaven or Hell?

The Catholic Community Annual Appeal (CCAA) letters have reached you by now. Thank you for your prayerful response of stewardship in this regard. The Building Fund continues to grow. It currently stands at $13,710.

The recent rains were certainly welcome. Farmers are especially happy about enough moisture for the wheat to have a good start. This need for rain helps us realize how dependent we all are on God. Developing trust in God is probably one of our more challenging spiritual tasks. The Diocesan Respect Life Commission is happy to announce the two buses going to Washington, D.C. Jan. 20-24 are now full. They will participate in the March for Life.

Mary, Mother of Life, pray for us.

Father Henry

October - Respect Life Month

The Pro-Life Rosary will be prayed each Sunday during October beginning at 10:05 A.M., prior to the 10:30 Mass. Please join us in praying to Jesus through Mary to end abortion.
