“For God did not give us a spirit of coward-ice but rather of power and love and self-control.”
2 TIMOTHY 1:7
A good steward can-not be a coward. It takes strength, love and self-control to put God first in our lives. St. Paul assures us that we have been given the courage we need to do God’s work.

PARENTS: The Parent Network of Catholic High Schools (PNCHS) invites all parents to a presentation, RELATIVISM...It’s All Good...Or Is It? By Dr. Ed Hogan, Director of Paul VI Institute. Tolerance is often presented as a catch-all virtue. But is tolerance really a virtue, or is it the beginning of relativism? Was Jesus tolerant? Can it be true there is no truth? Come for a discussion of relativism—what it is, why it doesn’t work, and how we can challenge out teens to overcome it. The event is on Wed., Oct. 9, beginning at 7pm, at St. John Vianney High School, 1311 S. Kirkwood Rd.

Annunciation Catholic Church 6 Webster Groves, MO 63119
DON’T FORGET YOUR SALADS/CASSEROLES THIS MONDAY: We would like to thank all of you for bringing salads, “Ranch” dressing and casseroles every month. We are waging the war against hunger with our weap-ons of 1 lb. packages of salad, fresh vegetables, ranch dressing and casseroles. Extra gifts of packages of cookies or a loaf of bread are also appreciated. The coolers will be on the porch at 128 East Glendale Road by 7:00 AM and will remain there until 10:00 PM. Only casseroles, bags of salad and vegetables go in the coolers. Please place all non-perishables in the large Rubbermaid tub. This is critical since there are days when I will not be available to sort and rearrange place-ment of food. We need every bit of cooler space for the casseroles and salad. If you prepare a casserole for the program please make sure you label the lid be-fore you place it in the freezer, the writing stays on much better that way. It needs to say “ALUMNI CLUB” and THE TYPE OF CASSEROLE on the lid. This makes it possible for St. Patrick’s to know what is in the pan, as they serve a different type of casserole each evening. Thank you for your help in this very important mis-sion! Marty Useted, 799-7613, and Kristin Tegethoff, 963-7969
A final reminder to please join us for the annual Life Chain Sunday TO-DAY. We will gather at the corner of Elm and Glendale 2-3 p.m. to stand in witness for the sanctity of life. Also, 40
Days for Life runs until Nov. 3. Annunciation parishioners will join with members of Holy Redeemer Parish on Wednesday, Oct. 9, from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. to pray peacefully outside the Planned Parenthood clinic on Forest Park Ave. Please con-tact Mollie Lucchesi to sign up, [email protected].
The Annual Respect Life Convention will be held Sunday, Oct. 27, sponsored by the Respect Life Apostolate of the Archdio-cese. More information can be found at www.archstl.org/respectlife, and you can go to the Respect Life Convention tab on the webpage.
