Dear Friends,

“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than

for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” MARK 10:25. Jesus uses tough language that we may not want to hear.

But, we are all called to be generous with all our gifts. Not just

the ones we pick and choose, but all our gifts: our time in prayer

to God, our talent in participating in parish ministries and our

treasure supporting our local parish and other charities.

This weekend after all of the Masses we will have had a brief

meeting for all Lectors – new and experienced. If you missed

the meeting and would like to be a Lector at Mass please e-mail

or text to me your name, address, best phone number, e-mail,

and Mass preference. Then, in a few weeks, we will compile a

complete list of Lectors and send it out. There is also some lit-

Saint Aloysius Catholic Church A Discipleship Parish

erature that I’d like to talk with you about. Reading the Scrip-

tures at Eucharist is a great way to put into action your call to

Christian Discipleship.

Please don’t forget that on October 19, beginning at 5:00pm

there will be the St. Aloysius Celebrity Bartender Night at the

Stadium Sports Bar. This will be a great opportunity to share

fellowship with friends and family from the parish in an adult

environment. The night promises good food, creative cocktails,

and the friendly smiles of St. Al’s celebrities – an excellent St.

Al’s event. See you there!

One of the best ways to start your day is by celebrating Holy

life: life in Christ. Being fortified with the Eucharist, our day is

come together at 6:20am in our church to pray together and lift

up our hearts to the Lord. Won’t you join us for daily Eucha-

rist? All are welcome!

Principal’s Page Mr. Rich Harkins

Thanks to everyone who helped with the Catholic Charities Food drive. St. Aloysius

brought in over 4700 pounds of food this last month. It was the most actual food weight

per student of any school in the drive. Congratulations to Elly Wagner for getting her

name drawn to throw a pie in my face. You can catch the video on the school Facebook

page.

Thanks to all those who came to the 8th grade car wash last Sunday. They will be doing

some other fund-raisers through the year to help raise funds to attend the Right to Life in

Chicago.

Congratulations to our September Charger of the Month, Alex B. from 8th grade. To

qualify for this award, students must have all A's and B's in their classes, no late or miss-

ing work, up-to-date service hours, and a positive Christian attitude.

You are invited to St. Al's first Celebrity Bartending Event! Battle of the Bartend-

ers! Friday, October 19, 5:00-8:00pm at The Stadium Bar & Grill. Watch as the house

bartenders and celebrity bartenders compete in a friendly competition. Fastest drink mixer,

best bar tending trick, best original drink and best costume! Our featured guest bartenders

include: 5:00-6:00pm...Frank Lesko and Marianne Stremsterfer, 6:00-7:00pm...Misty

Buscher and Kelly Stotlar, 7:00-8:00pm...Ray Herigodt and Scott Dickerson. The Stadium

Bar & Grill will donate 30% of all food and alcohol sales from 5:00pm-close.

The Environmental Club would like to invite you to help us make a difference. We are

participating in the Ronald McDonald House Charities pop tab challenge. It is easy to

help! Just save your pop tabs and send them in to school. We will do the rest. Have grand-

parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, and friends join in by saving their pop tabs for

you. Together we can make a difference!

Our weekly Saturday bingo at Caritas Hall supports our school budget. It takes a lot

of volunteers throughout the year. This is also a great opportunity to earn service hours. It

is especially important that ALL our school families step up to work some of these weekly

sessions. These monies benefit the school by keeping our tuition costs down. Many thanks

for your cooperation and participation, and thank you to these volunteers the last weeks…

Wanless, and Ed Strode. If you would like to help please contact Michelle Hagele @217-

Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time – 14 October

2018 -The REAL prosperity Gospel. Don’t we like to think that

wealth solves our problems? Don’t we wish, at least from time

to time, to win the lottery, to have wealth, to have “more than

enough”? Yet Jesus says to the man of many possessions: give

it to the poor so you can thread the needle into the Kingdom of

God. Whew! Not what we want to hear. Not what some of us

believe. The real prosperity Gospel is having “just enough”.

The real prosperity Gospel is seeing that no one goes with-

out.

What mercy work will I do today? *How can I care for

those poorer than me?

What will I share, divest, give away this week?

Forty Days of Life…. September 26 - November 4, 2018...

For too long abortion has been legal. For too long Christians

have been silent. Please pray for those who cannot defend

themselves.

Google Translate

You see it all over social media. Google Translate gets used to

translate some familiar lines from English into another lan-

guage. Spanish, French, Tagalog, Hindi, pick one.

Then used again to translate it back into English. And what

comes out is very different.

The syntax is off. Phrases are out of order. Familiar words re-

placed by new ones. Maybe there’s some unintentional humor.

Usually it just sounds odd.

I bring this up, because if we’re used to the classic version of

the Our Father that we pray at Mass, the NABRE version of the

Our Father (in St. Luke’s Gospel) can sound like this is what

someone did to the Lord’s Prayer.

Father, hallowed be your name,

your Kingdom come.

Give us each day our daily bread

and forgive us our sins

for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,

and do not subject us to the final test.

So what do we do with something like this, something that

sounds so odd?

We can reject it.

It lacks the charm of familiar things.

We can let it pass by.

It has no rhythm to help it stay with us.

Or we can take a moment to think about what it’s saying. To

let its very oddness unpack the Our Father for us.

Until its irregular lines and strange phrases crack the shell of

familiarity. Renewing the prayer taught by Jesus.

So that the version we all know by heart can be again the

source of grace that Our Lord meant it to be.

-Deacon Jim

St. Aloysius Catholic Church: A Discipleship Parish

Parish Bulletin Board

The Annual Catholic Services Appeal has begun! The programs, services and minis-

tries supported by the Annual Catholic Services Appeal meet the larger di-

ocesan needs of Catholics and others in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.

The theme this year for the Annual Catholic Services Appeal is “IN GRATI-TUDE FOR GOD’S ABUNDANT BLESSINGS”. A letter was sent to each

Catholic household in the diocese asking for your support. The diocese serves each of us

and our financial support is needed to continue God’s work in the diocese.

Boiler update….We have collected $84,326.06 (October 10, 2018) towards this project.

Asbestos removal has been completed. Henson Robinson Company was the low bidder

on the new boiler, they have begun taking out the old this week. The new boiler is ex-

pected to arrive in early November and be installed and working before Thanksgiving. If

we can collect the additional $45,000 to reach our goal by the end of November, we can

avoid having to ask the Diocese for a loan. If you haven’t contributed yet, please help St.

Al’s raise the needed funds for this new boiler. If you have already contributed, again

thank you, and please consider making an additional contribution.

October is the month of the rosary....During this month of October, pray and medi-

tate on the mysteries of the rosary. Let the faith and love of Mary inspire you for times of

trial. She will point you to Christ. Pray that God’s people will not abandon the faith in the

face of difficult times. Pray they may receive the grace to stand at the cross and to re-

member…true promises are indeed hard to keep.

RCIA meets every Wednesday at the parish house. You can contact the parish office (544

-4544) to obtain more information. Now is the time to talk to that friend or

family member and invite them to RCIA. Your word or deed can make a

difference. The RCIA Schedule includes: October 17, 7:00pm Jesus of

Nazareth/Jesus the Christ, with Greg Stumpf. October 24, 7:00pm Church

History, Ernie Waite. October 31, 7:00pm , No Session, November 1, All Saints Day,

Mass at 6:20 and 8:20am, November 7, 7:00pm, Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven,

Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo , Harvey Schrenk. November 14, 7:00pm, Mary and the

Saints, Mary Jane Stahr.

The MINI-MEGA RAFFLE kicks off next week! The raffle tickets are a major fundrais-

ing undertaking for the school and parish and we are asking you to make every effort to

sell these, not just to people in the parish, but to anyone you happen to know. As we have

stated many times, tuition only covers half of the cost to educate one child, and this is a

new initiative to help us meet those costs of education. Tickets will be sold for $20, with

a payout of $5,000.00 on Thursday, December 20. Two Early Bird awards of $100 will be

Sunday, November 4, and Thursday, December 6. Tickets will also be available at the

parish and school office beginning the week of October 22. A special thanks to Staab

Funeral home and O’Connor Mailing for sponsoring this event and tickets printed cour-

tesy of HSHS-Hospital Sisters Health Systems.
