A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeWeekend of September 8/9,
2018
St. James teaches that those who are perceived to be poor in the
eyes of society are the ones who have been chosen to inherit the
Kingdom of God. Indeed, we are saved because of our poverty and
redeemed out of our need, not because of our material wealth or
achievements that the world finds praiseworthy. St. James also
suggests that we are stewards of others, especially the poor and it
is how we respond to the poor and needy that will define our
relationship with the Lord. Can you identify the poverty, whether
spiritual or material, that is in your own life? How can that
“poverty” be redeemed? As stewards of others, how do we respond to
the poverty that exists right in our own parish?
Papal Intention - September 2018Universal – Young People in

“Shoes for Children”“Shoes for Children” is a local program with
the soul purpose of providing shoes for the children
of the Thompson Falls Elementary School, identified by, and
known only to the school, as being in need. Last year, due to the
generosity of the Churches, and their Congregations, as well as the
Frisbee-Morbella Foundation, the program provided 68 elementary
children in need, with a new pair of Sketchers shoes. The program
committee would like to continue this worthwhile service for our
children in need. If you would like to make a donation this year, a
“Shoes for Children” account has been set up at First Security Bank
or you can put a check in an envelope with “Shoes for Children” on
the front, and drop it in our collection basket.
Please, can you help?You may have noticed that Sue Farrington is
back with us this summer. She and her husband will again be
traveling to the small fishing village of Ejido
San Lucas, Mexico so Sue is busy gathering donations for her
mission work with the village children in need. The items on the
wish list this year include children’s white polo shirts, peanut
butter, tooth brushes & tooth paste, crayons, children’s socks
& underwear, bandaides & antiseptic cream, ball point pens,
flip flops, pencil sharpeners (desktop model for classrooms), and
stickers. These items can be given directly to Sue or dropped off
in the office at St. William. If you would like to donate money and
would like your donation on your yearly collection statement, place
your donation in an envelope marked Mexico and drop it in the
collection basket or bring it to the office (please include your
name if you are giving a cash donation). This year there is only
one boy, Albierto, attending high school, in need of a scholarship.
It costs approximately $600 a year for a student to attend high
school. Many high school age children are simply unable to go to
school or drop out, due to the cost. Sue will also use cash
donation for any medical emergencies in the village. As in the
past, Sue will have items to sell at our cake & coffee hour
this weekend. All the proceeds will go to her mission work with the
village children.
Donations may be given any time through Sunday, September
16th.
The Knights of Columbus want to thank everyone who helped with
the Sanders County Fair Bingo Booth. Everything went well and would
not have been possible without all the volunteer help. The money
raised will be used for the charitable works of the Knights of
Columbus.Thanks also to all those who played bingo during the
fair!
God bless you all!
