Congratulations to Harlie Dunken, daughter of Sarah

Mengwasser and Aleksander Rowinski, Paige Loethen, daughter

of Neil and Heather Loethen, Kenzie Jurd, daughter of Chris and

Jessica Jurd and Albert Haslag son of Clayton and Genna

Haslag. These students are St. George School’s Warriors of the

month. They went above and beyond our mission of being Christ-

centered and Faith directed in all that they do.

This past week students participated in Adoration and

Benediction of the Holy Eucharist. Exposition and benediction of

the Blessed Sacrament is not only a very old devotion in our

Church, but one that highlights the fundamental mystery of the

Holy Eucharist that our Lord is truly present, body and blood, soul

and divinity, in the Blessed Sacrament.

DECREE FROM BISHOP MCKNIGHT

On August 21, 2020, Bishop McKnight provided an

updated Decree on pastoral activities during the COVID-19

pandemic. You can see the full decree on the diocesan

website or the St. George Facebook page. The dispensation

from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days

of obligation is extended until November 27, 2020 provided

they prayerfully participate in the Sunday or Holy Day Mass

livestreamed from their parish, the Cathedral, the Vatican, or

any Mass of the day celebrated in communion with the

Roman Catholic Church, or they prayerfully read and

meditate on the readings of the Mass for the Sunday or holy

day and recite the Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Other changes from the previous decree include: The use

of face masks upon entering the church, during the

celebration of Mass except when in place in the pew,

during the Communion procession, and upon leaving the

church is required. If social distancing cannot be

maintained in the pew, then the wearing of face masks is

obligatory even in the pew. Those who persist in their desire

to receive Holy Communion on the tongue may do so, but

only after those who receive Holy Communion in the hand.

Communion ministers must purify and then sanitize their

fingers after distributing Holy Communion on the tongue to

each household. All public health recommendations of state

authorities should be followed whenever possible, especially

with regard to singing in church, according to the judgment of

the pastor, parochial administrator, president, or principal.

The new decree is effective September 12 – November 27.

ST. GEORGE FALL FESTIVAL

We will be hosting a modified version of our Fall Festival

this year on Sunday, October 4. We will include a drive-

through dinner available 11am – 7pm of fried chicken and

German pot roast. The meal will not include desserts or

homemade bread so those donations from each family will

not be needed. We will have a cash raffle, the quilt auction,

and the beer garden/soda stand. There will be no kids

games, Bingo, country store, or sandwich stand, but many of

those workers will be needed in other areas. This event will

require many hands to keep things running smoothly. We

appreciate the support of all the parishioners to help make

this event a success. If you have questions on the work list,

you can contact the parish office.

FALL FESTIVAL AUCTION

Due to all the necessary changes to our Fall Festival, this

year we will begin our auction online via the St. George

Catholic Church Facebook page located at

www.facebook.com/stgeorgeparishlinn. Bidding will begin

during the last half of September, so if you have any items to

donate for inclusion in the auction, they must be turned in

the parish office by Friday, September 11. If you have any

questions, you can contact the quilt auction chairs Laura

Bittle or Edna Kliethermes.

HONOR PATH WAY

Remembering the Past and Honoring the Present engraved

memorial bricks are available for purchase. Engraved bricks

will be located at the corner of 12th and Adams Street at the

VFW & Auxiliary Hall. 4”x8” bricks are $100 and 8”x8”

bricks are $200. For details or to purchase a brick, please

contact Valora at 573-897-2403.

LIFE OF A SAINT- ST. CLOUD

On the death of Clovis, King of the Franks, in the year 511

his kingdom was divided between his four sons, of whom the

second was Clodomir. Thirteen years later he was killed

fighting against his cousin, Gondomar, leaving three sons to

share his dominions. The youngest of these sons of Clodomir

was St. Clodoald, a name more familiar to English people

under its French form of Cloud from the town of Saint-

Cloud near Versailles. When Cloud was eight years old, his

uncle Childebert plotted with his brother, to get rid of the

boys and divide their kingdom. The eldest boy, Theodoald

was stabbed to death. The second, Gunther fled in terror, but

was caught and also killed. Cloud escaped and was taken for

safety into Provence or elsewhere. Childebert and his brother

Clotaire shared the fruits of their crime, and Cloud made no

attempt to recover his kingdom when he came of age. He put

himself under the discipline of St. Severinus, a recluse who

lived near Paris, and he afterwards went to Nogent on the

Seine and had his heritage where is now Saint-Cloud. St.

Cloud was indefatigable in instructing the people of the

neighboring country, and ended his days at Nogent about the

year 560 when he was some thirty-six years old. St.

Cloud's feast day is September 7th.
