“Promoting Vocations”

Today marks the beginning of National Vocations Awareness Week (November 4-10). We certainly need to do all we can to promote vocations in the Church. The age of priests and religious is increasing every year, and we are on the edge of a seri-ous crisis if we don’t turn it around. Archbishop Carlson remarked recently that there are 100 fewer priests in the Archdiocese than when he arrived. That says a lot. While the Archdiocese of Saint Louis is still better off than most dioceses in the U.S., we are still facing a shortage.

It wasn’t always that way. Our older folks will remember when it was a great honor when a son decided to go to the sem-

inary, or a son or daughter decided to enter religious life. It was a sacrifice, to be sure—children who entered religious life were limited on how often they could come home—and yet it was a blessing to have a child who chose to serve God. Up until the mid-1960s the seminaries, convents, and monasteries were full, and new ones were being built. No one was aware the bottom was about to fall out.

Some people blame the reforms of the Second Vatican Council for the vocations shortage that began in the late 1960s.

While the identity crisis among priests and religious contributed to the shortage, it wasn’t the cause. Our society from the late 1960s on changed dramatically. A culture developed that was suspicious of the establishment and defined personal freedom as the freedom to do whatever one wants, as long as nobody gets hurt. The idea of dying to self in order to follow Christ was no longer valued, and even within Church circles, there were priests and religious who rejected the concept of self-denial. It is no surprise that vocations suffered in such a climate. Protestant churches also went into steep decline, a decline far more severe than what we see in the Catholic Church. Some Protestant churches now average 50 people on a weekend.

To turn the vocation shortage around will be difficult, but it is not impossible. There are dioceses and religious communi-

ties in the United States that have maintained a high number of religious vocations. They tend to be the ones who have maintained a strong identity of what it means to be a priest, sister, brother, or deacon. They emphasize that entering priesthood or religious life is a very real sacrifice, a death to self in order to serve Christ with an undivided heart. And once the person enters, there is a stripping away of self-centeredness, narcissism, and all of the lies our culture tells us of what we need in order to be “fully real-ized.”

That sounds harsh, but in fact, it is very freeing. In fact, some of the most joyful, free people I have ever met are priests

and religious living the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They are gifted people who are able to be fully present to others. They love Christ and inspire others to love Him as well. They are happy.

In my seminary work I have learned that most young people who enter the priesthood or religious life first began to con-

sider it because they were encouraged to do so by others. We should never underestimate the power of invitation. To give semi-nary or to begin the process of formation with a religious order is not a lifetime commitment. Many enter for a period of discern-ment and then discover it is not for them. That is never seen as failure…most of those individuals go on to be wonderful members of the Church, and they usually come away with a deeper sense of their own giftedness.

If you know a young—or not so young—person that you think would make a good priest or religious, please don’t hesi-

tate to mention it to them. They may appear to brush it off, but a seed has been planted and you would be surprised at how much they later reflect on it. And let us pray for vocations, so that we always have enough priests and religious to serve Christ and His Church!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

In the United States today, numerous Catho-lic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests past age 70 benefit from the Retire-ment Fund for Religious collection. Dona-tions to this special collection provide fund-ing that helps religious communities care for senior members and plan for long-term retire-ment needs. On the weekend of November 4, all parishes in the Archdiocese of St. Louis will take up the annual collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious, an opportunity for you to acknowledge the thousands of senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests for their faithful service. Whether or not we realize it, we are all beneficiaries of the tremendous contributions these women and men have made to the Church in the United States. Through hard work, prayer, and sacrifice, they built Catholic schools and hospitals, initiat-ed programs to promote social justice, and ministered to the neediest among us. Today, many religious communities strug-gle to care for their elderly members. Elder sisters, brothers, and religious order priests dedicated their lives to service and prayer, and some lack adequate retirement savings. Increasing health-care costs and decreased income make it difficult to provide necessary medical care, costly medications and basic services. Please consider making a financial gift to assist with the care of our senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. Many thanks for considering this request.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson Archbishop of St. Louis

Today is St. Vincent de Paul Sunday! What is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international Catholic lay organization dedicated to providing help to those in need. There is a team of SVdP volunteers right here in our parish. We assist families who live within our parish boundaries regardless of religion or church affilia-tion. We assist in a variety of ways including rent, utili-ties, clothing and food, prescription drugs, vehicle repairs and more. Thanks for your support! Because of your generous support, during the months of August through October, our IC St. Vincent de Paul group was able to help more than 160 families, paying approxi-mately $14,268 for rent, utilities, and other expenses. Our SVdP Friends of the Poor Walk on 9/28 raised $1978 in donations with 16 walkers participating – our best walk yet! Thanks again to our corporate sponsors and individu-al donors. Also, special thanks to IC parishioners Sandy and Paul Bleem who organized a recycling event on 10/28 with proceeds benefitting to our SVdP group. How can you help?

Pray for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul members and our Neighbors in Need.

Donate money to the SVdP fund. Drop money in the collection basket or sign up for regular donations using On-line Giving. Your help can make a life-changing difference for someone who needs your help.

Donate items to SVdP Thrift Stores. Drop off cloth-ing, furniture or household goods at the thrift stores or call 314 881-6006 to schedule pick up.

Shop at one of our nine St. Vincent de Paul Thrift stores. The closest stores to this parish are located at 3924 Lemay Ferry Rd in S. County or 625 Gra-vois Rd in Fenton.

Join our team of volunteers right here in our parish. You’ll make friends, grow spiritually and do in-credible things. Our next meeting is Saturday, Nov. 17, 9:30 a.m. in Room D. For more information, call Mary Stamm at 314 560-6497 or email [email protected].

WE NEED NEW MEMBERS!! Two of our seven mem-bers are in their mid-80s. One has trouble walking and one has bad eyesight, but they both are still active. You can do it! You can listen to messages and return calls on our helpline. You can go on home visits with us. You can participate in fundraisers. We will teach you everything you need to know. Our next meeting is Saturday, Novem-ber 17, 9:30 a.m. in Room D. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25: “Whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did it for me.” Thank you!

THANKSGIVING MEALS FOR THE NEEDY

Once again we will be working with the Arnold Rotary and area churches to help provide free meals to the needy and the home bound within the Fox C-6 & Windsor C-1 school district boundaries. Help is needed in several areas. Meals are being prepared at First Bap st Arnold Family Life Center. I am hoping our parish can assist with providing 20 drivers to deliv-er meals Thursday morning. There will a group delivering at 9AM and 9:30AM. Sixty pies are being requested. They must be non-refrigerated varie es and delivered Wednesday, No-vember 21st between 4-6PM to the Family Life Center. Kitchen help is also needed for prep on Wednesday, November 21st, between 4-6PM and on Thursday morning between 5-9AM. We are always grateful for the gi s we have been given and this will be a wonderful opportunity to share our gi s with those in our area who are not as fortunate. If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact Cindy Ziegler 314-603-4441. Thank you!


Immaculate Conception School of Religion

In today's Gospel, Jesus told the scribe "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. " As a family, let us consider whether we have put any other gods before the one true God-what peo-ple, things, attitudes and behavior are getting in the way of our relationship with God? What do we need to do in order to truly love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength? Have a Blessed Week!

Fall Produce Picks to Add to Your Plate (This information is provided by Food Service Consultants) The sun is setting sooner, the nights are getting colder and the wool socks are starting to sound like a cozy idea. This is the perfect time to celebrate the seasonal gems of autumn! Head to your local produce market and fill your basket with those fall produce picks.

Pumpkin Fall is the season for winter squash — satisfying, hearty vegetables perfect for a cool night. While butternut squash is a go-to winter veg-etable, pumpkin is another delicious squash, even after Halloween! Pumpkin is full of fiber and vitamin A, which is great for your skin and eyes. Balance pumpkin's sweetness with savory herbs, such as sage and curry. Dishes such as pumpkin curry soups are the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Use coconut oil and coconut milk instead of butter and cream to switch up the flavor profile. Turmeric is cur-ry's base, so you get great anti-inflammatory benefits with each bite. Beets Beets are edible from their leafy greens down to the bulbous root. The leaves are similar to spinach and are delicious sautéed. The grocery store most likely will carry red beets, your local farmers market may have more interesting varieties, such as golden or bull's blood, which has a bullseye pattern of rings. The red color in beets is caused by a phytochemical called betanin, making beet juice a natural alternative to red food coloring. Beets are rich in naturally occurring nitrates and may help to support healthy blood pressure. Roasting or steaming beets whole takes the fuss out of peeling — the skin easily slides off after cooking. They also are delicious raw, shredded and tossed in salads or thinly sliced and baked into chips. Sweet Potato Sweet potatoes charge ahead of white potatoes in terms of fiber and vitamin A. Sweet potatoes can make a great breakfast side dish. Cube left-over baked potato and sprinkle them with cumin and coriander. Toast them in the oven until golden and serve them with poached eggs and sliced avocado. Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti squash is a fun, kid-friendly vegetable that is a lower-calorie and gluten-free alternative to grain-based pasta. Cut it in half to reveal a pocket of seeds, scoop those out and pop the two halves into the microwave or oven and cook until tender. Scrape a fork into the flesh and spaghetti-like strands appear! Voilà! Toss with pesto or marinara sauce for a quick veggie side dish. Kale Kale is a current media darling -- from food writers to restaurant chefs, and farmers markets to school cafeterias — we can't get enough of this luscious leafy green and with good reason. Kale is a nutrient powerhouse. It tastes sweeter after a frost and can survive a snow-storm. If you plant kale in your garden, you can dig it out of the snow and serve fresh salad in January! One cup of raw kale has only 8 calo-ries and is loaded with vitamins A, C and K as well as manganese. Kale is great sautéed and cooked in soup, but also is excellent raw in salad; simply remove tough stems, slice into thin slivers and pair with something a bit sweet such as carrots or apples. One advantage of using kale for your leafy greens is that you can add your dressing ahead of time; the kale becomes more tender and delicious, not wilted. Pears When we can buy fruits year-round, we tend to forget they do have a season. However, pears are the most delicious in the fall when they're at their peak. Pears are unique in that they do not ripen on the tree; they will ripen at room temperature after they're picked. How do you know when they are ready to eat? Check the neck! If the fruit near the stem gives to a little pressure, it is ripe. There are a wide range of pear flavors and textures. And, just like apples, some are excellent eaten fresh while others are best cooked or canned for the winter. Try pears on the grill, tucked into a panini, pureed into soup or a smoothie, or simply sliced with cheese. If you eat the peel too, one medium pear has 6 grams of fiber - that's 20 percent of the daily recommendation! Okra Okra commonly is fried, but also is wonderful in more nutritious dishes. Around the world, chefs cherish the thickening properties of the seed pods in dishes from Louisiana gumbo to Indian curries and other stews. If you wish to minimize the thickening property, try okra briefly stir-fried. The pods are high in vitamins K and C, a good source of fiber and folate and low in calories. At the market, look for pods that are no longer than 4 inches and are bright green in color and firm to the touch.
