Dynamic Catholic, Alive! – Repentance Repentance means more than merely saying “I’m sorry” for something you’ve done wrong. Saying “I’m sorry” and meaning it is, of course, an important step. But real “contrition” is about doing something that will make amends for the consequences of the wrong itself. Once we’re sorry for our sin, we have to resolve not to repeat the wrong and resolve to repair the wrong as much as is possible. Think about whether you might still need to make amends for something—then go do it! (CCC 1451-1454) archstl.org/dynamic

WORD OF LIFE: “The dying process is a sacred time—a final season to seek closure in this life and prepare for the next in the hope of sharing in Christ’s Resurrection.” — “Caring for Loved One’s at Life’s End,” www.goo.gl/fvSEYp USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities

“We’re Married, but out of the Church.” Is there something that can be done? Why is it important to have our marriage blessed in the Catholic Church? It is never too late to look into having your marriage blessed in the Church. It’s as simple as calling Fr. Tony Dattilo at the rectory (573-438-6181). Fr. Tony will set up an appointment with you to sit down and talk it over. If you’ve never tried before, or if you tried and it didn’t seem to go anywhere, why not try now?! It may be easier than you think!

“Your Future Begins With Us” News from St. Joachim School

Mission Statement The mission of St. Joachim Catholic School is to assist the parents and parish community in the shared responsibility of providing an excellent religious and academic education that is Alive in Christ for the children of Washington County. Greetings this beautiful Fall. So many activities have happened at St. Joachim's. One of our biggest is a fund raiser sale of breads, cookie dough, and pizzas. Any student that sold items for the fund raiser was awarded a free uniform pass. Students that sold 10 or more items put their name in a drawing eligible for one of three Walmart gift cards. Tyrese, Rylee W. and Rylee M. were winners. Our school sold $5,850.00 in sales with a profit of $2,326.80. The fund raiser has increased in profit from last year. Thank you to all that purchased items and the delivery date is scheduled for Oct. 26th. Great Success!

Religious Education News

Serve Him with Joy and Gladness RCIA and Adult Faith Formation. If interested in becoming Catholic, being fully received into Catholic Church, receiving sacrament of Confirmation call Joyce Politte, 573-438-3213 or 636-328-1343. Come and See. Sessions meet on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8 p.m. in the lower room of the Incarnate Word building. Mission Feedback. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Mission goals were achieved. Parishioners were revived in spirit, given strength for the journey and were motivated to go out, invite, and tell others about Jesus. Some who have been away, came back. Parishioners are telling how they enjoyed Father Pete and spending time together afterwards. Most nights it was 8:30-9:00 before everyone left the cafeteria. Wasn’t it awesome? Rather than let this be a onetime event, how do we keep this spirit alive? Some suggested goals that came from parishioners: 1) To continue to extend hospitality and celebrate sacraments and special occasions 2) To continue to evangelize. 3) To continue to feed our spiritual hunger and foster our relationship with the Lord. How do we do this? Form an Activity Committee, Recruit Greeters, Monthly Coffee and Doughnuts after Masses, Schedule Days of Recollection, Special Celebrations (E.g. Celebrate Marriages of 5, 10, 15, 20 years), Celebrations after Sacraments, Phone contact with those who have returned, and Continue home visits. To accomplish the goals, the help of Everyone is needed. If you would like to be a greeter or a part of an activities’ committee, call the rectory or drop a note in the collection basket.

THIS WEEK’S READINGS: In our Gospel today, Jesus describes two men who went to the temple to pray, but only one comes away justified. The book of Sirach tells us that the one who serves God willingly is heard. As we hear and pray about these scriptures today, let us listen for clues about the kind of prayer our loving God wishes to hear from us.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How can I become a joyful “welcomer” this last month of the Jubilee Year of Mercy to friends who have not yet found their joy in confidently trusting God’s loving mercy?
