Fr Jim’s Jottings
The Steeple Project is COMPLETE!
The new Copper Cross and Base were
put in place this past week. Deacon
Mark was courageous enough to go to
the top of the steeple and bless this
symbol of our faith.
This project has taken seven weeks. I
remember the first day when the crane
was extended as far as it could go.
One of the workers was standing on his
tip toes to lift the cross off of its base.
For a moment it looked like he was
slipping and all I could think of was an
impending disaster. However, he got it
up and over and on to his shoulder.
Whew!!! A prayer answered.
Then when the cross got down to the
ground and we inspected it, we
discovered a bullet hole. Of course, we
don’t know who, when, where, and why this bullet was shot through our
cross. (It will be one of the questions we can ask our Lord when we get
to heaven!) Compared to the beautiful copper cross that is now atop our
steeple, this old tin cross looks pathetic.
However, I have a few thoughts about the old cross. If it could speak
to us, it would have some great stories to tell. It has looked over
Appleton for more than a hundred years. It saw dirt roads become
concrete and small wooden buildings become large office complexes.
How many people did it see walking into our church to worship God? It
weathered some severe storms and continued to be a sign to the Fox
Valley of the faith and dedication of St Joseph parishioners. As we retire
this old tin cross, we offer a prayer of thanks for all that it represents in
our long history. Thanks be to God!
Festival Wrap-up Meeting
This Monday, October 13, there will be a wrap-up meeting of our Festival
Committee in Holly Hall at 6:30 p.m. If you’d like attend, please come
and join us in evaluating how it all went on the weekend of Sept. 13/14.

Pictorial Directory
Friends, thanks to those who have already
signed up to get their picture taken. This
Pictorial Directory will be a reflection of our
membership. The last one was done about
ten years ago. So, it’s time to do another one.
A Pictorial Directory can be a community
builder. It helps us know each other and
celebrates different committees and activities
in the parish.
Photos will be taken in November and
January in the hope that your college kids can
be around. We’d like to have everyone who is
a member of St Joe’s have their photo in our
book. If you have your photo taken, you get a
“free” copy of the Pictorial Directory and an 8
x 10 portrait.
You can make an appointment for your
photo in three different ways:
Through the parish website:
www.saintjosephparish.org. (The
only time the website is NOT available
is from noon on Friday till noon on
Monday. This allows us to schedule
those who sign up after Masses on
the weekend.)
After weekend Masses in the Great Hall
for the next four weeks.
Calling the parish office (734-7195).
If you make your appointment through our
website, you will receive a $10 discount for
any pictures you purchase.
Again, this is an important parish project. It
will be successful if everyone is willing to
make an effort to schedule an appointment.
Please encourage others to join in by your own
enthusiasm and support of this project.
Would you like your photo made into a
Christmas card or Gift? Have your picture
taken prior to November 25th for cards,,, and
December 10 for portraits.
NEW DATES are being added to our times.
Rosary During the Month of October
October has traditionally been the month of
the rosary. We will offer this prayer in honor
of the Blessed Mother a half hour before each
of our Masses (except Sunday 6:30 p.m.
Mass) during October. Can you make an
effort to join us in praying for the needs of our
world as we honor Mary?
Job Opening “Maintenance Person”
There is an immediate opening for a parttime maintenance person here at St Joe’s. It
would be 15-20 hours a week. The job
requires overall electrical, plumbing, heating
skills and an ability to do basic repairs of
equipment. If interested in applying, send a
resume or call the Parish Office (734-7195).

therefore, into the main

alike, and the hall was filled with guests."

“PAST PASTORS” of St Joe’s
Past Pastor # 14
Ludger Werth (1915-1918) was born in
Germany like all of the previous Capuchin
pastors. Ludger was a
man of indomitable
energy and driving will
power. Whatever he set his hand to, he
did with sweeping vigor. Wherever he
labored, he made hosts of friends.
Soon after his arrival, Fr. Ludger was
plunged into enlarging the friary. Altho
a new friary had been built in 1890, it
had become too small for the growing
religious community. The cost of
$11,440 was borne entirely by the friars with generous help
of a kindly donor, a simple working woman, who insisted her
name never be made known! [Does anyone know who she
is?????]
When the friary was just completed an unexpected
development regarding the hall was schemed by city hall.
Since the new YMCA building had been erected at this time,
its officials claimed tax exemption. City officials did not want
to lose this source of revenue and announced that
exemption could be claimed only on the grounds of
educational purposes. So they extended taxation to all
church recreational centers. As a result St Joseph’s hall was
assessed a tax. Since such taxes imposed a heavy burden
on the parish, an appeal was made to the state government.
A decision was handed down in Madison stating the
religious institutions must not be taxed. [Thanks be to God]
During the summer of 1917 attention was again called to
the cemetery when an appropriate stone arch was placed at
its entrance. Altho much attention was given to
landscaping the grounds, little had been done for such
monumental construction, save for the crucifix in the middle
of the cemetery. Laster much more was accomplished in
this regard, so that St. Joseph’s Cemetery became one of
the most beautiful cemeteries in the state!
