It presents the image of the messianic banquet, a time of abundance and grace from God. Jesus too presents a banquet story, but his parable introduces a qualification at the end. Consider that we are among the guests recruited from the main roads, “bad and good alike.” We are still expected to prepare ourselves. How are you preparing yourself for the heavenly banquet? Knights of Columbus monthly meeting is Monday October 13 at 7:00 p.m. at Saints Andrew–Thomas School.

May the dear Lord bless them with many happy years together. Messages from Father Dick In an attempt to see if we can help lessen the parish heating bills at least a little bit this winter we will not use both churches on alternate weeks for daily masses. Instead all the daily masses from November through the end of March will be held at Saint Andrew Church or at Saints AndrewThomas School. Both churches will be used for weekend masses as usual! Saint Andrew Cemetery The old archway at the cemetery was recently removed because it was no longer structurally safe. We were able to salvage the angels and the marble markers and we will see if they can be repaired or used in another project somewhere. A stone wall will be built across the old entrance way to match up with the wall that is presently there. A special thanks to the Diocese of Madison (Apostolate to the Handicapped) for giving Saints Andrew–Thomas Parish a grant in the amount of $12,809.22 to be used for the installation of an Automatic Door Operation at Saint Andrew Church. This is the entire cost of the installation and will be of great benefit to those who use wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc. and those who are just beginning to find the doors a little heavy to open easily anymore. Work on the installation of the necessary wiring, etc. should begin soon. Davies Memorial (UCC) Chicken and Biscuit and Ham Dinner Sunday, October 12; 3 to 7 p.m. Adults $8; Children (5-10) $5; 4 and under Free. Holy Ghost CCW Dickeyville, Fall Supper Wednesday, October 15 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Adults/Senior Citizens $7; Grades K-8 $4. Potosi-Tennyson Lions Club Garage/Brat Sale Friday October 17; 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday October 18; 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you have items to donate call Cory Leibfried at 763-2888. Catholic Financial Life 17th Annual Make a Difference Day is Saturday October 18; 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Lancaster Middle School cafeteria.
