To all our visitors…
Bishop John R. Gaydos, the clergy and the faithful of the Diocese of Jefferson City welcome you and hope that your time in
our Mother Church may be an opportunity to share our faith
and joy in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our parish was formed in 1959 and was elevated to the title of
Cathedral in 1968 and dedicated in 1974. Please enjoy the beauty of this spacious building dedicated to the Glory of God and
the memory of Saint Joseph, the Husband of Mary. It was built
for the inspiration of all who enter. Free tour booklets are available.
All visitors who are not of the Roman Catholic faith are most
welcome to join us in prayer and worship, but not to receive Holy Communion. Reception of Holy Communion is a sign of full
unity and membership in the Catholic community. Together let
us all pray for the unity of all believers.
If you desire to become a member of the Roman Catholic
Church or to become a member of the Cathedral Parish, please
call the parish office at 573-635-7991.
All contributions to the Cathedral ministries and maintenance
are sincerely appreciated. Please remember this Cathedral parish
in your Last Will and Testament to support our parish’s ongoing
mission.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
2014 CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
Our only parish fundraiser will be held Sunday, November 9
from Noon until 6:00 p.m. in the undercroft. This annual turkey dinner, which was greatly improved last year, gives everyone a chance to eat like a champion! Our goal this year with the
Bazaar and Grand Raffle is to fund the following three projects.
WELCOME to all who gather in our Cathedral Church for the
Twenty-Ninth Sunday of Ordinary Time and World Mission
Sunday.
WEEK OF PRAYER: We ask each member of our Cathedral
parish to pray for the members of one of the parishes or missions in our diocese this week. As a Cathedral Church, all our
parishes are linked to us and we wish to deepen the spiritual
bond with them. Therefore, we will pray this week for St.
Aloysius, Baring.



CONGRATULATIONS to Thomas Packard and Aimee
Lehmuth, who were married in the Cathedral last weekend.
For those who are looking ahead, our goal for 2015 will be the
replacement of the original windows of the Parish Office.
FROM DEATH TO NEW LIFE-The Cathedral Parish Family
extends its sympathy and prayers to the families of David Watson, father of Dean Watson and Jim Kleffner, father of Lisa
Johnson. May they have eternal rest in their heavenly home and
may the Lord give comfort and peace to their loved ones who
mourn their loss.
The following items were sponsored by the Parish Association
last year: Farewell receptions for the Carmelite Nuns as well as
for Mr. Carl Gales. Purchase of six silver Communion cups and
10 Communion pyxes for the sick and homebound. City food
inspection and deep cleaning of our commercial kitchen in the
undercroft. Three annual scholarships to Helias Catholic High
School in memory of Jim Weber, Bishop Marling and Bishop
McAuliffe. Our new six car concrete parking lot next to the
Parish Office, opening the spaces for parishioners. Holy cards
for Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II.
NO FLYERS-are ever to be put on vehicles in our parking
lot. If a flyer is acceptable for church distribution, we will put
it in our bulletin with the Pastors approval. NO POLITICAL FLYERS OR HAND OUT ITEMS WITH POLITICAL NAMES can be given out on parish ground at anytime.
We risk losing our IRS Income Tax Status.
Volunteer to help! Kitchen and dining room help are especially needed. Sign up sheets are at the back of the Cathedral and at the Parish Office!
SCRIP may be purchased at the school during regular hours.
Please support our school!

the Cathedral at all Masses on October 25/26, and quilt raffle
tickets will be available.
CARMELITE BUS TOUR PROJECT
We regret to announce that we were unable to meet the minimum requirement of people in order to take the pilgrimage to
Clyde. We had 20 sign up and needed 40 for a 50 seat bus. We
will try this effort again in mid-May.

held at the Christmas Bazaar on November 9. First
prize is $5,000.00 second prize $500.00. If you

amounts to $5,920.00!
MEN’S WINTER COAT DONATION
The Cathedral Knights of Columbus and Ladies Auxiliary will
be collecting men’s winter coats next weekend for inmates who
have been released from prison and returning home by train.
During the cold winter months they arrive at the station without a coat. Please check your closets for men’s coats you no
longer use that are in good condition. A box will be provided at
the entrance of the Cathedral next weekend for your donations.

RESURRECTION CEMETERY

graves will be prosecuted. NOTE: Saddles and flowers in permanent vases that are a part of the monument will not be removed. The next clean-up date will be January 26, 2015. Please
mark these on your calendar.
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s Gospel we hear proclaimed a profound teaching by
Jesus on stewardship. What belongs to Caesar? What belongs
to God? Christian stewards recognize that everything they have
belongs to God. God created them, and God has claims on every
part of their existence. They also realize that the sov-ereign is
an institution whose nature and purpose is to promote the common good and protect the welfare of its citizenry. As long as it
accomplishes this mission while treating every single person
with deep respect, justice and compassion, it merits the steward’s support and cooperation. Christian stewards know what
belongs to the Lord, and they are better citizens when they live
their lives according to His Gospel.
