Dear Parish Family
The Sacrament of Confirmation. This weekend we will hear about
this Sacrament that gives us the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. What
are the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Fortitude, Counsel, Reverence, and Fear of the Lord
This Sacrament deepens our baptismal call and sends us out as missionaries into our neighborhoods, schools, homes,
stores to bring the presence of Christ into those places by our presence.
Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation. So that when a person has received Baptism, Eucharist, and
Confirmation – they are fully initiated into the Catholic Church. So much of the time it is mistaken for “graduation” in
that people think they are done with learning their faith.
The age of Confirmation is officially the “age of reason”. This is normally thought to be age 7. Dioceses in the United
States celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation between age 7 and age 16. Each Bishop decides at what age the Sacrament should be celebrated.
If you have been confirmed….are you using your gifts of the Holy Spirit?
BE BOLD…..BE CATHOLIC®
Have a good week,
THE WEEK AHEAD….

PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
DEACON CORBY’S CORNER
LEARN TO LOVE YOUR WORK
by Howard E. Butt, Jr.
There's an old story about two families moving to Plainsville
on the same day. Both families met with a real estate agent who
knew properties and people.
The father of the first family asked the agent what the town was
like. The agent said, "What kind of town did you come from?"
The father replied, "Lousy place. We couldn't wait to leave."
The agent said, "Plainsville is much the same."
The father of the second family said, "We loved our last home
and we hated to leave." The agent said," You're gonna love
Plainsville, and you'll hate to leave it, too."
The Talmud has a saying: "We see the world not as it is, but as
we are.
What is your view of the world...of your job?
Have a great week,
Deacon Corby <><
PARISH CHRISTMAS POTLUCK/SOCIAL

bikes that your family has outgrown to someone in need. We
only ask that the bikes be in good condition or in need of minor
repairs only. If you have a bicycle to donate, please call Tony
Erwin at 277-9442 for pickup or drop off. Also, if you would
like to make a monetary donation to help purchase parts for
repairs or some new bikes, you can do so by making out a
check to the Freeburg Food Pantry marked for the “Bicycle
Program”…and drop it in the collection basket.
WAY OF LIGHTS TREE DISPLAY VOLUNTEERS

visitors to the Christmas tree display at the Shrine of Our Lady

please email [email protected] or call 618-397-6700.
FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
On behalf of the St. Joseph Catholic School community, we
would like to thank Jack and Anna Marie Crowe for their recent donation to our school. We also thank family and friends
of Maggie Janssen who made memorial donations to our
school.
It is hard to believe we will conclude the first quarter of the
school year on October 24. Thanks to all our volunteers, parents, faculty, staff, and students for all their hard work these
first few months!
This Saturday, SJS Tots will host their annual Trunk or Treat
event from 10-11 AM in the parking lot. This is a great event
geared towards 0-5 year olds. If you have a 0-5 year old in
your family, I hope you can join us for
some fun!
Have a blessed week,
Mr. Tim Queern
School Principal
“CHOOSE LIFE” BABY SHOWER
It’s that time of year—The Knights of Columbus annual baby
supply drive is coming this October, the month of our mother
Mary. Throughout the month of October, the Freeburg
Knights will be hosting a baby shower for the Loving Touch
Pregnancy Center, which is located in Waterloo. The center
provides exams, ultrasounds, supplies, and counseling to mothers who may not be able to provide for their child as an alternative to abortion. A playpen will be set up in the lobby of St.
Joseph Church, where donations of new or gently used baby
supplies can be collected. The center has requested several
items that would be most beneficial based upon their current
stock; these items include wipes, size 5-6 diapers, pull-ups in
any size, baby juice, safety and childproofing items (cabinet
locks, outlet covers, etc.), Enfamil baby formula (Infant or
Gentle Ease) and sippy cups. Also, gift cards to Walmart
would be GREATLY appreciated so the center can stock up on
items they run low on (you can always purchase these cards
through our Together We’re Better program to also benefit our
school- WIN-WIN!) The Knights are grateful for donations of
any kind, and have appreciated your support in all of their past
and present events. Questions? Contact Renee Moeckel @
618-520-3200.
QUILT/BLANKET AND COAT DRIVE
We will be holding our annual quilt/blanket and coat drive
again this year. Items (gently used or new) can be dropped off
on the porch of the "sisterless" house anytime until Nov
2nd. After Nov. 2nd, items can be taken to St. Paul's food and
clothing bank. Please do not place items on Fr. Mark's
porch. Any warm coats or blankets/quilts will be greatly appreciated. Because of the great need of these articles, our contributions are usually distributed the same week they are delivered. Thank you for your support in this ministry.

STEWARDSHIP GARDENS
Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
If you have been reading these columns you know how stewardship relies on a close relationship with God and hearing His
words of instructions, guidance, encouragement and correction.
In your hearts you know the drill... pray, read the bible, actively
participate in frequent reception of the sacraments of reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist.. But, as with any “set of instructions” or cooking recipe getting it right requires much more
than simply doing what is called for in the directions.
Look at a parallel in the “real” world. Whether man, woman,
young, adult or senior think of how you begin a project that is
new to you. Charge ahead not reading or thinking about the
instructions? Or do you spend some time thinking about the
results, what must be done to achieve the objectives and give
some thoughts to possible problems and how you might address
them. Which approach do you think yields better results?
Discerning the Word of God is like that. In the first approach,
we are too busy, think we know it all and are simply not open to
listening for God's voice. The second takes more time and the
rewards are worth it. Some points to remember: Prayer is two
way communication. Don't spend all your time talking. Listen...
in silence. Adoration: An opportune time to sit at the feet of the
Lord. Tell Him in your own words what is on your mind, then
listen. Read the scriptures. If you ask sincerely, the Holy Spirit
will give you the right passages. Then read with an open heart
and you will get the message. The Eucharist: just think, Jesus is
within you. As you thank Him, tell Him what is on your mind
and listen to what He answers. The key: an open heart, give
God time to respond and keep the junk out so you can hear.
You WILL hear. You won't really understand how it is working, but you will hear the voice of God speaking to you. After
all, He wants to speak with YOU more than you realize.
May our Lord God bless, guide, prosper and make bountiful the
work of all His stewards. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE
The St. Joseph’s CYO will be hosting the American Red Cross
Blood Drive on Monday, October 20th from 3 - 730pm. The
drive will be held at the Carl L Barton School Cafeteria located

in good health and will need a photo ID to donate. Donors 16
years of age can donate with parent consent. Contact [email protected] to obtain a consent form in advance of

www.redcrossblood.org and use the sponsor code of

PICNIC WRAP-UP MEETING
Our picnic wrap-up meeting will be Thursday, Oct 23, at 7:00
p.m. in the Parish Center. Please come prepared to go over the
results of this year and discuss ideas for next year.
KEYS FOUND
A key ring was found in the church approximately one month
ago. They include six keys and a Ford key fob.
If they belong to you please contact the church office.
SMALL FAITH (RENEW) GROUPS
Small Faith Groups are now forming to start a series called
Arise Together in Christ "In the Footsteps of Christ"! This resource provides six faith-sharing sessions to help us explore
what it means to walk "In the Footsteps of Christ," and how this
implies active commitment to charity and justice. The first session reflects on our fundamental belief that God in Christ chose
to walk with us on our path through life, and that the risen
Christ now walks with us daily. The second session focuses on
how Christ himself, empowered by the Spirit, presented his
mission; that mission is now ours. The third session reflects on
our mission as being one of service to the world, to bring joy
and hope; to promote a culture of life. Sessions four and five
explore two aspects of love as the foundation of our mission;
one focusing on marriage and family, the other on the true
sense of being neighbor. The Season concludes with a session
on Christ's challenging test of true discipleship: "as you did it to
one of the least..."(Matthew 25:36,40).
Sign up sheets are available in the back of church for you to
register or you can register by email to [email protected]. We have 2 groups on Wed evenings after
mass from 7:00-8:30PM (approximately). They run Oct 29th
thru Dec 10 and are led by Sue Gass and Dave Biver in the parish center. Gene Racho is also leading a group on Thurs. afternoon at Cedar Trails Assisted Living Center from 2:00-3:15
pm. starting Oct. 30.-Dec. 11.
If you would be interested in leading a group in your home at
another time please contact Sue Gass at 410-4635 or email me
at [email protected].
Joyfully, Sue Gass
BIBLE STUDY
Christ spoke in parables from this point forward in Matthew's
gospel not to confuse listeners but to encourage people to find
the hidden messages through further inquiry. Jesus was referring to Isiah 6 where God uses Isiah to pronounce judgment on
Israel for spiritual deterioration and infidelity. Hearts were dull
and calloused by sin. Jesus' use of parables was to reveal this
and awaken the listeners. Parables are also a mirror to listeners.
Are their hearts receptive to the Word of God or hostile to it?
In verses 18-23 the seed in the path falls on hardend hearts.
The seed among the rocks is received well but dies when faced
with challenges. The seed among the thorns is strangled by
worries of life or deception. Seed on good soil is a believing
heart which bears much bounty.
Learn more. Join us Sunday at the Parish Center, 8:00-9:30 AM
Questions? Contact Leo Wolf at 539-3136, or Gene Racho at
475-2402. Another time or venue more convenient? What
books of the Bible you would like to learn more about?

RESPECT LIFE CORNER
End of Life – The proper response to end-of-life suffering is
loving care and accompaniment on the journey towards death –
especially with the help of palliative care – and not “actively
assisted death.” (Pope Benedict XVI Address to public authorities in
Learn, Act, Connect,
Pray: Hospice is a philosophy of care. It treats the person
Austria – September 7, 2007)
rather than the disease and focuses on quality of life. It surrounds the patient and family with a team consisting of professionals who not only address physical distress, but emotional
and spiritual issues as well. You can learn more about the services that hospice provides at https://www.hospice.org/. You
may wish to inquire about volunteering with a hospice organization. Pray for those families beginning or ending this journey
with their loved ones.
