The dedication of the basilica took place on Nov. 9, 324 by Pope St. Sylvester I. It is located in Rome on property then owned by the Laterani family; hence the title, the Lateran Basilica. Originally dedicated as the Church of the Most Holy Savior, it was later given an additional dedication to St. John the Baptist, hence the present name of St. John Lateran Basilica. The pope actually lived on the property from the 4th century until 1309 when the papacy was transferred to Avignon (France) by Clement V during what history calls the “Babylonian captivity”, a 70 year period of seven popes when the French controlled the Church. The papacy returned to Rome in 1378 during the pontificate of Gregory XI. The present structure was commissioned in 1646 by Innocent X. Beneath the high altar rests the remains of the small wooden table on which, according to tradition, St. Peter celebrated Mass. Today’s feast marks the anniversary of the dedication of the church which is “mother and head of all churches of Rome and the world”, and serves as the pope’s cathedral (not St. Peter’s Basilica). Most important, today the Church recalls that the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. Jesus continues to make himself present through the life of the Church, especially the celebration of the sacred mysteries, the sacraments and the proclamation of the gospel. St. Paul reminds us today in his First Letter to the Corinthians: “You are God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ.” He continues: “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.” Today, we celebrate the living presence of Jesus in his Church, and we his living body in the Spirit….. This afternoon at 2:00 p.m. the Mass of Remembrance for all who died this past year will be celebrated at Queen of All Saints. May they rest in peace! ..... Please read Archbishop Carlson’s letter pertaining to Ferguson in today’s bulletin. You may watch his video presentation at http://archstl.org/peace. Monsignor Joseph Simon The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR SCHOOL FURNITURE / FIXTURES / SUPPLIES AND HVAC SYSTEMS Queen of All Saints Parish is in need of immediate cash to cover the replacement of school furniture, ceiling tiles, fixtures, and education supplies, and for repairs to or replacement of HVAC units in the school. These cash needs are directly related to the mold remediation effort that took place in the school in September. The Finance Council foresees a need for a pledge from each family payable over the next 6 – 9 months, this in addition to ordinary monthly or weekly contributions. A special letter was sent to each registered parishioner home recently containing a donation envelope for “Mold Remediation Appeal”. Donations may also be made through Faith Direct (enroll at the parish office or online at Faith Direct; the QAS parish code is MO86). The estimated expense for remediation repairs in the school and the church hall exceeds $520,000. The repair or replacement of HVAC systems is unknown at this time. Once it is ascertained, it will be announced. We appreciate your assistance in covering these extraordinary expenses which obviously were not known at the time the budget was prepared for this year. PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR POOR SOULS Catholics may gain a plenary indulgence for all temporal punishment due to sin for anyone who has died by performing the following: Pray for the souls in purgatory: one Our Father and one Hail Mary Recite the Apostles Creed Receive Holy Communion Go to confession within 20 days Pray for the Holy Father’s intention Have no attachment to sin. BOOK OF THE DEAD The Book of the Dead will be in the main lobby of the church during the entire month of November. You are welcome to add names at any time during this month. We also hope everyone will remember the names that are in the book in their prayers. The names of the persons you write in the book do not have to be members of the parish and it is not limited to someone who passed away this year. In fact, you can repeat someone’s name from a previous year. November 9, 2014 The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica CARDINAL RIGALI CENTER 20 ARCHBISHOP MAY DRIVE ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI 63119 P) 314.792.7841 F) 314.792.7842 WWW.ARCHSTL.ORG ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. LOUIS OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP October 10, 2014 Brothers and sisters in Christ, By now we should all realize that there is no going back to the status quo following the tragic shooting of Michael Brown. Rightly so! The status quo was not good enough. This tragedy has left a community struggling to cope with anger and frustration that it had repressed for many years. Now is our moment of truth. We can let the anger and frustration spill over in violence, and then be repressed again. Or we can take the opportunity to break the cycle and address the underlying issues that cause the anger and frustration. But we need to keep in mind the issues here are bigger than Ferguson. They are as deep as the hold of sin on the human heart and as broad as the solidarity of the entire human race. That means we will not be able to fix things quickly. But we have to move forward. And it is not just Ferguson or the greater St. Louis metropolitan community, but the entire country and the whole Church that needs to look at these issues. Is it not a sad reality that we integrated professional baseball and schools a long time ago, but have not integrated everyone’s heart? The sin of racism in our cities and our nation must be dealt with, but never with violence. There are small but vocal groups currently threatening violence. I urge anyone who feels the desire to violently lash out to first pause and consider the potential consequences of their actions: Will violence make the situation right? Will it right the wrongs? Or will it only make things worse? The unrelenting desire for revenge is a position that seeps into our souls and can become contagious carrying with it a commitment to violence. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars...Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” What’s the solution? For all of us to be quick to apologize for our own faults, and as quick to forgive the faults of others as we want them to be in forgiving ours. We need to come together in prayer and dialogue to address the deeper underlying issues - family breakdown, racial profiling, quality education, abuses of authority, lack of gainful employment, fear of one another, mistrust of authority, black on black violence, and white flight. In God we are all one family and we need to call upon Christ the Prince of Peace in prayer to give us the strength to sit down together as brothers and sisters. So, let’s ask: what blueprint does God have in mind for us? And let’s remember that Christ gave us the blueprint: to love God with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. What that means for us is that we must respect the dignity of each other. We show that respect by having a willingness to sit down together and dialogue, by having the humility to admit our mistakes and say we are sorry, and by praying for one another yes, praying! Praying that God fills our hearts with love for one another, removes the hate we have allowed to fester there, and teaches us how to express our love in concrete ways. It is no longer the time to ask “What would Jesus do?” It is time to ask “What is Jesus doing?” What Jesus is not doing is adding violence to violence. Remember what he said to his disciples in the Gospel of Luke when they asked if they should call down fire from Heaven to consume a town that didn’t welcome him? (Lk 9:54). He rebuked them. Jesus is also not ignoring the problem and hoping it will go away! What Jesus is doing is pleading with us to listen to each other, respect each other, and help each other. That’s the same Jesus who said: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Christ calls us to promote peace, not provoke violence. Our Lord Himself suffered the most terrible of injustices, because although incapable of doing wrong, He was nevertheless condemned to suffer and die on the cross. And when one of his disciples responded by lashing out in violence he said “Put away your sword!” Inspired by the example of Christ, I fervently renew my call to everyone in Ferguson and the greater St. Louis community: be an instrument of peace amid the chaos! Work for calm in the turmoil! If we depart from God’s blueprint, the fruit of our thoughts and actions will not be peace but its opposite - force and violence! It’s time to turn to a different kind of power - persuasion and service. It is the way of Gandhi and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. It is the way of the Lord who is filled with love and mercy. It is the way each of us should be. May the God who suffered on the Cross fill us with love, and guide our thoughts and actions. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Robert J.

NOVEMBER Canned Ham Boxed Potatoes or Stuffing Mix Canned Yams or Sweet Potatoes Evaporated Milk Canned Gravy or Broth Cream of Mushroom Soup November 9, 2014 ADVENT BLANKET MAKING – HELP ‘WARM UP’ ST. LOUIS Are you looking for a meaningful way to begin Advent and get ready for this Christmas season? Before the craziness of shopping, preparations and parties start – wouldn’t we all like to find a way to prepare our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas? Advent blanket-making began two years ago on the first Sunday of Advent at QAS after hearing about a homeless man who froze to death on our city’s streets. Since that time, so far, QAS parishioners have come together and hand-made over 70 fleece blankets that were then delivered to St. Patrick’s Center to help protect those in need from the bitter winter cold. We are offering the opportunity again this year to start your Advent in an impactful way. Sunday, November 30, from 2-4 p.m. the QAS gym will be open to all who would like to participate in this project. Entire families can work on their blanket together, mothers and daughters, groups of friends, even Girl Scout troops. And this is a great service activity for eighth graders to do with their confirmation sponsors! You can start looking now for your fleece at any fabric store. Just purchase two pieces of fleece, 2 yards each, one in a solid color and the other in a coordinating print or both in solid colors. Bring the fleece, some good, sharp scissors, a ruler if you have one, and possibly something to cushion your knees as this is an on-thefloor project. We will show you a very easy way to make a warm fleece blanket in about an hour. If you are unable to come on November 30, you are welcome to make your blanket on your own and drop it off at the Parish Office where we will pick it up before delivering downtown – or contact us to come pick it up from your house. If you need to know how to make the blankets, please email Mary at the address below. We will be happy to send the instructions to you. Let’s start this Advent season off with warm hearts, knowing we will be helping others stay warm this winter! To ensure we have adequate space and supplies, please RSVP Mary at [email protected]. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Thank your for your interest and the positive feedback we received. We are, however, planning on having a dance event next year. This single night collaboration uses the universal language of music to encourage people to participate. Reflective and traditional songs will compliment selections from Michael's albums “Bring Forth the Light” and “Always What I Need.” Catholics can relate to Greg's stories, which weave scripture through real life experiences. The examples from Greg's book “Where Faith & Real Life Come Together...” will encourage the audience to see how God is at work in everyday life. All of this is highlighted by Greg's compelling witness, a story of a spiritual awakening from that of a lapsed cradle Catholic to a passionate Catholic speaker. The evening will culminate with Michael and Greg providing an opportunity for all ages to re-focus on Christ and re-commit themselves to their Catholic faith. Greg and Michael will encourage people to enter into their own journey to “Bethlehem” to bring Christ into this world every day.
