Indianola Deanery Notes Fall 2012

~~
Diaper Drive 2012
To ~rvice Commission Chairs
Ladies, the LDCCW is again asking for your help with the 3rd Annual Pro Life Diaper
Drive. The goal is to exceed 50,000 diapers. The Diaper Drive will be during the
whole month of October, Pro Life Month. The Deanery Service Commission Chairs are
again asked to consolidate the diapers collected in their Deanery. Kay Wessel will be
contacting the Deanery Service Commission Chairs in September to discuss the Drive.
Kay will also be sending Diaper Drive reminders to the Parish Priests so if you don't see
a reminder in your Church Bull~ please ask Father to check his email (Subject:
October Pro-Life Diaper Drive) , mail- if Father does not have email, or develop
reminders ofyour own and ask Father to include in your Bulletin.
Some parishes have collected money in addition to diapers and found they could purchase
diapers from Diapers.com more reasonably than they could purchase diapers elsewhere.
Cash donations are always welcome. Checks can be made outto LDCCW.
Unfortunately we cannot accept cloth diapers since the population we're serving may not
be ideal candidates fpr cloth.
In the Deanery packets you will find a Diaper Drive Flyer for each parish in your
Deanery. Please encourage each parish to post the flyer.
Thank you
Kay Wessel, LDCCW Service Commission

Everyday Fitness Ideas from the National Institute on Aging at NIH
www.nia.nih.govjGo4Life
Fun Ideas for Being Active All Year
January: Start the new year by trying out a fitness
center-many offer New Year's Resolution specials.
February: Give your heart a Valentine's Day gift with dance
lessons, such·as salsa, tango, or belly dancing.
March: Anything can be fun with upbeat music, including
spring cleaning.
April: Work in your garden. Bending, lifting, and stretching
are all great exercises.
May; Build your endurance and strength with a bike ride
during National Bike Month. Remember your helmet.
June: Once your grandchildren are out of school for the
summer, ask them to teach you their favorite type of physical
activity.
July: Cool off with a water aerobics class.
August: Celebrate National Bowling Week the first week in
August. Get mends and family together and challenge each
other to a friendly tournament.
September: If you've heard about the benefits of yoga but
. haven't tried it yet, National Yoga Awareness Month is a great
time to find special events and trial classes for beginners.
October: Take a hike to do some leaf looking. Pick apples
o:rPlJmpk!n~...Ih§.beautiful colors are inspirational, and a
brisk walk is great for your endurance!
November: Now that the leaves have fallen, rake and bag
the leaves.
December: Try ice skating or building a snowman. If you
have holiday shopping to do, walk the entire mall each time
you're there.

ADVENT PRAYER SERVICE
(from HCA manual:-May be adapted further for use in Fundraiser#2)
Opemng Discussion: How does itfeel to waitfor something? When have you waited? What kinds ofthings have
you waitedfor? What do you do while you're waiting?
Leader
(Ifpossible, have an Advent wreath ready to light.)
Advent is a time of waiting-waiting for something wonderful!
Reader 1
(Adaption ofIsaiah 7:14)
A virgin shall have a son, and he shall be called Emmanuel-God with us.
All
Thank you, God, for this promise to us.
Reader 2
(Adaption ofIsaiah 35 and 61)
The blind will see again. The deafwill hear and the lame will dance. The hungry will eat and the
prisoners will be set free.
All
Thank you, God, for this promise to us.
Reader 3
(Adaption ofIsaiah 2 and 35)
Streams will run in the desert and it shall bloom with flowers. The nations will change their
sword into plows; they will not train for war again.
All
Thank you, God, for this promise to us.
Leader
These are God's promises to us. This is what we wait for-and others wait, too. These promises,
these wonderful things, are for all people everywhere. All nations shall live these promises, says
the prophet Isaiah. But right now, many members of God's family are waiting, all over the world.
• They live in places that are strange to them.
• They wait for soldiers to stop fighting so they can go home.
• They wait for the rains to come so their crops will grow.
• They wait for in long lines to get food and water.
• They wait at hospitals, hoping to receive the medicine they need.
All
God, our sisters and brothers are waiting. We are waiting. Your whole family waits together.
Allow time for reflection. Then talk about what it mustfeel like to waitfor things like food and water, and medicine
and safety. What can people do when they need these basic things? What can we do while were waitingfor the
prophets' words to come true?
Think ofwhatyou can do duriflgAdventto prepare Jesus'way. You might decide to stopfighting with your
brothers and sisters. You might decide to pray every dayjor people in need and to make donations for them.
Reader 4
(Adoption ofIsaiah 9)
The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. (light the candle)
Leader
We light this candle to remind us of God's promises to us and our promises to God during this time
ofAdvent.
All
Thank yo~ Go~ for your promises to us and to all people. Help us to wait in patience and in hope.
Make us grow in caring and in strength so we can help others who are waiting-because we all wait
together.

, The above ladies are to be commended for their work in the Spirituality Commission. Each has planned
her respective activity with a lot of time and effort. Pray for us, and contact ladies as you need to.
Marriage Encounter Weekends: Give your marriage a boost! and remember the plan God has for
marriage. If any parish would like pulpit talks on Marriage Encounter, let Elaine Swanson know.
Parent Educator Packets are those DVD!s and medals given to the newly Baptised in all parishes. There
a booklet available for Hispanic families, along with a medal for their baby, also.
Council Women of The Eucharist was initiated in 1990 by the Past Presidents of the LDCCW. Adopt-APriest was started in 2002 by the same group of women. They were well received and have been
promoted as much as possible. It is difficult to continue a follow-up on these projects for the present.
In regard to Council Women of The Eucharist, it has been suggested to send blank membership cards t
parishes if they wish to pledge prayer time, but not to require anything to be sent backto the lDCCW
record-keeping. The premise to spend one,hour per week with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament should
be between each person and God! as when Jesus asked His disCiples in the Garden of Gethsemane,
"Could you not spend one hour with Me?" Also, with Adopt-A-P,r iest, we.. have ,begn ~skeqto realign t

have an active· relationship, but that no "new' adopted
priests be assigned! since they would already be in one of the listed categories-even the newly
ordained. And of course we support our Seminarians each year with a burse fund donation.
We are looking to increase the Msgr. Riordan Scholarship total in the next two years. At present it is ~

tates:
That all
p.e.c.w.'s in the Diocese of Lincoln be asked to contribute to a campaign entitled 'Funds F
~uns.J These monies
will be distributed to our five Diocesan Motherhouses: the Marian Sisters
:Waverly); the School Sisters of Christ the King (Lincoln, near Denton); the Carmel Of Jesus, Mary &
Joseph Convent (Carmelite Cloister) (Agnew Road, near Valparaiso); the Congregation of Mary, Qu
of Mercy (Vietnamese Sisters, Lincoln); and the Franciscan Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother (Nebras
City). The funds will be divided based on the number of candidates to each convent who require
assistance in reducing their outstanding debts, so these yoUng women can enter the convents. ThE
Spirituality Commission Chair will gather the information each fall from the Mothers Superior oftr
listed Motherhouses, and funds will be dispersed as soon as all data is received from all five
Motherhouses. If there are no candidates requiring assistance at any of the Motherhouses, the fu
will be kept in a savings account until needy candidates arise."
As part of the Legislative issues pending, of course we must support pro-life causes in the upcomi
election in November. Please assist someone, perhaps handicapped or elderly, to vote. And we n
defeat the HHS rnandatesagainst .our religious beliefs and freedoms.. Pray for our Christian insure
providers~ God bless all those companies filing lawsuits against this legislation !
From the Rural Ufe standpoint, there is a good·advertisement by th~ Nebraska Soybean Board st
we must support animal agriculture in our state. There is a difference between abused animats/~
and the meat industry's humane treatment of animals.
