I am about 14 inches tall now and growing really fast.
I try to stretch it out and mom can feel me move about.
You could hear my heartbeat if you put your ear on my
mother’s tummy. If Chris were born now, Christ
would have an 85% chance of survival because Chris’s
lungs have been getting stronger. Sometimes moms
have cravings. Pickles and ice cream make a good
snack.
“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give
thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Treasures From Our Tradition
SHGS Principal
Laura Foss
This month, parishes around the country will conduct the “October count,” a measure of
attendance at Sunday Mass. The measure has been taken for many centuries, and in
some European dioceses it is possible to measure the level of engagement in worship by
the population over the course of many centuries. Long ago, it was also the custom to
track “Easter duty” by a statistical report. Penitents would receive a kind of chit at
confession, which they would then turn in at their parish church when they received
Holy Communion during Easter time.
Long ago, of course, Communion was fairly rare in the life of a Catholic Christian,
perhaps only once a year. The chits would be tallied by parish priests and reported to
the chancery, which in turn would hold on to the records and include the statistics in a
report to the Vatican every five years. Nowadays, the October count has proved
especially critical in the life of our Church as bishops use the figures to measure the
vitality of church life, to sketch parish boundaries, and even to decide when to close,
merge, or form new parishes.
