At St. Mary’s, Tipton a colorful flyer and a response envelope was attached to the bulletin. At St. Mary’s, Mechanicsville the envelope was in the pews. As you looked the materials over please consider you gift to the 2013 annual appeal. A simple way to return your ADA envelope is in the collection basket as it comes around. A letter from Bishop Amos states “At our Baptism we were made part of the Body of Christ. As adopted children of God, we are Brothers and sisters to each other. We are connected in faith, made one in the Spirit.” A colorful pie-chart graph, explaining in detail how your gift is used is a part of the materials. The Annual Diocesan Appeal Goal for the 2013 is $2, 922,025. Each year, every Catholic family is asked to participate in our Annual Diocesan Appeal. This is a vital sign of our unity in Christ as we reach out in faith to love one another constantly in Jesus’ name. Supporting this special Appeal is also a very meaningful way of expressing our gratitude to God for His many blessings. Please make all checks payable to the Diocese of Davenport and all pledge reminders and IRS tax letters will come from the Diocese. Thank you for your gift to the ministries to the Diocese. L ast week a priest of the Diocese, Fr. Daniel Mannhardt died. Fr. Mannhardt had served our Diocese since his ordination in 1957. The closest his ministry was to our area was West Branch. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace!

More volunteers are needed to help with Bingo at the Mechanicsville Care Center. Various groups volunteer a month at a time for this fun and important activity for the residents. St. Mary's is in charge for the months of Jan, April, July and October. The activity is held on Wednesdays at 2pm and usually takes less than an hour. If you are interested in volunteering, please come on the Wednesdays of the month of Oct. If you have questions, contact Sharon Boyd or the Care Center. New Missalettes! We will be receiving new missalettes, Breaking Bread beginning with Advent. These are a full year missal which includes music and are published by Oregon Catholic Press. New practices; old traditions: 1) You will be given an opportunity to greet the people around you before Mass. 2) You are asked to hold hands during "Our Father" even across the aisle. 3) Toddlers and elementary aged students are asked to bring their offering up the center aisle with the gifts at the offertory. MCC Food Pantry: During the month of September we served 51 families (consisting of 84 adults, 66 children and 29 seniors). We registered 3 new families and 21 of the 51 families utilized the pantry twice this month. Thank you to all of our volunteers that helped with the pantry this month.Because of Thanksgiving, our November distributions will be on the 1st and 3rd Thursday in November (November 7th & 21st) and the 3rd Saturday (November 23rd). We received many donations of food and money again this month. Thank you to everyone who donated fresh produce over the summer. Our clients have truly enjoyed the variety and amount of locally grown produce. It is hard to believe that February 23, 2014 will mark the 5 year anniversary of our first distribution. We were given a couple thousand pounds of food the Boy Scouts collected and were trying to determine the best way to get it into the hands of people who needed it. Individuals met representing the local Churches and most of the community groups in town. On February 23, 2009 we served 8 families and still had a tremendous amount of food left over. I never imagined that nearly five years later the Mechanicsville Community Cupboard would be here and impacting so many lives in our community. I know we are all very busy people, yet you take the time to volunteer and contribute to our pantry. My hope is that someday there will not be a need for a food pantry in our community, I thank God and each one of you that the Mechanicsville Community Cupboard is here and we are able to serve as many families as we do. Thank you for all that you do. ~Scott Schroeder Sunday, October 20th we will be having an all parish meeting to introduce the new council members and to review the parish plans & progress for the past Lector Training: If you are interested in being a lector for Mass, please sign-up at entrance of church. We will be having a training for all lectors in the near future. Items for the Mechanicsville portion of the bulletin should go to Shirley by Wednesdays of each week.

These ranged from true leprosy and cancer to simple rust or mildew. If a person showed any white spots on his body he had to strip and be examined by a priest. A period of quarantine would be followed by another exam. If the symptoms cleared up, the victim could return home. If the spots remained or grew worse, the person would be banished. The priest carried the responsibility of protecting society from contagion. http://www.silk.net/RelEd/lonsdale.htm Stewardship: A Way of Life “Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Luke 17:18 Jesus seems so sad and disappointed in the nine lepers who did not return to thank Him. Do we regularly return to thank God? Or do we run off to our busy lives, taking for granted all the wonderful blessings that God gives to us every day? St. Mary Churches, Mechanicsville - Tipton Website information for both parishes: www.stmarystipton.net A s Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!" And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you." Luke 17: 11-19 Questions of the Week Theme: We are Eucharistic people. We live in praise and thanksgiving. Breaking Open the Word Suggested text for faith sharing: Today’s Gospel Step One: Listen to the Word Listen carefully to the Gospel of this week. What image in this story strikes you most forcefully? What word or phrase caught your ear? Step Two: Look into Your Life Question for Children: Make up a prayer which tells God you are thankful for everything you have, even if it’s not all you want. Question for Youth: Only one of the lepers returned to give thanks. This past week, when have you stopped to thank someone for something good they have done for you?
