From Fr. Godfrey
- STEWARDSHIP. Thank you to all who
returned your stewardship Commitment
Card last week (or before). Thanks, most
especially to all those who found a way to
"go big" in making your annual
commitment to the Church of time, talent,
and treasure. As disciples, bringing our gifts
forward generously is part of who we are. Reminder: If you
haven't returned your completed card, it would help us very much if you'd
see clear to do that in the next few weeks. Thanks for your attention
to this!
- STEWARDSHIP CONFERENCE. When I go to Wichita
for the Stewardship Conference twice a year, along with
presenting a talk to the participants, I always come home with
ideas to incorporate into our work and prayer here at the
Cathedral. I'm so grateful for the twenty years of experience
that Catholic Stewardship Consultants brings to our parish.
The conference this past week was the celebration of twenty
years for them.
- LABOR DAY. For many decades now, the Church supports
the rights and dignity of workers. As we celebrate this Labor
Day, let's be grateful for the Church's voice in the progression
of labor, particularly in the United States. St. Benedict would
have us always pair work with prayer. St. John Paul II would
have us remember that work is ordered toward fuller living,
and not the other way around.
- ABSENCE. I'll be away next Saturday to give a Stewardship
Retreat at St. Monica parish in Indianapolis. I'll be home
Saturday night.
- PRAYER. Let's take a minute or two every day in the week
ahead to remember to pray for our parish and our parishioners
who are in a particular struggle. May God grant them peace!

PRAYING FOR SEMINARIANS
Please pray for our Diocesan Seminarians and for the monks of Saint Meinrad in
formation. Each week, I’ll list one of them in the bulletin here, with an address, so
that if you’re inclined, you might drop them a note of support. At the very least,
maybe one Hail Mary for each one each week would be helpful. For this week…

September 30th
Vocations: As our country honors Labor this weekend,
we can rejoice in the goodness of work for the Lord. We are each
called to spread the Word and promote our Catholic Church. This is
the vocation of ALL of us. We can call upon St. Joseph the Worker
to help us do the “work of the Lord”. We need to encourage our
family members to be attentive to their call – their life’s work -
maybe even to the priesthood or religious life.

2023 Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal
“The one who does justice will live
in the presence of the Lord.”- Psalm 15
Do you remember your or your children’s or, perhaps, your
grandchildren’s first time away from home attending
college? While greatly anticipated, it can also be a challeng-
ing, sometimes overwhelming experience. Today hundreds
of young adults find a comfortable, secure, faith-based
home during their college years as a “family” member
of the Newman Catholic Student Center at Southern Illinois
University. Your contribution to The Catholic Service and
Ministry Appeal helps makes this experience possible.
Partner with Newman’s students and staff by making your
gift to The Appeal today!
