Community Life: Narcan is now in the Church and the Center. Instructions will be in the bulletin.

Maintenance: The maintenance crew are in the process of putting new siding on the garage. They are
also running wires for the security system which will be in place in several weeks. Paperwork needed to
begin the tuck pointing of the Church has been completed and turned in to the contractor. Work is also
being done at the cemetery straightening headstones.

Finance & Administration / Worship: Next week all priests will be on retreat so there will be no daily Masses that week. We will have Adoration on Tuesday and Wednesday as usual. Father Blubaugh will have surgery on Oct. 10. This coming week, St. Vincent de Paul will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Church which was built in Oct. 1923. The weekend of Oct. 14-15, St. Luke will have a visiting priest to fill in for Fr. Brandimarti.

On Saturday, Oct. 7, Starting Point will have their Fall Fundraising Event at Sockman Community Park in Fredericktown. It begins at 9am and continues until noon. Please join us as we recite the rosary for the defeat of the abortion amendment before Saturday Mass and after Sunday Mass. We need to unite in prayer and fasting for the defeat of this abortion amendment. Be sure you are registered to vote and vote no on Issue 1.
 
Bereavement: Since the last meeting of Parish Council on September 5, there are no deaths within the parish, but one death with parish connections to report. Harold R. Brown, the Father of Susan (Deacon Tim) Birie, died September 9. A Celebration of Life was held September 14 at Snyder Funeral Home in Fredericktown. A private service will be held at a later date. Please keep Harold’s family in prayer during this difficult time. We expect to mail approximately 130 invitations to the Memorial Gathering this week, with an RSVP date of November 15.  We will be working with George Durbin, Dave Rashley, and Bob Blubaugh to honor our Knights of Columbus who have died since 2018, since Kevin Murphy will be unavailable. The updated list of participants for Adoration, including times and contact information, is complete and has been mailed. October is Mass count month. The first date this year is actually September 30. A reminder email has been sent to all ushers.

Safety: A key card system is being installed to protect our parishioners and our church. The key card reader will be installed on the side door of the church, the sacristy door, the kitchen door, and the office door. The maintenance crew have been working on installing the needed wiring. Installation will take several weeks. Communication about the system will be explained once it is completed.

Old Business: a) 2024 Festival Date: Next year’s date for the Festival is Saturday, July 13. Please be sure to save the date so you can help support the Festival. We are currently looking for chairs for next year’s Festival.

Father Hammond strongly encourages everyone to come and learn more about the wonderful gift of the Holy Eucharist.
