Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You
are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things,
and I desire You with all my heart. Since I cannot now receive
You sacramentally, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already In my heart
and unite myself to You completely. Please do not let me ever
be separated from you
Amen

3 Dear parishioners and visitors,
It is that time of the year to gear up for the 2020 Diocesan Annual Appeal. Let me give you a recap on how we did last year: target amount - $59,310.00, paid - $52,340.00, balance due - $6,970.00. You see we did not complete the amount set by the diocese and the balance became a bill which was paid. Here is the amount set for this year: $62,425.00. The total amount ($5,675,035.00) set by the diocese did not go up from last year. After the data is in-putted from all parishes from the 2018-19 fiscal year and divided among the parishes, ours went up. A bright spot in all this is the number of our parishioners donating went up from the past year. Approximately 35% of the number of households gave which is about average in the diocese.
When you receive the information on the appeal, please read carefully and consider what you can give to support the work of the Church in the diocese and abroad. We can sit and complain about it but it doesn’t do any good; the amount will not go down. So, please be generous. I donated $850.00 last year and plan to give more this year. It is in sacred scripture that we are to tithe 10% back to God for his blessings. You will not know his blessings if you do not give. Respond as soon as you can so that we can actually exceed it this year and get it done early. Any money that is paid over and above the target comes back to the parish tax-free. We need it to support the opera-tional budget of the parish.
Let us pray and hope that through the intercession of St. Joseph we make this appeal successful for our parish and diocese.
Thank you, and God bless you. Msgr. Stoetzel
Announcements Msgr. Stoetzel will be on vacation from September 21st – 30th. Please note weekday Masses and com-munion services for the next weeks.
The diocese has announced the obligation to at-tend Mass on Sunday will be put back into effect beginning the weekend of October 3rd-4th. All Catholics are to attend except for those who have respiratory ailments that covid-19 could compro-mise their health.
As in compliance to the Governor’s executive order on July 30th, all people from age 5 and up are to wear face masks indoors in confined areas includ-ing churches effective August 1st. The penalty could be up to $200.00 for non-compliance. It is anticipated this will be in effect through September 28th. Thank you.
The annual conferring of the sacrament of the anointing of the sick will be on Tuesday, October 6th. Due to covid-19, it will be done differently this year because of present limitations. Msgr. Stoetzel will hold a short service and anoint after the 8:30 AM Mass at 9:30 AM in St. Gabriel Church. Please be prompt. This anointing is given to those who are facing major surgery, having serious illnesses, aging, and dying.

From Fr. Paul Fagan Dear Friends of many many years,
In Tanzania we often hear the Swahili word “changamoto”
used to describe a difficult situation. Perhaps it is best trans-
lated as “challenge”. I have been home here in Prairie du
Chien for about 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks were self quar-
antine. Since then I have been dealing with the
“changamoto” of how to communicate with all of my friends
in the 14 parishes that have supported my work in Tanzania,
some of them since I bought a John Deere tractor back in
1974. When I left Tanzania my hope and prayer was that
Covid 19 would be coming under control in the USA and
that I would be able to reschedule my regular visits to the
various parishes at a later date. I found the situation differ-
ent than that of Nkololo, a town of 14,000 people, where
there were no known cases of Covid 19. I left with obvious
concerns about my safety, but due to issues with my eyes,
dental concerns, my annual check-up and my annual supply
of 2 heart medicines I made the long safari. My fellow pas-
tors in several parishes advised me to find an alternate way
of communicating my annual update to all of you. It was
suggested that the simplest way was to write several install-
ments for the the parish bulletins. Consequently you will be
hearing from me via your parish bulletin when there is space
for my updates. My concern is that “out of sight, out of
mind” may hold true. I pray that it will not be so as I am still
in the front line, especially in our efforts to complete our
Songambele Health Center. You may continue your help by
writing a check to Roads to Life Tanzania and sending it to
PO Box 157, Prairie du Chien, WI 53821.
SCHOOL NEWS...My name is Richard Palucci, the music teacher for Prairie Catholic. I am happy to be here working with our wonderful students. My mu-sic classes consist of listening, reading, singing, ear train-ing and music therapy.
