brothers and priests, the World Mission Sunday col-
lection helps support, through the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith: 194,855 schools . . . 5,246
hospitals . . .17,530 health clinics . . . 577 leprosy

AN UPDATE FROM
CASSIE SCHEMMEL Hello and God's Blessings! As prom-
ised, I wanted to keep all of you up to
date on my progress towards missionary life. I have
been able to pay $10,000 down on my loans so my
current balance is now $84,000. To date, I have
raised $38,000 to be disbursed upon my entrance into
Living Water Community. While I still have $46,000
left to raise, the community and I have made the deci-
sion to move forward and begin applying for my mis-
sionary visa. I have officially booked my flight to
leave the US on January 10th and will arrive in
Trinidad on the 11th. I'm beyond excited to continue
this journey of discernment and am extremely grateful
for the support and prayers from our St. Helen family.
Please keep myself and Living Water Community in
prayer as I continue to fundraise and discern this life.
ADVENT BY
CANDLELIGHT
Do you enjoy cooking? Does
setting a table just right make
you feel happy? How about
making others feel at home? If
any of these three sound like fun to you, your skills
are needed for the ministry of Advent by Candlelight.
We are looking for 10 hosts or co-host pairs to pro-
vide a beautiful setting and tasty treats for women as
we gather to embrace the quiet beauty of Advent. The
event is November 27 at 2:00pm, and this year, we
will have an all-new theme and format. For more in-
formation or to sign up, visit www.sthelenparish.org/
advent-by-candlelight/ or
contact Ellen Garmann in the
parish offices.

MERCY CORNER Our featured Corporal Work of
Mercy for October is
“Bury the dead”
Help a widow or widower with
yardwork or other household duties.
Our featured Spiritual Work of Mercy
for October is “Bear wrongs patiently”.
When you are tempted to “vent” about your
frustrations with another person, ask yourself
why. Is it because you want someone else to
know how you’ve been wronged? Spend time in
prayer instead.
Our Colossians Virtue
for October is “Peace”
Peace: Being calm inside; freedom from
disturbance, war or violence
Scripture: Let the peace of Christ rule in your
hearts, since as members of one body you were
called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
AUTUMN PRAYER (from Doug Leonhardt, S.J.)
God of all seasons,
we thank you for Autumn.
We thank you for the touch of coolness in the air
that gives us a new burst of energy, for the coloring of
trees that shows the creativity of the Divine Artist,
for the falling leaves that reveal the strength of the
branches, for the hues of fields that bring peace to our
souls, for the smiles on pumpkins that bring joy to
children, for the fall harvest which that brings us grat-
itude for the bounty of our land, for this change of
seasons that reveals the circle of life.
God of all seasons,
as you transform the earth,
transform us by your Spirit.
Amen!

RIVERSIDE, OHIO October 16, 2016
DONATING STOCK TO ST. HELEN Donating stock to charity is a great tax planning
tool, derived from the general rule that the deduc-
tion for a donation of property to charity is equal to
the fair market value of the donated property.
Where the donated property is "gain" property, the
donor does not have to recognize the gain on the
donated property. These rules allow for the
"doubling up," so to speak, of tax benefits: A chari-
table deduction, plus avoiding tax on the apprecia-
tion in value of the donated property.
To donate stock to St. Helen Parish, shares should
be deposited into St. Helen’s Fifth Third Bank ac-
count. Transfer instructions are as follows:
