MONSIGNOR WOY’S MESSAGE FOR THE WEEK

TOP THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS WEEK:

Dear Friends,

This is the final weekend of our Fall Stewardship Campaign. As I

emphasized the last several weeks, this year’s appeal is about assuring

the parish has the necessary financial resources to sustain and maintain

current programs and ministries. Offertory income declined last year,

and we are struggling to pay our bills. If you have yet to complete a

commitment card, you will have a chance to do so during Mass this

weekend. I am very grateful to all who financially support the good

work of our parish.

The next Open House at The School of the Cathedral is this

Tuesday beginning at 8:30am. Prospective parents and grandparents

are cordially invited to attend and experience first-hand the positive

atmosphere of our school community. Principal Michael Wright, Fr.

Kevin and I look forward to greeting all who participate. For more

information about SCMOQ, visit the school’s website

www.schoolofthecathedral.org.

Volunteerism/Stewardship of Time will be a major focus of the

parish’s pastoral plan over the next several years. One of the areas

that needs volunteers is our music program. It is obvious from

many conversations with parishioners that music is a major factor in

the prayer life of the parish. Both our traditional choir (11am Mass)

and contemporary group (9:30am Mass) need additional members with

both vocal and instrumental talent. Please consider being a part of the

parish music ministry. I know that both Glenn Osborne

(gosborne@cmoq.org) or Ashley Powers (apowers@cmoq.org)

would love to explore possibilities with you.

Next Sunday we welcome Kindergartners and Pre-First students from

SCMOQ and the Sunday School of Religion as we resume Class

Masses for the year. Fellowship will follow in the Undercroft

afterwards.

Don’t forget to set aside time to participate in Where in the World?

The Importance of Biblical Geography by Fr. Bill Burton, OFM,

professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Mary’s Seminary. The course will

be held on Tuesday evenings (October 22 & 29 and November 5 &
