BOY SCOUT TROOP 850 PANCAKE BREAKFAST: By now you are saying as you read this: “I know, I know….St. Ignatius Boy Scout Troop 850 is serving pancakes and sausages on October 28th from 7 am to 12 noon and I’m welcome to come to the St. Ignatius School Cafeteria and stuff all the pancakes I can into my little and soon to be bigger tummy.

And for sure I can’t wait to taste again “Jean’s Homemade Fresh Blueberry Topping.” So I say if you know all of this why haven’t you purchased your discounted advance ticket from any Boy Scout in the troop?

An Evening with Our Furry Friends – Family Fun Night – Friday, November 2 at 6:30pm in Hilvert Center. This program is being presented by Girl Scouts from Troop 8209 who are working on their Bronze Award project. The girls will be collecting items at the program to give to the SPCA such as old blankets, towels, cleaning supplies, dog & cat food, leashes, dog & cat toys, snacks, collars, grooming supplies, etc. At 7:00 Meg Stephenson from the SPCA will bring some of her favorite pets and present Being a Good Pet Parent. Girl Scouts from Troop 8209 will be making a pet crown craft with the children. Reservations required, space is limited to 250. Children must be

In the near future (November), we at St. I’s, are going to be offering a new program geared at assisting all people of the parish and our Sisters and Brothers at St. Leo’s. The Angel Food Program is a food program aimed at providing food at affordable prices for those that have a tight budget. Now while this program is geared at those who may need a tighter budget than most it is still open for all people to take part.

Now I do not intend for this program to usurp Market Day or replace it. Market Day items are vastly different than those offered by the Angel Food program. Angel Food is based upon a given set of menus and not individual items for sale. All extra funds raised by Market Day go to youth and St. I’s activities and that will remain the same. Angel Food will raise about one dollar for St. Leo’s with each meal sold.

The simple reason why we are starting this program is to take a more parish wide active role in our relationship with St. Leo. If you know of anyone who may live on a budget that will benefit from this program, please stop by the office or the back of church and ask for the current month’s menu. The office will be ready to accept orders by the Beginning of November. By that time our friends at St. Leo’s will have had the opportunity to train our staff to handle all incoming orders. So help us spread the word and keep and eye out for those among us who might profit from this new endeavor.

I would also like to ask each and everyone of you to please consider sponsoring a family from Guatemala in the coming year. As you know it was our turn to visit our friends last August and now we get the chance to open our homes to them. The goal of this relationship is simply to share our parish and our faith. While we get the chance to show our brothers and sisters just a little taste of who and what we are, as a catholic people.
God Bless
Fr. Pete

A Humorous story from the Joyful Noiseletter: The pastor of a church with a summer ministry at a campground was advised by the ushers that they couldn’t find offering plates anywhere. None of the ushers wore hats, and the pastor thought it was undignified to pass a shoe. When the time came for the offering, two ushers – grinning broadly – walked down the aisle carrying two hubcaps they had borrowed from a parishioner’s car.

We need your help. Many less fortunate souls need items to keep them warm this winter. Your gently worn or new gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, blankets, and yarn will keep many less fortunate souls warm this winter. Please drop off all donations to the Parish Office. Thank you.
