ST. JOHN'S BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS is on Monday, October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, and we once again invite all of our "animal" parishioners to come to Church for their annual blessing. Please gather in St. Paul Plaza at 7:00 p.m. for the procession into the Church; as usual, hospitality follows for both woman and beast!
ATTENTION, ALL EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS! There is a workshop for all ministers from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. on Monday, October 11, in Church. This will be an opportunity for us to clarify some important issues which affect our ministerial duties, housekeeping, and scheduling. Please make every effort to attend. Thank you.

ST. JOHN'S MARATHON was a 'JOY-filled' experience. To all who were able to attend, thanks for your support! Look for pledge envelopes in the Church pews this weekend for another opportunity to help St. John's School "shine" in 2004. If we raise more than $53,000, Father Bill will shave his head!
NO CLASSES for our school students on Thursday and Friday, October 21/22, because of the MEA Convention.
PLEASE CONTINUE to save Campbell's Labels for Education Program, General Mills for Education Box Tops, Kemps Milk caps, and empty laser & inkjet cartridges and bring them to the school office. Please continue to use your Target Guest Card; we recently received a check for $3,100!
STUDENT GOVERNMENT will be collecting pop tabs so please have your child(ren) bring your family's tabs to school and drop them in the canister at the top of the stairs by Room 101. The tabs collected will be sent to the Ronald McDonald House. Your donations are greatly appreciated!

YOU ARE INVITED to attend our parish retreat, "Luke Live!," Monday - Thursday, October 25 - 28. The goal of the retreat is to strengthen your involvement with Scriptures, and foster evangelization & faith sharing. The weekend liturgies of October 23/24 will focus on ways we interact and relate to the Bible, and the weeknights will highlight community-building themes, such as the Kingdom of God. As part of our focus on adult and family faith formation, this is an opportunity to bring the entire family to hear the Word of God as spoken in the Gospel of Luke. Mark your calendar for these dates and come to be refreshed in the Lord.
