 IN OUR PARISH

BELIZE GROUP 2008     Last week there was a notice that the money left over from the mission trip was  going toward a parish project.  Since this was not the purpose for which the money was given, we will not transfer its use to anything else.  Whatever we do with the money, it will have something to do with Belize or another mission trip.

IN OUR DIOCESE

SEMINARIAN EDUCATION FUND COLLECTION   A vocation to the priesthood is an answer to Jesus’ call to participate in His work.  Christ is the one who calls.  Our Seminarians have courageously responded to God’s call, but they also need the support and prayers of the people they hope to serve.  It is from within the Church - the community of hope and faith - that these men find the love, support, and courage they need to complete their journey and walk totally in the ways of the Lord.  Estimated Diocesan cost for providing our seminarians with tuition, books, room and board, health insurance, living allowances, and retreats for the coming year will amount to nearly $740,000.  You can help by making and immediate gift to the Seminarian Education Fund.  Please pray daily for our seminarians and for an increase in vocation to the priesthood.

HOLY TRINITY HOLIDAY BAZAAR   to be held on Saturday, November 1^st from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. 840 Washington Ave. , Newport .  Many local crafters & concessions.   Admission is $1.00.

ELSEWHERE

TO THOSE OF YOU LOOKING FOR COLLEGES     there are a couple of opportunities you might want to consider.  Thomas More College is continuing two programs for Catholic students.  The first program they call Parochial Promise.  This program guarantees Catholic high school graduates a minimum of $10,000 every year for four years if they if they are unconditionally accepted to Thomas More College.  Another program, called the Catholic Covenant Award, guarantees that a Catholic student who is a member of a Catholic parish but does not attend a Catholic high school will receive a minimum award of $7,000 every year for four years.                                                                                                                                                            Brescia University in Owensboro has instituted what they call the Catholic Connection Grant.  This is a grant to graduates of a private Catholic high school or to public high school graduates, who have their pastor=s recommendation.  To quote from their letter, AThis discount is valued at 50% of tuition per year provided that the student lives on campus and does not combine the grant with other institutional aid.  State and federal financial aid is still available to those who qualify.@
