“We’re only a week away from Thanksgiving week. The holidays are almost upon us. I pray we all use them well. Next Sunday evening in Chamois will be our ecumenical Thanksgiving Service hosted at St. John’s UCC Church. However it will be a little different this year, as they have invited a musician to give a Christmas Concert (they had wanted to invite him for the community and this was the only date he had left). So it is still a good time for us to get together with members of the other churches in town and celebrate Thanksgiving/Advent/Christmas. So I encourage everyone to attend. Assumption will host an ecumenical Thanksgiving service on Wednesday evening, the 25th (the eve of Thanksgiving Day). A Mass for Thanksgiving Day will be offered at MPH on Thanksgiving at 9 am.”…Fr. Dave

Bishop’s Letter - CCHD
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
During his visit to Brazil, Pope Francis said, “The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need” (World Youth Day, Address, July 25, 2013). With these words, Pope Francis continues to bring our attention back to the poor and our responsibility toward them. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) responds directly to this call by addressing the root causes of poverty in the United States.
Founded in 2004, the group Ex-Prisoners and Prisoners Organizing for Community Advancement (EPOCA) works to change the future for men and women returning to society after incarceration. Since its inception, EPOCA has steadily grown in membership, influence, and vision. Today, it forms a diverse team of 226 members working with thousands of allies every day to win legislative victories that improve the lives of families around the country.
In the past year our Diocese funded four CCHD projects. The Kids in Motion project provides community service and life success training and education to low-income, at-risk youth in the Hannibal area that helps young people learn skills and develop their potential for future job and community success. Other CCHD funded groups will be able to provide English language skills to immigrants and refugees in central Missouri, help homeless people get a toe-hold back into a normal life, and another funded project will help immigrant workers defend their dignity in the work place and help them gain the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively advocate for their health and human rights.
This collection is the primary source of funding for CCHD’s anti-poverty grants and education programs, like the grant that supports EPOCA and our locally-funded projects. Funding from the collection offers new hope every year to those living in poverty throughout the United States. Importantly, 25 percent of the collection’s proceeds stay here in our Diocese to fight poverty in our community and defend the dignity of our neighbors. Help us defend human dignity and show Christ’s charity to those in need.
For more information about the collection for CCHD and the groups it funds, please visit www.povertyusa.org, or Barbara Ross at bross@cccnmo.org.
Sincerely yours in Christ…Most Reverend John R. Gaydos, Bishop of Jefferson City
