“Well, it’s great to be back. It was a great trip, a once in a lifetime experience, but it’s good to get home and back into the old routine. I want to thank everyone who kept things going here, especially Evelyn. A special thanks to the ladies who cleaned the rectory, to those who planted flowers, those who repaired the rectory air-conditioning and all who made the preparations for this week’s Camp Hope. I am back and using the same cell phone number and old e-mail address, so it’s often best to contact me on those. God Bless our children this week, and let’s continue working to make our parishes strong.”…Fr. Dave

Bishop’s Letter - Diocesan Mission Collection Appeal
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Next weekend is our annual Diocesan Mission Collection. This special appeal is an essential part of the long missionary tradition of our Local Church. Today our gospel is the familiar story of the Sower and the Seed. It is about how we are called to preach the Word of God (to everyone) and how we should personally embrace that Word (like deep fertile soil.) This parable also identifies the challenge of mission. Our missionary efforts are about preparing hearts to be transformed by God. The story is not just about the abundant harvest of the good ground, but the missionary call to make all soil receptive to the Word of God. Missionaries work tirelessly to remove the stones from the rocky soil and clear the thorns from overrun fields. The missionary believes that all ground can be made productive and a part of God’s harvest. The metaphorical obstacles of the parable are real challenges to modern missionaries. The thorns that choke the Word today are hunger, disease, and poverty. The rocks where seed cannot live are violence, despair and oppression. The mission help that you give feeds kids, digs wells, builds churches. It serves the sick and the poor from Peru to India. It transforms barren, lifeless land into rich fields that produce a hundredfold. Our Diocese has done this for over 50 years. It has been possible because of the generosity of our people through this annual collection. The only support for our missionary efforts comes directly from people like you in contributions specifically designated for the mission. Please help continue this tradition next weekend. There is still a lot of land to clear; still a lot of seed to be planted.
Sincerely yours in Christ…Most Reverend John R. Gaydos, Bishop of Jefferson City
