L S I C Due to the priestly ordinations on Thursday, August 2 there will be no 6:30pm Adoration. The normal schedule will resume the following week. B S E If you have not yet been enrolled in the Brown Scapular, you will have an opportunity to do so on Friday, August 3 and Tuesday, August 7. After the 6:30pm evening Mass you can present yourself at the Mother of Perpetual Help Altar and be enrolled by one of the priests at the Oratory. Please bring your own Brown Scapular! Please call the Rectory ahead of time if you would like to receive the scapular on either of these two days. G A If you are unable to receive Holy Communion due to a serious allergy to gluten, and wish to receive these consecrated Hosts, please be at the end of the Communion line and let the priest know that you need the low-gluten Hosts.

4 D S H F We are pleased to announce that, with the assistance of our friends at the law firm of Stinson Leonard Street LLP in St. Louis, a new legal entity, the DeSales Heritage Foundation, has been created. DeSales Heritage Foundation is a public charity, tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). All donations made to the Foundation are therefore tax deductible according to IRC Section 170. The governing instrument of this newly-established Foundation provides that its purpose is to promote and support the restoration, preservation and improvement of our church building, an historically and architecturally significant structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We anticipate this narrow objective will encourage companies, associations and other entities that may not wish to support religion, as such, to contribute. The new DeSales Heritage Foundation has already been approved by The Boeing Company as an eligible organization for the Boeing Cash Matching Program! Many corporations match donations made by employees to a recognized non-profit, such as DeSales Heritage Foundation. Please inquire about your company s employee gift matching program and guidelines. If you need to provide details to qualify DeSales Heritage Foundation for your company s program, please contact Mr. Charles A. Redd at (314) or charles.redd@stinson.com.

Any clothes or small household items that your family no longer needs may be placed in this large blue bin. Our local chapter of the SVdP then receives money for these donations which enables them to purchase household items for those in our neighborhood who need a helping hand. S, A 12 G T S G W Mr. Bob Shea gives a 60-minute guided tour of the stained glass windows of our church. (These tours are offered, regularly, on the 2nd Sunday of every month after the 10am High Mass.) Each month these tours are slightly different, emphasizing different aspects of the more than 35 windows, which were installed over a hundred years ago by Emil Frei & Associates. The tours are free of charge. Please bring your binoculars. P R R August Abortion can leave deep, unresolved wounds in the hearts and souls of women.

8 TO ALL OUR GUESTS Canon Wiener and the faithful of St. Francis de Sales Oratory welcome you, and hope that your time in the Cathedral of South St. Louis may be an opportunity to share in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Faith. Please enjoy the beauty of this building dedicated to St. Francis de Sales, co-patron of the INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST. According to liturgical tradition, and the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, Holy Communion is received kneeling and on the tongue. All visitors who are not of the Catholic faith are welcome to join us in prayer, but are requested not to receive Holy Communion. Because the reception of Holy Communion is the sign of Divine and Ecclesial unity, only practicing Catholics who are free of mortal sin, and in full communion with the Catholic Church should present themselves for Holy Communion. We pray for the full visible unity among all Christians. To receive more information about the Oratory or if you desire to become a member of the Catholic Church, contact the rectory. St. Francis de Sales Oratory is an Oratory of the INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
