I hope you had time to visit Denning Hall after Mass to look at the plans, talk to the volunteers and watch the campaign video. If you didn t get a chance to see the video, please check it out on the parish website. It is really well done! Many thanks to Ryan Burchett for taking the lead in putting this together. You should be receiving a case statement in the mail in the next few days. Please take some time to carefully read through the information and pray about how you can support the campaign. Our capital campaign theme is Glorifying God in Gratitude and Gift. To be honest, this wasn t my top choice for the theme, but now I m glad that I was out-voted. The more time I ve had to reflect on this theme, the more I am thankful that we adopted it as our motto. Sometimes I think it is easier to get caught up in our needs and worries rather than to take the time to appreciate all of our blessings. This reminds me of a story I saw circulating on the internet about a mom who was depressed and overwhelmed by the state of her house. There were piles of laundry on the floor, stacks of dishes in the sink, bathrooms to be cleaned and beds to be made. Then, she realized that the laundry meant that her kids had Questions to ponder this week: How has God blessed your life this past week? clothes to wear, and the dishes meant that they had food to eat. The dirty bathrooms meant that she had indoor plumbing and the unmade beds meant that her family had a warm and comfortable place to sleep. How often are we blind to God s loving care for us? Do we take the time to say thank you? Do we find a way to show that we are grateful? Do we trust that God will continue to provide for our needs? I think this campaign provides us a valuable opportunity to reflect and respond to these important questions. In closing, I want to share an excerpt from an article that inspired our campaign committee. It was written by Bishop Emeritus Sam Jacobs and is entitled, God Can t Be Outdone in Generosity. God has blessed each one of us in ways beyond our comprehension or expectation. The proper response to blessings received is heartfelt gratitude. We know that we can never equalize the many blessings of God because his blessings are constant, continual and overabundant Who can pay God back for the gift of physical life? For the gift of eternal life? For the forgiveness of our many sins even those of the future? For his everlasting love? For his manifold blessings? For good health? For the freedoms we enjoy? There is no end to his blessings. There should be no end to our generosity in thanksgiving. What can you do to say thank you to God for the blessings that you have received?

Meet Our Capital Campaign Honorary Co-Chairs We are very grateful for the support and legacy of service embodied by the Capital Campaign Honorary Co-Chairs. Jack and Joyce Arth: The Arths moved to Davenport in 1977 and have been members of St. Paul's for 39 years. When they first arrived here, two of their children were in high school and went to Assumption while the younger two attended St. Paul's School. Joyce was most involved in various aspects of volunteering for the school and church. Jack and Joyce share that "after thirty nine years of friendships and involvement, St. Paul's is very dear to us. The school and church friendships that we have had here and all the Sacraments we've received, our children and us, it's just been like a home to us." Pat and Fran Driscoll: Pat and Fran joined St. Paul's in 1978. All six of their children and now, three (soon to be five) grandchildren were/are students at St. Paul School (SPS). Over the years they were involved with things like School Board, CEW, the liturgical ministries, RCIA, adult education and many other things. Pat and Fran are endorsing the campaign because "We believe our facilities need to be maintained and upgraded, and that all parish members who are able to help and participate should do so. Upon learning of the many needs of the church and school buildings it was easy to commit to supporting this campaign. The pride we take in our parish facilities is not unlike how we feel about our homes. It serves as an indication of our commitment to our families and the importance of our lives lived there. How much greater even is what takes place in the space where we worship and encounter God. Committing to this campaign is one way to offer praise and thanksgiving for the countless blessings we enjoy." Deacon Bob McCoy and Pat McCoy: The McCoys shared that four generations of their family have worshiped at St. Paul the Apostle. Over the years, Pat was involved with music, Altar and Rosary and the prayer shawl ministry. Deacon Bob has been part of parish council, maintenance, CEW and assisted in the role of a Deacon for the parish. The McCoys believe that "the church and school need to be a safe and inviting area to encourage involvement. The parish has served thousands of people over the last 107 years, maintaining and updating the church will ensure a positive and safe future. The St. Paul's community has supported our family through many joyful and stressful times. CEW was instrumental in Bob applying for the deaconate and CEW showed us the importance of community prayer." Pat and Peg McCauley: Peg and Pat have been members of St. Paul's for almost forty years. They have a blended family of seven children and 13 grandchildren. Their children attended SPS and they've been involved with CEW, parish council, coaching, RCIA and St. Paul's Works. Pat also served as the St. Paul's youth minister for 12 years. They believe in the campaign because "We want to continue and expand the wonderful work of faith formation and education our family has experienced at St. Paul's. We feel it s important to come together and create opportunities for youth and adults to be Catholic and influence those we work and socialize with. This campaign has been a collaborative effort to understand what families want and need to worship, educate and congregate in their second home." Throughout the year they have appreciated "the people and how welcome each of us felt when we left the area for a job and returned." And rest assured, "the campaign is in (their) prayers." Thank you so much for your continued leadership in our community. We are so blessed to have such incredible witnesses of what it means to be an intentional disciple!

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE Dear Parishioners, In the next few days you will receive the campaign case statement for our Glorifying God in Gratitude and Gift Capital Campaign here at St. Paul. I ask that you carefully review the cover letter and the contents of the case statement. Our goal is that it will help you better understand what it is we hope to accomplish with this campaign and why it is so important to the future of the parish. As you read through these materials, consider these words and what St. Paul has meant to you, your family and your faith St. Paul s Parish has meant so much to us for over 30 years. It is like our extended family, a place where we have experienced the celebrations and sorrows of life with those who share in our journey in the Catholic faith and our love of Christ. It is our time to step up and give to this faith family that we cherish so dearly. We are excited to lead this campaign and optimistic in its success to make the much needed improvements that will enhance our parish as we can only hope to glorify God in all we do. -Don and Mary Adams, Campaign General Chairs Altar and Rosary will be delivering homemade meals on Wed, October 5.
