Thank You: My children and I are extremely grateful to our St. Joseph's Parish family for the many acts of kindness and prayers that you have offered for us over the past weeks. We especially thank Fr. Tony Bickett, Fr. Dave Johnson, Fr. Richard Meredith, Deacon Dale DePoyster, T.J. Dennison, Bethany Kannapel, Marv Mantooth and servers, Chloe and Forest Collard, who assisted our family with the beautiful memorial Mass for Phyllis. The St. Joseph's Altar Society, Pineview Nursery, parishioners and friends; you all outdid yourselves with the wonderful meal you provided for our family and friends. A "Thank You!" seems inadequate for the sincere appreciation we feel. May God bless each of you. Kenneth Minton, and family St. Joseph Prayer List: Josh Ammons, Laska Anderson, Mary Beckner, Bonnie Blanton, Pat Boone, Troy Burkhart, Alton Cannon, George Cannon, Anna Critchelow, Mary Davis, Bob Deweese, Delbert Durham, Ken Farris, Camila Falcon, Dick Gatto, Sheila Gibson, Linda Handus, Rick M.

Church participation leads men to become more engaged husbands and fathers. Those who go to church more than once a week enjoy better health than those who attend only once a week.

Reflection on the Readings: For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45) If you held a mirror up to your life, would it reflect God s love and mercy? If you are struggling with this, try changing your attitude from I want more to thank you God for everything you have given me, I have enough to share. This change in perspective will bring you joy through service to others. Box of Joy: Please return by November 1. Koinonia: Koinonia is a Greek word that means community. This is also the name of a Catholic retreat weekend to be held at St. Elizabeth from Friday-Sunday, November 16-18. For more information contact Amy DePoyster 270-230-6817 or Beth Geary 270-589-2601.
