Mission

We, the parish of St. Isidore the Farmer, are dedicated to growing a life-long Catholic community. Believing in the Risen Christ, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to celebrate the Eucharist, to be nourished by the Word of God, and to serve the needs of the local

and worldwide community.

Stewardship

St. James warns in today’s second reading that those who hoard their wealth and live only for themselves will be condemned. But in the Gos-pel, Jesus assures us that all who give of themselves for His sake will be

rewarded.

Vocation View

The Lord calls many to service in the church. How can you, in prayer, love, and action, support those who are called to service as priests and

religious? (Mark 9:38-43)

October Count: Archbishop Jackels asks that each parish in the Archdiocese take a count of persons attending Mass for four weekends in October. This annual gathering of information can help parishes in planning Mass schedules that encourage quality and prayerful celebrations. It will also be helpful in Archdiocesan planning to assure the availability of sacraments, religious educa-tion and active faith communities in light of the number of availa-

ble priests.

40 Days for Life began September 23, 2015 and will continue until November 1, 2015. Prayers will be said on the sidewalk out-

daily devotionals — one for each of the 40 days of the campaign.

Music Ministry Notes

Well, this is Farewell, St. Isidore! In 20 years of playing at your liturgies (off and on), you have become an in-credibly special parish to me. Of all the churches I’ve worked in over the years, you are the “singingest” parish I ever did accompany. What a pleasure to play for such a gifted and willing faithful. I will pray you find just the right person to bang out your music next. I’ve no doubt you will inspire someone the way you inspired me that day many years ago when I came to Mass here for the

first time. God bless and keep you ….and never quit

singing glory to God!

Yours fondly, Charlotte Niederhauser
