Rob Ostdiek rkostdiek@windstream.net or 402-228-9401, This is Kick-Off weekend atSt. Joseph! The Diocese of Lincoln is now embarking on an ambitious diocesan-wide capital campaign entitled the Joy of the Gospel. LDCCW OCTOBER PRO-LIFE DIAPER DRIVE One of the non-truths in the abortion debate is the notion that pro-life advocates care about the child in the womb and do nothing for pregnant women or for the children once born. The Diaper Drive is a great opportunity to support the women that choose life rather than abortion. Let’s all work together to make this Pro-Life Diaper Drive a great success. Listen to Spirit Catholic Radio for Diaper Drive announcements. It has become clear that the financial resources made available by the Joy of the Gospel will have a great impact on our parishes, our families, our youth, our children, our lay leaders, and our priests. THE COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY The items needed for the Food Pantry are coffee/tea, flour/sugar,shampoo/conditioner, fruit cups, soups, spaghetti & spaghetti sauce, pancake mix/syrup, canned fruit, pudding cups, hot/cold cereal, and monetary gifts are always welcome. You can leave the items in the grocery cart at the St. Joseph Church. FOOD PANTRY INGATHERING is November 15. The Food Pantry is in need of help with the Fall Ingathering by counting homes and delivering sacks. For more information or to help call Karen Mains at 223-8975. After much prayer, many years of consultation that began before Bishop Conley arrived, and a review of a feasibility study conducted late last year, we have embarked upon an historic project to ensure that the Church can respond to current demands and prepare for the next generation of Catholics. Joy of the Gospel, seeks to raise a minimum of $53 million to address key challenges across the Diocese of Lincoln including: 1) Catholic Education 2) Clergy Retirement 3) Seminarian Formation 4) St. Gregory the Great Seminary 5) New Evangelization and 6) our Parish initiatives. St. Joseph is participating in the ‘Pilot’ phase of the campaign with our goal to be completed by early December 2014. Most parishes in our diocese will begin and end in 2015. The goal of the campaign is to meet and explain, in detail, the complete goals and needs for Joy of the Gospel campaign. Volunteers are reaching out to the parish members on behalf of the parish, the diocese and Bishop Conley to present the campaign case statement. Please welcome and listen to what they offer should you receive a call. You will hear more about Joy of the Gospel at the parish in coming weeks.
