SURVEY
 As
part of our ongoing effort to improve our fund raising, the Pastoral Council
has developed a survey to help plan fund raising events for our parish. A
copy of the survey is enclosed with this bulletin. It is also available
online at our website
www.saintcasimirparish.org or
link directly to the survey by typing in:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3FGFL9G.
We ask everyone to complete the survey. The results will help us make better
decisions regarding fund raising events in the parish.
CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN
Next weekend,
our parish will accept donations for the Catholic Communications Campaign.
These offerings help communicate the Gospel through Catholic social media
activities and enriches our faith through podcasts, television, radio and
print media. Half of all proceeds remain in our diocese and support local
needs. Please be generous.
PASTORAL

 This
weekend we begin the nominating process for new members of our Pastoral
Council. This year, we will be electing four members to our Pastoral Council
for a two year term beginning January 1, 2019. Application forms are
available in the Book Room and will be accepted through November 4, 2018.
Voting will begin November 18th and conclude December 2nd.

FALL
FUND RAISER
 Our
Eighth Annual Clambake/Steak Bake/Autumn Raffle will take place on
Saturday, October 27th, beginning after the 5:30 Mass in our
upper hall. Raffle tickets are now available at the back of the Church.
All parishioners are asked to pick up their envelope with Raffle tickets,
as this will save us the cost of mailing them to everyone.
This year we have a new caterer and are able to lower the prices and
improve the quality of our food. Dinner tickets are now available
after all the Masses at the main entrance to the church and in the hall
after the 10:00 Mass. They can also be purchased during the week at the
rectory during business hours. Ticket prices are: Clambake - $30, Steak-bake
- $35, extra dozen clams - $10. In addition to great food, there will be
plenty of refreshments, a basket auction, split raffles, and much more.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS to help with this project: to
set up, clean up, bake, and help in other ways. Please sign up in the
church’s main entrance to help us out. We look forward to seeing everyone on
October 27th.
PROGRAM BOOK
Again this year, we are printing a program book for our
Fall Fund-Raiser. Parishioners, Parish Organizations, and businesses are
invited to advertise or send their greetings showing support for our Parish.
An ad can be placed in the book for as little as $10. Ad forms are in
everyone’s ticket envelope. Additional forms are available at the back of
the church. Everyone is invited to participate.

Last weekend we announced that the Mass of the Anointing of the Sick will
be celebrated here on Sunday, October 14th at 12:00 noon. Many in
the parish may not understand this sacrament very well. In the “old days” it was
called “Extreme Unction” and was given when someone was at the point of death.
The teaching today is different.
The teaching we follow today is based on the Letter of St. James in the New
Testament. In the letter, St. James says the sick are to be anointed in order to
raise them up and save them. So the Church teaches that great care and concern
should be taken to see that the faithful whose health is seriously impaired by
sickness or old age, receive this sacrament.
The sacrament of Annointing of the Sick may be given to a person before
surgery, and elderly people who have become weakened even though no serious
illness is present. Sick children may be annointed if they have sufficient use
of reason to be strengthened by the sacrament. If the sick person recovers after
being annointed and later on falls ill again, or if during the same illness the
person’s condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. Although
the decision to receive this sacrament is left up to each individual, the
faithful should be anointed when the time is right and the sacrament should not
be delayed.
In the instruction on this sacrament, the Church reminds all of us that
those who are seriously ill need the special help of God’s grace in this time of
anxiety, “lest they be broken in spirit and, under the pressure of temptation,
become weakened in their faith.” So through the sacrament of anointing, Christ
strengthens the faithful who are afflicted by illness or injury, providing them
with the strongest support.
I urge everyone to take some time over the next few weeks to seriously
consider whether or not they will make use of the opportunity to receive this
sacrament.

Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice
