Bishop Paprocki Wants Your Feedback! The Diocese of Springfield in Illinois will be conducting a campaign planning study throughout October and November, and Bishop Paprocki would like to hear from you. The study will gather feedback on a potential dioc-esan-wide capital campaign to support the education of our seminarians. A high level of participation is needed to aid the bishop in making an informed decision about whether to move forward with a campaign. The Steier Group, a Catholic development fundraising firm, has been hired to conduct the study. A final recommenda-tion on the viability of the campaign will be made in ear-ly December. The study will provide everyone with an opportunity to share their thoughts through a combina-tion of personal interviews, mail/online surveys, and town halls to be held at locations throughout the dio-cese. There will be regular updates in our bulletin in the weeks to come with more details on how you can participate. Stay tuned!

Community 55 Alert! Mark your calendars for Community 55 social gather-ing ! We will resume Wednesday, October 16. Watch the bulletin for further details!

Dear Parishioners, This past weekend I gave the annual parish financial talk. It is a talk that I really hate to give, but it is made so much easier because of the generosity and commitment of the parish family of Our Lady Queen of Peace. I would like to thank all of you who are commi ed to the parish mission of bringing the love of God to Catholics in Bethalto and the surrounding communi es that make up our parish family. You are all a great blessing. I would ask that you con nue to be that blessing to the members of our parish family who have stopped coming to mass. Invite the peo-ple you know who have fallen away from the prac ce of their faith to come back home. Ask your friends to come with you to mass on a weekend, and maybe you will be the catalyst that put them back on the road that leads to eternal life. (What More Can We Do For Jesus) Father Tom
