"Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when
the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect,
the Son of Man will come." - Lk 12:39-40

Welcome to St. Louis Parish!
We are blessed by your presence with us
today. Whether you are a long-time
parishioner, relatively new to the parish,
home from school, or visiting for the
weekend, we are grateful that you have
chosen to worship here at St. Louis
Catholic Church. As Roman Catholics, the
Holy Eucharist is the center of our lives,
and the source or our mission.
Nourished by the Word of God, we strive
to instill family values, promote social
justice, and foster life-long formation in
the Catholic faith. As we work together to
build a community dedicated to living the
Gospel, we commit ourselves to generous

our spiritual and material resources.

Raffle Tickets If you have not picked up your raffle tickets PLEASE do so this weekend. The
tickets are in the vestibule of the church.
Help Needed We are in need of 135 for the day of the festival. If you can donate a pie or two,
please call Diane Fullenkamp 812-934-3558.
Langen’s Steak Raffle Raffle tickets for the Langen’s Steak raffle are available in the parish office.
Tickets are $5.00 each and only 100 tickets are sold. These tickets were not
included with your packet of raffle tickets and are not sold the day of the festival.
Country Store Please consider donating jellies, pickles, beets, salsa, or any other
home canned goods you might have. Baked goods, sewn or knit/
crochet items are also needed. If you happen to have extra fresh
garden produce, please consider donating it to the Country Store.
Plant Stand The Plant Stand is in need of plants and bulbs. Please label your plants & bulbs
(name, description, color) and include any special care needed. Plants, flower
garden tools & yard ornaments may be dropped off at the Plant Stand the morning
of the festival. If you need help bringing your plants to the booth, please call Bill &
Pam Koehne, 812-663-5273.
Jars for Turtle Soup Clean, quart, half gallon and gallon jars may be dropped off on the front porch of
the parish office. Jars that are not true quart, half gallon and gallon size, cannot
be used for turtle soup. Please help by removing the labels and glue from the
outside of the jars.
Holy Land Arts at St. Louis Church Please accept our great appreciation for the opportunity
to market our Olivewood Handcrafted religious items at
St. Louis Church the weekend of August 24th & 25th.
With the hostilities worsening in the Holy Land and a lack
of Pilgrims visiting, the unemployment rate is almost 70%.
Many Christians have responded by fleeing the Holy Land. It is conceivable that all
Christians could leave. However, the absence of a living Christian community is
very dangerous for the Holy sites such as the Nativity Church in Bethlehem. By
buying these engraved pieces of art, you help strengthen the Christian presence in
the city of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, and the surrounding areas.
Proceeds go to the Christian families (the artisans) who have been working hard
for ages in this type of tourism related hand carvings. Purchasing one of these
unique items will help build new hope in keeping the Christian culture alive. For
further information, please visit www.theholylands.org or Email:
[email protected]. We continue to ask for your prayers until Peace prevails.
Mission Team Information Meeting Anyone in Grade 8-12 and their parents are invited to an informational meeting
about the 2020 Mission Trip to East Bank, West Virginia! The meeting will take
place on August 25th at 4:00pm in the St. Louis School Cafeteria. Come find out
if the TriForce MissionTeam is right for you! Stay for pizza after the meeting! Go to
triforcemissionteam.org or email [email protected] for more
information. High school Students - please stay for youth group 6:30pm-8:30pm in
the gym.
