On Losing and Gaining
Christ has a
strange arithmetic. Consider His words that giving actually results in a
plus for the giver: “Give and it will be given to you. Save your life
and you will lose it. On the other hand, to lose one's life for Christ's
sake, is to find life real life, abundant life.”
Serious
followers of Christ have found these paradoxical promises to be true.
They learn that losing one's life for Christ's sake leads to a
contentment of spirit found nowhere else in life. What may seem like a
sacrifice or hardship turns into genuine joy. As one missionary to
Africa who had suffered much in Christ's service testified, “I have
never made a sacrifice in my life. I have gained far more than I have
ever given up by serving the Lord.” So it may be with each of us.
COLLECTING SHOES AGAIN! Steve & Nancy Peyton will once
again be collecting “good, used shoes” for the Shoeman Project. If you

Steve & Nancy at the Fall Festival Country Store.

Fall Festival plans for 2011 are progressing very well. Thanks to all
those who have called and volunteered to remain in the same booth they
worked last year. We think we have everyone in place to be in charge of
the various booths and areas of the picnic! We still need all the

that would be great! Remember, if you have family living out of state
ask them to mail an item to the Parish. These have proved to be very
popular at the Parcel Post Booth!
Placemat Sponsorship ads were sent out to all those who participated
last year. If you are interested in placing an ad on the placemat used
at the dinner please contact the parish office at 438-6181. These do not
have to be just business ads but also “in memory” of a loved one or a
“happy anniversary” or “birthday” ad! These ads are $25! What a way to
surprise someone for that special day! We have several open spots on our
placemat for ads so call today to get your ad in!
Janie Skiles is requesting Home-made Desserts for the Fall Festival, so
begin to make plans now to donate several baked goods! We receive the
most requests for PIES & SUGAR FREE desserts, so if you can provide
something along this line it will be greatly appreciated! We get a lot
of compliments on the great home-made desserts at Old Mines!
NEEDING!!! DECORATIONS FOR THE FALL FESTIVAL: Debbie
Phipps is looking for “oil lamps” to use on the tables in the cafeteria

At St. Joachim, we believe in strengthening values, supporting families,
developing partnerships,
enlightening minds, and building foundations.
From the Principal’s Desk
We are so excited to have the opportunity to touch so many little people’s
lives. The teachers and catechists are dedicated and faithful Catholics who
take very seriously the mandate of Christ to carry on His Mission of

They, also, award grants of $500 annually to eligible parishioners who
attend St. Pius High or another Catholic High School.

INTERESTING BITES OF INFORMATION:
Panem Pacem
The two Latin words “panem” (bread) and “pacem” (peace) are very similar. In
Leonard Bernstein’s theatre piece MASS, the composer uses this similarity to
highlight the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) section. There is a struggle between
celebrant and congregation which explodes into music, dance and
understanding. The underlying message seems to be this: “Don't you
understand that your peace (pacem) can only come through Christ who is the
Bread (panem).” The frustration that we feel as Christians sometimes comes
from trying to build peace (pacem) without centering our efforts in Christ (panem).
This could very well help us to understand why the greeting of peace comes
so close to our reception of Eucharist. We should not receive Christ in
Eucharist Bread without a willingness to accept Christ in our neighbor.
Rite of Peace
Q: Why is it that the priests are no longer supposed to come down to greet
the people at the Rite of Peace?
A: That part of the Mass has a special purpose. The rite of peace is a
preparation for Holy Communion. When I greet those around me I am saying
ritually, “I believe in the presence of Jesus in people” (symbolized by
those around me). Only when I have accepted the Christ in my neighbor can I
be ready to accept the Christ who comes in Eucharist. Properly understood,
the rite of peace is really an immediate preparation to the breaking of
bread rite. To elongate it and try to include everyone we can reach is to
somehow miss its purpose as a ritual preparation for communion.
