The new Copper Cross and Base were put in place this past week. Deacon Mark was courageous enough to go to the top of the steeple and bless this symbol of our faith. This project has taken seven weeks. I remember the first day when the crane was extended as far as it could go. One of the workers was standing on his tip toes to lift the cross off of its base. For a moment it looked like he was slipping and all I could think of was an impending disaster. However, he got it up and over and on to his shoulder. Whew!!! A prayer answered. Then when the cross got down to the ground and we inspected it, we discovered a bullet hole. Of course, we don’t know who, when, where, and why this bullet was shot through our cross. (It will be one of the questions we can ask our Lord when we get to heaven!) Compared to the beautiful copper cross that is now atop our steeple, this old tin cross looks pathetic. However, I have a few thoughts about the old cross. If it could speak to us, it would have some great stories to tell. It has looked over Appleton for more than a hundred years. It saw dirt roads become concrete and small wooden buildings become large office complexes. How many people did it see walking into our church to worship God? It weathered some severe storms and continued to be a sign to the Fox Valley of the faith and dedication of St Joseph parishioners. As we retire this old tin cross, we offer a prayer of thanks for all that it represents in our long history. Thanks be to God! Festival Wrap-up Meeting This Monday, October 13, there will be a wrap-up meeting of our Festival Committee in Holly Hall at 6:30 p.m. If you’d like attend, please come and join us in evaluating how it all went on the weekend of Sept. 13/14.

This Pictorial Directory will be a reflection of our membership. The last one was done about ten years ago. So, it’s time to do another one. A Pictorial Directory can be a community builder. It helps us know each other and celebrates different committees and activities in the parish. Photos will be taken in November and January in the hope that your college kids can be around. We’d like to have everyone who is a member of St Joe’s have their photo in our book. If you have your photo taken, you get a “free” copy of the Pictorial Directory and an 8 x 10 portrait. You can make an appointment for your photo in three different ways: Through the parish website: www.saintjosephparish.org. (The only time the website is NOT available is from noon on Friday till noon on Monday. This allows us to schedule those who sign up after Masses on the weekend.) After weekend Masses in the Great Hall for the next four weeks. Calling the parish office (734-7195). If you make your appointment through our website, you will receive a $10 discount for any pictures you purchase. Again, this is an important parish project. It will be successful if everyone is willing to make an effort to schedule an appointment. Please encourage others to join in by your own enthusiasm and support of this project. Would you like your photo made into a Christmas card or Gift? Have your picture taken prior to November 25th for cards,,, and December 10 for portraits. NEW DATES are being added to our times. Rosary During the Month of October October has traditionally been the month of the rosary. We will offer this prayer in honor of the Blessed Mother a half hour before each of our Masses (except Sunday 6:30 p.m. Mass) during October. Can you make an effort to join us in praying for the needs of our world as we honor Mary? Job Opening “Maintenance Person” There is an immediate opening for a parttime maintenance person here at St Joe’s. It would be 15-20 hours a week.

Be a part of the “Family Album.” “PAST PASTORS” of St Joe’s Past Pastor # 14 Ludger Werth (1915-1918) was born in Germany like all of the previous Capuchin pastors. Ludger was a man of indomitable energy and driving will power. Whatever he set his hand to, he did with sweeping vigor. Wherever he labored, he made hosts of friends. Soon after his arrival, Fr. Ludger was plunged into enlarging the friary. Altho a new friary had been built in 1890, it had become too small for the growing religious community. The cost of $11,440 was borne entirely by the friars with generous help of a kindly donor, a simple working woman, who insisted her name never be made known! [Does anyone know who she is?????] When the friary was just completed an unexpected development regarding the hall was schemed by city hall. Since the new YMCA building had been erected at this time, its officials claimed tax exemption. City officials did not want to lose this source of revenue and announced that exemption could be claimed only on the grounds of educational purposes. So they extended taxation to all church recreational centers. As a result St Joseph’s hall was assessed a tax. Since such taxes imposed a heavy burden on the parish, an appeal was made to the state government. A decision was handed down in Madison stating the religious institutions must not be taxed. [Thanks be to God] During the summer of 1917 attention was again called to the cemetery when an appropriate stone arch was placed at its entrance. Altho much attention was given to landscaping the grounds, little had been done for such monumental construction, save for the crucifix in the middle of the cemetery. Laster much more was accomplished in this regard, so that St. Joseph’s Cemetery became one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the state! Please support our advertiser of the week.
