Did You Know
What are those clothes the priest wears at Mass?
The clothes a priest wears when celebrating the
Eucharist are called vestments. There are three pieces
to the complete set of vestments: alb, stole and
chasuble.
The alb is a long, white garment worn over his regular
clothes. The meaning of the alb is found in the rite of
Baptism. In that rite the newly baptized is presented a
white garment with the words “…you have become a
new creation and have clothed yourself in Christ”. As
Baptism is the first sacrament, the alb, evoking that
sacrament, is the first vestment put on by the priest.
The next garment donned is the stole, a long scarf-like
garment worn over the shoulders. In ancient Rome
the stole was a sign one held imperial office, somewhat
like a uniform. After Christianity became tolerated
and then favored in the empire it became the custom
for ordained ministers to wear a stole as a sign of their
office. That custom endures. As a sign of being in Holy
Orders deacons wear a stole diagonally across their
chest. Priests and bishops wear a stole over the
shoulders and both ends hanging down in front.
Lastly, the priest puts on the chasuble, a long
sleeveless garment that covers most of his body. Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI explains “The liturgical attire
worn by the priest during the celebration of Holy Mass
should, first and foremost, make clear that he is not
there as a private person, as this or that man, but
stands in the place of Another – Christ. What is merely
private, merely individual, about him should disappear
and make way for Christ”. Further “It is not he himself
who is important, but Christ. It is not he himself whom
he is communicating to men, but Christ. He makes
himself the instrument of Christ, acting, not from his
own resources, but as the messenger, indeed as the
presence, of Another – in persona Christi . . .”
(The Spirit of the Liturgy).
Prayer Chain
There are 76 Prayer Warriors signed up on the

More in
Locked in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Box
Do you need others to pray for you or for your
situation, but don't want to share the details? Then
write your petition on the small papers on the table
next to the gifts at the back of the church and place the
paper in Sacred Heart of Jesus box.
Every mass the second lector carries the box forward
to the altar, so with all the angels, saints, and our
parishioners we can pray and lift your prayer t heaven.
Last year the box was so full of prayers we had to pry
them out of the box. You only need one paper as the
Lord knows the fluidity of the situation.
Never stop praying! Never stop asking for prayers
from others!!!
Lost & Found
If you have lost items in the Church, please check the
lost and found box in the Parish Hall.

DIOCESAN NEWS
Diocesan Stewardship Message
January 1, 2017 (The Octave Day of Christmas Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God)
Today’s second reading reminds us that through Christ we have been
delivered from the law and become sons and daughters of God. New
Year’s Day provides a perfect opportunity to ask ourselves the question:
Does my life reflect y gratitude for all that my loving Father has given
me?
Capital Campaign
Grateful for Our Past...Preparing for Our Future Will Support and Establish Endowments
Over the past few weeks we have announced that the diocese seeks to secure its future in God’s service by conducting a
capital campaign. The funds raised in the Grateful for Our Past...Preparing for Our Future campaign will allow the diocese
to augment existing endowments for preparing our future priests and priest retirement, and to establish a new endowment for youth formation.
An Endowment is a fairly simple concept. The principal, revenues placed in such a fund, remains untouched with only the
earnings on its investments used to address stated needs.
Prudent stewardship dictates that we take care of the gifts entrusted to us today, as well as prepare for their preservation
in future years. Our forebears sacrificed to leave what we have today in our parish and diocese. We too must look to
leave a lasting gift to those who follow us in our faith.
The endowment funds will:
 Generate earnings to address needs of the areas outlined; the principal of the endowment funds will not be
touched;
 Grow through future gifts and contributions;
 Be managed by professional investment managers and monitored by the Diocesan Finance Council and the
Investment Committee; and
 Operate under the responsibility of the Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau.
Who will be asked to support this campaign?
Every Catholic household in the diocese will be asked to prayerfully consider a gift to Grateful for Our Past…Preparing for
Our Future.
How are parishes asked to participate?
Parishes are asked to conduct their individual campaigns for Grateful for Our Past…Preparing for Our Future. These efforts
will be based on four principles: prayer, personal visitations, proportionate requests and pledge-type giving.
Why emphasize personal visits?
Individual visits emphasize the personal nature of giving, allow for
a thorough presentation of the campaign case, give potential donors the
opportunity to ask their own questions and allow visitors to express their
enthusiasm. In addition, personal visits place a greater emphasis on
stewardship, allowing the volunteer to share his/her own faith experience
and participation. In summary, personal contact remains the single best
way to ask for support.
