FROM FR. QUINT

Thanks to our ushers for counting people at Masses during the

month of September. We should really count parishioners at every

Mass and then put out approximately that number of altar breads

(hosts) so that the assembly would be nourished from the fruit of the

sacrifice just offered before their eyes. The priest MUST consume

Communion at the Masses he offers and the church strongly prefers

that the assembly would as well. Holy Communion is reserved in the

tabernacle primarily so our Lord may be taken to the sick and dying, as

well as offering a wonderful context of prayer. It is not meant to be a

storage space to provide for sufficient Communion at Masses. But that

aside, he are some thoughts on the count numbers in comparison with

times past.�

How tragic there are 1265 fewer people at our weekend Masses

than just 9 years ago. If we have that same attrition in the next 9 years

there will be fewer than 500 people worshipping at Masses on the

weekend � we would need about 2 Masses a weekend instead of the 9

that we currently offer. Clearly, just based on the numbers, we could

offer fewer Masses. That is heart breaking because already we have

far fewer Masses than in the past and the population of Dyersville �

increased by 500 (Dubuque County increased 3,000 and Delaware

decreased 1,000).�

There are countless factors that influence worship patterns: under-

standing of the real presence of Jesus in Holy Communion, family of

origin, schools, prayer, awareness of obligation, understanding of sin,

desire for heaven, parish life, church design, hospitality, music, �

preaching and so many more. We cannot sit back and hope that �

people will come to us for worship. Jesus fostered personal encounters

with people and sewed faith. We also cannot hesitate to share the joy

of our Catholic faith and to invite family, friends, coworkers and �

neighbors into worship and parish life.�

Other items:�

�� Monday is the feast of St. Luke. Take a moment and read a portion

of his beautiful gospel or some of the Acts of the Apostles which he

also wrote. Friday is the memorial of Pope St. John Paul II. We

give God thanks for this charismatic, holy, and learned pastor.�

�� Beckman Catholic will transfer from the WAMAC conference into

the River Valley Conference for fine arts and athletics with the

2022�2023 school year. Currently, we are the smallest school in

the WAMAC conference by over 100 students. We look forward to

this transition and continuing to excel.�

�� Please pray for the peaceful repose of Fr. John Hemann, retired

priest of the Archdiocese, who died this past week. He was one of

the 3 flying Hemann priest pilots and a brigadier general.�

�� See you at the Beckman Junior Breakfast today and at the �

Beckman Gala next Saturday night (Oct 23).�

�� Welcome to our Confirmation candidates at 8:30 am Mass today.�

�� This weekend the Knights of Columbus will conduct their annual

Tootsie Roll Drive at St. Boniface, SS. Peter & Paul, St. Joseph

and St. Paul.�
