for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them
the necessities of the body, what good is it? –James 2:15-16
Youth Ministry Christopher Kerfoot • [email protected] past few weeks have been busy and exciting! We have sold parking spots at the each of Clemson’s home games and are raising a great deal of money for our Youth Ministry. While selling the spots, we also handed out free water bottles with our Bible verse for the year written on them. Jesus said, “Come and see.” – John 1:39 At our first Encounter of the year, we dove into this verse and considered how we are responding to Christ’s invitation to come and see. Please pray for us as we continue to dive into community and Christ’s Word.
Campus Ministry Fall Retreat Last weekend about 50 students attended our campus ministry’s Fall Welcome Retreat. Freshmen and others new to CSA spent the weekend together getting to know one another and building up their community of faith. Thank you to all who offered their support and prayers for our college students as they make their home here at Saint Andrew!

A Note From the PastorToday we’re celebrating the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, which is actually tomorrow, October 4. Fr. Bob and I are privileged to belong to the fraternity that formed around Francis and has been together since 1209. Francis had no intention of founding a religious order. But the power of his example drew men from all walks of life, each wanting to have what Francis had. (A reminder that evangelization works best by example!) When the number reached twelve, Francis – not a terribly good administrator – realized that the good of the Church required some sort of formal approval and oversight. At first, the Church authorities in Rome turned him down, rejecting the rule that Francis wrote. It was basically a string of Gospel quotes with admonitions to the friars to pay attention to these and make them come alive in how they got along and went about. Legend has it that, after a dream in which Pope Innocent III saw a little fellow dressed like Francis holding up a collapsing Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the pope’s cathedral as Bishop of Rome, Innocent relented. How could he say the Gospel couldn’t be lived? Unlike later groups (Dominicans, Jesuits …), Franciscans have no special work or project. (As some wag put it, “The friars were founded to do nothing, and they’ve always kept faith with that intention!”) Rather, the fraternity was all about living a Gospel way of life, irrespective of the tasks they would do to support themselves. And Francis was vocal about the friars’ need to work. He spoke of the “grace of working.” Begging was always to be a last resort. And so, over the centuries, the Franciscans have been involved in everything from manual labor to university professorships; from caring for the shrines in the Holy Land (we’ve been custodians there since the 13th century) to serving parishes of all shapes and sizes; from scientific research to soup kitchens; from military chaplaincies to spiritual directors of European royalty. In every place and situation, the common element is preaching (“using words if we must”) by the witness of daily living shaped by seeing life as God sees it. And to know how God sees life, Francis acted out the Christmas story and asked for the wounds of the Crucified Christ. (He wasn’t eager for pain – he wanted to know what God’s love for us felt like.) In the Christmas story, God sees flesh and blood as capable of manifesting divinity. In the Passion, God sees human life, even in its sinfulness, worthy of divine sacrifice. Those two perceptions were meant to guide how the friars live together and how to do whatever work the friars ended up doing. The core of Franciscan spirituality is life and work with a profound respect for each person as a sacrament of God’s presence, love, and compassion. In a word, loving as God loved. Nothing more and nothing less than the invitation extended to everyone – “come, follow me” and in whatever way one follows, to live with others as God in Christ lived with us. Amid all our current divisions and grappling with the issues that divide us, Francis and his legacy challenge us to solve our problems from God’s perspective of the people on each side of the issue. And that as different as our perceptions of life’s challenges may be, never forget that each of us was created to be filled with divinity and to live it with the generosity of the Cross. And make honoring and preserving that memory the heart of whatever solution we promote for resolving the issue. Fr. Dan

Healing Prayer Ministry DevotionLord of all, please bless our families. Whether formed by blood or by circumstance, make them holy. As you reveal yourself to us in three persons: Father, Son and Spirit, and in the relationship that flows among the three, may we find you in our relationships, which include our marriages, our families, our households, our communities, and our global humanity. May we look across all that divides us in these relationships and see family and love as a family ought to. For where two or three gather, You are in the midst, the One for whom we long so deeply. Amen. (Catholic Relief Service)
Peace and Justice Bob Fennell • [email protected] week’s tithe goes to the Catholic Climate Covenant. With the support of the US bishops and in partnership with other national organizations, Catholic Climate Covenant challenges Catholics to be aware of the effect our consumption habits have on the environment and the poor, as noted by Pope Francis in Laudato Si. Currently the CCC is urging the signing of an online petition to President Biden and the US Congress “to work beyond partisanship and create climate solutions to care for present and future generations and our common home.” Please consider signing at bit.ly/CatholicClimatePetition.
“…we are called to be instruments of God our Father, so that our planet might be what he desired when he created it… (Laudato Si #53)

Please contact Jamie Dean if you have any questions about where your children might fit in.
Prison Ministry Support Deacon John Leininger • [email protected] has been difficult for all of us through this pandemic, but the men in Perry Correctional Institution have not had any family or volunteer visitors since March 3, 2020, and SCDC is not expecting to allow visits before the beginning of the new year. They have missed three Kairos Retreats as well. Our parish has supported Kairos with homebaked cookies in the past. This year, that ecumenical group is asking a number of Upstate churches for a $300 cash donation each to send in cookies to all 800 men at Perry in October – when they would have otherwise held the Kairos retreat. COVID restrictions require the cookies to be store-bought rather than homebaked. In addition, as our parish did last year, we want to send food care packages this holiday season for the 16 Catholic men at Perry in place of our usual Christmas meal. In all, we need to raise a total of about $1,000 for these two efforts. If you can help with a monetary donation, it’s not too late. Please make your check payable to Saint Andrew Church with Prison Ministry in the memo line. Donations can be dropped in the collection basket, or mailed to the parish office (PO Box 112, Clemson, SC 29633). Whether or not you are able to donate monetarily, please continue to keep these men at Perry – along with all those incarcerated in our state – and their families in your prayers.

Caring for our Common HomeDuring the “Season of Creation” we have reflected on God’s love and our response to it though care for our common home– the earth and all that is in it .
Take Aways: Remember - We exist only in relationships: with God the Creator, with our brothers and sisters as members of a common family, and with all of God’s creatures within our common home.Return – Today we hear the voice of creation admonishing us to return to our rightful place in the natural created order – to remember that we are part of this interconnected web of life, not its masters.Rest – Today we need to find just and sustainable ways of living that can give the Earth the rest it requires, ways that satisfy everyone with a sufficiency, without destroying the ecosystems that sustain us.Restore – We need to do everything in our capacity to limit global average temperature rise under the threshold of 1.5°C enshrined in the Paris Climate Agreement, for going beyond that will prove catastrophic, especially for poor communities around the world.Rejoice – As we “witness how the Holy Spirit is inspiring individuals and communities around the world to come together to rebuild our common home and defend the most vulnerable in our midst.” – Pope Francis’ 2020 Season of Creation message
Triune God, help us to hear the cry of those in poverty, and the cry of the earth, so that we may
together care for our common home. Amen. As a faith-filled appeal to President Biden and the U.S. Congress, sign the Catholic Climate Petition and join your voice with thousands of individuals across the U.S.
