@padregeoffrey10 years ago almost to the very day, definitely to
the very week,
we were sitting in a “failed” Bible study, just the two of us,
at @comonewman. You walked in and said, “I think God may be calling
me to religious life.” I responded, “I think he may be calling me
to the priesthood.” Today, we stood in the shadows of St. Peter’s
Basilica, as a priest and sister.
Welcome Zulma & Claudia from El Salvador

One MilliOn Friends
"I want to create the peace of the future. I want to sing my
song. I want to have a million friends and stronger will I be able
to sing." These lyrics are taken from the song "Un millon de
amigos" by Roberto Carlos and is the song that has been performed
for every delegation from our parish that has gone to visit our
sister parish in El Salvador over the past five years. It is
comforting to know that both the people of our parish and the
people of the parish of La Libertad long for a future of peace that
is long overdue in El Salvador.
I was honored to be able to travel to El Salvador with a student
delegation in the spring of 2016. It was a vulnerable time for as I
had just lost my father right after Christmas at the end of the
year before. Honestly, I was not sure that I had the strength to
make the trip. But I trusted that God would provide as He always so
graciously has in my life.
What can I say about my experience? Words cannot give due
justice. I met a people who had been through so much and yet still
loved so deeply and so fiercely. I met a people who had lost loved
ones and could easily have given up, yet resolved to create
organizations to help move those left behind forward and create a
better future for all. I met a people who were more than gracious
hosts and loved the opportunity to share about their country, a
country they still took pride in even though it had been through
very dark times.
We have had the distinct honor the past few days to host two
individuals who many of us have met during our travels to El
Salvador, Zulma Hernandez and Claudia Martinez. Zulma works for
Cripdes Sur, a regional branch of CRIPDES, a nationally and
internally recognized grassroots organization that works in over
300 rural communities in El Salvador to promote increased access to
development, basic services, employment, and improved living
conditions for inhabitants of these communities. Claudia works for
SHARE, an organization that strengthens solidarity between the
people of El Salvador and the people of the United States in their
struggle for economic sustainability, justice, and human and civil
rights. Please consider speaking to these two wonderful women in
the Gathering Space after Mass.
Did God provide for me on my trip to El Salvador? He most
certainly did. He showed me that even through darkness and pain can
emerge beauty and love. He showed me that hope never leaves us and
we must never abandon it because through it we can build something
new. "Behold, I make all things new." I pray that the people of our
sister parish arise from the ashes of their troubled past through
their commitment to loving each other more deeply and serving each
other more fully. And may we do the same for them from afar, truly
creating a greater community of one million friends, longing for a
future of peace for all.

NEWMAN NIGHT AT THE FOOD BANKOur usual night is the second

the first time. If you've never volunteered at the Food Bank, give
it a try this month. There are jobs for anyone 9 years old, or
older. For those of you who can't stand for a longer lengths of
time, they supply tall chairs that allow you to work while sitting
or you can label bags sitting down. Bring friends or family
members, if you’d like. All are welcome. The Food Bank requires
that volunteers not wear open-toed shoes, such as flip-flops, as a
safety concern and to arrive by 6 p.m. If you have questions,
please call Gloria Young at 573-673-3070. Please RSVP to serve at
the Food Bank on the website at the sign-ups page.
NOVEMBER: REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES"We believe that all the

participate in remembering and praying for those who have gone
before us.

for resident and student parishioners to put pictures of deceased
loved ones. Pictures may be left in the sacristy prior to November

to pick up the pictures at the end of November. If you have a
digital picture to be included in the digital picture frame, please
email a jpeg version of the photo to [email protected].
Be sure to include the name of the deceased and their birth/death
dates.
• Book of Names of Those Who Have Died: The "Book of Names of

USCCB CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENTIn the weeks before
Thanksgiving, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
conducts the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. In the United
States, one in seven people lives in poverty. With this collection,
you support programs that address the causes of poverty and provide
a sustainable future for those who are struggling across the
country. In addition, 25 percent of funds collected remains in our
diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects. At St. Thomas More
Newman Center, we set aside funds from the offertory every month to
tithe to the campaign instead of having a second collection. To
find out more information about the campaign or to give a personal
donation, visit www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.
JOIN THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS CHOIRAll children in second grade
or older are invited to sing or play an instrument in the choir for

should RSVP to Kelley at [email protected] if their kids

about it. It is not too late, and no gift is too small. If you
misplaced your letter from Bishop McKnight, look for a CSA envelope
in the Gathering Space. You can also make a pledge by going online

difference:
1. Share Newman’s posts on your social media. Tell your family
and friends why they should support the ministries here.
