Cheese is in the Air!
It is hard to believe that the holidays are right around the corner. Here at Good Shepherd, that means yummy cheeseballs will once again be for sale. They are $10.00 each. All proceeds will benefit the 8th Grade Class Trip to St. Louis in May.
Orders will begin October 6th and conclude October 31st. Forms are available at the school office or on the table in the Narthex at church. The cheeseballs will be ready for pick up on November 18th and 19th from 2:30 – 3:30 in the Good Shepherd Cafeteria and after all weekend Masses November 20-21st.
Need them for Christmas? No worries! You can still order them now because these delicious cheeseballs can be kept in your freezers and thawed just in time for your Christmas parties!
Only a small number of extra cheeseballs will be ordered for walk up sales, so be sure to order in advance. You don’t want to miss these tasty treats.
Questions? Feel free to contact Michelle Fulton at mfulton@evdio.org or Matt Carey at mcarey@evdio.org .

We need your help to make our Booth a success. We have many available shifts that need to be filled to keep the Booth open the entire week. We have three and two hour shifts available. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to work in the Booth but younger volunteers 11 to 15 years old can also be used to sell drinks outside the Booth.

Three hour shifts are:

8:00 AM – 11:00 AM

11:00 PM – 2:00 PM

2:00 PM – 5:00 PM

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Two hour shifts are every two hours beginning at 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM (i.e. 8:00 – 10:00; 10:00 – 12:00 etc.)

(Please allow enough time to park and walk to the Booth before your shift.)

  We serve Giant Tenderloin Sandwiches, Corn Dogs, Munchen Rolls, “Just Rennie’s” Cookies and Pepsi Products, Iced Coffee and Lemonade

We will also need volunteers to help make the Munchen Rolls on Monday and Thursday evenings September 20, and 23, from 5 PM to 7:30 PM in the Parish Hall.

Working in the Booth is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to meet other parishioners. Grab a friend and sign up for a shift(s) today.

Sign-up sheets are available in the Narthex of the Church or call Ruth Becker in the Parish Office.

All proceeds from our Booth go directly to our twinned Parish in Haiti; St. Rose of Lima.

GRIEFSHARE UPDATE

GRIEFSHARE. This program features biblical, Christ-centered teaching that focuses on grief
topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected
grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what
was viewed. You will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse,
child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend. No matter what the cause of your loved
one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling.
You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and that you do not need to
live in bondage to certain emotions. You will learn valuable information about facing your new
normal in life and renewing your hope for the future. Confidentiality is a major part of this
program.

The next 13-week session will begin on Tuesday, October 5 from 6:00-8:00 pm in the Church
conference room. There is no fee to attend. Contact Sue Kroupa with any questions (812-449-
3740 or skroupa@evdio.org)

U.S. Bishop Chairmen Speak Out on U.S. Department of Justice Dismissal of a Case Involving Conscience Law
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that it is voluntarily dismissing a case against the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMC) that it had brought after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights found that UVMC forced a nurse to participate in an elective abortion against the nurse’s religious beliefs.

The Church Amendment, enacted in 1973, prohibits recipients of various federal health program funding from discriminating against health care personnel because of their religious beliefs or moral convictions about abortions. In the UVMC case, HHS found that UVMC not only engages in such discrimination, but on one occasion even deliberately deceived and coerced a nurse into assisting in an abortion.

Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee for Religious Liberty, and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas, chairman of the USCCB’s, issued the following statement:

“The U.S. Department of Justice is acting in dereliction of its duty to enforce the plain meaning of federal law. It is hard to imagine a more horrific civil rights violation than being forced to take an innocent human life. HHS found that the University of Vermont Medical Center forced a nurse, against her known religious beliefs, to do just that. This is not only deeply wrong, but a violation of federal law. We call on the Administration to stand up for the basic dignity of our nation’s health care workers by reopening this case, and on Congress to pass the Conscience Protection Act so that doctors and nurses can defend their own rights in court.”

View this release on the USCCB website.
