Open the Doors of Mercy...
IC--PSR Kicks Off August 19!
IC
A new year is starting for the Immaculate Conception Parish School of Reli-
gion (IC-PSR), with our kick-off celebration on Wednesday, August 19, from 6:30-7:30
p.m. in the gym on the Main St. campus.
Last year at this time, Russell Peterson wrote about how IC-PSR exists entirely to help
each other (from our catechists, aides, volunteers and parents all the way to our grade
school students) become “the best version of ourselves.”
As I begin my tenure as your Director of Faith Formation, I am so grateful that this intention has
been established. Heather Schaefer, our PSR Coordinator, has built on the work of former CRE Jim
Williams, and her team is amazing. IC-PSR people have already reached out to me with the best versions of themselves, excited about our program and full of ideas for the coming year. I am especially
heartened to see the number of IC-PSR “graduates” who are still actively engaged in our life of faith,
inspiring me with their youthful enthusiasm and willingness to serve.
Our IC-PSR theme this year – shared with RCIA, ICS, and all aspects of faith-building – is
“Open the Doors of Mercy,” based on a declaration by Pope Francis that the new church year will be a
Year of Mercy. Karen Lundy and MaryBeth Babcock have written a song to put this message firmly in our
Open the door of mercy, open the door, open the door
Open the door of mercy, God calls us. To
Open the door of mercy, let love in, let love in
Open the door, open the door
Live the way of mercy, kindness and truth
Forgiveness and peace
Live the way of mercy, kindness and truth, forgiveness and peace
Live the way of mercy, let love in, let love in
Open the door, open the door
Mercy brings serenity joy & peace
Let the wellspring of God’s love release!
Be the face of mercy, you are God’s hands, you are God’s feet
Be the face of mercy, you are God’s hands, you are God’s feet
Be the face of mercy, let love shine, let love shine
Open the door, open the door.
We’re ready to open the doors! If your family includes children attending
public school or homeschool, we invite you to be a part of IC-PSR!
New and returning IC-PSR students, PLEASE PRE-REGISTER! If we know you’re coming and
the (easy!) paperwork is already taken care of, we can jump right into teaching and – as Russ said –
“growing in truth and goodness.”
To pre-register, or if you have any questions, contact me (ext. 354) or Heather Schaefer (ext.
352) at the parish office.

Fr. Carl’s Little Reservoir...
I’ve seen it for eight years now, and every year my eyes still
tear up. When I and the upper grade students from Immaculate Conception School attend the annual Advent Prayer Service at Sister Thea
Bowman Catholic School in East St. Louis, and all the students from kindergarten through eighth grade process out carrying their violins and begin to play, I
don’t think I’m the only one there with tears in my eyes.
Sister Thea Bowman School is the only Catholic school in East St. Louis, and
is a ministry of our Diocese to the poor that provides a holistic learning approach
to faith development and education through music and the arts, inspiring, preparing and empowering the next generation. Nearly 95% of the students need financial assistance, which is a significant portion of the school’s budget.
Since 2010, our parish and school have had a partnership with Sister Thea Bowman School as part of our stewardship outreach to the poor. In your August envelope
packet, you will find a special envelope for STBS. This year, in honor of Russell
Peterson, who as our Director of Faith Formation, taught us by word and deed in the
spirit of Pope Francis to always keep the poor at the forefront of our mission, I’d like
to encourage you to join me in making a sacrificial gift to Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School. Once again, we have an anonymous donor who will match our gifts up
to $5,000. I’m proud to be the pastor of a parish which has contributed over $42,000
the past six years to this important educational outreach to the poor!
~Fr. Carl

Braxton, Ph.D, S.T.D, has approved our contract to sell the entire Main St. property,

that time more details can be disclosed about this transaction, which has been previously approved by our Parish Pastoral Council and Finance Council.

Weekend Retreat Offers Hope, Healing...
Society may tell women that an abortion will solve their problems, but it is silent
about the problems abortion creates. Women may feel anger, depression, guilt, or
shame for years after the abortion experience - often silently because they feel
ashamed or scared to share their pain. Project Rachel offers hope and healing for
women, regardless of how long it has been. A weekend retreat is being offered on
August 7-9 in the St. Louis area. This retreat offers a chance for women to ponder
God's great mercy and love. The retreat is held in a private, home-like setting. For
more information or to register, please contact Marisol at ihnpfaff@swbell.net or at
314.792.7451.

Thanks to all who have subscribed to our Diocesan newspaper, The Messenger. We are still about 100 subscriptions short of our goal of 20% of

please call the parish office. Thanks to a generous parishioner, we have Messenger scholarships available. You can subscribe by calling 2359601 or emailing cathnews@bellevillemessenger.org. Thank you!

Excerpt From: Laudato Si’ Encyclical
From Pope Francis…
Pollution and Climate Change
Some forms of pollution are part of people’s daily experience. Exposure to atmospheric pollutants produces a broad spectrum of health
hazards, especially for the poor, and causes millions of premature
deaths. People take sick, for example, from breathing high levels of
smoke from fuels used in cooking or heating. There is also pollution that
affects everyone, caused by transport, industrial fumes, substances
which contribute to the acidification of soil and water, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and agrotoxins in general. Technology,
which linked to business interests, is presented as the only way of solving these problems, in fact proves incapable of seeing the mysterious
network of relations between things and so sometimes solves one problem only to create others.
Account must also be taken of the pollution produced by residue,
including dangerous waste present in different areas. Each year hundreds of millions of tons of waste are generated, much of it nonbiodegradable, highly toxic and radioactive, from homes & businesses,
from construction and demolition sites, from clinical, electronic and industrial sources. The earth, out home , is beginning to look more and
more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish.
Industrial waste and chemical products utilized in cities and agricultural
areas can lead to bioaccumulation in organisms of the local population,
even when levels of toxins in those places are low. Frequently no
measures are taken until after people’s health has been irreversibly affected.
These problems are closely linked to a throwaway culture which
affects the excluded just as it quickly reduces things to rubbish. To cite
one example, most of the paper we produce is thrown away and not recycled. It is hard for us to accept that the way natural ecosystems work
is exemplary: Plants synthesize nutrients which feed herbivores; these in
turn become food for carnivores, which produce significant quantities
of organic waste which give rise to new generations of plants. But our
industrial system, at the end of its cycle of production and consumption,
has not developed the capacity to absorb and reuse waste and byproducts. We have not yet managed to adopt a circular model of production capable of preserving resources for present and future generations,
while limiting as much as possible that use of non-renewable resources,
moderating their consumption, maximizing their efficient use, reusing
an drecycling them. A serious consideration of this issue would be one
way of counteracting the throwaway culture which affects the entire
planet, but it must be said that only limited progress has been made in
this regard.
Respect Life Corner...
There is Hope After Abortion - “There is no grief like the grief that does not
speak.” Henry Longfellow. The grief over an abortion experience is often so deep
that it seems to be silent. Women and men may bear this burden for years thinking
that there is no hope of forgiveness or peace. Learn, Act, Connect, Pray: Project
Rachel and Project Joseph provide healing and hope to women and men wounded
by abortion. To learn more, go to ProjectRachel@archstl.org or ProjectJoseph@archstl.org. All inquiries are kept confidential. Pray that all those wounded by
abortion can begin the journey of healing and reconciliation.
