FROM RYAN’S DESK:
We have begun to look for a replacement of the two
acoustic pianos that are currently located in the Chapel
and Band Room at Manistee Catholic Central. The
current pianos have been around for many years,
and over time have held a tuning for shorter periods,
requiring multiple tuning throughout the year. It was
advised two years ago that we should look for a
replacement(s). In collaboration between Mr. Jason
Allen, Fr. Schaeffer, Mr. Don Digna, and myself, we
have decided on replacing both pianos with a new
digital piano. A digital piano does not require tuning,
as the sound is a recording that is played back
through speakers when a key is struck. The new
piano will be used for Mass in the Chapel, Gymnasium,
and other events within the school as needed. The
cost is $2,500. We are asking for donations to help
cover the cost of this new instrument that will serve
the needs of the school for many years to come.
Thank you for your continued support of Manistee
Catholic Central School and the Catholic Community
of Manistee.
Mr. Jason Allen, Principal
Fr. Rich Schaeffer, Pastor
Mr. Don Digna, Business Manager
Mr. Ryan McCauslin, Music Director
PROMISE TO PROTECT; PLEDGE TO HEAL
In an effort to protect all children and to promote healing,
the Diocese of Gaylord encourages victims of child
abuse or neglect to report the matter. In fact, many
professionals are required by Michigan State law to
report suspected abuse or neglect of a child or minor.
Individuals should contact their local office of the
Department of Human Services. If an allegation
involves sexual misconduct of a minor by clergy or
any employee of the Diocese of Gaylord, even if it is in
the past, individuals may also contact Tom Tenerovicz
at 989.732.5147.

It is not equal gifts, but equal sacrifice that we offer.
Please be as generous as you are able.
The phrase in today's Psalm, "May you see your children's children," is really a prayer for long life. The good
steward knows that every day is a gift from God, to be
lived with joy and thanksgiving. "May the Lord bless
us all the days of our lives!"
FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
In today’s Gospel, Jesus encourages married couples
to throw away the marriage rule book. Rules are for
those with “hardened hearts.” Married couples are
called to be a sacramental reflection of God’s faithful
and selfless love - a place where people live and love
beyond rules and formulas.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY, October 18, 2015
Sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith
World Mission Sunday is all about asking for our generous support of our Catholic Church’s endeavors to
spread the message of Jesus Christ throughout the
world. It is about reminding us to pray with and for, take
an interest in, and financially support our Church’s
missionaries and their communities especially in the
poorest regions of the world. Remember to pray for
the missions. (Visit: IAmAMissionary.org). Envelopes
can be found in your box of contribution envelopes.
