From The Desk of Msgr. Matthew Mitas: REMEMBER THAT AUGUST IS THE MONTH OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT!

COME CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF ST. LOUIS AT PIPER’S CHAPEL

Dr. & Mrs. Piper (Terry & Judy) have a beautiful chapel attached to their home in Cottleville, and in their

benevolence, they make it available to all the faithful of our Archdiocese. We have benefited from that kind-

ness in the past, and now the Piper’s are inviting us to their home once again to celebrate the big feast of our

Archdiocese, namely, the feast of our diocesan patron himself, St. Louis, on Tuesday evening, August 25. As in

the past, we will meet here at St. Angela and then carpool over to their place. And, as also in the past, we will

dine at the Madison Café, located a short distance from their home, after Mass. Their chapel is small, so (with

all the Wuhan Flu stipulations) we have to limit participation to the first 25 who sign up (on the reservation

sheet in the lunchroom). Since they are in St. Charles County, the mask requirements, etc. are more relaxed, so

be advised. The specific times are subject to change, but right now we’re planning on meeting here at 5:00PM

for a 6:00PM Mass at Piper’s and a 7:00 (or thereabouts) dinner at Madison’s.

HAVEN’T WE HAD ENOUGH?

Of the bad news, I mean. Our country needs prayers and needs them badly. I propose that not just we Cath-

olics, and not just we Catholics of North County, but we Catholics of St. Angela Merici Parish step up to the

plate and take this one on. I propose the following: A) DAILY MASS; I know that many of you can do this,

and I recommend that you do, B) DAILY ROSARY; I know that all of you can do that, C) participate more

and as often as you can in the great devotional life of the Catholic Church, viz., Eucharistic Adoration, Perpetu-

al Help Devotions, pilgrimages, retreats, spiritual reading, etc. I have it on good authority that if we do return to

prayer, it will change our country quickly and dramatically for the better. My sources? Jesus and Mary.

COUNTING THE DAYS TO CATECHISM

My Catechism Class will resume on the first Tuesday of September, Sept. 1, immediately after the usual

Tuesday Devotions at 7:00PM. It will take place in church and be broadcast live to the folks at home (I’m

sounding more and more like a game-show host! Yeesh!). Come if you can; strictly BYOC (bring your own cat-

echism, or else we can provide one for you!).

QUIZ-A-CATHOLIC

Requiescat in Pace! (“may he [or she] rest in peace!”) That’s what the R.I.P. on tombstones stands for.

Not only does it wish the rest of the just upon the decedent, but it also tells us where that person in buried. This

week’s quiz will be on the believed resting places of the twelve apostles. Of course, parts of all of their bodies

have been dispersed and diffused all around the world in relics, but we’re talking about the major part of each

one’s relic. See how well you can match them up (NB: each resting place may be used more than once!):

1. St. Peter 2. St. Andrew 3. St. James the Greater 4. St. John 5. St. Matthew

6. St. James the Less 7. St. Thomas 8. St. Simon 9. St. Jude 10. St. Philip

11. St. Bartholomew 12. St. Matthias

A) Compostela (Spain) B) Tiber Island (Rome) C) St. Peter’s Basilica (Rome) D) Church

of Ss. Philip & James (Rome) E) Amalfi (near Naples) F) Salerno (near Naples) G) India

H) Ephesus

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

“Nearly 80% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical

abortion facilities (are) located within walking distance

of black neighborhoods.” – Rev. Dean Nelson

“The founder of Planned Parenthood, Marga-

ret Sanger, was a notorious racist and anti-Catholic

bigot, yet this never stopped the organization from

defending her until now. Indeed, I once clashed on

TV with a Planned Parenthood official who denied

that Sanger was a racist. Now the abortion-happy in-

stitution has come clean and is admitting the obvi-

ous…Planned Parenthood is finally saying that there is

‘overwhelming evidence for Sanger’s deep belief in

eugenic* ideology.’” – Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League

*The “eugenic” movement grew out of the Darwin-ism of the 19th c., and promoted the idea that certain races were fit to propagate and certain others were not, and that through “selective breeding”, the “inferior” races should be eliminated and one “superior race”, a “master race” should take their place. Planned Parenthood and Nazism are the chil-dren of this movement.

WORD OF THE WEEK

FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION:

(n.) The act of promoting something of little or

no value, as in: “So much of what one hears from the ‘news media’ these days is just a bunch of floccinaucinihilipilification!”

WHY IS IT

A man wakes up after sleeping

under an ADVERTISED blanket

on an ADVERTISED mattress

and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth

with ADVERTISED toothpaste

washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes

drinks a cup

of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work

in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . .

refuses to ADVERTISE

believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor

he ADVERTISES it for sale.
