FROM FR. QUINT

Today there should be an insert in your bulletin about a pilgrimage to Italy.

We will travel next fall, October 3 � 14. I’ve waited to promote the pilgrimage

so that folks would not be confused and think we were trying to travel this

fall! I talked with our travel coordinator from the NAWAS agency last week

and she said a pilgrimage just returned from Italy and they had a wonderful

experience with no lines and beautiful scenery.�

I recall shortly after I was ordained mom encouraged me to lead a �

pilgrimage � she loved to travel. I responded that I had no interest in leading

a group and being responsible for their care. Seven years ago, however,

after several folks remarked about desiring a pilgrimage to Ireland, I broke

down and was so glad I did! We had such a good time. Our subsequent �

pilgrimages to Germany and Central Europe were likewise enjoyable. Our

groups interact well with few, if any, complaints. NAWAS Travel has directed

tours for over 70 years so they find the best guides, good food, and great

accommodations.�

This itinerary will take a pilgrim who has not been to Italy to well�know

places and the experienced pilgrim to new sites. Our pilgrimages include

daily Mass, as well as prayer along the way. And maybe some time to chat

over a beverage at the close of day for those who aren’t ready for bed. All

are welcome to join us. This pilgrimage holds a very good financial value and

will include travel to and from our Chicago flight. More info is available at the

cluster office.�

Other items:�

�� Welcome to visitors as part of the annual Farm Toy Show! Glad you

made worship a part of your experience.�

followed by formation.�

�� As we mark Veterans Day this week, we thank those who have served

our nation and ask for God’s continued protection upon them and our

and Guttenberg).�

�� Our priests will be part of the Veterans Day celebrations in Earlville and

Dyersville.�

church and we will fill tickets out for you. Tickets can be

C$�-!���’� L������ ~ We welcome all children ages

3�6 to the church basement during the 10:30 am Sunday

Mass today, to listen to the gospel and join in fun activities

that will help them to understand and remember the �

message. Next Sunday, November 14th, children’s liturgy

will be held during the 8:30 am Mass.�

M���# M������� P��#��#� ~ Practice for all SFX

music ministry will be held on Wednesdays: November 10

at 7 pm, December 1 at 7 pm, and December 8 at 6 pm.�

S��!��� T������ O�����7����� (STO) ~ The

75% Tax Credit sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. If you

file an Iowa income tax return, your contributions to the Our

Faith School Tuition Organization (STO) receive a 75% tax

credit. For example, if you expect to owe $1500 in Iowa �

income tax, you can donate $2000 to the STO and receive a

$1500 tax credit ($2000 x 75%); this leaves you owing $0

dollars on your Iowa income taxes. In addition, your gift may

qualify for federal deductibility. But let’s not forget that the

$2000 you’ve given will provide tuition assistance for qualify-

ing families in the Archdiocese. For more information, talk to

your tax professional or financial advisor or call Deacon Brian

Zeman� Our Faith STO Director at 563�556�2580 ext. 296�
