Thanksgiving Prayer
Dear Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day,
please bring us not only good food and memories but help us remember that it is You we are
thanking. When we enjoy our meal with our relatives, may we thank You, who brings all food
from the earth. When we enjoy the company of relatives and friends, may we thank You, the
source of all life and happiness. And when we pray our prayer of blessing, may our hearts
be on You, who is the source of all holiness, joy, and every blessing that is showered on
us. Amen.
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families from Father John and the
Staff.

O Lord our God, you are the source of all goodness. We ask you to bless
our efforts in this work of charity of supporting our seminary, our seminarians and our
entire faith community in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. You have called your priests to
serve you and your people. You now call each of us to show our trust in your promise that
you will always be with your Church. Give us generous hearts as we respond to the needs of
our time. May the Holy Spirit guide us that our efforts may be for your honor and glory.
Please stop by after the Masses this weekend and sign your pledge card

Catholic Campaign for
Human Development
We have received the following letter:To the Faithful of the
Archdiocese of St. Louis
For nearly 40 years, The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
has worked to empower low-income families and individuals. Since 1970, CCHD has funded
community groups that create affordable housing, obtain fair wages, provide job training,
and support other projects in which the poor implement their own solutions to the problems
they face.
This year, our call as Catholics is more important than ever. Pope Benedict XVI, in his
address to the diplomatic corps in January 2009, encouraged us to build a healthy economy
based on the innate dignity of the human person.
While the campaign has had its critics over the years, it has been successful in
assisting many of those in need and fostering self-help programs at the "grass
root" level.
I encourage you to give generously to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development on
the weekend of November 21-22, 2009, and know of my gratitude for your support.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
Archbishop of St. Louis
