Dear Friend,
It seems like September has come and gone and any hopes that a "feeling-of-summer" would stay are lingering with this short spell of warmer weather that we have today and tomorrow. Otherwise, Autumn is here. We want to thank everyone who came out to our fundraising dinner this past Saturday with the golf outing and dinner at The Brickhouse. It was a great time!
Thank you too to everyone who supported the second collection for Fr. Matthias' parish in Uganda this past Saturday and Sunday. We are grateful for the strong relationship we have held with him over the years and continue to have in the years to come.
Life in the parish keeps rolling along. Here are a few highlights for the week ahead!

Annual Pet Blessing
How do you celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi? (October 4). At Saint Andrew, we're holding a blessing of pets on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 11:00am. Come and bring your dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, or other domesticated creatures to receive a blessing on the steps of the church. All are part of God's creation and in God's love and care!
Trunk or Treat?
This Sunday, October 6, 2019 after the 10:00am Mass, the School Board will hold some fall fun after Mass to start off the Halloween Season. Cars will be opened with their trunks to offer passerbys candy as part of a "trunk or treat" program. Kids can bring costumes to change into after Mass and make the rounds celebrating the season!
Volunteer at GCFD
The next opportunity to volunteer with fellow parishioners at the Greater Chicago Food Depository is Saturday, October 19, 2019 from 8:30am to 11:15am. Two hours of sorting can help feed hundred of people across Chicago! Sign up by contacting Nancy Holland at neh213@gmail.com
Continue to have a great week! Please keep in your prayers all who are ill and feeling down. There have been a lot of reports of people struggling with their health and we ask for God to bless them in their physical and spiritual well being.
