Phase III. Total donors to-date- 110. Grand total $36,543 which includes total cash of $30,943 plus $5600 due in pledges. Stewardship Note. "Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward." (Mark 9:41) Our Lord's comment about the simple gesture of giving a drink of water is a reminder ofhow Jesus taught that we would all be judged at the end of time. "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me." (Matthew 25:35). Our service and sacrifice to our parish and the greater Church allows us to care for Jesus when He is hungry, thirsty, ill or in need. -Psalm 19.8 The second collection this weekend is for the Annual Appeal for Catholic Schools as well as all other remaining envelopes in your budget packet. Next weekend is the monthly collection for Diocesan Obligations FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION On Friday, October 2", adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place following the 7 am.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT I was notified by the office of Attorney Morrill of Southbridge MA that Mr. John Markiewicz willed his house to Saint Joseph Basilica. The will reads "I hereby give and devise my house and land at 88 Lake Street, Webster, Massachusetts to the Pastor of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Parish in said Webster for general purposes in the administration of the parish." In a spirit of gratitude to John for his faith and generosity as a faithful parishioner, and dedicated teacher of St. Joseph School, a mosaic will be installed on the wall next to the baptismal font depicting the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. Let this mosaic be a perpetual memory for John's faith and dedication to the Church. In addition every year on his anniversary a Mass will be celebrated for the repose of his soul. May the soul of John Markiewicz enjoy eternal happiness with God.
