The Solemnity of All Saints

From the Pastor’s Pen:

Normandy City Council Meeting… The upcoming City Council Meeting on November 3rd at 6:30

will discuss, among other things, the next steps in the Great

Streets project. As you know, the nearly completed Great

Streets Project was the first in several stages of the process

for revitalizing and redeveloping the Normandy area. The goal

is to make the Natural Bridge corridor an attractive place for

development and investment. By creating a more pedestrian

friendly street centered around a metro link station, the hope is

to attract investors and development to the neighborhood.

Stealing a line from Field of Dreams, Normandy hopes that:

“If you build it, they will come.”

The second part of the process is to use some existing

Missouri Laws around redevelopment to encourage the invest-

ment. Under what is called Chapter 353 Tax Abatement, local

communities can establish Urban Redevelopment Corpora-

tions. (URC) St. Louis County and the University of Missouri,

St. Louis have established two such Chapter 353 Urban Rede-

velopment Corporations. According to the Missouri Govern-

ment website, such Corporations have the power to operate

one or more redevelopment projects; however such projects

must be pursuant to a development plan which has been au-

thorized by the city after holding a public hearing on the devel-

opment plan. (353.060, RSMo.) Go to: https://ded.mo.gov/

upload/chpt353.pdf for more information about Chapter 353

URC’s.

As I understand it, under this act, developers get a tax abate-

ment for 25 years in return for their investment. The first ten

years, their taxes hold steady at the rate at which the previous

owner paid the previous year before the purchase. (eg: if

bought today, their tax rate would be held at 2014 rates.)

Then the next 15 years would be at a 50% of the ‘new’ value

of the property.

I encourage you to attend the meeting, there to learn the

scope of the URC, to ask any questions, dispel any fears, and

to bring any concerns you have to our elected officials.

UPDATE ON THE CONDENSATE LINE FOR THE BOIL-

ER. After multiple attempts using a different type of flexible

line, the company replacing the condensate line will now have

to ‘dig’ at the critical final 45 degree junction that it was unable

to get past. They will open the ‘tunnel’ that currently carries

both the steam and the return line, access the pipe, and then

finish pulling the replacement line the final 30 feet to the boiler,

make their connections, reseal the tunnel and then ‘turn the

heat on to the church.’ Hopefully by the time you read this,

this will have been accomplished. Thank you for your pa-

November 1: Dynamic Catholic, Alive! The Saints In April 2014, Pope Francis canonized Saints Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Who are the saints? They are those who enjoy the Beatific Vision; they are the Church Triumphant. We are all called to be saints. The Catholic novelist Leon Bloy once wrote, “The only tragedy in life is not to become a saint.” On this Solemni-ty of All Saints, who are the saints that you look to as models of the Christian life?
