ST. ISIDORE the FARMER CATHOLIC CHURCH Growing Faith, Family and Friendship since 1961

Mission

We, the parish of St. Isidore the Farmer, are dedicat-

ed to growing a life-long Catholic community. Be-

lieving in the Risen Christ, we are empowered by the

Holy Spirit to celebrate the Eucharist, to be nour-

ished by the Word of God, and to serve the needs of

the local and worldwide community.

August 29, 2020

22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Reading I: Jeremiah 20:7-9

Responsorial: Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6,8-9(2b)

Reading II: Romans 12:1-2

Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27

Stewardship: In the Gospel today, Jesus warns us not to give in to hopes of repayment, but to give open-handedly to the poor and needy. That sort of giving mirrors the bountiful giving of God, and Jesus assures us it is blessed indeed.

Vocation View: If you wish to follow Jesus, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow. Are you courageous enough to follow as a priest or deacon, brother or sister?

No- Festival Festival Update: Our goal for this

fundraiser was set at $15,000 and we will have a full

report of this fundraiser in early September! A big

“Thank you” to all who have already contributed.

Witness Publication Updated Information Please be advised that after careful consideration that

included a thorough review of subscriptions, financ-

es, and available resources, it has been decided that

the archdiocese will discontinue The Witness at 4:30

PM on 30 September 2020. The issue dated 4 Octo-

ber 2020 will be the last.

You can find the complete explanation of this change

on the Archdiocesan website (link is at the bottom of

the St. Isidore website) or in last week’s bulletin.

Creating Hope during COVID-19 Catholic Charities ministries continue to be available

both remotely and in-person (by appointment only)

during the COIVD-19 pandemic. In fact, we are gen-

erally able to assist people sooner, so if you have

been thinking about seeking counseling services, or

seek legal advice from an immigration attorney, now

is a great time.

Calling All Common Venture Former Volunteers!

Can you believe that the Franciscan Common Ven-

ture service program (FCV), sponsored by the Dubu-

que Franciscans, will celebrate 50 years next year?

So SAVE THE DATE Saturday, July 17, 2021.

More information on the celebration will be coming

soon. In the meantime, send in a photo or two from

your FCV experience, especially the early years (70’s

and 80’s) Let us know the date/year and location of

your service as well as name anyone in the photo.

You can email photos to Sr. Shell at:

balekm@osfdbq.org or send them to her at the FCV

office 3390 Windsor Ave Dubuque, Ia 52001.

Visit the St. Isidore website to read the letter

from a Manhattan Kansas couple who took refuge

in the St. Isidore parking lot during the storm on

August 10th as well as the reply Cheryl sent back.

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Dubuque has set

up a Derecho Relief Fund to provide direct relief to indi-

viduals and families, especially those vulnerable populations

that have been disproportionately adversely affected. Abso-

lutely all of the monies donated will go directly to help indi-

viduals and families, where it is most needed, with priority

to those who aren’t eligible for state and federal relief.

Visit :https://dbqarch.org/derecho-relief-fund.

Once technology is restored, Counseling services are

available via Telehealth, through the computer. Appoint-

ments can be made by calling 1-800-772-2758. Catholic

Charities’ Counselors are also available for professional con-

sultations for parish and school staff, by making an appoint-

ment with the same number. For 24/7 disaster crisis counsel-

ing, call the Iowa Concern Hotline at 800-447-1985. Please

visit https://catholiccharitiesdubuque.org/disaster-resources for additional information

Faith Formation Team Update The Faith Formation Staff

at the Archdiocese of Dubuque is a team of dedicated profes-

sionals whose role is to assist parish leaders in the formation

of Missionary Disciples. Due to personnel changes and real-

location of staff responsibilities, we have some small chang-

es in how we support you. While each staff member has a

specific focus, all members work together as a team with a

shared vision. Adult Faith Formation is led by Matt Selby

and supported by Lynne Chapman who facilitates the IM-

PACT program. Mary Pedersen is staying on to support the

current IMPACT cohort. Marriage and Family Life is led by

Matt Selby, but Lynne Chapman will be stepping up to lead

the Marriage Preparation programs such as Engaged En-

counter, Pre-Cana, and Two Become One. Youth and Young

Adult Ministry is led by Kevin Feyen with help from Jim

Betnzer in registration for youth events such as TEC and

NCYC. Joanne Pohland is leading Children and Family For-

mation. Kim Feldman and Tricia Tranel will continue to as-

sist with resource consultations. Lynne Chapman will be

leading Disability Inclusion advocacy and events. Profes-

sional Development Assistance such as the Religious Studies

Grant and Dayton courses are taken care of by Carla Kasal.
