SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
The spirit of wisdom, as we discover in today's first reading, comes to those who pray for her. Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consola-tion as well as of great challenge. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the word of God, infused with the wisdom of God, is "sharper than any two-edged sword." We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds. Jesus, the living word of God, the embodiment of wisdom, has strong, deeply penetrat-ing words for the rich young man who comes to him seeking answers to his most profound questions. Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God's commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us.

2018 Illinois Student Tax Credit Informational Meeting:
Explaining How This Benefits YOU and St. Alexander School
Tuesday, October 23rd
7:00 pm in the Computer Room
By filing the Illinois Student Tax Credit you can make a deduction that benefits both your personal return while earmarking this credit for St. Alexan-der School, which then benefits families in need of financial assistance to attend our school.
Benefit to the contributor: If a taxpayer contributes $1,000 to the Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), the taxpayer will receive a $750 tax credit.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Request approval to make the income tax credit prior to making your contribution. Applica-tions must be requested online through MyTax Illi-nois.
Step 2: Once your application has been submitted, and the Department confirms that credits are avail-able, the Department will issue you a Contribution Authorization Certificate (CAC). The CAC will be issued electronically to your MyTax Illinois account within three business days of approval of your ap-plication.
Step 3: Make your contribution to the Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) within 60 days after issuance of the CAC. You must provide a copy of the CAC to the SGO. Within 30 days of receiving your contribution, the SGO will issue you a Certifi-cate of Receipt (COR) through your MyTax Illinois account.

If you’re interested in being a part of
this ministry, further information

Many of you may take advantage of the convenience of electronic giving to our parish and we are grateful for that.

Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card. No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door. Now you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Personalized offertory cards are offered to replace your envelopes for the collection basket.
