3 Page 4 6th Sunday of Easter From the Pastor's Desk: Dear Parishioners of St. Florian, Thank you for your generosity and for all you do for St. Florian. At this time, when the heating season is approaching, we are trying to meet the demands that this means. As you know, our heating bills are high every year. Our old Church boiler is not only old, it is not sufficient for our needs. Once it is turned on our gas bills skyrocket because the controls on the boiler are not precise. We are still waiting for the TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS campaign to give us money to install a new boiler, but we need to wait until the campaign is over before we receive any money, so there is still a couple of years ahead of us. Meanwhile we have to face high heating bills. We are still paying on last winter's bills and the new heating season will begin in about 2 months. To prevent the accumulation of all the heating bills I would like to ask you to increase your donation in the ENERGY ENVELOPE. I hope that the heating season will be mild for all of us, but once the Church boiler is turned on we are still paying for the usage. I will keep you in my prayers, please keep me in yours. Yours in Christ Fr. Robert NEWEST HISTORY OF ST. FLORIAN PHOTO Fr. Robert P. Marchwiany, Pastor, with the TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS COMMITTEE Spring of 2016 ST. FLORIAN CHURCH is back on Facebook Information and events will be posted on the Florian Hegewisch user page. "Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers." - Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Beginning on April 21 to May 13, our parish will be participating in The Baby Bottle Project benefiting The Women's Centers of Greater Chicagoland. This non-profit organization directly assists mothers and families experiencing crisis pregnancies by offering emotional, financial, material, and spiritual support through counseling, clothing & monetary provisions, prayer, and other aid. Each year the three locations together have over 5,000 appointments with expecting mothers. By God's Grace, The Women's Centers have saved over 40,000 babies and their mothers from abortion since opening in Please take a Baby Bottle home with you from the church on April 21/22, fill it with your spare change, and return it the weekend of May 12/13. This is a simple, but crucial fundraising effort for The Women's Centers. Please note the Baby Bottles cost almost $1.00 per bottle and are recycled afterwards so please return upon completion ofthe project. Thank you for helping defend life, and remember to keep all pro-life undertakings in your prayers. Also if you are making a donation by check, please make it payable to: The Women's Center. Thank you!

4 May 6, 2018 Page 5 Office of the Archbishop 835 North Rush Street Chicago, IL archchicago.org Spring 2018 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Mother s Day is a day we honor and remember the special women in our lives who have nurtured, loved and shaped us into the people we are today. It is through their unconditional love that we begin to understand the depth of Christ s love for us, and his command to share that love with one another. On Mother s Day, each of us will have an opportunity to share Christ s unconditional love with the poor and vulnerable through our gift to the Catholic Charities Mother s Day Collection. For Catholic Charities, charity is not just about providing material assistance, but acting with the same love and mercy that Jesus showed to restore people s dignity and give them the hope of a brighter future. Catholic Charities counts on our volunteer and financial support to offer comprehensive programs that get to the root cause of suffering, address multiple needs, and help people rebuild their lives for the better. Pope Francis has used a powerful image of the Church as field hospitals. During war, field hospitals are situated right on battlegrounds close to the wounded who need help. Similarly, as part of the Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago, Catholic Charities 150 service locations are very much like field hospitals, helping those who are suffering, and located in neighborhoods that have sadly become like real battlegrounds, plagued with violence and despair. Catholic Charities program sites are safe havens in desperate areas and their staff and volunteers are truly ministers of mercy, providing help through a hot meal, a bag of food, a place to live, the care of a child or elderly relative, counseling, job training, job placement, or all of these things. Serving nearly one million people each year, Catholic Charities brings Christ s love and mercy to the people and the places that need it most. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your past support of the Catholic Charities Mother s Day Collection, and please consider being as generous as you can again this year. Contributions can be made during the second collection on Mother s Day, anytime at or mail your gift to Catholic Charities, 721 N. LaSalle St., Chicago, IL May God bless you and those you love this Mother s Day and always. With every good wish, I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, Cardinal Blase J. Cupich Archbishop of Chicago
