2 Page Two October 21, 2012 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time CHURCH IMPROVEMENT: Open Communication Meeting October 30, 7 PM Please join us for a detailed presentation of the Church Improvement plan Tuesday, October 30 in the Holy Family Room at 7:00 p.m. This review is a short summary to help you prepare for the meeting. It is a fact sheet explaining terms used and issues involved. CHURCH IMPROVEMENT - Strictly speaking, the term covers repair, relocation or restoration of church appointments. Changes may be necessary for the sake of safety, proper function, or liturgical correctness. They may be desirable for aesthetic reasons. BACKGROUND OF CHURCH IMPROVEMENT - Church Improvement is a step beyond ordinary maintenance. In most cases, it requires minimal labor and expense. Good examples of what has been done since 2007: -Devotional Shrines - pictures of the Divine Mercy, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Blessed John Paul II, and St. Faustina were donated. -Vigil Lights - Devotional offerings paid for them or they were actually donated (Fil-Am Group). -The Opening Up of the Sacrament Chapel Space - - Two walls were downsized because they blocked the view of the altar and pulpit. Our maintenance engineer accomplished this with little expense. -Rehanging the Stations of the Cross - - They were made visible to all in the congregation. The relocation cost nothing at all! THE THREE R S OF CHURCH IMPROVEMENT - To REPAIR, RESTORE, or REPLACE what is necessary or desirable for an environment conducive to liturgical or devotional prayer. Church Improvement is not remodeling. Remodeling alters the structure of a building. Our plan is not to remake. Our goal is to solve problems in our worship space and provide the right focus for a Catholic congregation at prayer. TWO PLANS (A LITTLE HISTORY) 1. The Da Prato Rigali Plan - - As early as 2007, an analysis of our worship space and its problems was done by a highly respected Liturgical Art Studio. It addressed our major problem - asbestos removal - and estimated the cost to be $19,870. Other improvements - including relocation of the tabernacle, font, new church furnishing, restored statues and crucifix and new windows - were suggested. The cost estimate was $583,413. This first plan was presented to and discussed with the Finance Council, but never approved. The expense and other projects - - like the two stage rectory masonry repair (which cost $66,457) -- forced us to put the Church Improvement on hold. 2. The Revised Plan - - The successful renovation of the Holy Family Room and kitchen was due to the professional advice of an industrial designer and our own maintenance engineer. The improvement plan our advisor proposed is simpler and promises to be much less expensive, but it reflects the same values as the first plan - traditional, yet contemporary, simple, but beautiful and, above all, liturgically correct! Like the first plan, it seeks to solve two major problems: -Asbestos removal and replacement of carpeting is still a major expense and will be the last improvement undertaken; -The present baptismal font and grotto are dysfunctional and need to be removed because of poor visibility for the congregation, leaking, mold problems, and potential health hazards. Beyond solving problems, the second plan stresses RESTORATION... Restoration of the original large crucifix above the altar, the tabernacle behind the altar and the statues of St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin to the Church. This restoration honors both Catholic and parish tradition. It also retains what is best in the 1992 Church Remodeling. Lighting and the best use of our stained glass are still be discussed. A SENSE OF THE FAITHFUL - - During the past six months, bulletin articles on Church Improvement have presented a positive challenge and an appeal to all parishioners. While informational, they have

3 Page Three Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 21, 2012 invited input. Input from you is important because the expression of your faith is a real, pastoral concern. All improvements in our Church -- whether necessary or desirable -- are not meant to satisfy the pastor, parish council, commissions, or committees, but to respond to a higher need: our Catholic worship. The fifty-sixth chapter of Isaiah foretells: For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. The prophet s vision is fulfilled in Catholic worship. It is my hope that you share with me a desire to restore and renew our house of prayer. -Fr. Luczak YEAR OF SUNDAY MASS: QUESTION OF THE WEEK All three of today s readings remind us to never become too comfortable in identifying oneself as a victim. Jesus, in his sacrifice on the cross, was God s perfect victim for all of humanity, destroying sin and redeeming us through his death and resurrection. When I approach the altar and consume Jesus broken body, am I truly aware of the tremendous sacrifice he made for me on the cross? KNOW THE MASS, ONE WORD AT A TIME: POINT I didn t notice the power and the beauty of so many things in my life until someone pointed them out. Someone had to call my attention to these good things and summon me to see what had always surrounded me. I saw with new eyes. In a similar way, John the Baptist points out Jesus to the first disciples. John says, Look, the Lamb of God. Behold, the Lamb of God, who is already here among us. The same words have become a part of the Mass before Holy Communion, Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. The priest holds up the host and points to the presence of Jesus Christ among us. We need indications. The things of God are deeply imbedded in our lives, but they may remain unseen. The Mass in its entirely points out the presence of the Redeemer in our lives the suffering and dying Christ in our struggles, the risen Christ in our sense of new life, the power of Christ in our fragility, and the merciful Christ in our acts of compassion. The Mass points out the Lamb of God who even now is with us. Louis J. Cameli, 2012 Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications Prayer for St. Isaac Jogues O Lord God Whose voice we hear in the winds And whose breath gives life to all the world, Hear us, your people, gathered together under the care of St. Isaac Jogues. We need your strength and your wisdom. Help us walk in beauty and make our eyes ever behold your beauty surrounding us. Let our hands respect the things you have made and make us wise so that we may understand the things you have taught your people. Help us learn the lessons you have hidden in all creation, and make us always ready to come to you with open arms and glad hearts. So that together in the company of brother Isaac our spirits may return to you without shame to live forever and ever in peace. Amen.

She was born in 1656 in what is today upstate New York. Her mother was of the Algonquin tribe and a baptized Cathoic and her father was a Mohawk chief. At the age of four, there was an outbreak of smallpox in the village and both her parents and her brother died. Her own health became poor, particularly her eyesight, and she was left with a badly scarred face. When she was 14, the Jesuits opened a mission among the Mohawks. While others of the clan mistrusted them, Kateri listened to their teachings and prayed. She was baptized on Easter Sunday 1676 and took the name Catherine. Kateri is the Iroquois equivalent of Catherine. After her baptism, Kateri was ostracized and Fr. Lamberville, who baptized her, urged her to go to another village near Montreal and live with other belivers. Fr. Lamberville gave her a letter of introduction which read in part, I send you a treasure. Guard it well. In 1677 she received her first Communion. Qualities of St. Kateri included acceptance of the Cross (seen in the risk she took to be baptized, leave her clan, teach the young and serve the sick and elderly); courage of conviction (while religious life was thought too foreign to her experience, she did make a vow of virginity, thus risking poverty without the support of a husband and family); dedication to prayer (she was regarded as a keeper of the faith, a position typically reserved to the mission s men). Kateri died at the age of 24. Witnesses testified that after she died, she radiated a clear complexion and great loveliness. Runners spread the news with the simple message, The saint is dead. Because of her purity and holiness, she was known as The Lily of the Mohawks. Her feast day is July 14. (Adapted from Catholic Update, October, 2012) Blessed Kateri, Star of Native People and Bright Light for all! We thank God for your heroic courage, constant perseverance and deep love of the Cross. Pray for us that our love for Christ may deepen. And may we imitate you in following God's Will even when difficulties arise. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

6 Page Six Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 21, 2012 This is the third of four bulletin inserts to offer guidance and reflection points from Illinois Catholic Bishops in preparation for the elections of November 6, The first insert was an introduction to this effort. The second insert discussed the expectations of a well-formed conscience. (Go to for a copy of the first and second insert.) Christ fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear. Gaudium et Spes, 22 As followers of Jesus Christ, we understand the human person in light of the mystery of the Incarnation. HUMAN DIGNITY flows both from our origin (being created in the image and likeness of God) and from our ultimate destiny, which is communion with God. Legitimate concern for the material well-being of all must never eclipse our concern for their spiritual and moral wellbeing. [Matthew 10:28] The preciousness of every human being demands our concern for well-being of all, beginning with those closest to us for whom we bear the greatest responsibility, and with a special concern for the weakest and most vulnerable among us and for future generations. The moral imperative to respond to the fundamental needs of our neighbors needs such as food, shelter, basic health care, education, and meaningful work is universally binding on our conscience, but may be legitimately fulfilled by a variety of means. These responsibilities cannot be simply delegated to the State.1 As the Catechism reminds us, It is not the role of the Pastors of the Church to intervene directly in the political structuring and organization of social life. This task is part of the vocation of the lay faithful, acting on their own initiative with their fellow citizens. 2 Relying on well-formed consciences, Catholics citizens must use prudence in responding to these needs and serving the COMMON GOOD. While there may be many legitimate ways to address the needs of our neighbors, there are some actions which are always and everywhere immoral. As Catholics, we must recognize that not all issues carry the same moral weight. The continuing slaughter of innocent children through legal abortion to take the most appalling example of such intrinsic evil is a grave offense against God and our own human dignity, and cries out for justice. Accordingly, the moral obligation to oppose intrinsically evil acts has a special claim on our consciences and our actions. 3 Those who knowingly, willingly and directly support public policies or legislation that protect and perpetuate such injustice co- operate with that grave evil. Candidates who promise to support the common good, while at the same time glossing over their support for intrinsic evils such as abortion, perpetrate a lie. Catholic candidates who do so are also a cause of scandal among the faithful. Finally, two other issues of particular importance in this election year demand our attention. The first is marriage: the permanent, faithful relationship of a man and a woman as husband and wife is the root of a family and the foundation for all of society. The decline of marriage in our culture has already inflicted untold spiritual and material costs upon society and individuals alike. Attempts to redefine marriage are contrary to the natural and moral law and only serve to further erode this fundamental institution. The defense of marriage is a matter of social justice. The second issue which is of such pressing importance that the final insert, beginning on October 28th, will address it specifically is religious freedom. Additional information can be found on the Catholic Conference of Illinois website, or at FIRST FRIDAY PRAYER EVENT An Evening of Prayer dedicated to the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the healing and guidance of our Nation will be held First Friday, November 2nd at 8 p.m. (following the All Souls Mass) until Midnight, in the Church. It will include the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the praying of the Patriotic Rosary, as well as all the Mysteries of the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and will conclude with Benediction. Please join us for an hour or all night. RITA LOVELESS EFREN WERLEIN LEXI BARGA ROSE BENTIVEGNA

7 Page Seven Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 21, 2012 God s Self-Revelation This is the third in a series of short reflections on the purpose and work of the Second Vatican Council, written for our parish bulletins as we look forward to celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Council s beginning this coming October 11. After teaching about our worship of God in the liturgy in the Council s first document, the bishops assembled for Vatican II turned to deepening our understanding of how it is that we can worship God in spirit and in truth. What are the sources of our knowledge of the God we worship? Any human knowledge of God is radically incomplete unless God himself reveals who he is to us. God reveals himself in nature and, far more thoroughly, in the history of his calling and shaping a people who come to understand him in his mighty acts and in his interaction with his human creatures. After the sin of our first parents, God promises to redeem us and restore his friendship with us. He calls Abraham to be the father of a chosen people and tells Moses to deliver this people from slavery and show them how to live according to God s law. Finally, God sends his own Son, the Incarnate Word of God, to be the savior of the human race, making us into God s own family. Jesus is, in his divine Person, the revelation of his Father, who becomes our Father in baptism. After Jesus ascended to the Father, his apostles began to tell the world who Christ is, and they passed on this mission to those who followed them in the Church. Introducing the world to its savior is the purpose of the Church in every generation. We use human words to speak about God s eternal Word. The words spoken in the Church in the first two generations of Christianity were sometimes put into writings inspired by the Holy Spirit. These New Testament texts complemented and completed the inspired memoirs of the Jewish people, called by us the Old Testament. Sacred Scripture speaks of what God has done in history and what God tells us to believe and do in every age. Since the sacred books are written within and for God s people, it is the community of faith that interprets them in accord with the Tradition that discerns which books are inspired and which are not, which actions are normative and which are not. The works of God and the words of Scripture are mirrors that reflect the truth about God. Together, the inspired books of Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition of the Church tell us who is the God we worship and who we are as his beloved daughters and sons. Our faith is sure because the word of God stands forever (I Peter 1:23-25). In the Archdiocese of Chicago, many Bible study groups have gathered in our parishes since the Council. Our Archdiocesan sponsored Chicago Catholic Scripture School offers Scripture courses in English, Spanish and Polish to help Catholics deepen their understanding and appreciation for Holy Scripture. Our catechesis is biblically grounded, and the liturgy celebrated in the 23 vernacular languages used to worship God each Sunday in the Archdiocese immerses the community of faith in the Bible in a three year cycle of readings from the Old Testament and the New. MASS OF ANOINTNG OF THE SICK Those who would like to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick are invited to a special Mass on Saturday, October 27 th, at 1:00 p.m. in Church. People receive the anointing for many reasons illness (physical, mental, spiritual), grieving, aging, facing surgery or treatments, etc. Whatever your need, we urge you to come, along with your family members and caregivers, so that your faith community can surround you with the gifts of prayer, encouragement and hope. All members of the parish are also welcome to come and share those gifts. A reception will follow in the Holy Family Room. Please call the RE Office at 847/ if you have questions. BOOK OF LIFE Parishioners may inscribe the names of deceased family members and friends, particularly those who died this past year, in the Book of Life which will be located near the baptismal font beginning next weekend. Those whose funeral or memorial Masses were held here since last All Souls Day will already be inscribed in the book. We will remember all those in the Book of Life during the Universal Prayer throughout the month of November. We will also pray for those who grieve the passing of their loved ones from this life and embrace them with the hope of eternal life which we have because of our belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Thanks for making a difference for the unborn, the newborn and their mothers and fathers! Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: October 21, 2012 This year, the Church s annual celebration of World Mission Sunday takes place on special significance because it occurs during the opening weeks of the Year of Faith, while the Synod on the New Evangelization is taking place in Rome. These three moments are intrinsically connected because all of them are about faith: knowing our faith and sharing it so that we can bring it to bear on every society where the Church has taken root, as well as in places where Christ has yet to be proclaimed, or where faith in Him has grown cold. It is the most fitting that the Sunday liturgy is the setting for our Archdiocesan celebration of World Mission Sunday, because it is participation in Sunday Mass that nourishes us, strengthens us and sends us out on mission to witness Christ. Through the Church s proclamation of the Word of God and our reception of the Body and Blood of the Lord, we are fortified to live as missionary disciples and take up the work to which Christ calls us. Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has reminded us that only Christ can truly fulfill the hopes of all humanity because He alone can heal, purify and fill all the people with his presence. If others are to come to know Christ deeply, we must take the unfathomable riches of Christ known by bold and yet humble witness to the difference He makes in our lives. Our profound communion with Christ through our life in the Church should result in a deepening of faith that is transformed into love. The Pontifical Mission Societies support the missionary evangelization efforts that take place in 1150 dioceses throughout the world. Through their efforts the love of Christ touches the hearts of countless people in every region of the world. I commend the Pontifical Mission Societies to your prayers and ask you to be generous in your support for their missionary outreach. By participating in the missionary work of the Church, my prayer is that each of us will grow in our ability to proclaim Christ by our lives. Thank you for your concern for the missions. May the Lord abundantly bless you and those you love. Sincerely, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. Archbishop of Chicago
