1 SAINT ISAAC JOGUES PARISH 8149 Golf Road, Niles, IL Fax: Website: My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings. (from a letter of Isaac Jogues to a Jesuit friend in France, September 12, 1646, a month before he died). Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 20, 2013

ISAAC JOGUES MENU DAILY SPECIALS AMERICAN CHILI, HOT DOGS ITALIAN MOSTACCOLI & MEATBALLS SALAD W/BREAD Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody. -Samuel Pepys FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO, PANCIT INDIAN SAMOSAS IRISH SHEPHERDS PIE, CORNED BEEF SANDWICH MIDDLE EASTERN HUMMUS W/PITA TABOULEH NIGERIAN JOLLOF RICE FRIED TURKEY & GOAT, MOIN, DODO POLISH KIELBASA W/KAPUSTA A Taste of St. Isaac Jogues is an invitation to celebrate unity in diversity... Unity in faith, diversity in culture. While culture sets us apart, it is also what makes us uniquely what we are. Cultural diversity is a challenge, but it is also a blessing. Food is a very important part of cultural identity. When we share food, we peacefully cross borders and communicate in a universal language that goes beyond words. The whole idea of A Taste of... is not new, nor is it untried by a large part of the population. Remember the first time you tasted food your mother never made? It seemed risky or dangerous, but what a revelation it was! Expanding horizons - - and sometimes waistlines - - resulted. That s the way America fell in love with pizza, tacos, and sushi. That s the way the supermarket freezer became stocked with pierogi, egg rolls, and naan bread. It s amazing what our options have become - - ethnic dining, carry-outs, and Food channel experiments! Here at St. Isaac Jogues, festival foods are a special treat. We look forward to Simbang Gabi and San Lorenzo s Feast to sample Pancit and other Filipino delights. The Men s Club has a monthly chow down feature -- grilled steak, bratwurst, pasta, corned beef and cabbage, kielbasa and kraut, and even an awesome Chili Throwdown. Champion Chili chef, Wally Polinski, is providing his secret recipe for this year s Taste. The Women s Club and Parish Life Commission are also certain to serve a selection of foods both savory and sweet! We re excited about the overall menu for our first Taste. Familiar favorites like pasta and meatballs, pierogi, kielbasa and kraut, and hot dogs will compete with Chicken Adobo, Samosas, Shepherds Pie, Hummus, Tabouleh and pita bread. Depending on your particular palate, there s even more diversity! How about Pancit or a Corned Beef Sandwich? I am always interested in something completely different. In all my travels and dining experience, I have never tasted Nigerian food! Jollof Rice, Roasted Goat or Turkey, the Moin medley of black-eyed beans, tomatoes, onion, ground crayfish, corned beef and hardboiled egg and DoDo (fried ripe plantain)... For a real foodie it's irresistible and what an adventure! No matter what you choose and how you pace yourself, remember there s music, dancing and a Sweet Table to enjoy before the Raffle. With our Taste of St. Isaac Jogues the celebration goes on and on! Enjoy Patty and the Melts, old and new friends. It will be a night with some lucky prize winners, but where every food ticket can make you a winner. Celebrate the Taste! -Fr. Luczak

3 Page Three Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 20, 2013 St. Isaac Jogues, our Patron Saint ISAAC JOGUES was born at Orleans, France, of well-to-do parents, he studied at the Jesuit school there and joined the Jesuits in After his ordination in 1636, he requested and was sent to Quebec. He worked with great success among the Huron Indians until 1642, when a war party of Iroquois Indians, the traditional enemies of the Hurons, captured a group of Jesuits, among them Isaac and Rene Goupil, who was murdered. After a year of terrible torture and mutilation, Isaac escaped with the aid of the Dutch at Albany to New York and returned to France. At his request he was sent back to Quebec in Two years later, he and Jean de Lalande set out for Iroquois country after a peace treaty with the Iroquois had been signed. They were captured by a Mohawk Indian war party and he was tomahawked and beheaded at Ossemenon, near Albany, New York, on October 18, Jean de Lalande suffered martyrdom the next day. They were canonized with a group of other Jesuits in 1930 by Pope Pius XI as the Martyrs of North America. 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. FEASTDAY WEEKEND CONTINUES TODAY The tastes have been eaten, the music is a joyful memory, the dancing feet are tired, and the winners of the 50/50 Raffle have been picked, BUT The Celebration continues today after Mass in the Holy Family Room.

5 Page Five Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 20, 2013 RESPECT LIFE MONTH Nearly all of us are sometimes guilty of rejecting those who get in the way of our plans or make us feel insecure. We may honk with impatience at the driver in front of us or speak abruptly to a colleague who is slow to learn new skills, and perhaps use harsh words at home when a spouse or child forgot to do a promised task. In all these seemingly minor everyday ways, we tear away at the Body of Christ. And when we act this way in front of our children, the family ceases to be a school of love. That is what family is meant to be: a haven of unconditional love, acceptance, affirmation and consolation, where children learn by modeling their parents to accept others and love generously, to share with and care for those in need. It is a place to learn humility and mercy, to learn to imitate Christ. Like the saints, we can learn to love others sacrificially by recognizing our own weaknesses and littleness, and by begging God to transform us. It s not just selfishness that makes it difficult to put others needs and lives ahead of our plans. We fear losing control over the plans that we think will make us happy and fear not having time to do the things that give us pleasure now. The irony is that lasting happiness in this life is found in giving of oneself generously to others, loving gratuitously and seeking nothing in return. The mother of a child who is ill can t help but be moved to comfort her baby through the night, to suffer with him. The son of an elderly parent with dementia can t help but respond with patience and affirmation to the often repeated stories, questions and fears. Those who love need no other reward beyond the happiness they feel in knowing they have brought comfort to another person. Through prayer and the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments, we can know and love God better. With his help, we can be more aware of the needs of those around us and open our hearts to all human life. After all, the focus of the New Evangelization isn t on memorizing doctrines. It s about learning to live our Christian life fully and bringing Christ s love, alive within us, to all we meet. (USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, c2013) PURGATORIAL SOCIETY All Souls Day envelopes to enroll the names of deceased loved ones into the Purgatorial Society can be found at the doors of the church. Those in the society are remembered at a weekday Mass each week. Kindly place your envelope in the collection by November 3 rd. WYPOMINIKI The Wypominiki, Rosary of Remembrance, will be prayed in Polish and English at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, November 2 nd. The names of the dead will be read between each of the mysteries of the Rosary. Wypominiki envelopes, on which to write the name of the dead, are available in the Church or in the Polish School Office. Please place your envelope in the collection next weekend or return it to the Rectory by Tuesday evening, October 29 th. 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 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.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although the hours of daylight are rapidly dwindling, many people would say that these October days bring the year s most splendid weather. Americans are riders and joggers, not strollers, and so the pleasures of the season are often lost on us. This is not the case with many Jewish people, who observe an ancient rule in walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. On city streets and suburban sidewalks in many cities, we may notice around sunset the nicely dressed families walking and chatting on Friday afternoon. After a short prayer at dusk, the families stroll home again for a relaxing and festive meal. They return to synagogue in the morning, and then spend an afternoon in family leisure until three stars appear in the night sky and Sabbath ends. Catholics, on the other hand, pile into the car and drive even a short distance to Mass; some even divide the family to participate at different hours. For Jews, the leisurely walk marks a dividing line between hectic life commitments and a day of abundant joy and enrichment. Before we became an automobile culture, Catholics embraced a similar pace, and in most places walked to church. These lovely days of fall invite us to tap into an old and life-giving tradition. If you live within a mile of your church, walk next week. If you must drive, park at a good distance and walk the rest of the way. Talk about your life, greet strangers, notice the crunch of leaves under your shoes. You may be surprised at how different Sunday Mass feels when it is framed by leisure! James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
