November 8, 2015 Page Three How Will Our Parish Benefit? As part of the total $350 million goal, To Teach Who Christ Is will raise a minimum of $150 million to support local needs in every parish across Chicago. When we meet our goal here at St. Jude the Apostle, we will receive $415,000 to carry out these important projects: Replacement of the Boiler System: $190,000 In line with the work which has been completed, the boiler system for the church needed replacement. The entire system was updated and will provide a new level of warmth to the church during the winters ahead. This capital cost was spent with the foresight of the To Teach Who Christ Is campaign funding the project. Downpayment on Overhaul of Parking Lots: $175,000 The heavily used parking lots need a planned overhaul, in stages, to completely replace the broken and pot-holed asphalt in all areas of the parish campus. The entire project will include stripping the property of deteriorated asphalt to the gravel base, then repaving and striping the whole facility. Establishing Youth Ministry Programs: $50,000 St. Jude the Apostle Parish has been blessed with wonderful and vibrant children. We have an opportunity and responsibility to build programs that will develop and strengthen their growing faith. Establishing a youth ministry will provide resources for programs, retreats and staff. Campaign Update We have raised more than $460,305 thanks to the early commitments from 73 families! Thank you for your enthusiasm, generosity, and prayers! Our To Teach Who Christ Is Team continues to invite more and more families to participate each week. Please accept their invitation and prayerfully consider how you might help. Your gift will ensure a vibrant future for our parish, and Catholic education across Chicago.
Page Four November 8, 2015 SHEDSOMELIGHT Christ Our Savior Catholic School RED RIBBON & BULLY PREVENTION WEEK During the week of Monday, November 2 through Thursday, November 5 our students recognized Anti-Bullying and Drug Prevention Week with theme filled days. Monday s featured message was Walk Away From Drugs/ Walk Away From Bullying Others. Students placed Red Ribbons on classroom doors and pledged to be drug free by writing drug prevention/anti-bullying messages with sidewalk chalk around the sidewalks of our building. Tuesday was Be Smart..Be Yourself Nerd Day. Students were to dress like a nerd. Wednesday s theme Sock It To Drugs & Bullying allowed the students to wear crazy socks with school uniforms. On Thursday Watch Out For Drugs the students wore a watch with their school uniforms. These simple catch phrases were a clever way to drive home the importance of being drug free and to understand that bullying will not be tolerated.

November 8, 2015 Page Five Mass of Remembrance 2015 This weekend we celebrate the Mass of Remembrance. We remember all our brothers and sisters who died this past year. Our first reading for the Feast of All Souls is from The Book of Wisdom 3:1-9. It begins by saying, The souls of the just are in the hand of God, First, we notice that the reading is in the present tense. Anyone who is just and righteous, having a good relationship with God, trusting in God and acting according to God s will, is in the hand of God. In this sense, the unrighteous, the wicked and sinners are not in the hand of God. The souls of the just are in the hand of God,.. God holds, caresses, and carries the just through life. and no torment shall touch them. Thus, they are at peace. Peace here does not mean the absence of trials and tribulations. It does not mean the just one will not encounter regular life challenges. He/she will. In fact the just one will even have enemies along the way. For the wicked says Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doing, reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with violations of our training (Wis. 2: 12). The wicked will even think the death of the just one is utter destruction. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are at peace. They are at peace in this world. They are at peace in the midst of trials and tribulations. They are at peace through the gates of death. They are at peace in heaven with God because they continue to be in the hand of God. The challenge for each of us, then, as we make our way through life is to be just: have a good relationship with God, trust God, and act according to the will of God. When we do this, we shall be in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch us. We may be chastised a little, yet we shall be greatly blessed. For our hope will be full of immortality. May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. Blessings, Fr. Ignatius We remember our beloved relatives and friends who died in the last year. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. They will never hunger or thirst again; neither the sun nor scorching wind will ever plague them, because the Lamb who is at the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water Revelations :16,17 READINGS FOR THE WEEK Mon.: Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12; Psalm 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; John 2:13-22 Tues.: Wisdom 2:23-3:9; Psalm 34:2-3, 16-19; Luke 17:7-10 Wed.: Wisdom 6:1-11; Psalm 82:3-4, 6-7; Luke 17:11-19 Thurs.: Wisdom 7:22-8:1; Psalm 119:89-91, 130, 135,175; Luke 17:20-25 Fri.: Wisdom 13:1-9; Psalm 19:2-5ab; Luke 17:26-37 Sat.: Wisdom 18:14-16; 19:6-9; Psalm 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43; Luke 18:1-8 Sun.: Daniel 12:1-3; Psalm 16:5, 8-11; Hebrews 10:11-14, 18; Mark 13:24-32 TODAY S READINGS First Reading -- The widow of Zarephath had only a handful of flour and a little oil, but made a little cake for Elijah (1 Kings 17:10-16).
