Born to Eternal Life

Emma Stiltz (mother of Nick Borodaj) has passed into Eternal Life. We pray that she will inherit the promise of Christ.

Lent is the season of silence. It is a time to enter into the desert, as Jesus did for 40 days. In the February 26 issue of Chicago Catholic, please look for the article from Cardinal Blase Cupich about Lent and silence (chicagocatholic.com). In that piece, the Cardinal asks pastors to invite their communities to take extra time for silence after Communion to allow God to speak to us, for “nothing in all of creation is so like God as silence.”

La Cuaresma es un tiempo de silencio. Es un tiempo para adentrarnos en el desierto, como lo hizo Jesús durante 40 días. En el ejemplar del mes de marzo del periódico Católico, por favor busque el artículo del Cardenal Blase Cupich sobre la Cuaresma y el silencio (catolicoperiodico.com). En ese ejemplar, el Cardenal pide a los párrocos que inviten a sus feligreses a dedicar unos minutos para el estar en silencio después de la comunión y así permitir que Dios nos hable, porque “nada en toda la creación es tan parecido a Dios como el silencio”.

Office of the Archbishop 835 North Rush Street Chicago, IL 60611-2030 312.534.8230 archchicago.org

February 9, 2017 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, It is with some urgency that I write to you today, about a bill in our Illinois legislature, HB 40. The bill in question, if passed, would use tax dollars to pay for taking the life of a child in the womb through an abortion. There are strong indications that HB 40 could be enacted into law if we fail to act. In addition to mandating state funding of abortion through the Medicaid program, HB 40 also calls for abortion coverage in state employees’ health care plans. It also allows for the use of tax dollars to fund grants to organizations that refer, counsel for and perform abortions, e.g., Planned Parenthood. All of these state-funded mandates are currently prohibited by Illinois law. We have raised our voices in the past for those who have no voice, whether they be the immigrant or the refugee, the poor, or the unemployed. We now need to speak for the children in the womb, who are the weakest among us. We need to let our elected officials know that taxpayers should not be forced to fund the taking of human life. In fact, tax money should be used to fund prenatal services for the poor and child care for working mothers, as well as expand health-care options for those in need. Please join me in advocating for all life by urging your state representative to reject HB 40 and work instead to pass a budget that funds all essential services. The Season of Lent begins soon. Lent is a word that means “springtime,” the time of new life. Let us make this Lent a celebration of life by protecting the new life and hope the birth of a child brings to the world.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Cardinal Blase J. Cupich Archbishop of Chicago

Este fin de semana, nuestra parroquia llevará a cabo desde las bancas de nuestro templo el denominado Fin de Semana de Compromiso de la Campaña Católica Anual. Por favor, recuerde que la Campaña Católica Anual es muy diferente de una colecta especial que ocurre una sola vez. Esta es una campaña de promesas de donativos en la cual usted puede hacer un donativo a pagar en plazos.

El lema de la Campaña "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo", fue elegido para recordarnos que nuestras contribuciones a la Campaña Católica Anual permiten a los ministerios y los servicios que son financiados compartir el amor de Dios con muchas otras personas de nuestra parroquia y de nuestra Arquidiócesis.

Sin embargo, cada promesa de donativo hace una diferencia, porque todas las parroquias participan en la campaña y los donativos de muchos permiten a nuestra arquidiócesis ofrecer los ministerios y los servicios que son tan necesarios.

Gracias por su devota consideración y generosa respuesta.

This weekend, our parish will be conducting the Annual Catholic Appeal in-pew Commitment Weekend. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The ACA theme, “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself,” was selected to remind us that our contributions to the Annual Catholic Appeal enable the funded ministries and services to share God’s love with many others in our Parish and our Archdiocese. Each pledge makes a difference because all Parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.

Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal.

The special Paschal fast, as well as abstinence, are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday.

¿ESTÁ USTED REGISTRADO EN LA PARROQUIA?

Inscribirse en su parroquia es una declaración de su deseo de ser parte de una comunidad Católica y un compromiso a la vida de esa parroquia. Ser un miembro inscrito de la parroquia te facilitará los preparativos cuando llegue el tiempo de pedir un bautismo, la inscripción al catecismo, las bodas, cuando te piden que seas un padrino o madrina en un bautismo y hasta en los funerales.

En varias ocasiones nos piden cartas de affidávit para padrinos o madrinas de Bautismo, Comunión o Confirmación. Sólo podemos proveerle cartas a los miembros de la parroquia que conocemos, los que están inscritos, activos, y contribuyendo a la parroquia. ¿Cómo sabe usted que está inscrito? Un miembro inscrito recibe correspondencia de la parroquia.

¿Eres miembro inscrito de la parroquia? Si no lo es, por favor inscríbase. Únicamente tiene que ir a la Oficina Parroquial y pedir que se le registre.
