Secondi and Sandra Pruett LITTLE THINGS Faithfulness in little things is a big thing. —St. John Chrysostom June 1, 2003 The Ascension of the Lord The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126 Dear parishioners of St. Ferdinand, Over the last three months I have been blessed by God with many amazing experiences. It is God who prepared this wonderful experience for me, and it is God who helped me to do my best during my internship. I want to thank God for all these blessings that I have received here. Also, I want to take the opportunity to thank all of you, the wonderful people of St. Ferdinand parish. Thank you for your kindness and openness, for welcoming me, and for being patient with me. Moreover, I would like to thank all the teachers and students of the parish school for letting me work with them. It has been an extraordinary experience. Furthermore, I wish to thank the Sisters for all their support and prayers. Also, I thank all the parish staff for all they have done for me. In a special way I thank Fr. Cortesi, a wonderful person and a great pastor, for his support, encouragement, and advice; I also thank Fr. Holbrook for his help and support, as well as all the priests in the house. I ask all of you to pray for me as I continue my formation for priesthood to serve here in Chicago. I will remember all of you in my prayers. May Mary, the mother of Jesus, help us all to grow in love and service to God and to one another. Many thanks! Sincerely, Page Three As members of the parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so ... please remember in your prayers: Joseph Balicki June Landers Timothy Benson James Lamberti Albin Bilinski Sam LoDolce Frank Bisceglie Netta Lohrmann Stephanie Bosco Eleanor Loscuito Gabriella Bragagnolo Elizabeth Ann Maher Alba Jennie Burroughs Susan Maher Benito Cabanin Francesco Mangialardo Claudio Clemente Mary Martin Bishop Edwin Conway Estelle “Toots” McGuigan Gayle DeBortoli Emilia Moreno Anna Diks Eleanor O’Donovan Honor Draftz Dan Oliver, Jr. Irene M.

This was the lowest collection of the fiscal year. The offertory on Memorial Day weekend has typically been one of the lowest collections through the years, and has been the lowest for the past three years. Obviously there are a lot of people away for the long weekend and that combines with it being the fourth Sunday of the month, which is almost always lower than the other weekends anyway. Our other two long summer holiday weekends are at the beginning of the month when we receive the majority of the monthly contributions, so the impact appears less dramatic. However, there always is an impact when less people are in Church, no matter when it occurs. As we enter into the summer months it is time to remind ourselves that we need to make up our usual stewardship of the parish when we return home or before we leave on vacation. The regular offertory funds a major portion of everything we do here at St. Ferdinand’s, and it appears by our below-average collections of the past three weeks that summer has come early this year. As costs continue to rise each year, it becomes more and more difficult to pay our weekly expenses when the number of summer collections fall far short of our needed weekly offertory budget. For all those who so consistently support the Church each week and month of the year both financially and by sharing their time and talents, we are extremely grateful. Please pray that more parish families will join us in the work of this very large and always busy vineyard of the Lord. Daniel P.

Herrera, U.S. Air Force Farid Farah, U.S. Army Reserves Let us pray. God of love and compassion, before this season of unrest, we had grown comfortable with thinking of them only as they relate to us - as our parents and spouses, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends. Today, history and circumstance, force us to release them into your care and into our country’s service. We pray for them and bless them in your name. Grant them your protection and a safe return home. Amen.

Zazwyczaj sk³adka zbierana podczas weekendu Memorial Day jest najni¿sza w roku, gdy¿ wiele osób wyje¿d¿a poza parafiê, aby spêdziæ swój czas z bliskimi lub trochê odpocz¹æ. Tak siê sk³ada, ¿e Memorial Day przypada zawsze na czwart¹ niedzielê miesi¹ca gdzie sk³adka niedzielna jest zwykle najni¿sza co te¿ jest przyczyn¹ zani¿onej kolekty. Powoli zbli¿aj¹ siê dwa kolejne œwiêta: 4 lipca- Forth of July i 1 wrzeœnia- Labor Day, przypadaj¹ce z kolei na pierwszy weekend miesi¹ca, kiedy to otrzymujemy wiêkszoœæ miesiêcznych ofiar na utrzymanie koœcio³a i parafii. Wchodz¹c w letni czas, kiedy wielu z nas wyje¿d¿a na wakacje poza parafiê pamiêtajmy o uzupe³nieniu naszych ofiar na rzecz koœcio³a, czy to przed wyjazdem z domu, czy po powrocie. Z roku na rok wzrastaj¹ wydatki i coraz trudniejszym staje siê op³acanie tygodniowych rachunków, zw³aszcza w czasie letnim, kiedy sk³adki s¹ o wiele ni¿sze. Fundusze zebrane podczas regularnej sk³adki niedzielnej, prawie w ca³oœci przeznaczane s¹ na utrzymanie koœcio³a i patrz¹c na nasze kolekty wydaje siê, ¿e czas wakacyjny ju¿ nadszed³. Tym, którzy stale wspieraj¹ koœció³ ka¿dego tygodnia, miesi¹ca przez ca³y rok, czy to finansowo, czy te¿ poœwiêcaj¹c swój czas i talenty- jesteœmy niezmiernie wdziêczni. Prosimy ka¿dego z was o modlitwê, aby coraz wiêcej rodzin zaanga¿owa³o siê do pracy w wielkiej Winnicy Pañskiej.

The Ascension originated as a Thursday celebration because of the story of the event from the opening of the Acts of the Apostles. There, Luke says that Jesus rose from the dead, appeared to believers for 40 days and then ascended to the heavens. Even though the accounts of the ascension in the Gospels suggest it took place after a shorter period of time, the liturgy of the church has honored the chronology from Acts by celebrating the Ascension on Thursday of the sixth week of Easter. The Solemnity of the Ascension is one of 10 days that may be a holy day of obligation. Not all countries have the same holy days. In those countries where the Ascension is not a holy day, the solemnity is transferred to the following Sunday. The United States is so large and its needs so varied that Rome has granted it permission to decide on the date of this one solemnity by region. It is possible within the United States for Ascension to be on a Thursday in one state and on a Sunday in another. Travelers are expected to honor the custom of the place where they are that week. Those celebrating Ascension on Sunday will miss the Mass texts of the Seventh Sunday of Easter, filled with anticipation for the Spirit of Pentecost. Those attending weekday Masses may notice that the responsorial psalm on Friday and Saturday of the Sixth Week of Easter is a seasonal psalm for the Ascension, even if their community will not celebrate the solemnity until Sunday.
