January 31, 2016 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Memories of the Future The Future is as Bright as the Promises of God St. John Brebeuf Parish 8307 N. Harlem Ave., Niles, IL 60714 847-966-8145 www.sjbrebeuf.org Page 1 Page 2 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31, 2016 Dear Parishioners, “Faith is confident assurance concerning what was hoped for, a conviction about things you do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 Today, we begin Catholic Schools Week at St. John Brebeuf Parish! Congratulations and best wishes to Ms. Matson and our faculty and staff! May God Bless our children and their families. I hope you enjoy the activities, the Ice Skating and the Open House. We have good people here at SJB! Our school is primarily about passing on the Catholic Faith! The contents of faith are images of our lives. At SJB we try to follow the advice of St. Ignatius of Loyola who invites us to “find God in all things.” Our prayer and service helps the children to develop a spirituality that hears the “cry of the heart, cry of hatred, cry of joy, cry of love.” Hopefully, we teach our dear children not to fall into “Gumption Traps,” ie. anxiety, boredom and impatience. These are things which are escapes from the real moments – from God! Pam Perez, our Youth Minister and Mac Karaban, our Director of Religious Education/Pastoral Associate support our school’s efforts. We are grateful for their ministry. All knowledge of God is a reflection and it only gives us a partial view. It is only a stepping stone...God is mystery. All our ideas and concepts lead to silence before the mystery. We can never have therefore THE theology but rather A theology. Hopefully, SJB School gives our young families the skills and the spiritual imagination to enter the union with Christ more deeply! Father Mike Meany Feast of St. Blaise is Wednesday, February 3. Blessing of throats will take place after all masses. READINGS FOR FEBRUARY 7 First Reading — In a vision Isaiah is called to be a messenger for the LORD of hosts. Isaiah responds, “Send me!” (Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8) Psalm — In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 138). Second Reading — Paul reminds us of the gospel he preached through which we are saved, if we believe it (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]). Gospel — Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish. Simon and his partners leave all to follow Jesus (Luke 5:1-11).

Praying the rosary together in front of the Blessed Sacrament gives many graces and is so peaceful. PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Christ's followers were skeptical when He preached the reality of His Body and Blood as food and drink. St. John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer went about with Him." Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did not understand any more than those who left Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord," he said, "to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." We have the "Word of Eternal Life" right here with us day and night in our Adoration Chapel. Do you have something you want to ask Him? There are several hours needing adorers. Please pick one for your personal hour with Him.

This ministry is crucial to the daily functioning of the church, and today we have a special need for sacristans for the funeral masses held on weekdays and Saturdays. You might consider working in pairs with another sacristan to make the time more fun. What does the Sacristan do? Many things need to be done before liturgy can take place. Bread and wine must be in place, vessels and vestments available, books set out and candles lit, guiding the younger altar servers into place, occasionally reading from Scripture. The ordained ministers often do some of this work, but sometimes they need an extra hand. Don’t worry - you won’t need to take care of everything: the lectors, altar servers, ushers and Eucharistic ministers have responsibilities for making ready the materials that they themselves use. We invite you to consider this ministry of holy duties, serving the liturgy and serving the entire community. Call the office and ask for Barbara or leave your phone number. Page 6 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31, 2016 Children’s Liturgy of the Word Children's Liturgy of the Word is a worship experience geared especially for children ages 6-10. It is a special opportunity for children to understand and appreciate Scripture at Sunday Mass. Basically, after the opening prayer (Collect) at the 10:45 a.m. English Mass and 12:30 p.m. Polish Mass, the children are invited to come forward with two adult Catechists and go to the Music Room in Church to participate in their own Liturgy of the Word. Children’s Liturgy of the Word offers an experience for children to hear Scripture in words they understand and to share their own understanding of God's word. The children return to the main parish assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We warmly invite all children in the parish to participate in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. We are in need of several adults who would like to share their faith with the children at Mass. A catechist has a very important ministry in the church as a teacher of our children. Please give prayerful thought to this volunteer opportunity. The Children’s Liturgy of the Word ministry will continue until June of 2016. We welcome all of our children ages 6-10 to participate in their own Liturgy of the Word! If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Maciek Karaban at 847-966-3269. Thank you!!! FIRST EUCHARIST PROGRAM There will be a meeting for the parents of children preparing for First Eucharist to review the program; to learn more about the theology of the Sacrament of Eucharist, and examine ways in which all members of the family can support the child. At least one parent or guardian of each child is expected to attend this meeting; however, both parents are encouraged to attend. This meeting will be on Tuesday, February 2nd at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Ministry Center. This meeting is for parents only; babysitting will be provided. If you have any questions, please call the Religious Education Office at 847-966-3269. Theology of Park Ridge The Beginning of the End? Pauline Viviano, Ph.D. will be the speaker at the Wednesday, February 3, Theology of Park Ridge presentation at 9:15 am at Our Lady of Hope Parish, 9711 W. Devon. Her talk/ discussion will be on “When an Ending is a Beginning: Creation to Consummation to New Age is the Bible.” As Theology of Park Ridge ends its theological adventure, it is appropriate to reflect on “endings” in the Bible. We will explore how it is that endings in the Bible have a way of lending to new beginnings. Cost is $10. Coffee and… is served. Please call Judi Stephens for information or if you need a ride: 847-842-9295.

Science has determined that at conception, a new individual comes into being, possessing a unique genetic code that has already determined that individual’s sex, fingerprints, hair and eye color, facial features, etc. It truly is a human life; so we must end abortion.

Gratulacje i najlepsze życzenia dla Pani Matson i naszego wydziału i personelu! Niech Bóg błogosławi nasze dzieci i ich rodziny. Mam nadzieję, że skorzystacie z różnych imprez tj. jazda na łyżwach czy dni otwarte w szkole. Mamy tylu dobrych ludzi tutaj w SJB! Nasza szkoła to przede wszystkim troska o przekazywanie wiary katolickiej! Wszelkie "rzeczy" związane z wiarą są obrazem naszego życia. W SJB staramy się iść za radą świętego Ignacego Loyoli, który zaprasza nas do "znalezienia Boga we wszystkich rzeczach." Nasza modlitwa i służba pomaga dzieciom rozwijać duchowość, która słyszy "krzyk serca, krzyk nienawiści, płacz radości, wołanie miłości." Mamy nadzieję, że uczymy nasze kochane dzieci, aby nie wpaść w tzw. ”sprytne pułapki”, tzn. niepokój, znudzenie i zniecierpliwienie. Są to rzeczy, które odbiegają od rzeczywistych momentów - od Boga! Pam Perez, nasza koordynator młodzieży i Maciek Karaban, nasz dyrektor edukacji religijnej oraz duszpasterz świecki, wspierają wysiłki naszej szkoły. Jesteśmy wdzięczni za ich posługę. Cała wiedza o Bogu jest tylko odbiciem, który daje nam częściowy widok. To tylko droga... Bóg jest tajemnicą. Wszystkie nasze pomysły i koncepcje doprowadzają do milczenia przed tajemnicą. Nigdy nie możemy mieć teologii, ale raczej teologie. Mamy nadzieję, że SJB Szkoła dodaje naszym młodym rodzinom umiejętności i duchowej wyobraźni, aby wejść do zjednoczenia z Chrystusem głębiej! Ks. Mike Meany Duszpasterstwo Zakrystianów Prosimy rozważyć zostanie zakrystianem w St. John Brébeuf. Służba ta ma kluczowe znaczenie dla codziennego funkcjonowania kościoła, a dziś mamy specjalną potrzebę zakrystianów dla msze pogrzebowe odbywające się w dni powszednie i soboty. Można rozważyć pracę w parach z innym zakrystianami, aby razem było raźniej. Czym się zajmują zakrystianie? Wiele rzeczy trzeba zrobić przed rozpoczęciem się każdej liturgii. Chleb i wino musi być na swoim miejscu, naczynia i szaty dostępne, przygotowanie określonych ksiąg i świece zapalone, przygotowanie młodszych ministrantów do służby, a także od czasu do czasu czytanie z Pisma Świętego. Nasi wyświęceni duszpasterze często wykonują niektóre z tych prac, ale czasami potrzebują dodatkowej pary rak. Nie martw się - nie musisz dbać o wszystko: lektorzy, ministrantów, szafarze eucharystii czy tez porządkowi mają obowiązek przygotowywania materiałów, z których oni sami korzystają. Zapraszamy do rozważenia tej posługi świętych obowiązków w służbie liturgii jak tez i całej wspólnocie. Zadzwoń do biura i poproś o Barbarę lub zostaw swój numer telefonu.
