Toribio J. Urian, U.S. Army Pfc. Rudyard M. Urian, U.S. Army Justin Jones, U.S. Marine Corps Adam Malkmus, U.S. Army Jeffery P. Tyson, U.S. Army Robert E. Kelley, U.S. Army Erik T. 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. Bulletin reminder: All notices for the May 18th bulletin need to be in the rectory no later than 9 a.m. on Monday, May 12th. You may drop your bulletin notices off at the rectory in an envelope labeled “bulletin” or you may fax them to 622-5903. The e-mail address for bulletin notices is [email protected]. 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. Lillian Dziedzic Deborah L.

We appreciate your support of our parish ministries and programs. In addition to your weekly offering, we received $1,210.50 in our monthly Building & Maintenance envelopes and several monthly pledge payments totaling $4,278.35 toward our Sharing Christ’s Gifts capital improvement campaign. For all of your support of the parish, thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, grandmothers and Godmothers of the parish; may you have a wonderful day to enjoy and be blessed for all that you do for your families and others. Daniel P. Costigan, Business Manager COLLECTION: May 3-4, 2003 ENVELOPES: $10,977.00 LOOSE MONEY: $4,909.56 TOTAL Donated: $15,886.56 BUDGET: GOAL$15,000 Amount Over (Under) $886.56 When “Making Up” Missed Offertory Collections We really appreciate your commitment to St. Ferdinand Church and to the practice of proper stewardship when you “make up” your regular contribution for missed Sundays or months that you are away from the parish. We also are very grateful to the homebound who mail in their contribution each week / month. Your personal support of the parish is critical to our mission. We wish to point out, however, that it is not really necessary to include all the empty envelopes from previous weeks or months. If you wish, you could write a note on the bottom of the envelope, but even that is not required. If you regularly give $7 or $15 a week, and then a few weeks from now you offer $21 or $45, it will be clear when we look at your record that you were away for a couple of weekends and that you were making up missed collections. What is important is that you use one envelope from each of the different funds; for example, a regular Sunday envelope, an Easter envelope, and a monthly Building & Maintenance envelope. The preferred way would be to write one check for the total of the missed and current Sundays, and then individual checks for the particular holy day or special funds by category. This makes our work easier and the intention of your gift much more clear. If you do wish to include only one check, then please include ONE envelope from each fund so that we can “split” your gift to each of the intended categories, as necessary. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter. Congratulations to our pastor, Father David J. Cortesi, who celebrated his 40th Anniversary of Ordination on May 1st. May God bless you with every good gift. "THANKS TO ALL" Thanks to everyone who helped in making the April 27th, 2003 Pancake Breakfast a great success. We appreciated all who helped not only on the day of the event but also those who gave their time during the days and evenings leading up to the breakfast. A special thanks to the Ushers and their spouses, the Girl Scouts, CRHP, CCD and all the others who helped in setting up, preparing and serving the food, to those who ran the raffle and to those who stayed and helped in the cleanup. !!! Thank You !!! To everyone who attended (650+) - Without you it would not have been a success. Again, "Thank You All". P.S. Looking forward to serving you in October 2003.

MELE 6th MEMORIAL" 21st ANNUAL GOLF OUTING AT Village Green CC - Mundelein, IL Saturday June 7th, 2003 May 2003 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Each year at Mother’s Day, I ask the parishes and parishioners to support the vital work of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, for you are helping to fulfill our Gospel mandate to care for the poor. Mother’s Day is an appropriate time for Catholic Charities’ Annual Appeal, because Catholic Charities acts like a mother who is always caring, aware of the needs of her children, and helping everywhere she is needed. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we take time to appreciate the extraordinary gifts of life and love that mothers bestow on their children. Mothers have the privilege of sheltering and nurturing life from its very beginning, affording their children the security and confidence that they need to thrive. When we were helpless, our parents provided all the basics of life for us: food, clothing, shelter, education, encouragement. They were “all about help,” and fortunately for us, “just about everywhere!” So too, is Catholic Charities, annually providing food for tens of thousands of mothers, infants and children who are poor or hungry; shelter for hundreds of homeless families; and help and hope for families struggling to become or stay self-sufficient. Thousands of home-bound or low-income seniors are visited, fed and comforted, live in affordable Catholic Charities senior residences, or receive services to remain in their own homes. In increasing numbers, families and individuals are coming to Catholic Charities in confidence, trusting that we can help them as they confront great difficulty. I come to you in confidence, gratefully depending on your generosity to assist them through Catholic Charities. On this special decay for mothers, children of all ages take the opportunity to “rise up and call them blessed!” (Proverbs 31:28) I ask that you remember the struggling mothers, grandmothers and families who need your help. Then you and your families will enjoy the blessing that Jesus promised to “the blessed of my Father,” who care for “the least of my brothers and sisters.” (Matthew 25:24) Sincerely yours in Christ, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

Wasze osobiste wparcie jest bardzo wa¿ne dla naszej parafii. Chcielibyœmy zwróciæ uwagê, ¿e nie jest konieczne za³¹czanie wszystkich kopert za nieobecne niedziele . Jeœli ktoœ ma takie ¿yczenie, mo¿e na dole kopertki zaznaczyæ ten fakt. Je¿eli regularnie sk³adacie ofiarê $7 czy $15 ka¿dego tygodnia, to jest oczywiste, ¿e kilka tygodni póŸniej suma ta wyniesie $21 lub $45. Wa¿n¹ rzecz¹ jest u¿ywanie w³aœciwych kopertek, przeznaczonych na ró¿ne fundusze. Na przyk³ad: kopertki niedzielne, Wielkanocne, kopertki na Fundusz Napraw i Rozbudowy. Sugerowalibyœmy, abyœcie sk³¹daj¹c donaje na ró¿ne cele wypisali osobne czeki wed³ug ró¿nych kategorii. Poprzez to znacznie u³atwicie nam pracê i jaœniejszym bêdzie dla nas cel w intencji, którego sk³adacie donacjê. Jeœli jednak macie ¿yczenie wypisania jednego czeku, prosimy wówczas za³¹czyæ TYLKO JEDN¥ kopertkê na ka¿dy cel i wtedy podzielimy sumê na poszczególne kategorie.

May 11, 2003 Fourth Sunday of Easter Page Nine World Communications Day RENEWING THE PLEDGE Bishops of the United States, in Renewing the Mind of the Media, call on us to encourage the media to MIND OF THE The portray what is truthful and good and to discourage them from uses that are harmful. This year Pope John Paul MEDIA II chose as the theme for world Communications Day “the communications media at the service of authentic peace in the light of Pacem in Terris.” In this landmark encyclical written 40 years ago, Blessed John XXIII wrote that peace will be only “an empty-sounding word,” if it is not founded on truth, justice, love and lived out in freedom (cf. # 167). He also pointed out the influence of the media, “which enable the nations to know each other better.” He said that truth demanded that communications media be used with “objectivity.” To help exert a positive influence on the media in their role a potential builders of a civilization of peace and love, please sign the pledge below and return it in next week’s collection. Only your name is requested — no other identifying information. There are also several suggestions for personally addressing media concerns; please choose one or more of them. To sign the pledge online, and find resources to “renew the mind of the media,” log on to www.renewingmedia.org To promote awareness of whether the media is contributing to authentic peace, I promise to do one or more of the following: _____Discuss news coverage with family and/or friends (is it objectively providing the information you need?) _____Contact my local broadcast outlets to submit comments for their license-renewal. Comment especially on whether their news is balanced or whether it sensationalizes violent incidents. _____Contact at least one advertiser that sponsors programs which contribute to or do not contribute to building an authentic peace and ask them to continue or to withdraw their support, respectively. _____Trade one hour a week using media for an hour in prayer for peace. Pledge: We, the Catholic people of the United States, united in our families, parishes, and dioceses, pledge to encourage media leaders to be objective and truthful in reporting news and portraying events, and thus contribute to building an authentic peace.
