FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners,
With the
First Sunday of Lent, we introduced the chanting of the Lord's Prayer in
Latin. We did so for at least two reasons. First, it is hoped that
that simple change will remind us to pray more frequently and more
intensely as we are called to do during the season of Lent. Second, Our
Holy Father and the Constitution on the Liturgy (SC para.# 36, 54,
116) have urged: "that care must be taken to ensure that the faithful
may be able to say or sing in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the
Mass which pertain to them." (SC, #54). The children in our parish
school have been chanting the Lord's Prayer for over a year now.
Moreover, the entrance procession is in silence and the penitential rite
is extended; the Gloria and Alleluia are not sung. All of those musical
changes remind us of the penitential character of Lent. That contrast
also prepares us for the joyous explosion of music at Easter, toward
which all of our Lenten practices are directed.

St. Joseph Novena Prayer March 11 - March 19 O gentle, loving God, you chose Saint Joseph to watch over the Divine Child and Our Blessed Lady, knowing that his care would be loving and sure, constant and wise. We seek his care and his protection, entrusting our spiritual and temporal needs to his fatherly intercession. Saint Joseph, strengthen our faith, renew our hope and keep us steadfast in God’s love. Surround us with His unseen light, and with a trusting heart we will walk in your footsteps, ready to accept God’s Will and carry it out with courage and trusting confidence. -- Carmel Des Plaines |

FROM OUR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, MR. JACK COREY
I started this column giving examples of how our parents, alumni, and parishioners invest their time to make our school and parish a better place for our students. I started to write about two examples, then another came to me and then another, and finally I realized my column would not fit in the bulletin. I did want to give a few of the volunteers kudos for some of the recent opportunities our students have been given. Without Mrs. Neville and Mrs. Perrmann, we would have no drama club. Without Dr. Kohl’s and Mr. Pham there would have been no Destination Imagination team. Without former St. Antoninus grad Brandon A. we would have no Chess Club. Suzie Pfeiffer has been instrumental to our Math Counts team, our Chess Club and Science night. And these are only the ones who played lead roles. We have many who work behind the scenes. Our parish is a great place for children because we have many who do not wait for opportunities to come here, they create them. Congratulations to Katherine R. and Mary B. These two former St. Antoninus students are on the Mercy Mock Trial team. The team competed in the state competition starting on Thursday, March 10th. Mary Burger won Best Attorney in one trial as Mercy advanced to the quarterfinals. Mercy eventually finished fifth in the state. They were also the only all-female team competing in the state competition.

FROM DEACON BOB SCHROEDER: FOR YOUR MARRIAGE In the book, Happy Together, John Bosio outlines some key beliefs about marriage that come from the Catholic tradition. “These beliefs are the reasons husbands and wives stay together, work at their differences, find fulfillment in their relationship, and enjoy each other.” (p. 9) 5: Christ Is Our Help and Our Model – The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us: “Christ dwells with them [the spouses], gives them the strength to take up their crosses and to follow him, to rise again after they have fallen, to forgive one another, to bear one another’s burdens, to ‘be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ,’ and to love one another with supernatural, tender and fruitful love.” (CCC #1642) “In Christ we receive not only God’s graces to help us overcome our ego-centric tendencies, but also the model of self-giving love that God intends for husbands and wives to show toward each other. Christ’s love for the church is the paradigm of marital love.” (p. 13)

HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER GROUP As we look at the lives of those around us, we see illnesses, trials, and difficulties. Most of us have experienced similar situations. Members of the prayer group are initiating a special evening in which we will focus on prayer for people with these concerns. In the past, parishioners, friends, and families have come to us for prayer. For instance, at least three couples have come because of infertility problems, and each couple had a baby within a year! We’d like to say that our effective rate for babies is 100%! Some have come to us with back problems, others with cancer or eye problems, a teenager’s rebellion, and a drug addict. We have seen dramatic changes take place. Sometimes the person who has the problem comes. At other times, a relative or loved one comes to “sit in” for the person with the difficulty. In our prayer meeting this Tuesday we will remember all those suffering from such afflictions. You are invited to come with your concerns – small or large. It is not necessary to give names or to go into great detail. Come and see what God does when two or three are gathered in His name. The Lord will move in power when we open our hearts to Him. In the Chapel at 7:30 PM. |
