Called to Eternal Life August 7, 2012

We thank you for your prayers and support during our time of loss. We truly appreciate all that you have done to help us through our sadness and sorrow. Please remember Ed in your prayers in the days to come. We will hold you in our prayers as well. Fr. Brian & Fr. Larry

When those we love go away, they never really leave us; they are with us now, wherever we are. Those whom we have cherished, live on forever, for love wraps itself around the heart. Although its difficult now, someday beyond our tears and all the worlds wrongs; beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch, we shall all understand.

Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching: Solidarity-We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. We are our brothers and sisters keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. At the core of the culture of solidarity is the pursuit of justice and peace. Pope Paul VI taught that if you want peace, work for justice. The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. Our love for all our sisters and brothers demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict. Care for Gods Creation-We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an Earth Day slogan; it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of Gods creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored. ~all references from USCCB Over 365 Catholic Churches in Chicago carry cultural heritage, spiritual significance and artistic glory. Enjoy a mini-pilgrimage in the old Chicago neighborhoods, alive in worship and revitalize your vision of life. Tour includes professionally guided visit to three churches, guided art, architecture and history explanations with time for observation, exploration and prayer.

St. Patrick Employment Ministry: H.O.P.E. Helping Our People seeking Employment The next meeting of the H.O.P.E. Employment Support Ministry to help those who need to find employment will take place on Tuesday, August 14, at 7 pm in the St. Patrick Parish Ministry Classroom 8 (Cass Street building). From 7 pm to 8 pm we will cover basic job search process skills for first time attendees such as writing effective resumes, cover letters, and job search strategies. From 8 pm to 8:30 pm, we will give perspectives on what HR managers look for in resumes and interviews, and answer your questions about job searching. All are welcome to attend. This is a free seminar. If you are in need of employment, or have employment opportunities to offer, please join us on Tuesday, August 14 at 7 pm in the St. Patricks Parish Ministry (Classroom 8).

marry Catholics want to share not only their lives and values, but also their faith.
i Young parents who are expecting

their first born or have children starting school often find that this is the time to join a faith community that will help them find God in their lives and establish moral values in their family.
i People who are baptized either in the Catholic faith or

another Christian religion, but were not brought up or educated in the religion. As the years go by, they may seek to return to their Christian roots.
i People from all backgrounds that are seeking God in

their liveslooking for answers to life and death questions. The Catholic Church offers great traditions of Scripture, the worship of God in vibrant liturgies, intellectual studies of theology, joyful celebrations through the Sacraments, care for the sick and the dying and love and hope for the poor of the world. How Does a Person Become Catholic? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a process by which the Catholic Church welcomes new members into its communal life. The RCIA is a living experience of the Church, and not just a series of classes which teach knowledge about the Church. Although there is instruction in the facts of the faith, instruction is but one part of a larger experience of knowing and sharing with other members of the Church. Who is RCIA for? It is for non-Christian men and women; for Christians that are not Catholic; for Catholics who are baptized, but have no religious training. How Can I Join? The Catholic churches in Lemont work together in this experience. Contact Fr. Larry or Doreen at (630) 2572414 and watch the bulletins for further details. New Group Now Forming for Fall

College Connection
Lemont Tri-Parish Youth Ministry has introduced a new program called the College Connection. The program is designed to keep a connection to students leaving home and their parishes through mail that will be sent to them while they are away at school. Students will receive bulletins, care packages, prayers and other surprises sent to their mailboxes while away at school. To be a part of the program email Mike Lundberg (Tri-Parish youth minister) at lemontyouthm@sbcglobal.net with the name and school address of the student that would like to participate.
