There have been comments on both sides of this issue. Some people are very appreciative of the fact that people are not carrying on conversations inside the church where we worship. The atmosphere of quiet helps them to pray by spending these few moments of the week in quiet prayer before and after Mass. Other people want to be able to greet those around them, or say hello to those they know, and maybe have a conversation about the past week. Some of these people feel like the atmosphere of quiet makes the church cold and unfriendly, and we all know that Christ does not call us to be cold and unfriendly toward each other. Let us acknowledge this point first: whatever has been said or you may have heard in the past, there is no rule about "talking in church at Christ the King. Secondly: we encourage you to be respectful of your fellow parishioners and the sacred space in which we worship together our heavenly Father. Thirdly: we encourage you to use the narthex as well as the plaza by the bell tower of the church for as much visiting, socializing, and talking as you would like. We hope this clarification helps us to grow as a parish in the love of Christ.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
St. James teaches that those who are poor in the eyes of society are the ones who have been chosen to inherit the Kingdom of God. Indeed, we are saved because of our poverty; we are redeemed out of our need; not because of our material wealth or achievements that the world finds praiseworthy. St. James also suggests that we are stewards of others, especially the poor; and it is how we respond to the poor and needy that will define our relationship with the Lord. How do we respond to the less fortunate right within our own parish?

Spirituality: God Doesn't Care What You Wear to Church......But your neighbors do.
There was a time not so long ago when folks just knew what was appropriate attire for church and what wasnt. They didnt need a reminder. For instance, when I look back to pictures of crowds at Cleveland Indians games from the 1950s, the men were wearing the same outfits to the ball game that they would wear to Mass on Sunday morningsdress pants, a shirt, a tie and a hat. In other words, the culture and the church were on the same page in regard to proper attire. The same, I am told, is true of air travel. There was a time when people actually dressed up in their Sunday best to fly from one city to another, whether they were flying in first class or coach. Cultural trends have changed dramatically in recent years as far as dress is concerned, and we Americans have become much more casual in our attire. And since it is now acceptable to dress down for baseball games, air travel and even the theatre, we shouldnt be too surprised that this trend has carried over to church. But is there anything we can do about it?
Mayslake Ministries is pleased to present a day with three renowned speakers. Join us for an inspiring event that is sure to bring enrichment to your faith life. Date: October 6, 2012 from 9am-3pm Location: The Abbington Glen Ellyn, IL Cost: $75 each; $65 catechist/ religious/clergy rate Tickets include continental breakfast and a boxed lunch.

Join us for a class on this Pastoral Letter: September 19th and 26th at 7:00 pm in the Parish Life Center
While marriage is a special blessing for Christians because of the grace of Christ, marriage is also a natural blessing and gift for everyone in all times and cultures. It is a source of blessing to the couple, to their families, and to society and includes the wondrous gift of co-creating human life. Indeed, as Pope John Paul II never tired of reminding us, the future of humanity depends on marriage and the family. It is just such a conviction that has led us, the Catholic bishops of the United States, to write this pastoral letter. usccb This class is for married, single, divorced. It is to bring understanding to what the Catholic Church teaches on marriage by understanding our pastoral letter. It is not necessary to have read the pastoral letter prior to attending the class. To register or for more information contact Eileen Maggiore at 630-396-6076 or by email at eileen@ctklombard.org.
