All of Us - #568 by Fr. Larry Year of the Sunday Mass A few months ago, the Archdiocese of Chicago launched the Year of the Sunday Mass as part of the second year of the Strategic Pastoral Plan, entitled Reflect Christs Light. (Last year, our attention was directed to evangelizing and reaching out to our teens who represent the future of our Church.) The Year of the Sunday Mass signals the initiative to reclaim the center of our faith our weekly encounter with the living, risen Christ in the Eucharist. With the Year of the Sunday Mass, we stand at the center of who we are as believers, united in faith, as the very Church of God. The Year of the Sunday Mass was prompted by some very important statistics gathered as part of the research phase of the Strategic Pastoral Plan. The majority of Catholics in the Archdiocese do not attend Mass regularly. Of those who were raised Catholic, 68% still claim their affiliation with the Catholic Church. Of this group, 23% say they attend Mass weekly and 21% attend Mass at least once a month, while the remaining 56% participate only a few times a year. The first aim during the Year of the Sunday Mass is to strengthen the understanding and motivation of those who do attend Mass weekly or at least once a month. It is my hope that we can create a sense of renewed faith in the Eucharist and a clear witness to its power in our lives. The Eucharist is truly the heart of the life of our parish. Parishes are using several initiatives to help promote our awareness of the Year of the Sunday Mass, as well as deepen our understanding and appreciation for the Eucharist we share as the Body of Christ. You may have noticed that each week in our bulletin we have included articles entitled, Know the Mass, One Word at a Time. These are simple articles that explain what happens at Mass. The one word chosen every week is usually a verb, describing actions like, bless, sing, praise, and adore. These various actions collectively help us to offer praise and thanks to God through this sacred meal. Please take the time to read these brief articles that have the ability to spiritually enlighten and guide us in our prayer at Mass. Also, our bulletin every week offers reflection questions that refer to the Sunday readings and homily. This is a great way to allow the Word of God to stay in our minds and hearts throughout the week. Sometimes we are blessed by new insights to our familiar Sunday readings long after we walk out of church. (I believe that

this is often the work of the Holy Spirit.) The weekly reflection questions help us to hold onto the Word of God wherever we go, Monday through Saturday. Also in the bulletin over the next several weeks, our Pastoral Staff and members of our Parish Council will share their reflections on the significance of the Eucharist in their lives. They will give witness to various ways that the Sunday Mass has been important to them. We will be able to see through the testimony of our fellow believers how they value the Sunday Mass. Wow! One of my earliest memories of attending Sunday Mass goes back to the early 1960s when I was little kid. A few family rituals were tied into our Sunday morning. This was a good thing, because as a kid, you always knew what was going to happen on Sunday morning. There was no guessing. Going to church was the plan, and my parents made sure the plan was always in place. This is the one experience I am very fortunate to have received from my parents in my childhood. I would call it spiritual clarity. My parents instilled in my older brothers and me the notion of, This is who we are, and this is what we do on Sunday. There was a sense that we need to be somewhere, and church was that somewhere. Sunday morning always felt a little different than the other days of the week. The morning always seemed to move slowly in a quiet and graceful way. I am sure a big part of this was due to the fact that there was no school, no work and no organized sports for kids on Sunday morning. Sunday gave us a chance to be together and pray together as a family. There were few interruptions, and that was nice. I always knew what to expect on Sunday because the routine never varied. As a family, we usually went to the same Mass. We walked to church, St. Wenceslaus, which was only a few blocks away from our home. My parents, brothers and I always sat in the same pew, in the same order. We saw the same families in church every week, always in the same pew. When you are six years old, its hard to follow along with the Mass, even with the best worship aides that tried to explain what the Latin prayers were about. But for me, as a young kid, it was neat to be in the pew next to my mom and dad and watch them pray. I saw an inner goodness about them that was revealed when we prayed together as a family. These moments also fostered within me a sense of peace and security. Church was a good place to be on Sunday, and God always seemed really close to us.

Sunday Mass also carried with it a sense of mystery and awe. Back then, everything seemed larger than life big statues, long sermons and solemn processions that the Felician sisters would orchestrate for the May Crowing. People looked to the priest to be connected to the divine. He was the messenger of hope, reminding people that God did not give up on them, and was still very much a part of their everyday lives. Some twenty years later, I walked into St. Wenceslaus to celebrate my first Mass as an ordained priest. This was a very moving and humbling experience to come to the very place where the Catholic faith was handed on to me by my parents. I was very conscious of the people in my life that walked with me on my journey of faith, and who helped me to answer Gods call to serve in the Church. It was an honor and a privilege to stand at the altar and be able to feed those before me with the Bread of Life. I remember being overwhelmed by the love of God as I held the consecrated bread and wine in prayer, and at the same time looking out into the congregation and seeing the faces of family and friends. I knew what St. Paul meant; for us to be the Body of Christ. The best part of Sunday Mass for me is the opportunity for us to share in the Body of Christ, so that we live as the Body of Christ. I realize how we need to be connected to Christs presence in our lives, and how Christ desires to be close to our hearts. How Many Are Here? During the month of October, the Office of Research and Planning for the Archdiocese of Chicago asks every parish to count the number of people who attend Sunday Mass. This helps to identify and track current trends and patterns in regards to how parishioners practice their faith. It also can reflect if a parish is spiritually growing. As our ushers gather this information during these next few weeks, please keep in mind the importance of your presence here on Sunday. It is not uncommon for some St. Cyrils parishioners to attend Mass at a neighboring Catholic parish. I pray that St. Cyrils will be your spiritual home and your primary place of worship. This way, our numbers will be truly accurate and give me a sense of how we are doing overall. Respecting Life October is designated as Respect Life month. Please take the time to read the helpful information provided by our Tri-Parish ProLife Committee. Also, throughout the month, various activities will be offered to help us pray and support the sanctity of all human life that comes from our good and gracious God.

Welcome to SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish


The Parish Staff of St. Cyrils welcomes all to our historic parish that has carried on the mission of Jesus since 1884.

We have begun to participate in our first service project which is the Baby Bottle project. Each student has been give a baby bottle that is empty and they have been asked to fill it with change to help moms and babies in need at the Womens Center. I am truly blessed to have the staff that I do volunteer each week and I just want to say thanks for all your hard work and dedication. We do not have classes today or Monday but we do have class on Wednesday! Reminder: There is a parent meeting next Sunday, October 14th at 3:30 PM in the church for all parents who have a second grader who will be making their First Reconciliation this year.

I would like to congratulate all of the students who participated in the Providence High School Academic Bowl on Saturday, September 29th. They competed against 20 other schools. Our seventh grade team finished in 4th place overall. We are very proud to acknowledge the following students: Nick Bratkiv: 2nd place Language Arts Elise Viz: 3rd place Math Patrick McMahon: 4th place Social Studies Thank you to the talented and dedicated team of Junior High teachers who prepared them so well for this event, and to the parents of the competing students for their help. Our entire school is so very proud of them! We have had some great projects and activities happening within our school. I have seen our students in preschool listen to some good stories involving the letters of the alphabet. They also took part in their first fire drill! Our kindergarteners are hard at work developing their reading and listening skills. All students from grades 1-8 recently completed their first Reading Probes. These are very short tests done on an individual basis with the teacher. We also have new English books being used in our school. These were purchased at the end of our last school year. Teachers and students alike are enjoying the books and happy to try some of the new activities they contain. Recently, our 7th graders were busy using our new iPads to learn their new vocabulary words. We are a very busy place! Dont forget to mark your calendars for Friday, November 9th. Thats the date of our Mothers Club annual fall fundraiser. Many, many things we have in our school are the result of the Mothers Clubs hard work and commitment to our school. This years theme is Double Down on Dreams, and it promises to be a fantastic evening. All of the proceeds from this evening directly benefit our school. As always, thank you for your continued help and support. Mrs. S. Tkachuk Principal

In introducing the Year of Faith, the Holy Father spoke of the grave difficulties of our time, and the need for the Church to lead people out of the desert and clasp sinners to its bosom. He suggested a path of penance and renewal and called for authentic conversion and witness to charity so the Church might be the visible community of Gods mercy.

Helping Hands Needs Your Help
Helping Hands collects food to distribute to members of the Lemont community. Grocery bags are available in the back of church to remind you to consider picking up items on your next grocery visit. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated. We are always in need of non-perishable foods like canned soups and vegetables, pasta, sauces, chili, tuna, cereal and baking and pancake mixes; also non-food items such as paper towels, napkins, soaps (hand, dish and laundry), shampoo, mouthwash and toothpaste. Thank you for your support and generosity! Front Cover:
