Mission
Statement
We the
people of
St. Mary
Parish,
because
of our
baptismal
promises and
compelled by our
Catholic
identity, seek
to be an
example of
God’s presence
by worship,
education,
and service to
our neighbors
with sensitivity
to those most in
need of
God’s love.

From the Pastor’s Desk! August 21, 2016
Tomorrow, Monday, August 22nd we welcome back the faculty, staff and students
of St. Mary School. Where did those weeks of summer go? 2016 celebrates the
90th year of our school’s opening and we are filled with great excitement and
anticipation for an incredible year as we welcome 377 students - 56 Preschool
Students and 321 Kindergarten thru 8th Grade Students. (These numbers were as
of July 30th and will fluctuate as the year begins. As a reference point, last year at
this time we were at 374 registered students.)
In addition to new students and their families, we welcome 4 new teachers and staff members to our
St. Mary School and Parish Community as well.
Miss Margaret Jacobson is our new kindergarten teacher;
Miss Ashley Grengs is our new first grade teacher;
Miss Lisa Bianchi is our new 4th and 5th grade math teacher with a 4th grade homeroom and,
Mr. Thomas Buczek is our new physical education teacher.
The academic excellence for which St. Mary School is known continues to be a special part of
our parish community and our surrounding communities at large. Manifesting a strong base of
traditions and moral values of our Catholic faith, the mission of education is alive and thriving at
St. Mary school!
And speaking of thriving … Due to an unprecedented demand for our preschool program last
year, the need for additional classroom space was identified. Through the hard work, support and
dedication of our School Advisory Board, Pastoral Council, Finance Council, school and parish
staffs, the reorganization of existing space has been completed! This year we are thrilled to have
separate classrooms for each of our preschool programs – one classroom for the 3 year old program
and one classroom for the 4 year old program. This additional classroom space was achieved by
moving the school offices, moving the art room and the library and combining the School Music
Room with the Church Choir room. The preschool is now located where the school offices and
art room used to be. The Art Room was moved to the former library and the library to the former
music room. The school office was moved to the former preschool room. There was a lot of
moving going on this summer!! Special tours of the new preschool rooms and school offices will
be given by our 8th grade students on Sunday, September 11th after the 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30 a.m.
Masses. Please join us in the Oak Room for cake and coffee as we celebrate 90 wonderful years of
our parish’s beginnings and continued promise and growth!

OUR PART
TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME – AUGUST 28TH
Next week ‘our part’ of the readings, everyone’s part, is to sing this Response:
“GOD, IN YOUR GOODNESS, YOU HAVE MADE A HOME FOR THE POOR.”
The readings are Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29; Psalm 68:4-7, 10-11; Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24; Luke 14:1, 7-14. Reading
this scripture before we attend Mass next Sunday will enable us to be more fully prepared to listen to God’s Word and
faithfully to sing our part, “GOD, IN YOUR GOODNESS, YOU HAVE MADE A HOME FOR THE POOR.”
A MEDITATION
God, in Your goodness, You have made a home.
But my Lord, who should live there – the famous,
The rich, the fair, the blessed of chromosome?
Who could deserve a place so marvelous?
“This is a home for the poor,” He replied.
“But there is plenty room for the humble.
Both kinds will do, but one has to decide
To seek Me or sit outside and grumble.”
Then He said, “You can’t pay your way in here;
Your fame, good looks, your job, or ancestry,
Mean nothing to Me, those things disappear;
They came and went, tested you, informed Me.
Your home is not here in this holy space,
Too many poor and humble in this place.”
Deacon Bob
“You don’t choose your family.
They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”
— Desmond Tutu
St. Mary is made up of many different households that are joined together as one parish family. All
of us are a gift to one another from God. Since January we have welcomed 33 new households to our
parish family and 22 babies have been baptized in our Church! How wonderful that our parish family
is growing - but do you know who these new family members are? Have we properly welcomed and
incorporated them into our parish community?
Imagine that you are a brand new parishioner to St. Mary. What would make you feel welcome in our
Church? In our RE program? In our School? In our parish community? Would you choose to come
to our events if you didn’t know anyone and no one had reached out to welcome you since you made
the conscious decision to join our parish?
If these questions speak to you OR you are one of our new parishioners and have some great ideas how
to make the next new members of our parish feel more welcome, please join the Welcoming Committee
that is being re-introduced at St. Mary. Contact Jane Birmingham at [email protected]
or call 708-447-1020 x109.
Building for the Future is not only about the physical structures on our campus; it is also about building
the bridges throughout our community to ensure that our parish is a place where we welcome, teach and
send forth disciples to do God’s work in the world!

RITE OF CHRISTIAN
INITIATION FOR ADULTS
St. Mary Parish is once again ready to
welcome those adults who are curious or eager to embrace
the Catholic Faith. If you are a Catholic and have not
received the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation or
if you know of anyone who is interested in exploring the
possibility of deepening their relationship with Jesus and
His Church, please contact the rectory. We will begin
meeting sometime after Labor Day. Letters of invitation
will then be sent to all interested parties.
As disciples of Christ each of us is called from our baptism
to be an evangelist in whatever way possible. Our RCIA
program is one of the special ways our parish meets the
needs of those who have a desire to embrace our faith and
for those who wish to enter into a new and closer relation-
ship with Christ. Thank you for sharing God’s love and
the joy of Faith in the world. Deacon Randy Belice

Rosaries Needed for Hospital Patients
During times of illness one often returns to one's faith in many different ways. The most sought religious item in MacNeal hospital are rosaries. Many patients ask for a rosary so that during their hospital stay they can pray the rosary. If they have forgotten how to pray the rosary we give them a Rosary prayer guide with a rosary. If you have any extra rosaries that you do not use at home or would like to donate some rosaries to the patients at MacNeal, please drop them off at the rectory offices. We will most gladly share these Rosaries with the Catholic patients that ask for a Rosary. In the meantime I ask for your continued prayers for the sick at our local hospitals and all those that care for the sick. Matthew Brophy Pastoral Care MacNeal Hospital
DID YOU KNOW…
A Mary Garden, filled with plants and
trees named for Our Blessed Mother and
designed to be a place of beauty, allows
one to experience God’s creation, and
invites prayer and contemplation.
The St. Mary Garden Ministry already
grows over 35 plants and trees named for
Mary on our Parish property.
WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD
MORE “MARY PLANTS”
TO OUR PARISH GARDENS:
Madonna Lily (also known as Annuncia-
tion Lily or Virgin Lily). The waxy white
petals symbolize Our Lady’s bodily purity
and the gold anthers symbolize her purity
of soul.
Please help The St. Mary Garden
Ministry purchase Madonna Lily bulbs
($14.00 each) for our Parish gardens. To thank you
for your donation, we will share a lush
bouquet of flowers from our gardens with
you this summer.
Please make your check payable to
St. Mary Garden Ministry
And deliver your check to
St. Mary Church, 126 Herrick Road,

ST. BARBARA ROSARY - TUESDAY NIGHT
I have begun a Rosary group in English at St. Barbara in Brookfield on Tuesday nights at 6:30 p.m. I started it especially for people that work during the day and do not have the opportunity to pray the Rosary in a group setting. It would be good to see more people pray the Rosary. I have a printed sheet of all the prayers in case there is anyone that is new to praying the Rosary, so they do not feel lost. It is handed out to everyone so no one is embarrassed by asking for one. I want everyone to feel welcome!

The Response of the Gospel of Mercy
Behind these statistics are people, each of them with…
an inalienable dignity which is theirs as a child of God.
-Pope Francis
“In 2015, some 2,000 Syrian refugees drowned in the
Mediterranean attempting to reach European shores.
Others have become victims of trafficking, subject to
abuse en route, or both.”

poverty-focused international humanitarian assistance
and fulfill our nation’s commitment to help Syrian and
other refugees. Call your members of Congress using
