Fr. Joe’s Journal El Diario del Padre Joe We continue the season of Advent: a time of preparation. The season challenges us to examine how we live. Our lives are a gift from God. This Monday we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the pa-troness of the Americas at the 7 pm mass. This week we continue to ask all our pa-rishioners to help "To Teach Who Christ Is” effort. Last weekend we received 21 more pledges that has brought us to nearly $200, 000. I thank all who have given pledges and those working on the campaign. I know the sacrifice many of you have made. We continue to open the possibility of making a five year pledge to all of the parish this weekend. A gift of only $5 dollars a week over the five years would bring in $1,300, of $20 would bring in $ 7,200 and $50 a week $13,000. I ask even if you can not give at this time to fill out a pledge card. Please pray about what you can give to support this effort to help the parish and Archdiocese. The archdiocese has asked all parishes to do this campaign. We have begun to look forward to the “Renew My Church” process. It calls us to evangelize the whole community and to make disciples who will do the work of the Lord. We need your help in managing the parish calendar. To best serve our parish we need to know when our parish organizations and groups plan on having their activities. Please notify the rectory when planning an event and be considerate of the needs of your fellow par-ish organizations. We will be implementing a new sys-tem in the coming year. We also will monitor the fund-raisers that go on in the parish. In the Archdiocese fund-raisers held in the parish should usually benefit the parish or archdiocesan activities. This is especially important at this moment in the archdiocese. Other fundraising events should be approved by the finance committee. We request that you let us know about hospital stays. Hospitals because of legal require-ments do not notify us about parishioners who are in the hospital. Please let us know if you or a loved are in the hospital. We offer prayers for all those in need. We pray for those who are ill, recovering from surgery, shut-in or are in nursing homes. Patience! We have had to replace our com-puters. Our old computers no longer worked so we needed new ones. We are still figuring out our new com-puters and this has effected many things including our bulletin printing. Once again thank you for your patience. See this bulletin for other key articles and event announcements.

God bless you, your pastor, Fr. Joe

Continuamos el Adviento: un tiempo de preparación. Este tiempo nos invita a examinar co-mo vivimos. Nuestras vidas con un don de Dios. Este lunes celebramos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guada-lupe, la patrona de las Américas con misa a las 7 pm. Esta semana continuamos pidiendo a todos nuestros feligreses que participen con el esfuerzo “Enseñar Quien Es Cristo”. El fin de semana pasado recibimos 21 donaciones que nos acerca-ron a las casi $200,000. Agradezco a todos los que han donado y trabajado en esta campaña. Se el sacrificio que muchos de ustedes han hecho. Continuamos con la posibi-lidad donar en un plazo de cinco años a toda la parroquia este fin de semana. Una donación de $5 dólares a la sema-na durante cinco años seria $1,300, de $20 seria $7,200 y $50 a la semana seria $13,000. Les pido que si aun no lo puede hacer en este momento, llene la tarjeta con su pro-mesa. Por favor, contemple en oración lo que puede dar en este campaña para ayudar a la parroquia y la Arquidió-cesis. La Arquidiócesis ha pedido a todas las parroquias que hagan esta campaña. Hemos entrado al proceso “Renueva Mi Iglesia”. Nos llama a evangelizar a todos la comunidad y a hacer discípulos que hagan realidad la obra del Señor. Necesitamos ayudada con el calendario pa-rroquial. Para servir mejor a nuestra parroquia, debe-mos saber cuando nuestra parroquia, grupos y organiza-ciones planean tener estas actividades. Por favor, notifi-que a la rectoría cuando planea un evento y sea conside-rado de las necesidades de las otras organizaciones parro-quiales. Implementaremos un nuevo sistema al comienzo del próximo año. También estaremos revisando eventos de recolección de fondos en la parroquia. La Arquidióce-sis requiere que eventos en las parroquias deben normal-mente beneficiar la parroquia o actividades arquidiocesa-nas. Otros eventos deben ser aprobados por el comité de finanzas. Les pedimos que nos avisen cuando están en el hospital. Los hospitales, por razones legales no nos avisan cuando un feligrés está en el hospital. Necesi-tamos que nos avisen si usted o un ser querido está en el hospital. Rezamos por los necesitados. Rezamos por to-dos los que están enfermos, recuperando de operaciones, y en los hogares de ancianos. Paciencia! Hemos remplazado nuestras computadoras. Nuestras computadoras viejas no funcionaban, necesitábamos nuevas. Todavía estamos tratando de entender las nuevas y ha afectado varias co-sas, incluyendo nuestro boletín. Le agradecemos su pa-ciencia. Lea el boletín para otros artículos claves y anuncios de eventos.

Dios los bendiga, su párroco Padre Joe

Visits from our sharing parish The past two Fridays students from St. Jo-seph School in Wilmette have come to work in the food pantry. The students are eighth graders and preparing for Confirmation next Spring. They worked with their teacher to conduct a food drive for our food pantry. Along with parents they delivered the donations and then stayed to work. They met our clients and helped them shop, the sorted the food that they collected along with other various tasks. Most had never worked in a food pantry. At the end of the day they commented that the families coming to the pantry were just like them! We have partnered with St. Joseph for over 15 years. There students are al-ways very respectful, well behaved and hard work-ing. We are grateful for the continued support of the school and parish.

Visitas de nuestra parroquia compañera

Los últimos dos viernes estudiantes de la escuela St. Joseph en Wilmette han venido a trabajar a la despensa. Los estudiantes son de octavo grado y se están preparando para la confirmación en la primave-ra. Junto con sus maestros, tuvieron una colecta de comida para nuestra despensa. Junto con sus padres, trajeron las donaciones y se quedaron a trabajar. Co-nocieron a nuestros clientes y los ayudaron con su elección, organizaron la comida que recolectaron junto con otras tareas. La mayoría nunca había traba-jado en una despensa. ¡Al final día comentaron que las familias que vienen a la despensa con como ellos! Hemos sido compañeros de St. Joseph por más de 15 años. Estamos agradecidos por el continuo apoyo de su escuela y parroquia.

NCA Students Make Star Quilts as Symbol of Gratitude During NCA’s Thanksgiving mass, students unveiled the special Star Quilts they made for Primary School (PreK-4) and Middle School (5-8) Campuses. The Star Quilt comes from the Native American Lakota tribe and symbolizes their gathering into one people. All the students at NCA helped to make these quilts by giving a diamond shape of thankfulness, which second-grade teacher Gail Smith then formed into the beautiful Star Quilts. It’s a powerful reminder that when we are focused on gratitude, each of us glows with the light of Jesus. With thankful hearts our en-tire school community glows, and we are indeed a brilliant light in the world, like a star. At NCA, it is our mission to educate the whole child: intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Our program grows out of our Catholic faith, which guides everything we do at NCA. These beautiful Star Quilts are a daily reminder to focus on what re-ally matters and to live our lives with grateful hearts. As we begin this season of Advent and prepare for the birth of Jesus, may you all be inspired to fill your own hearts and actions with gratitude and love.

A SEASON OF HOPE Today we can bask in the imagery that the Mass readings offer us. In particular, Isaiah’s vision of a parched land that blooms with abundant flowers holds a message for each of us. Too often we are just like that parched land. We can allow ourselves to become absorbed in the waves of consumerism that grip so many. We look for fulfillment in the things that money can buy. Unfortunately, this leaves us like parched land, thirsting for something that money can’t buy. This holy season has much to offer to quench our thirsts. In a word, this season offers hope. We are told that those who are ransomed by God will know joy and gladness. For them, sorrow and mourning will be no more. Let us place our hope in these promises. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TIEMPO DE ESPERANZA

Hoy podemos deleitarnos con el simbolismo que las lecturas de la misa nos ofrecen. En especial, la visión de Isaías de una tierra sedienta que florece en abundancia contiene un mensaje para cada uno de nosotros. La mayoría de las veces somos como esa tierra sedienta. Dejamos que las olas del consumis-mo, que se apoderan de tantos, nos absorban. Busca-mos realizarnos en las cosas que el dinero puede comprar. Lamentablemente, esto nos deja como una tierra baldía, sedienta de algo que el dinero no puede comprar. Este tiempo sagrado tiene mucho que ofre-

cer para saciar nuestra sed. En una palabra, este tiempo ofrece esperanza. Se nos dice que los res-catados por Dios conocerán el gozo y la dicha. Para ellos, la pena y la aflicción habrán termina-do. Tengamos esperanza en estas promesas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Kilgen Organ Restoration Perhaps you may have noticed that I have not used the organ very often for Mass this fall. That is because a significant portion of it has been silent well I have been restoring part of the mechanism. This past week I finished 3 out of 6 parts which I plan to restore. These parts have hundreds of leather valves which need to be replaced. I will finish the other 3 after Christ-mas. The organ is already playing much more reliably now that these are reinstalled.
