neighbor helping neighbor… Our helpline 815-886-4165 ext. 304

In the Gospel today, Jesus shows us that we are to place Gospel values before any other values and to be willing to put our lives on the line for them. Taking care of God’s poor is indeed living Gospel values.

Our Mission: Briefly, The mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is that we are a group of lay men and women who join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Frederick Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul as a reflection of the whole family of God. We are nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule (of purpose, structure and organization). We witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice. This Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing it’s causes, making no distinction in those served, because in them Vincentians see the face of Christ. Do you desire to personally help the poor? Is God calling you to join the Society St. Vincent de Paul? Think, pray about it and then call our helpline to get more information at 815-886-4165 Ext. 304. It opens up a whole new world of value and friendship, helps us feel worthy of God’s love and are steps to eternal salvation. May the Holy Spirit guide your day!

ST. ANDREW THE APOSTLE

PROJECT GABRIEL

Since 2010 Project Gabriel here at St. Andrew’s has had the privilege and joy of working with pregnant mothers who are in difficult situations. Our Lord in the past has entrusted these pregnant mothers and their unborn babies to us to reveal His Love and gentle care for them by walking with them, helping them where we can but mostly just letting them know that in the midst of their difficult situation, they need not be alone – we are willing to walk this difficult but joyful road with them. I say “joyful” because the life of each and every unborn baby is a gift from God and is a joy! This is where you, the beautiful parishioners of St. Andrew’s, come into the picture. If anyone knows of a pregnant mother in need, please, especially, if she is considering abortion, give her our phone number at St. Andrew’s and someone will give her a call back. No pregnant mother ever needs to feel she is alone – God always provides a loving hand to those who reach out to Him, and we would like to be that loving hand. Thank you for your allowing yourselves to be instruments in the Lord’s Hands by lovingly communicating to any pregnant mother you may know who is in a difficult situation that we do care and would consider it a joy to do what we can to help. We will accept all pregnant mothers providing they are within a reasonable distance which we can travel to. They need not be Catholic – they can be of other denominations or of no religion at all. Whatever their faith beliefs – or no faith belief – we will accept them. They can call Barb at St. Andrew’s at 815-886-4165, ext. 308 and leave their name and phone number. Within twenty four hours they will receive a call back. Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this. We need your help as we are all in this together. The lives of these precious little ones and also the lives of these pregnant mothers are counting on our loving help! May the Child Jesus in His Loving Mother’s arms, richly bless you and your loved ones!

WE CAN STILL USE NEW CATECHISTS!!! Read an inspiring story about a current one!

Hello, my name is Paula Irvine. I have been a parishioner of St. Andrew for 23 years and a catechist for 12 of those years. I answered God’s call to become a catechist when I saw the request for volunteers in our bulletin. I saw it three weeks in a row and realized that I needed to step up. Initially, I became a catechist to be involved in the faith formation of my own two sons. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it would mean so much to me and become so rewarding. My faith deepened when I shared my time and God given talents with the families and children I met, my fellow catechists became family and my heart and habits were changing.

God chose me, an imperfect child of His, to help spread His Word. If you are unsure as to whether or not you can help, YOU CAN!! Come with a friend or start as an aide helping in the classroom. Two nights a month could be just enough to help one or more of God’s children know Him better! CAN YOU HELP OUR FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM? Contact Annmarie for details.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The song of the angels, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” resounds from our lips at every Mass. There was a widespread belief in the first religions of the world that God stirred creation into being by a word, a song, a musical note. Music and a sense of God’s presence have always been inseparable. In the liturgy, your voice is invited into this song as the priest names the reasons for our praise. “Heaven and earth are full of your glory,” and we are not passive onlookers, but participants in this glory. Catholic prayer no longer assigns this angelic hymn to a choir, but gives it to you to sing. Even if your voice is thought to be suitable only for a well insulated shower stall, you are called into this song. We are born to sing—just listen to a baby testing the full range of newly discovered vocal abilities. Soon we get shushed and hushed into quiet, and given lots of messages that our voices are unwanted, and that we need to raise our hands in order to be heard. All of that is overturned in liturgy, the place where God waits to hear us come alive in the song of all creation. In heaven, everyone’s in the choir; why not start practicing now? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

RCIA is a faith formation process for adult seekers, both unbaptized and baptized Christians and baptized Catholics, who seek to complete their initiation sacraments (Holy Communion and Confirmation). For more information, contact Barb Sanders at the Adult Faith Formation Office:

815-886-4165 X308 or adultff@andrewc.org

BAPTISM OF CHILDREN We joyfully celebrate the Baptism of children on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. The requirements are: to be registered in the parish and have an active participation in our parish community for at least 3 months. Register at the parish office for the Baptismal prep class, which is held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m., in the school hall. It is important to notify the parish office with the date that you will be attending the class.

FIRST COMMUNION AND CONFIRMATION

Please see page 9 in the bulletin for Faith Formation information regarding preparation for these important sacraments.

MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS

Diocese requirements include a formal engagement preparation period of at least six months before the date of the weddings and attendance in a marriage preparation program. St. Andrew requires either the bridge, groom, or parents of either to be registered as parishioners for at least three months before contacting us to set a date. There are a number of additional requirements. Please contact the Parish Office for additional information.

FUNERALS

Arrangements for a funeral are usually made through the Funeral Director at a funeral home of your choice.

PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK

Hospitals do not inform churches when parishioners are patients. You should ask an immediate family member to contact the Parish Office to request a visit from a priest when sickness occurs or death is imminent. Please contact Barb Sanders to arrange for Communion to be brought to the sick at home, to a hospital, or nursing home.

I would like to have my house blessed.

Please contact me to make arrangements.
