A Message from Our Pastor

Dear Parishioners,

How many of you enjoy fishing or ever attempted to fish as a hobby or for relaxation?   First of all, you need to be a patient person.   If you are overanxious or nervous, you will end up being frustrated.   Just because you fish doesn't mean you'll be successful or have a delectable sea food meal at the end of the day.

Simon and Andrew, James and John were fishermen.   Jesus saw them and said to them: "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. They abandoned their nets and followed him."   Did they know what they were in for?   Were they anxious or nervous?   Would they have an opportunity to enhance their pocket money?  

Jesus didn't offer them much instruction but showed them by word and example the fishing he had in mind for them.   As fishermen they were probably prone to separating the fish – small from large, good from bad.   But in Jesus' fishing expedition, all would be kept!   Would they always have success?   Probably not.   Would they become rich and popular?   Most likely not.

Is RCIA for YOU?

If you sense a stronger relationship with God is needed in your life; and you have not been Baptized, or you have been Baptized in another faith tradition or have not completed your Catholic initiation with Confirmation and Eucharist, then you should inquire into the RCIA process.   Contact Fr. Gene: 847-223-4731 or
eugenenowak@hotmail.com

If you have a school-age child not baptized or baptized in another faith tradition or a child in third grade who has not yet received their First Communion, contact Sr. Donna at the Religious Education Office (847-223-3071). She will explain to you the "Rejoice In God" program for you and your child.   Welcome!
