This Week Letter – November 11, 2018
From the Pastor’s Desk Today’s Gospel gives evidence that of prime importance for Christ is what is hidden in a person’s heart. As an example today, we are given the poor widow whose temple offering was viewed by others to be not much, but according to Christ outweighed the other contributions because she gave all.. read more →

From the Pastor’ Desk During the past week we celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints. This feast reminds us that our primary vocation is to attain sainthood. But how can we do this? The answer to this question can be found in today’s Gospel in the commandment of the love of God and neighbor. Saints.. read more →

From the Pastor’s Desk We do not know how long Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, sat by the wayside asking for alms. In a certain sense, he had sat there all his life waiting for that one Passerby, for only his meeting with Jesus changed his fate. Only He who restored his eyesight and showered him.. read more →

From The Pastor ‘s Desk Amazing impudence was shown by the two sons of Zebedee, those beloved disciples of Jesus, John and his brother James, when they presented their demand that, in the glory of the Master, they would sit one at His right and the other at His left hand.

From The Pastor’s Desk… While Christ tells the Apostles about the passion awaiting him, they argue about which one of them is the most important. Pride makes man a very weak, egocentric being, who seeks comfort and runs away from hardship and suffering. Jesus teaches us that the true greatness of a person consists in.. read more →

From the Pastors Desk… The Holy Church has survived many historical storms and still exists because it works under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is built on the foundation of the Apostles. The Church, to realize its mission of world evangelization, must have its own plan and structure. The Archdiocese of Chicago recently.. read more →

From the Pastor’s desk… For six years I was the Pastor of Saint Francis Borgia Parish. The Archdiocese maintains a Ministry for the Deaf and Mute there. Every Sunday at 10:30am the Holy Mass is celebrated in sign language. At the “Alleluia”, the sacristan hits a drum and everyone having felt the drum’s vibration rises.. read more →
