SAINT ANDREW PALOOZA
You couldn’t have asked for a better day. The sun was shinning after a couple of days of heavy rains. There was a
cool fall breeze that helped keep the temperature comfortable. There was a cautious excitement amongst the Chicago
Cubs fans on their way to Wrigley Field. And at Saint Andrew Parish, there was an air of joy.
Normally our parking lot is the site of the perfunctory task of parking our cars. Occasionally, conversations that started
elsewhere on the campus are continued there. Rarely though is it ever a place where celebrations happen. But, last
Sunday that is exactly what occurred. As I mentioned in the prayer that started off the day, we celebrated everything
Saint Andrew is, everything Saint Andrew does, and everything that Saint Andrew has yet to do.
We have much reason to celebrate everything Saint Andrew is as and does as a parish. For 121 years our parish has
been proclaiming the gospel and calling people to deeper faith in the Lord. For 113 years our school has educated our
children and helped them to know and love God. For 102 years the towers of our present church building have been a
beacon in the neighborhood, calling the faithful to worship and the celebration of the sacraments.
While we have accomplished much, there is still much more yet to be done. Representatives from various parish
ministries and local organizations were on hand to provide information and recruit participants for some of the work
that is yet to be done. The continued success of Saint Andrew is contingent on the participation and support of many
people. No church or school can ever accomplish its mission with one individual or even a handful of people. Just
like in 1913 it took many people to build our beautiful church building, so will it take many people today to build our
church. But this church that we are presently building is not a building, but rather the Body of Christ. And in actuality,
it is not us who is doing the building, but God. The first letter of Peter reminds us of this wonderful paradox, “Come to
him, a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and, like living stones, let
yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:4-5
We can never forget that our community of faith is a spiritual house that Christ himself is building with our very lives.
He takes the time, talent and treasure that we offer and builds us into a spiritual house that surpasses the beauty and
majesty of any building built by human hands. When we think of Saint Andrew and everything we do in this way, we
are eager to do more and give more. And as Christ transforms us into a church built with living stones, others will want
in on this.
So, I would like to thank the co-chairs of Saint Andrew Palooza, Aimee Milhizer and Jane Altman, as well as the Parish
Transformation Team, the Welcome Committee, the volunteers, and everyone who came. It was a great start to an
annual tradition. But more than that, it was a wonderful expression of who and what we are!

Your weekly contribution to Saint Andrew is vital to keeping our ministries funded and our Parish in good
financial standing. Please consider setting up your gift using our electronic vendor, GiveCentral.org to
ensure that even when you are away the Parish, your financial support is not. Please contact the Parish
Office with any questions.
Several people have told Fr. Matthias that they weren’t prepared for the second
collection last weekend and still want to contribute.
You can still contribute to Uganda by either dropping a donation off at the
rectory, making a dedicated online contribution or marking an envelope and putting
it in the general collection on Sunday

“Sharing” across worlds – connecting hearts
This week Fr. Matthias had the opportunity to visit and share stories and questions with students
from St. Andrew. They compared notes on how life differs for students in his home village in
Lwamata and our home here in Chicago.
Students discovered things they had in common: school uniforms, soccer and biking. They also
heard about very different challenges including food, clean water and electricity.
Principal Ackermann reminded all that our support of Fr. Matthias and the Ugandan ministries is
not a once-a-year visit opportunity, but something students can commit to and act on year round.
Praying the “Our Father,” the visits concluded with our shared faith and a celebration of our
continued love and support.
