Ascension of the Lord
Prayer for a Stronger Faith
Gracious Father,
you have provided for us,
and we stand awestruck before you.
Our Lord Jesus has ascended,
but still is with us
as we spread the news of the salvation
he brought to us.
Strengthen our faith so that we will go about the work
of proclaiming your goodness.
Let us not fear to take on our ministry
to teach and evangelize,
and be part of building up the Body of Christ.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen.

St. Bernardine of Siena Feast
Day
May 20th
Saint Bernardine of Siena, words were
very important to you. You spent most
of your life speaking the golden words
of Jesus’ mercy and his Holy Name. And
you abhorred words that were shameful.
Pray for us that we may always choose
to speak Jesus’ name with reverence
and choose words of love over words of
shame. Amen
Are you expecting a tax refund
this year?
While some may credit their tax preparer
for their good fortune, people of faith know
all their blessings come from God. Please
consider showing your gratitude to God by
donating a portion of your refund to Saint
Andrew Parish. A one-time donation can be
easily made via GiveCentral
www.givecentral.org/location/299/
event/6047 Your donation would not only
help support the many ministries of our
parish, but it could also help reduce your
2015 tax liability. It’s a win, win!

Meals for Moms
Saint Andrews is very excited to announce we are creating a
new ministry, Meals for Moms. Before we start, we need to
recruit people willing to cook (or purchase) and deliver meals
periodically to a Saint Andrew parish family that is either
celebrating a new birth or dealing with a family loss or illness.
Please email Aimee Milhizer at
familyministries@saintandrewchicago.com if you are
interested in being on the list of volunteers. This is such an
easy way for us to make sure our community of young families
feel connected and supported. One meal could make a big
difference!
Are you or someone you know having a baby, or are you or a
loved one going through a difficult time? Saint Andrew wants
to provide you with a home cooked meal as a sign of our love
and prayerful support for your family. Please email us at
familyministries@saintandrewchicago.com if you or someone
you know could benefit from this ministry.

St. Andrew Scouts help clean Chicago River
For many years now Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from St. Andrew’s Pack
3971 and Troop 973 have participated in the annual Chicago River cleanup
day sponsored by the Friends of the Chicago River. This year several
scouts along with many other adult volunteers from the community
worked the river the river bank behind the shopping malls adjacent to
Fullerton Avenue. At first glance it seemed like there was nothing to
clean, but once the boys got behind the brush and down on the bank, they
hauled out nearly a ton of debris that was then loaded onto a Sanitary
District barge. A couple rowing teams that were practicing on the river
stopped in mid-stroke to say thank you for the hard work. If you’re
interest in joining St. Andrew’s Cub Scout Pack or Boy Scout Troop,
please contact the parish office and you will be directed to one of the
scout leaders.
