Parish News, Events & Activities
Last weekend’s celebration of Mothers Day, along with Fathers Day, recognizes the great
contributions and sacrifices that parents make when they raise a family. Over the past few
years we have seen an increase in the number of young families that have settled into the
neighborhood and have become members of our church and school. We give thanks to God
for this great gift, for they bring a very necessary and irreplaceable vitality to our community.
When we see young families it’s easy for us to think of the many joyous moments that are
a part of their lives, such as the first Christmas, first words, learning to walk, etc. Beyond
these happy moments though, we may not give much thought to the less joyous moments,
such as sleepless nights, teething, etc. Being a first time parent can be especially stressful
since everything is so new. As we all know, children do not come with a manual. So much of
what parents learn about being parents, they learn as they go along. Typically, when things
become too overwhelming for young parents other family members and friends are able to
step in and lend a hand, give the parents a night out, or offer an empathic ear.
Recently though, I realized that a good number of our young families at Saint Andrew are
recent transplants. Either because of school or work they have settled in our community and
they have no family close by to help support them in their new role as parents. When things
get difficult for them, when they feel overwhelmed, whom do they turn to for help? What is
the proper pastoral response Saint Andrew Parish can give to young families?
One response that immediately comes to mind is that of hospitality. Saint Andrew Parish
has always been known as a welcoming community. That sense of welcome is extended
to everyone, from the very young to the very old. At Mass, it is especially important that we
make parents with young children feel welcome at Saint Andrew. It should be expected that
there will be occasions when a child will cry or be disruptive during Mass. As a welcoming
parish that supports young families we should never offer criticism or a condemning glare.
To do so would only add to the stress parents are already feeling. Instead, we can offer a
compassionate gaze, a smile, and words of encouragement like, “I’ve been there” or “hang in
there!”
As a parish we all are on a journey together on the path of faith that will ultimately lead us
to heaven. This journey is not just about Sunday Mass and the Sacraments. This journey
encompasses the entirety of our lives. How then will we as a parish journey together with
new parents at Saint Andrew? To begin to answer that question I would like to initiate a
ministry for new families at Saint Andrew. I don’t know what format this ministry should take,
but I would hope that one of the goals of the ministry would be for new parents to feel that
they are not alone, that they can turn to Saint Andrew Parish for support. I welcome any
suggestions parishioners may have on what this ministry might look like. Parents can offer
much wisdom here from their lived experiences. Please email me at
sergioromo@saintandrewchicago.com with your thoughts.
