SHARINGS FROM THE PASTOR
The annual collection to support the archdiocesan
seminaries actually helps out more than just the major
seminary in Mundelein, Illinois and the college seminary
(Saint Joseph Seminary on the campus of Loyola
University).
It also provides support for programs that help young
men discern whether or not they may have a vocation to
the priesthood of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
While this is the obvious priority for the church of
Chicago, in point of fact, this discernment process also
includes reflections on religious life.
Just to review: there are two categories of priests. One is
of priests who are ordained to serve parishes in a certain
local church. If the local church is a major one, it is
called an archdiocese. If it is a smaller one, it is called a
diocese. These priests are usually referred to as diocesan
priests.
Sometimes the term secular priest is used, although not
too often any more. This term distinguishes the secular
or diocesan priest from a priest that belongs to a
religious order. These priests are usually already
professed members of a community before they get
ordained.
You are familiar with Franciscans, Dominicans,
Augustinians, Benedictines, Carmelites and so forth.
These religious orders have a history that goes back to a
founder who wanted to highlight a certain aspect of
religious life. For the Dominicans and Franciscans, for
example, the role of poverty was important in their living
the religious life. These religious men (priests and
brothers) live a communal life and share their
belongings. In their earliest days, these religious actually
went around begging for food. Thus they were called
mendicants.
Many of these religious communities have specialized in
certain types of apostolic ministry and a few of them end
up serving in parishes around the world. Because they
belong to their specific community they can be sent
anywhere in the world. Usually, diocesan priests work in
the diocese that they were ordained for, but even here,
many dioceses have taken on foreign missions and send
some of their priests overseas.
Since we are discussing the matter of discerning spiritual
callings, let me put in a word for the ministry of the
permanent diaconate. It comes as a surprise to some
people to learn that in the history of the church, deacons
go back further in history than do parish priests.
If this surprises you, you
should immediately sign
up for a class in early
church history. But I digress.
The Second Vatican
Council revived the diaconate as a permanent ministry of the church after it
had been relegated to one
step before priesthood in
the process of priestly
formation and education.
You should also know that there was more than a little
discussion in the council about whether or not those being ordained to the diaconate could be married or not.
The answer to this was obviously “yes” since most of our
permanent deacons are married.
What wasn’t so well known was that some discussion
was given (after the council) to the possibility of ordaining women to the diaconate. There are some references in
the early church to “deaconesses.” What is not perfectly
clear from the record is whether this title actually referred
to women ordained to the office, or whether these were
women who assisted in Baptismal and service events of
the early church, or even if this was a title given to wives
of ordained deacons. At this point in time, this issue continues to be discussed in various corners of the church. It
is a possibility for the future, but who can say for sure
when? Certainly not me!
However, the issue is to suggest to some of our married
men who are already involved in several ministries in the
parish, to consider if this might be something you would
want to explore. Please let me know if you’re even remotely interested in learning about this office and the
process you would go through to become a permanent
deacon.
If you are interested in exploring some of the implications of the encyclical of the Holy Father on the environment and its potential for ecumenical interaction, there
will be a convocation on this topic at Catholic Theological Union (5401 South Cornell, in Chicago) on Saturday,
October 3 from 9 to 5. Information and registration can
be obtained via: www.ctu.edu/acts-convocation-2015.

Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 20, 2015
The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace
for those who cultivate peace. — James 3:18
Toward the end of the second century, a churchman in North Africa, Tertullian, described an early form of
penance. Imagine if it had survived! There were three steps to this very public ritual. The unfortunate sinner
was brought before the community in an itchy garment of goat’s hair. The communities of the day were
small and intimate, and everyone knew everyone else. The shame of exposure for a big sin—murder,
idolatry, or adultery—would have been profound. The penitent would beg the community for prayers of
intercession, and then go sit in a place assigned to penitents. After this public confession, the penitent would
be assigned some discipline, usually a relatively severe fast, or the wearing of distinctive garb. This remedy
for sin was for a certain period of time, or at least until the bishop (every small community has its own
bishop) judged that enough was enough. Then the person would be readmitted to the eucharistic community,
although Tertullian doesn’t tell us how. Probably the bishop tenderly placed his hands on their heads,
precisely where they were anointed at baptism. We do know that the readmission of penitents to the
eucharistic table became in some churches a great celebration, and there are records from Spain of bishops
leading penitents in a dance‑like processional into the eucharistic hall on Holy Thursday.

Christ Is
A $350 million campaign for strong parishes, Catholic education and faith formation in the
Archdiocese of Chicago
How Will Our Parish Benefit?
As part of the total $350 million goal, To Teach Who Christ Is will raise a minimum of $150 million to
support local needs in every parish across Chicago.
Our goal at Sacred Heart is $1,125,000. We will receive 60% of the funds
raised. We will also receive 100% of any funds raised if we exceed our goal.
This means Sacred Heart will receive a minimum of $675,000 for our local
needs when we reach our goal!
Our share of the funds will be directed to improving:
Church Facilities
Handicap accessibility, lighting & sound system updates, reconstruction of the parking lot, new electronic sign on 111th street,
creation of a meditation prayer garden, landscaping around parish
campus, rug shampoo machine for all facilities
Moscow Center Facilities
Handicap accessibility, completion of roof work & lighting system updates
Creation and Establishment of Parish & Ministry Endowments
Campaign Update
We have raised more than $223,300 thanks to the early commitments from a few families!
Thank you for your enthusiasm, generosity, and prayers! Our To Teach Who Christ Is Team continues to
invite more and more families to participate each week. Please accept their invitation and prayerfully
consider how you might help.
Your gift will ensure a vibrant future for our parish, and Catholic education across Chicago.

CATECHETICAL SUNDAY
In 1935, the Vatican published a document that asks every country to acknowledge the importance of the Church’s
teaching ministry and to honor those who serve the Christian community as catechists.
This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 20, 2015, and will focus on the theme
“Safeguarding the Dignity of Every Human Person.” Those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists
will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on
the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel.
Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
What does the word “catechetical” mean? The word might be more familiar than you think. Most Catholics have
used the word “catechism” to describe the teachings of the Church. The root word, “catechesis,” is from a Greek word
which means “to echo or resound.” Catechesis is the act of echoing or resounding the Church’s teachings to the world.
By definition, this expands the ministry of catechesis to each and every one of us, not just the “formal” catechists that
we recognize today, but also, and especially, parents, grandparents, godparents, neighbors, and those of us who
participate in the Mass each weekend. Our witness to the teachings of Jesus and Christianity are as valuable as
catechesis in the classroom.
So today, as we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Vatican’s mandate to celebrate the catechetical ministry, we
ask the Lord’s blessing upon all of us, but most especially upon those who have acknowledged and accepted their
Baptismal privilege to catechize and proclaim the Word of God through the ministry of catechesis.

Besides time spent in the classroom as Proclaimers of the Word, these ministers devote countless hours in
formation to keep their own faith alive and active. Many of them have received training to become certified catechists
with the Archdiocese of Chicago. All of them have received abuse training to better care for the children and youth of
our parish. All of them have completed a criminal background check to ensure greater safety for all.
We ask you to include these many volunteers in your prayers. We ask you also to pray for the families of these
ministers. By sharing their loved ones, and their time and talent, Sacred Heart is able to function in its catechetical
mission.

Listen! The wind is rising,

We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!
— Humbert Wolfe
The Sacred Heart Welcome Committee wants to say
“You’re Welcome!” to come and join us.
Our next parish Hospitality Weekend will be September 26th & 27th after all the Masses. Plan
to reserve a few minutes and join your fellow parishioners and visitors for some quality time and treats.
The spirit of Sacred Heart Parish is one that emanates from every person who enters here – long-standing members,
new families and visitors. Our Welcoming Ministry consists of individuals who wish to be actively involved in helping
to animate and support this spirit. As a committee, we gather to discuss ways to help Sacred Heart be an increasingly
welcoming and united parish. As volunteers, we offer our services on weekends and at other opportunities to host gatherings for refreshment and fellowship.
We are looking for friendly people to join in this ministry of building the Sacred Heart Family. We encourage FAMILIES, INDIVIDUALS or GROUPS to join in boosting our already great parish spirit. You can volunteer once or as
often as you prefer. We are also seeking new volunteers for our Welcome Committee which typically meets on a Monday evening every two months or so. We are open to fresh ideas for making the Sacred Heart parish community the
best it can be. The more, the merrier—WELCOME!
If you are interested or have any questions, stop by the Gathering Room next weekend and see what’s involved.
BONUS! Students looking for service hours can use this to fulfill their requirements.

LITURGICAL MINISTRY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR SERVICE
Every weekend the Sacred Heart community comes together at Mass to celebrate all that God
has done for us, especially throughout the past week. Out of this community gathering,
individuals are called to minister as Lectors, Ushers, Sacristans, Altar Servers, Music Ministers,
and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion/Eucharistic Ministers (along with the priests and deacons,
the liturgy planners, those who decorate the church, and the church cleaning and maintenance personnel).
Each weekend Mass utilizes the service of about 30 persons to prepare and facilitate the “work of the
people,” the liturgy. Today we are appealing for your help—we are in great need of more people to come
forward and assist in these ministries.
If you know of someone (or you yourself) who would make a good candidate for the ministry of
Usher, Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Altar Server (youth or adult), or Music Minister, please submit
his/her/your name and telephone number to Rita Burns at the Ministry Center, 974-3336.
Training sessions and enrichment programs are available at various times throughout the year.

are infected you could be spreading the virus to others. Only
way to know is to get tested.
September 27th ~ National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day. Data from U.S. Centers for Disease Control
show a sharp increase in the number of new infections among
