My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
The Holy Spirit is invisible, and, as God, is everywhere! So how do we recognize Him among us?
Through His gifts and His fruits! Earlier this month, we celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation for our young people.
Again, they wrote letters to express their desire and excitement to receive this amazing gift of the Holy Spirit. Space
does not allow me to share the many beautiful testimonies that our young people gave. Below are just a few excerpts
that indicate how alive the Holy Spirit is among our young people! Mary, we believe, was about 14 years old when she
said yes to the Good News of the Angel Gabriel, so that the Holy Spirit overshadowed her and she conceived Jesus in
her womb. The Holy Spirit, invisible yet everywhere present to us, or omnipresent, became visible in the fruit of Mary’s
womb, Jesus. You will see below how the Holy Spirit brings forth visible fruit in the lives of our young people. May
we all continue to be the visible expressions of our invisible and yet ever-and-always-present God, who loves us and
strengthens us by the Gift of His Holy Spirit!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Gregor
“I am wholeheartedly looking forward to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation because I believe that in doing so I
will become stronger and more deeply devoted to the teachings of Christ…. As I receive the graces and gifts of the Holy
Spirit, I intend to share them with others by the following: respecting and being obedient to my parents, setting a good
Christian example to my sibling by devotion to attending Mass, generosity to others and gratefulness to God’s blessings,
and lastly, share as much time, talent and treasure as I can to help my neighbors. The service project that I liked the
most was the 2014 Harvest Saturday. It was a very rewarding experience because I observed and felt how wonderful it
is when all of us come together for the service of each other. Even though it was a lot of work, the fruits of such labor
was very enormous that when I went home, I was so proud in telling my family what we have accomplished…”
— Sincerely yours, ‘Cecilia’
“What Confirmation means to me is that I am in a lasting relationship with Christ, and I am bound to serve and pray to
him whenever possible. I admit, sometimes I treat these services as a hassle. Actually, they are a way to strengthen my
relationship with Jesus, and help others trying to do the same…. After I am confirmed, I plan to continue building this
relationship. I want to share these gifts and graces with other people. Whether it’s family, friends, or complete strangers, I feel it is important to spread the gifts and graces that I wish to receive to others. By far, my favorite project for
preparation was praying the Rosary at Senior Star. Seeing the elders faces light up knowing someone my age has faith
makes me feel good, and I like how I get to hear their stories every time I go there. I also took away a lesson, which was
no matter how old you are, you never lose your faith. Some people have walkers and assistants, and they still made the
walk from around the building to pray…. So basically, I want to be confirmed because I want to have a good relationship with Christ and because I want to share these gifts with other people.” — Sincerely, ‘Thomas’
“...along the way to Confirmation I have learned a lot of things that have only strengthened my faith. The Confirmation
lessons have shown me that one must be close to God when things get hard and when things are going okay. On my path
to Confirmation I have answered a lot of doubts. And once I have received the Sacrament of Confirmation then that will
solidify the relationship between God and me. I will use the gifts I will receive from the Holy Spirit to make wiser
choices in my life. I will also try to listen more to my heart, because I believe that God is always trying to lead us in the
right direction, but we just don’t listen, because we don’t pay attention to the signals or are too blind to see. I plan to
meditate more in order to achieve a deeper connection with God. One of the best experiences that I have had serving
with Saint Andrew was at Harvest Saturday, because along the way I met some very nice generous families who placed
their trust in us, this helped me see that there’s good people out there who are willing to help if they can…. Also I have
gained a very deep interest in serving others. I choose St. John Paul II as my saint, because he suffered a lot through his
early life; he suffered from multiple physical accidents and the loss of almost all his family members, but his faith only
increased. During his life as a Pope he was a very strong voice against political oppression and injustice around the
world. To me he symbolizes all the good in this world.” — Sincerely yours, ‘John Paul’
“Throughout this year my Church and I have been doing tons of service projects. My favorite was praying with the elderly at the nursing home. They are so nice and sweet there, I learned so many new things about growing up and how I
should always stay close with God…. I am ready to live out my faith with the help of the gifts of the Holy Spirit….”
— Sincerely, ‘Teresa’

…neighbor helping neighbor...
Our helpline 815-886-4165 ext. 304
All calls are confidential with callbacks within 24 hours.
Today as we celebrate Pentecost, the Holy Spirit wants to make us advocates of God’s presence
to bring new life to others, especially those who do not know the love of God in their lives.
Our conference is indeed grateful for your generosity in helping us
assist our neighbors with their temporary needs.
May’s second collection was $2,211.46 and your many donations
completely filled the truck last weekend!
A SIGNIFICANT DAY
“And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a
strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which
they were” (Acts 2:2). The Holy Spirit’s arrival on that
first Pentecost was signaled by a rush of wind. We all
know what it’s like when our windows are open just as a
summer storm rises up. Curtains fly, papers become airborne, house plants shudder, dust is scattered. A rush of
wind disrupts the orderliness of our home. The coming of
the Holy Spirit, as celebrated each year at Pentecost, can
also disrupt ways that have become comfortable and orderly. The Church always needs Pentecost. We need the
breath of God’s Spirit to blow away any complacency or
malaise that has settled into our faith. Jesus breathes on
his disciples and they receive the Holy Spirit. With that
reception comes the power to share the Good News of
salvation. Today, this is no less true for us.

OUR LADY OF
THE ROSARY
PRAY FOR US
May is the month of our beautiful Mother and what better way
to honor Our Lady than to pray
your rosary daily. This is a
powerful prayer that is much
needed in today’s world. Many
miracles have happened when
the Rosary has been prayed
faithfully. So please, pick up your Rosary beads, dust
them off, and start praying this most powerful prayer.
If you have children, have them pray with you. They
are never too young to learn to pray the Rosary.
If you would like to join in a group, the Rosary is prayed
every Saturday before the 4:00 p.m. Mass at St. Andrew’s
and every Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Francis
Room at St. Andrew’s which is located in the vestibule
of Church.
Also, EWTN Cable TV offers the Rosary said with the
Poor Clare Nuns at 8:30 p.m. and Relevant Radio (Station
930 AM) also has the recitation of the Rosary at 8:00 p.m.
Remember, Mary is our mother, given to us by Jesus on
Calvary, and she truly is a mother to us who loves us and
intercedes to her Son, Jesus, on our behalf. Come to
know her, especially through the Rosary, and your life
and the lives of your loved ones will be richly blessed!

Hospital Visitation of Parishioners
Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a
hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it
doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or
Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners
printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St.
Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You
can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be
with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as
He honors and serves us!
I would like to have my house blessed.
Please contact me to make arrangements.
