What Can We Expect from Pope
Francis in Cuba and the United
States?
By: Gerard O’Connell
America Magazine, September 17, 2015
An American Encounter: Pope Francis sets out
from Rome at 10:15 a.m. (local time) on Saturday
morning, Sept. 19, aboard an Alitalia A330 airbus,
on his 10th foreign journey. He will visit Cuba and
the United States, two countries where he is already
highly esteemed and considered as a friend, not
least because of the crucial role he played in helping
them overcome 54 years of hostility and normalize
relations...
[Visit www.papalvisit.americamedia.org to read the
full article on Pope Francis’ visit to Cuba.]
...On Sept. 22, Pope Francis will say goodbye to
President Castro and the islanders and take a three
and a half hour flight from Santiago de Cuba to the
United States, aboard the Alitalia airbus that brought
him from Rome. President Obama and church leaders
will welcome him on arrival at Andrews Airforce Base,
outside Washington, D.C., at 4 p.m. local time.
The official welcome will take place at the White
House next morning. It will mark the beginning of
what promises to be a fascinating and inspiring visit
by the first pope from the Americas. As has been
evident from the day of his election, Francis is a pope
who is committed to “the culture of encounter” and
firmly believes that dialogue is the way to resolve
problems. He is a great listener; he wants to go
beyond the words people utter and understand what
they are really feeling in the depths of their hearts.
That is why he gives so much importance to personal
meetings with world leaders, as well as with “the
nobodies” of this world.
Sources say he wants very much to engage in a
profound conversation with the American people,
with their elected representatives in Congress (30.7
percent of whom are Catholic and almost evenly split
between the two parties) and with the bishops who
lead one of the largest Catholic communities in the
world (one in every five Americans is a Catholic, and
34 percent of the Catholic population is Hispanic).
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary
of State, in a TV interview on the eve of the visit,
confirmed that one of the topics Francis is sure to
address during his visit is the situations of migrants;
that is a constant concern of this pope, who is the son
2
of immigrants, and of the Church in the United States.
Contrary to what some have written, there is no
reason to think that he is coming to slap people on
the wrists, to wag his finger at anyone or to publicly
reprimand them. He is a humble man. He does not
set himself up as judge over anyone, nor does he give
lessons from on high. That is just not his style. He
always looks for the good in people, and the points
of contact. He certainly challenges people too, but
in a most respectful way. He exudes joy and hope.
I expect this approach to be a hallmark of his visit
and especially of the keynote talks he will give in
Washington, D.C., to Congress and the U.S. bishops,
in New York to the United Nations and in Philadelphia
at the World Meeting with Families.
As is evident from his program, he is coming to the
United States to extend the hand of friendship, to
build bridges, to embrace people in different life
situations, and especially to the poor and excluded—
they are a priority for him, hence his meeting with
the homeless in Washington, D.C., his visit to a
school in Harlem and his encounter with prisoners
in Philadelphia. One can also expect other meetings
that are not on the official agenda, as we have
seen happen on other foreign trips, such as his
unscheduled visit to a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka,
or his prayer at the Israeli built wall (which they call
a security fence) in Bethlehem that separates them
from the Palestinians. This is “a pope of surprises,”
a man who feels promoted by God’s Spirit to act in
unexpected ways, that may even scandalize some. So
watch out for surprises!
During his visit, Francis wants to communicate “the
joy of the Gospel” to believers and non-believers alike
in the United States, a joy he sees reflected in the
Spanish missionary, Junipero Serra, whom he will
canonize in Washington, D.C. He wants to support
and strengthen the family and, above else, he ardently
desires to help all Americans understand that God is
first and foremost a “God of Mercy” who loves each
and every human being, is not out to condemn people
and never abandons anyone. He wants to encourage
the Church here, as he has done in other lands, to
become a more missionary church, a field hospital
that heals wounds, a church that has in its heart a
special love and place for the poor and the outcast.
His program is intense. Interest is high in the man and
what he has to say. His visit is sure to be memorable.

Strong Enough, Brave
Enough
By: Rachel Lyons
I have several spiritual
mentors in my life, and
one who continues to help
my soul be nourished, my
godfather, Tom. I think of his
warm smile, his expressive
face when telling stories,
and his genuine goodness toward those he meets.
Every year since I can remember, he has given me
a spiritual book or set of writings for my birthday,
Christmas, and really any “life-moment”. It is amazing
to look back at the rich wisdom Tom has opened up
for me. Whether it is a hefty book about remembering
women in the Scriptures or a pocket-sized collection of
Thomas Merton’s writings on contemplation, he always
One of the refrains in week three of the Just Prayer cycle
is Psalm 68: “O God, in your mercy, call us back and
convert our hearts.” The past month of our Season has
been a time for us to hear God calling us back to our
faith and values. A time to root ourselves once again
in the deep truths of human connection and mercy
for our neighbors and ourselves. We have been called
back to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching so
that our hearts are converted and reoriented towards
intentional choices of right relationship. Again and
again, I shared moments of this conversion with staff
and members at Old St. Pat’s. I saw families take an
‘action item’ from our baskets after Mass last Sunday
with excitement for doing something concrete to live
out their faith in the coming week. I heard powerful
stories about service from our panelists who volunteer
everywhere from the juvenile detention center here
in Chicago to families and children in Nicaragua. I
walked with our JustFaith group as they completed
This is conversion, this is transformation, this is living the Gospel.
We are strong enough for this. We are brave enough for this.
finds sources that stir my spirit and help me grow. This
spring, Tom gifted me a book called Just Prayer: A Book
of Hours for Peacemakers and Justice Seekers. Once
again, he has found a way to draw me into prayer in a
new and profound way.
Just Prayer is patterned on the Liturgy of the Hours and
has a rhythm of morning and evening prayer in a fourweek cycle. As I pray along with the Psalms, Scripture
passages, intercessions, and moments of silence, I
am further anchoring myself in relationship with God
and with my fellow human beings, my brothers and
sisters. This past Season for Social Justice, we heard
over and over again: We belong to God. We belong
to each other. How are we to act? The prayers from
my heart over the past month have stemmed from
this beautiful book and have truly made me joyful at
the reality of belonging to God and to each one of
you. The Season for Social Justice is not just about
changing unjust structures and systems ‘out there’ -- it
is about confronting the reality within my heart, within
your heart, and transforming our inner lives towards
peace, compassion, and courage. It is facing moments
when I participate in discrimination and racism, when
I harbor judgments, and when I stay silent in the midst
of painful cries for justice.
3
their year of reflection and learning together in a
grace-filled retreat this weekend. I witnessed members
at our Wednesday workshops who are ‘on fire’ for
justice in our communities and committed to being a
part of the solution. God continues to call us all back
to our foundation, to the one spirit that flows through
the human family. Our hearts will break as we walk in
God’s light to dismantle the inner and outer injustices
in our world. This is conversion, this is transformation,
this is living the Gospel. We are strong enough for this.
We are brave enough for this.
Thank you to everyone for a fantastic Season for Social
Justice, and I look forward to taking next steps to put
our faith into action. Hope to see you all on October
3rd for the Community Renewal Society’s Annual
Membership Assembly! Our Social Justice in Action
team will be there, and all are invited for this powerful
day of prayer, fellowship, and dialog on the platform of
issues we will advocate for over the next year. Join us!

Patrick’s Church.

Experience

Fr. Jack Wall Mission Center 711 W. Monroe
Rm. 25A
Pregnancy is a wonderful time to go deep within yourself
and really begin to feel the miracle of God’s gift stirring
inside of you. Great care and attention is paid to the
physical needs of the new baby and mom’s growing belly,
but most people don’t really pay much attention to the
spiritual enrichment that can be had while they go through
this experience.
Come spend some time with Catholic Certified Nurse
Midwife, Mary E. Bauer, CNM, Director of the UIC College
of Nursing’s AVIVA Midwifery and Women’s Health
practice, based at St. Mary of Nazareth Hospital in
Chicago. Together we will develop a plan for you and your
spouse or partner to enrich this special time in your life.
By doing so, you will be able to create greater meaning
on a deeply personal and spiritual level, and more fully
experience God’s grace during your pregnancy and birth.
As a result, you will grow in your faith, appreciate your
partner on a deeper level, and see your gift of life in a whole
new light. If you are pregnant, or thinking about becoming
pregnant, this evening is for you. Spouses and partners
welcome.

“How is Your Faith: An Unlikely Spiritual Journey
The First Friday Club of Chicago welcomes Mr. David
Gregory, former NBC journalist and anchor of ‘Meet the
Press’
Join David Gregory as he discusses his probing various
religious traditions to better understand his own faith and
answer life’s most important questions: who do we want to
be and what do we believe?
While David was covering the White House, he had the
unusual experience of being asked by President George W.
Bush, “How’s your faith?” David’s answer was just emerging.
Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, he had
a strong sense of Jewish cultural and ethnic identity, but
no real belief—until his marriage to a Protestant woman of
strong faith inspired him to explore his spirituality for himself
and his growing family.
David’s journey has taken him inside Christian megachurches and into the heart of Orthodox Judaism. He’s
gone deep into Bible study and asked tough questions
of America’s most thoughtful religious leaders, including
evangelical preacher Joel Osteen and Cardinal Timothy
Dolan, the Catholic Archbishop of New York. It has brought
him back to his childhood, where belief in God might have
helped him through his mother’s struggle with alcoholism,
and through a difficult period of public scrutiny and his
departure from NBC News, which saw his faith tested like

David approaches his faith with the curiosity and dedication
you would expect from a journalist accustomed to holding
politicians and Presidents accountable. But he also comes
as a seeker, one just discovering why spiritual journeys are
worthwhile. David Gregory’s appearance is being made
possible by the Author’s Group of the Union League Club
of Chicago. Attendees at the luncheon will be both Union
League Club and First Friday Club members. With this
arrangement, seating will be limited and preference will be

Relationships: An Exercise in Hosting Profound Differences and . . . Holy Communion
with Terry Nelson-Johnson, D. Min.
Thursday, October 8| 711 W. Monroe Street, 2nd floor | 7 – 8:30 p.m. | $10 per person
“I was in a conversation with a friend recently and she was reflecting on, anguishing over, wrestling
with, and contemplating a relationship that was deeply important to her. After an extended period
of silence she said, ‘He is SO different than I am . . . and, I suppose that’s the point!’ with equal
parts exasperation and wonder.
As soon as I heard this line I intuitively knew there was a wealth of wisdom and soul in it. I promised
myself I would explore the wisdom intentionally. Well, there is no time like the present!
Please consider joining us for an evening contemplating how our differences inform, enhance,
stretch and strain our relationships -- and how our differences can, wondrously and sacramentally,
collapse into Holy Communion.”
- Terry Nelson-Johnson

MBSR T raining
MBSR and Graduate MBSR
“Developing Present Moment Awareness and Cultivating a Mindful Presence”
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and
Graduate MBSR programs are ways to integrate the
Spiritual Practice of Mindfulness into daily life: learning
to walk the contemplative path with practical feet.
Mindfulness is a quality of awareness that develops with
regular practice; as we pay attention on purpose in the
present moment, non-judgmentally, to life as it really is.
The MBSR Program supports overall health
enhancement, emotional resilience, and increase calm for
people from all walks of life. In this eight week program,
you will learn “Present Moment Awareness” which may
sustain concentration, and create clarity.
The MBSR Graduate Program deepens Mindfulness
practice in a unique way: while speaking with other people.
In this eight week program, you will learn how to cultivate
a “Mindful Presence” which may support deep listening,

September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide
campaign developed by Feeding America and
cosponsored by food banks all over our country to
raise awareness about the critical reality of hunger
among our people. In Cook County one in six people
are unsure of when they will receive their next meal;
for children it is one in five. It is getting harder and
harder for families to make ends meet.
Hunger Never Takes a Holiday.
You are invited to join the Old St. Pat’s community
in helping to ‘stamp out hunger’ by joining the
contingency for our Autumn Evening of Service.
Experienced as well as “first-time” volunteers are

Beth Katsaros Winter Clothing Drive
Sunday, September 27, 2015
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | FXW School Cafeteria
Beth Katsaros
During these early days of fall, it is hard to imagine the snowy, cold, winter months ahead. As you begin to clean out your
closets and organize for the upcoming season, we ask you to take a good look to see if you might have any warm clothing
items in good condition to share. Our Winter Clothing Drive is held in early fall so that the recipient organizations can
distribute the much-needed items before the first cold snap. All types of winter clothing for boys, girls, men and women
will be accepted.
Most needed items:
• Coats and jackets
• Layers
• (fleece,hoodies, underlayers)
• Warm hats
•
•
•
•
Gloves and mittens
Winter scarves
Snow boots
Warm sweaters
Drop off will be in front of the FXW School on Sunday, September 27th ONLY. Please walk or drive around to the back of
the school, turning right off of Adams St., by the rectory (the gate will be open), creating a one-way traffic flow. Volunteers
will happily accept your bags or boxes. Tax receipts will be available.
This clothing drive is named in memory of Beth Katsaros, a champion of the less fortunate. Beth was one of the original
Family Advisory Board members, responsible for creating faith opportunities for the families of Old St. Patrick’s Church.
Throughout her life, Beth was committed to non-profit work, education and public housing. Upon learning of the
assassination of a child from Cabrini-Green, who was on his way to Sojourner Truth School, Beth made it a point of going
to see the principal of that school. It became Beth’s mission to help out the school, including raising money for their Drum
Corps’ much needed uniforms and instruments. Appealing to the Old St. Patrick’s community, Beth was able to raise the
needed money and eventually bring the students here to gift us with their music during Mass. Soon afterward, Beth and
Dee Leonard began collecting coats and winter clothing for the Sojourner Truth School families. She departed this life on
January 20, 2001. Her family, including her young granddaughter, now help sort clothes during our drive.
Beth’s passion, service, and activism live on in so many different ways. Even though the Sojourner Truth School is now
closed, the need for winter clothing is great and extends throughout Chicago. The clothing items we collect will go to
people served by:
Su Casa
Midwest Workers Association
Interfaith House
Franciscan House of Mary and Joseph Shelter
We need adult volunteers to help with directing traffic, teens and adults to unload and load cars, as well as children with
parents to help sort clothes. We also need drivers to deliver the bags and boxes to the organizations. Volunteers are
needed from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. We ask you to please sign up to volunteer by going to:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0548a4ae2ba13-spokesservic
Sorting will occur in the school cafeteria. Light refreshments will be served.
Would you like to receive a friendly reminder to bring your donations? Sign up for one by going to the SignUp Genius
website http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0548a4ae2ba13-spokesservic and sign up for Clothing Drive: Donations.
