Just a Thought...
Just two thoughts to share:
• Please come down to the
Church Hall on Sunday, August
11, between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30
p.m. to see some of the works of
the artist, Franklin McMahon.
Though I do not know much about
Fr. Tom Hurley
McMahon himself, his works
captured many significant events
in modern history, including the Second Vatican
Council and the Civil Rights Movement. A curator
of his art, Kathleen Van Ella, will be present to
offer some comments and answer any questions.
One of our great members, Lorraine Kulpa,
came across an exhibit of Franklin McMahon
at the Catholic Theological Union in Hyde Park.
After bringing me there to see some of his works,
Lorraine generously purchased two prints that we
will hang in the Library of the Fr. Jack Wall Mission
Center on our campus.
• I was reminded this past week of a significant
milestone being celebrated by one of the very
robust expressions of our mission: ENCORE!
This coming year marks the 10th anniversary
of the launching of Encore at Old St. Patrick’s
Church. Mindful of the wide variety of “targeted
audiences” among our membership, especially
around those of particular ages, Encore was
formed as a way of celebrating and benefitting
from the “seasoned adults,” those in their 50’s
and above, who bless the life of this church in so
many wonderful ways. Led by the spirited and
outrageous Mary Kay Slowikowski, the present
chair, Encore provides not only a wide variety of
social, spiritual, and service opportunities, but
these wonderful members of Old St. Pat’s have
been the driving force behind so many of our
new initiatives, including the Off Site-Insight, the
Kinship Initiative, and the morning of reflection
Café’s….to name just a few. Their energy and
enthusiasm for Old St. Pat’s is tremendous and
I have marveled at the leadership role Encore
has played in successfully integrating both their
wisdom and experience into the lives of our teens
and young adults.
The community of Old St. Patrick’s is deeply indebted
to the members who call themselves Encore for their
generosity of heart and for truly being a sign of God’s
presence among us. When I think of Encore, I cannot
help but reminded of the great scripture characters of
Abraham & Sarah and Simeon & Anna, who symbolize
the grace and beauty of maturity and wisdom. Where
would we be without some of the great mentors and
teachers of our lives who gave us an example of their
faith, service, commitment, prayerfulness, and witness
of life? Thanks be to God for those like the members
of Encore who ‘show us the way’ and whose abilities
and life experiences have been the gift they have given
to the formation of this church and its mission.
Like at any concert, we express our gratitude with
applause and a rousing “Encore!!” because we
would like some more wonderful music, on behalf of
the people of Old St. Pat’s, we wholeheartedly express
Bravo, Congratulations, Thank You to ENCORE for the
extraordinary gift they are to us!
A blessed Sunday and hopeful week ahead for all
of us.
Encore members celebrate their 10th anniversary!

Feast of the Transfiguration
On Tuesday, August 6, we celebrated the Feast
of the Transfiguration, when, according to Luke’s
Gospel, Jesus changes in appearance before
his disciples’ eyes. His face glows, his clothing
becomes “dazzling white,” and even Moses and
Elijah join him in glory. We may be surprised to learn
is that the Transfiguration falls on the anniversary
of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima What follows is
an excerpt from a brilliant and challenging article
by Paulette Zimmerman, originally published in
National Catholic Reporter on February 26, 1993.
Her reflection still resonates with our global reality,
and our individual lives, today.
“Seeking Transfiguration amid Disfiguration”
By Paulette Zimmerman
What always strikes me is the tragic irony of August 6
[the Feast of the Transfiguration] becoming, in 1945,
a day of disfiguration at Hiroshima. My image of the
transfiguration is the light radiating from Jesus, infusing
the apostles, at least to some degree, with new life. What
a distortion that light be used to burn rather than warm,
to blind rather than illuminate.
And what a different reassurance from the gentle Jesus:
“Do not be afraid.” The clear message in 1945 was to
be afraid… The light of the transfiguration was a new
revelation of Jesus of Nazareth; the light in Hiroshima
revealed a new power of destruction unleashed on the
world. But it may be fitting that we are reminded on the
anniversary of this particular “day of infamy” that in the
midst of the destruction wrought by humanity there is
Jesus, still present and still suffering in innocent victims
but still radiant with the transforming power of God…
Jesus had prophesied his own death and given the
condition of following him: to renounce self and take up
the cross daily. Sobering words to any who listened; grim
thoughts for we who live in a pleasure-oriented society
that tells us we deserve the best, that pain is unthinkable
and unnecessary, that relief is a pill or a shot away.
Peter scolded Jesus for not thinking positively: “Heaven
preserve you, Lord…this must not happen to you.” Like
him, we deny, or at least shy away from, the disciplines
[of discipleship].
Peter, James and John also were frightened by the
possibility of too much joy. For the transfiguration was
an affirmation of Jesus, a hint of the unimaginable, a
3
foreshadowing of the boundless life of the risen Lord.
They, of course, resisted the experience. Afraid of the
intensity, of the unknown, of life and power so beyond
their own, they backed away. On the brink of an encounter
that offered them a new vision of reality, they hid their
faces. Fearful of that quality of presence afforded only
by silence, Peter sought distance, safety and control, in
hearing himself talk, interjecting his familiar, solid self.
On our own mountains of experience, we are no different.
The unknown frightens us, the unfamiliar discomforts us,
even though they offer new life. Encountering great love
or deep emotion, we fear lack of control and loss of self,
so we use speech to dispel the experience and regain
solid footing. We are afraid of seeing in a new way
someone we have neatly classified, afraid of having our
minds changed, our hearts moved, our soul turned inside
out. Comfortable with our everyday, slightly despised
mediocrity, we shy away from revelations of the intimate
closeness of the transcendent God.
Even Jesus, completely open to God’s power at work in
him, may have been surprised at the exuberance of the
Holy Spirit who could no longer be hidden in his humanity,
who had to break forth…
This gospel reminds us of the transfigurations in our
own lives. These are moments, always pure gifted, never
earned and never manufactured, when we are aware of
God’s presence and power, that time after a death when
we know with certainty that the one we love is alive, still
near us and loving us; the time of prayer – given once
or often in a lifetime – when God takes over our bodies
and minds and souls and we know with the knowledge
of experience that “it is an awful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God”; the times of intimacy so intense
that boundaries between two people melt and self-gift
becomes self-expansion.
There are moments, too, when the world is transfigured,
when it leaps rather than inches toward the omega
point, and we are reminded that the Holy Spirit works
powerfully in history-changing events… Like the disciples,
we cannot live on the mountain but must be ready to
follow Jesus there when he invites us, for our hearts are
expanded and prepared for resurrection through small
transfigurations along the way.

100 Jobs Challenge Roundup
The “100 Jobs Challenge” commenced at Old St. Pat’s this
past May on Pentecost Sunday and it will culminate on
Sunday, September 2 of the Labor Day Weekend. This
“Challenge” is our congregation’s active show of support
for the vital missions of the North Lawndale Employment
Network (NLEN) and The Cara Program. These two
organizations focus on finding desperately needed
sustainable employment for job seekers who have difficulty
finding jobs. Let us reflect on what has happened thus far
with the “Challenge,” and also look to the road ahead.
Enthusiasm has been high from the start. Buzz about the
“Challenge” spread from announcements at church, info
in The Crossroads bulletin, word of mouth and the “100
Jobs Challenge” PSA video. You can still view the 54-second
video on the Old St. Pat’s website, or by going to You Tube
and typing in “100 Jobs Challenge.”
Thus far, 10 job seekers have secured positions; discussions
and interviews are underway for another six people. This is
far less progress than was anticipated, but we can still meet
our goal with your active support and prayers between now
and Labor Day. Consider being an advocate for this cause.
Just imagine — if each of us were to spread the word with
colleagues at work, family members, friends and neighbors
to find positions for those who desperately need work.
We also can make donations to help job seekers pay for
transportation, work clothing and food until they land jobs.
This is a movement of kinship and justice that can bring
light to the futures of individuals and families and alter the
social and economic landscape of North Lawndale.
Joquan Smith
Consider the case of one individual named
Joquan Smith. He is a young man who
was hired by O’Brien’s Restaurant and Bar
in Old Town in July. Jim Thompson, an Old
St. Pat’s member and the General Manager
of the restaurant, responded to the “100
Jobs Challenge.” Jim said, “I needed to see
what I could do personally to contribute.
Recently, Jim told the story this way:
“We interviewed Joquan after he was referred to us by
Regina Henderson, the Business Services Manager at
NLEN. Boy, what an impressive young man! He was on
time, polite, well spoken and prepared. He gave thoughtful
answers to my questions in an overall very good interview. I
could tell that some of his preparation was due to coaching
he received at NLEN.
4
Ever since we hired him, Joquan has shown tremendous
ambition and dedication to his job as the setup person
of our outdoor dining area and cleaner for the whole
restaurant. He served at our Taste of Chicago booth
in high heat conditions after a last minute call-in, but
regardless, he worked like a trooper showing friendliness
with customers and co-workers all along as we served
ears of Celtic corn, hamburgers, O’Brien’s Classic Reuben
sandwiches and sweet potato fries. He has been on time for
his shifts, always eager to learn and very independent with
his thinking. He always seeks management’s approval on
things. Based on this experience, I highly recommend the
“100 Jobs Challenge” and the services of NLEN. I am glad
to help people get jobs, advance themselves economically
and improve the quality of their lives. In fact, we just hired
a second worker who will start this week, and Joquan is
learning new roles as we step up his role here.”
Joquan weighed in this week as well with the following
comments:
“I was really excited when Ms. Henderson at NLEN told
me I had an interview. After applying constantly for three
years and never, ever getting a call back, this was like magic
and I felt so blessed — finally! When I sat down with Mr.
Thompson I was nervous at first because this was my first
ever chance to land a job. However, he made it really easy.
He was very nice to me and he made me feel special. I was
really grateful and I told him how much I appreciated him
for giving me the chance nobody else had given. Please tell
the people at your church that you never know what good
someone is capable of doing if you just give them a chance.
If Mr. Thompson hadn’t given one to me, I’d still be out there
searching and frustrated. I thank him every day”
Old St. Pat’s — we need you! Please visit the Old St.
Pat’s Website at oldstpats.org/100-jobs-challenge/ to learn
about and contribute to the “100 Jobs Challenge.” Let us
work together to bring deeper meaning to our worship
during this Labor Day Weekend. Remember, finding a job
today depends greatly on WHO we know.

Let’s get active!
Old St. Pat’s is delighted to host an exhibit featuring the select
works of celebrated artist/reporter Franklin McMahon. Mr.
McMahon worked world-wide recording religious, cultural,
and political events. Press pass in hand, he had an uncanny
knack to get into extraordinary places, and deftly record
the proceedings, always capturing the poignancy, irony,
or humor of the moment. Amazingly, all of his works were
created “live and on-site.”
Curator for Franklin McMahon, Ms. Kathleen Van Ella of
Portraits/Chicago Inc., will be on hand throughout the
morning to provide detailed information about the pieces
featured in the exhibit. Though we will be showing only a
small sampling of his work; the entire collection of reportorial
drawings on religious themes, papal journeys, Chicago
churches, world religions meetings, and civil rights totals
573 pieces.
Highlights of our exhibit are two special pieces that have been
donated to Old St. Patrick’s by Old St. Pat’s member, Lorraine
Kulpa. The two subjects of these remarkable pieces are the
procession at the opening of the Second Vatican Council and
a meeting in the church basement of a Baptist church the
night before the civil rights march in Selma, Alabama. There
will also be an opportunity to view a fascinating documentary
film narrated by Franklin McMahon entitled, The World of
Vatican II: An Artist’s Report featuring both his drawings and
his impressions of the great council.
Please feel welcome to come by before or after Mass!
If you would like to see more of Franklin McMahon’s works,
there is another, and larger exhibit planned for August 10 at
Marytown in Libertyville, Illinois.

The 113th Congress of the United States is considering changes in immigration law. The Senate passed an immigration
bill in June and now we need our house representatives to support compassionate immigration reform that preserves
family unity as it’s corner-stone. Now is the time to revise an immigration system that separates spouses from each other
and their children and devastates thousands of families through deportations.
How do we let others know we support family-based immigration reform? ACTION: Please ask your

August 17
St. Joan of
the Cross
(1666-1736)
An
encounter
with a shabby
old
woman
many dismissed
as
insane
prompted
St.
Joan to dedicate
her life to the
poor. For Joan, who had a reputation as
a businesswoman intent on monetary
success, this was a significant conversion.
Joan was born in 1666 in Anjou, France.
She worked in the family business—a
small shop near a religious shrine—from
an early age. After her parents’ death she
took over the shop herself. She quickly
became known for her greediness and
insensitivity to the beggars who often
came seeking help.
That was until she was touched by the
strange woman who claimed she was on
intimate terms with the deity. While Joan
had always been devout, even scrupulous,
she became a new person. She began
caring for needy children. Then the poor,
elderly and sick came to her. Over time
she closed the family business so she
could devote herself fully to good works
and penance.
She went on to found what came to be
known as the Congregation of St. Anne
of Providence. It was then she took the
religious name of Joan of the Cross. By
the time of her death in 1736 she had
founded 12 religious houses, hospices
and schools. Pope John Paul II canonized
her in 1982.
