He Made Us Laugh, He Made Us Cry, He Was Better Than Cats!
Vinnie and Saint Andrew Parishstaff enjoying Margie’s Candies’ “World Largest Terrapin.”
I regret to inform you that Vincent “Vinnie” Lacey has left Saint Andrew Parish. He has decided to relocate
to L.A. to perhaps pursue an acting career. While we are all sad to see him go, and we will all miss his
crazy antics, we know he is a talented individual and we wish him well. He has promised to give Saint
Andrew a shout out when he makes his Oscars, or Emmy acceptance speech. Vinnie can still be reached
at vincentlacey@saintandrewchicago.com. Please be sure to wish him well and thank him for his many
years of service.
In January of 2009 Vinnie joined the pastoral staff of Saint Andrew as the parish’s Coordinator of Young Adult
Ministry. Although this was the official start date, Vinnie had been active in the young adult ministry at Saint
Andrew for quite some time before that. Recognizing a natural leader amongst the group of young adults, Fr.
Farry hired Vinnie in the official capacity as Coordinator of Young Adult Ministry.
Under his direction, Vinnie kept in touch with some 300 young adults in our parish and surrounding area. He
organized volleyball leagues, service projects, days of reflection, barbeques, and Theology on Tap. I was
especially appreciative of his work in organizing Theology on Tap. A couple of years ago, due to cutbacks in
the archdiocesan pastoral center, there was no archdiocesan wide Theology on Tap. But, Saint Andrew was
one of the few parishes that continued to have a Theology on Tap without the customary support from the
archdiocese. That was due to Vinnie’s leadership.
Given the many young people that live in our community, young adult ministry is an important element of
Saint Andrew’s mission. And that will continue to be the case. We are however taking Vinnie’s departure as
an opportunity to review how we can best minister to young adults.
For a few years now Vinnie had collaborated with Ravenswood Catholic Young Adults (RCYA), a ministry
supported by five local parishes on various projects. Saint Andrew has begun to talk with RCYA, local
pastors, and some young adult leaders about how we can continue working together. The goal of this
conversation is to develop a comprehensive young adult ministry, that serves the needs of our young adults
in the area. Please pray for our young adults and all those involved in this important discussion. As the
conversation develops, I will keep you informed.
Fr. Sergio

As you all know Fr. Matthias has been with us and helping us celebrate
Masses giving talks at the school and answering the students
questions.
It truly has been a wonderful experience to have him with us and
sharing with us about his life in Uganda and the wonderful children of
his school.
Next weekend, Fr. Matthias will speak at all the Masses and there will
be a second collection to help Fr. Matthias’ Parish,
St. Charles Lwanga.

Hospitality Lwamata style
By Kim Arndt
Nothing can prepare you for receiving generosity from people, who have so much less than you. The
overwhelming feeling is tenfold when you realize you’re the benefactor of such precious gifts.
The priests and rectory staff of St. Charles Lwanga opened their home to us and went to every effort to
make sure we felt comfortable and nurtured. It didn’t take but a day for the housekeeper to notice that all
I needed at 5 a.m. with the sunrise was a little boiled water and Nescafe – and then like clockwork it was
waiting for me. When Will commented on an entrée he enjoyed, you could be certain we’d see it at the
next meal.
These thoughtful considerations were wonderful and yet they paled in comparison to the sincere love and
warmth extended to us each day.
How is it possible to feel you have family so far from home? I’m not sure, but we did. The bond and
connection we formed in such a short time is difficult to imagine. Perhaps the magic is possible, because
you’re vulnerable entering such an unfamiliar place and then you’re met with such unconditional warmth
and hospitality – you can’t help but fall in love.
This month it has been our turn to bestow our brand of hospitality on Fr. Matthias as he is visiting
Chicago. Numerous families have invited him over to share a meal, others have taken him to enjoy local
sites and the teachers of St. Andrew School have opened their classrooms – inviting him to speak and
answer students’ questions.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to share time with Fr. Matthias, mark your calendar for a Mass during the
weekend of Oct. 4 when he will speak at each service and we will conduct a special collection to support
our sister parish.

Meet Moses
By: Kim Arndt
Shaka Moses is a sweet and articulate sixyear old. His big brown eyes make you smile
when you meet him and convey his gentle and
playful personality.
Moses would like to enter the P1 class at King
David Primary School near Mityana. He has
a sister named Winnifred or “Winnie,” who is
also looking for a sponsor. Moses’ mother
has died from AIDS and his father is having
trouble finding a job that pays enough beyond
housing and food, to support his children’s
education.
Consider helping Moses or one of the many
other students needing sponsors. The cost
is $400 annually. For more information,
visit www.oneheartuganda.com or contact
parishioner, Kim Arndt (kim@klcreates.com)
