Mission Statement of the Viatorians / La Misión de los Viatorianos
Introduction of Fr. Alain-Pierre Yao
Dreams...
When my bishop told me two years ago to go to Rome to study again, I was sure that it was an opportunity to
discover other realities. As it’s always difficult for me to speak about my life, let me share my dreams, these
dreams which took me through many ways and paths.
I’m Father Alain Pierre Yao from the Ivory Coast (West Africa). Eight years ago I was ordained a priest in the
diocese of Bouaké (in the center of Ivory Coast) with eight other companions during the most horrible crisis we
have known after 51 years of independence. Just after my studies in the seminary I was sent to a parish at 60
kms from Bouaké and 2 days after the crisis began. The country was divided in two parts between the rebels and
the government and I was on the wrong side of the fire. My family was on the other side and were really anxious but, when the pastor asked me if I’d like to go home, I realized that I was called by God. That was my first
dream: be happy in all my choices.
The second is about my studies in liturgy and the third is to fly like a bird in the world, to go and meet other
people. When I was a student in San Viator college of Bouaké, I gave much interest to the language classes
(English and Spanish). Today I’m very happy to be in this community and realize that despite the difference of
culture or the difference of the color of skin, we’re all the same. With Internet we can know many things about
other peoples but it’s always important to have our own experience. So I’m here to have mine and dream with
you that our faith in Jesus Christ can help all of us to live in peace together as one. I will be here at St. Viator
for the month of August and hope to have the opportunity to meet as many of you as I possibly can. If you see
me, please come up and introduce yourself. I want to obtain as much as possible of the faith community of St.
Viator Parish as I can, so that I can return to Africa and tell the people there about the
wonderfulful people I met while in Chicago.
Introdución al Padre Alain-Pierre Yao
Sueños...
Cuando mi obispo me dijo hace dos años que fuera a Roma a estudiar nuevamente, estaba seguro que esta era
una oportunidad para descubrir otras realidades. Es difícil para mí el hablar acerca de mi propia vida, déjeme
compartir mis sueños, estos sueños que me han llevado a través de muchos caminos hasta usted.
Soy el Padre Alain Pierre YAO de Costa de Marfil (al oeste de África). Hace ocho años, fui ordenado sacerdote
en la diócesis de Bouaké (en el centro de Costa de Marfil) con otros ocho de mis compañeros, durante la más
horrible crisis que nosotros hemos conocido después de 51 años de independencia. Justo después de mis estudios en el seminario, fui enviado a una parroquia a 60 kilómetros de Bouaké, a solo dos días después de que la
crisis empezara. El país fue dividido en dos partes entre los rebeldes y el gobierno y yo estaba en la parte equivocada del fuego. Mi familia estaba al otro lado y estaban muy ansiosos pero, cuando el párroco me pregunto si
yo quería irme para mi casa, me di cuenta que había sido llamado por Dios. Este fue mi primer sueño: ser feliz
en todas mis elecciones.
El segundo es acerca de mis estudios litúrgicos y el tercero es el volar como un pájaro por el mundo, ir y conocer gente. Cuando yo era un estudiante en el colegio San Viator en Bouaké, le di mucho interés a las clases de
idiomas (inglés y español). Hoy estoy muy feliz por estar en esta comunidad y darme cuenta de a pesar de las
diferencia de cultura o las diferencias del color de piel, somos iguales. Con el Internet podemos conocer muchas
cosas acerca de otras personas, pero es siempre importante el tener nuestra propia experiencia. Entonces, estoy
aquí para tener mi sueño y con ustedes y que nuestra fe en Jesucristo pueda ayudarnos a todos a vivir en paz
juntos como uno. Estaré en la Parroquia de San Viator por el mes de agosto y espero poder tener la oportunidad
de conocer a muchos de ustedes si es posible. Si me ve, por favor acérquese y preséntese. Quiero obtener lo que
más pueda de la comunidad de fe de la parroquia de San Viator, para que pueda volver a África y decirle a la
población de allí acerca de la gente maravillosa que conocí en Chicago.

The Revised Roman Missal
The ENGLISH Roman Missal, 3rd Edition
New Words: A Deeper Meaning, but the Same Mass
The new edition of the Roman Missal will be implemented on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27th this year.
Specifically, the new response “And with your spirit,” will replace the current response “And also with you,” which we
pray several times throughout each Mass. This new response is the first change, which we will encounter, in the praying
of the revised texts of the Mass. During the Introductory Rites of the Mass, after the Sign of the Cross and the Greeting,
we humble ourselves before God through the Penitential Act. Whether at St. Viator or at other parishes and chapels, you
probably have heard the priest, deacon, or cantor lead a three-part call and response prayer: “Lord, have mercy,” “Christ,
have mercy,” and “Lord, have mercy.” These specific words will not be changing. The strophes, which precede each of
these three prayers, will change, but our praying “Lord, have mercy,” “Christ, have mercy,” and “Lord, have mercy” will
remain unchanged. For example, in the current form of the Penitential Act, the following might be prayed: “You were
sent to heal the contrite: Lord, have mercy.” “You came to call sinners: Christ, have mercy.” “You plead for us at the right
hand of the Father: Lord, have mercy.” In the new edition of the Roman Missal, the following is one example of the threepart strophes, which we might pray: “You were sent to heal the contrite of heart: Lord, have mercy.” “You came to call
sinners: Christ, have mercy.” “You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us: Lord, have mercy.” We
collectively pray a longer penitential prayer: the Confiteor. The current translation of the Confiteor is as follows:
Present Form:
I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned through my own fault
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
In the forthcoming edition of the Roman Missal,
the Confiteor will change slightly to the following:
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have
failed to do,
And, (striking their breast, they say):
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary, ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
The bolded words are those which are new to the Confiteor.
This new edition of the Confiteor attempts to provide a better translation of the Latin version of the prayer, from which
all vernacular translations come, and follows more closely an early English translation (1966) of the prayer, which was
published after the Second Vatican Council. The Confiteor and all of the prayers which we pray in most if not all Masses
will be printed and available in the pews to assist us when we pray the prayers of the new edition of the Roman Missal.

21º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
21 de Agosto de 2011
En aquel tiempo, cuando llegó Jesús a la región de Cesarea de Filipo, hizo esta pregunta a sus discípulos: "¿Quién dice la gente
que es el Hijo del hombre?" Ellos le respondieron: "Unos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista; otros, que Elías; otros, que Jeremías
o alguno de los profetas".
Luego les preguntó: "Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy yo?" Simón Pedro tomó la palabra y le dijo: "Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo
de Dios vivo".
Jesús le dijo entonces: "¡Dichoso tú, Simón, hijo de Juan, porque esto no te lo ha revelado ningún hombre, sino mi Padre, que
está en los cielos! Y yo te digo a ti que tú eres Pedro y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia. Los poderes del infierno no prevalecerán sobre ella. Yo te daré las llaves del Reino de los cielos; todo lo que ates en la tierra quedará atado en el cielo, y todo lo
que desates en la tierra quedará desatado en el cielo".
Y les ordenó a sus discípulos que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Mesías
Preparing for Next Week’s Word
Focus on the Gospel
Gospel of Matthew 16: 13-20
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 21, 2011
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They
replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my
heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that
he was the Christ.

Youth Events/Eventos de Jovenes
From the Office of Stewardship and Youth Ministry/
De la officina de administración y del grupo de jovenes
Andrew Shelton, Director
773-286-4040 ext. 131
Ministry is a word that describes a wide range of services that the Church strives to provide for, and with, its parishioners. Adults who
would like to get involved with ministry at St. Viator might get connected with the choir, a bereavement group, one of our bible studies, or simply attend Mass on Sunday. In much the same way, youth ministry is a phrase that encompasses much more than a few youth
group meetings every month. Over the next few weeks, I will provide excerpts from United States Catholic Bishops’ Renewing the
Vision that will help to explain what the major components of youth ministry should be.
The ministry of advocacy engages the Church to examine its priorities and practices to determine how well young people are integrated into the life, mission, and work of the Catholic community. It places adolescents and families first by analyzing every policy and
program—domestic, parish-based, diocesan, and intergenerational—for its impact on adolescents and families. Poor, vulnerable, and
at-risk adolescents have first claim on our common efforts. The ministry of advocacy struggles against economic and social forces that
threaten adolescents and family life, such as poverty, unemployment, lack of access to affordable health care, lack of decent housing,
and discrimination. The ministry of advocacy supports policies and programs that support and empower adolescents and their families
and works to overcome poverty, provide decent jobs, and promote equal opportunity. In all advocacy efforts we must remember to focus
on adolescents and families with the greatest need. This is the “Option for the Poor” in action.” (United States Catholic Bishops,
Renewing the Vision)
Weekly Parenting Tip # 49
Upcoming Events
Children exceed when they feel good about themselves.
• When your kids make mistakes or bad choices, separate the deed
from the doer. The choice is bad, not the child.
• Treat your children with respect. Listen without interrupting;
talk without yelling.
• When your kids ask for something and you say no, try to give a
reasonable explanation for your decision. This is common courtesy.
The following are some of the upcoming events in
youth ministry:
(Excerpts from What Kids Need to Succeed: Proven, Practical
Ways to Raise Good Kids)
• 8/27 Rock the Lot 11am-11pm, Parking Lot.
• 9/4 Open Gym 7-9pm, School Gym.
• 9/10 Night Ministry 5-9pm, St. Joseph Center

ARTICLES FROM OUR SPRING SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
Sixth grade- Mrs. Johnson - Room 303
It is hard to believe that the 2010-2011 school year is coming to a close. The sixth graders are certainly well
prepared for 7th grade. Looking back on all the engaging lessons and activities it’s hard to name just a few highlights.
In math, the sixth graders can often be found working on handson-activities such as “Waste Not Want Not” that had students determining the edible percent of fruit. They have also been brushing up
on computation skills playing games on the interactive whiteboard.
Sixth grade got caught up in a little March Madness through math
activities which allowed them to use team stats to complete math
problems. A culminating activity had them prepare and present a
power point on the schools involved in the tournament. These activities are always class favorites.
The sixth graders have often been victorious over the fifth graders
in the weekly enrichment challenge the classes participated in. The
two classes have gotten together on Tuesdays this year to play games
that reinforce key skills including computation, problem solving, and
geometry.
Hardly a week passes when the students are not in the science lab for at least one or two classes. Mrs. Shutt has provided an excellent
hands-on curriculum allowing the children to develop a love of science. One of their favorite activities was the ever famous egg drop
activity where they had to design packaging to protect an egg while in motion.
The children have been enjoying reading, writing, learning grammar, and mastering spelling skills in Language Arts. One of the more
interesting activities gave the students the chance to perform shadow puppet shows for younger students based on Asian fairy tales. The
students enjoyed applying various skills including comprehension, summarizing, characterization, and developing fluency.
One of the student’s favorite activities in Social Studies this year focused on Greek Mythology. The children researched a god or goddess then presented the information to the class dressed as that figure.
The sixth graders have been very active in preparing and participating in school liturgies and prayer services. All the students have had
a chance to be an active participant in prayer as readers, gift bearers, or choir members. On those occasions when the sixth graders are
not actively part of the liturgy, they get the chance to pray with their kindergarten prayer partners. They continue to develop a sense of
service through completion of chores for younger grades, participation in drives and fund raisers including collecting bags used to make
mats for the homeless. In addition to in-class activities the students have had the chance to participate in fun and educational field trips
that helped build class unity. Many students participated in the Guerin Prep Gator Challenge. This after school event allowed the students
to work together to conquer athletic challenges including a free throw contest and volleyball serving challenge. The ladies had the opportunity to participate in St. Scholastica’s Math Carnival which had the students participate in various math games in a fun and challenging
way. While still at school, the boys had the chance to work with the first graders in their centers. Their responsibility and maturity were
an asset to Mrs. Harris!
Mrs. Johnson will be sad to see the students go but feels confident that they are ready to face the challenges ahead.
Seventh Grade Miss Aiello - Room 309
The second half of this school year has been very busy. The seventh grade students have
been focusing on fractions, ratio, proportion, and percents. Other topics include area of
polygons and circles, surface area, and volume. They also solve word problems with real
life situations. In March they celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation. In addition to
preparing for Confirmation, they studied the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. In English
they presented an oral report on a topic of their choice. They studied prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and subject/verb agreement. They also wrote poems and creative
stories. They have been reading a variety of types of literature, such as biographies, autobiographies, and fables. They also read the novel The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. In science class they dissected owl pellets and chicken wings. They also did a project on early
astronomers. They learned about organ systems and animal behavior, too. During social
studies class they studied about the American Revolution, the Constitution, and the Civil
War. They are currently involved in a Civil War game. The seventh graders are still working with their Kindergarten – Room 110 buddies. They helped the kindergarteners write their autobiographies. Also to celebrate Earth
Day they planted seeds in pots made of newspaper. The seventh graders are excited and ready for all that eighth grade is going to bring!
