August 18, 2013 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Edna Outreach Monday-Friday 9:00 am-5:00 pm Saturday 9:00 am-1:00 pm 847-398-3362 x 323 Dear Parishioners, "It’s only when we truly know I remain most grateful and proud of the Staff and volunteers who helped us to fittingly celebrate the Funeral Mass for Fr. John Hurley. The Mass and prayer service were among the most powerful liturgies I have ever experienced. I recognize the sadness and grief that many have expressed upon the death of Fr. Hurley. I know that Fr. Hurley was most grateful for the love and support he received during his time at St. Benedict’s Independent Living Center. His final days were filled with many visits from parishioners, cards and notes and enjoyable lunch outings. I am most grateful that Fr. Hurley did not suffer a lengthy hospital stay and that his passing was very peaceful. Still, there is a profound sadness that we may feel in our time of grief. It is important to remember that grief is a process and that no two people grieve in the same way. Sometimes we can get stuck wishing we would have done more or that we could have controlled or prevented the death of a loved one. Acceptance is the result of letting go. According to Dr. Kübler-Ross, this can be both empowering and enlightening. When we are faced with our own mortality or that of a loved one, things that once seemed important become miniscule. and understand that we have a limited time on earth, and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." (Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, 1926-2004) I pray that we will always remember the best of who Fr. John was, and treasure the goodness and love that we were privileged to know at Saint Edna for nearly thirty years. ******************************************* The days of summer are quickly passing and soon our thoughts turn to the beginning of a new school year. I was asked to print the blessing that we offered last week for those who are returning to school. Let us pray for all our students and teachers as they begin a new academic year. Good and Gracious God, We ask you to send your blessings upon these students, that they may continue to grow in wisdom and strength. May the Holy Spirit inspire these young men and women, that they may possess a thirst for knowledge of themselves and of the world; and may their learning lead them to the source of all goodness and truth, which is you. Give them healthy minds and bodies and keep them safe from all harm. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. ………………………………………………………... Let us pray for one another, Fr.

STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL strives to inspire our community to express gratitude for God’s many gifts through service to God and one another. LOOKING BACK, ACTING FORWARD On an island in the Tiber River in Rome stands the small Basilica of Saint Bartholomew. In the year 2000, Pope John Paul II dedicated it as a shrine to all Christian victims of twentieth-century wars and persecution throughout the world. The side chapels in the basilica contain mementos of men and women who died for their Christian faith and their love of others. Some of them you will have heard of, some you will not. Many are Catholic, but Protestants and Orthodox Christians are also represented. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI visited the basilica and spoke of the great love shown by those whose names we know, as well as that of countless more souls known only to God who have given their lives or suffered torture or detention rather than betray their faith in Christ. The basilica is in the care of the Community of Sant’Egidio, which was founded in Rome by high school students in 1968 and now claims fifty thousand members in over seventy countries. Pope Benedict’s visit celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Community. Members are lay people who have decided to commit themselves to living the Gospel as fully as possible. They bond through Bible reading and daily prayer, and their stewardship is expressed in direct assistance to the poor, the elderly, and the homeless, and in medical care for people living with AIDS. They are also committed to an ongoing dialog with other Christian denominations and other faith traditions, and to peacemaking activities. Like the members of the Sant’Egidio Community, we should observe and value the images of the saints in our church. They serve as a constant reminder of the value of a gospel-centered life, and challenge us to risk whatever it takes to follow Christ in our daily life. Copyright © 2011, World Library Publications.

EDNA PRAYER BASKET: The Prayer Basket is in church and is offered as a part of the offertory at Mass. Intentions are placed in the basket and they are strictly between the person that places them in there and the Lord who receives them. The prayers are then offered collectively during the Prayer of the Faithful at Mass. ANNOUNCED PRAYERS AT MASS: When people are critically ill, a request form can be filled out in the parish office for prayers to be offered during Mass. ST. EDNA ANGEL NETWORK: is currently on hiatus until the end of the summer. Please offer your prayers for all who need them. Detailed information will be provided when the Angel Network is back up and running on its new format/design. SICK LIST IN THE BULLETIN: As members of St. Edna’s parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate Mass with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick, in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so, please remember in your prayers the people listed below: Angie Alonge Marie Bataska Robert Bassee Pat Baumeister Geri Boness Sean Brown Robert Clark Sandra Clark Tony Conway Joe Coriaci Ken Cybul Joyce Dawidczyk Marilyn Desens Pattie Dorner Jane Femal Dick Freund Evelyn Friese Frank Gallagher Arianna Gillespie Mary Ann Graham Joseph Graziano Nina Hammar Robert Hawkins, Jr. Baby Jude Hearn Father Phil Hensler Loretta Herrmann Walter Herrmann Roy Hoppe Fr.

May ours be the look of compassion and the touch of comfort to those who reach out to us in their time of need. And may the blessing of compassion be with us all. P. Normile If your name or a loved one’s name is not listed but you would like it to be, please contact me via email or phone. Alternatively, if your name is listed but no longer needs to be on the list, please let me know. Due to the privacy law only names that have been given to us from an immediate family member with the permission of the person requesting prayers will be printed. It is always a privilege to support you in anyway possible. ~Diane Mulroe, Director of Human Concerns dmulroe@stedna.org SUPPORT GROUPS AT ST.

Networking—Everything You Wanted To Know And Were Afraid To Ask Presented by Jim Boysen Wednesday—August 21st at 7:00pm—Hurley Center Networking is one of the most overused and misunderstood aspects of a job search. During this meeting you will discover these things: What is the objective of networking Who is in your network How to prepare for the networking meeting What should and shouldn't be discussed. Enhancing your networking efforts Our speaker, who will lead the discussion of these topics, is Jim Boysen. Jim has a thirty+ career in HR with companies like the Signode and Paslode Divisions of ITW. He served as a teacher for five years in the Catholic schools in Chicago. For the last several years Jim's been a job coach at Career Transitions Center, counseling people just like you as they go through a job search. He has an excellent understanding of what it takes to be successful in a job search. All are welcome! Casual networking will follow the presentation. Please bring your resumes/business cards/handbills to share. Sponsored by the SHARE Job & Networking Ministry (St. James, St. Edna, Our Lady of the Wayside and St. Raymond) For more information: Tom Mannard at tmannard@aol.com What is Spiritual Adoption? Spiritual Adoption is a way to prayerfully bond to one particular, yet unknown, baby as he/she begins the journey from conception to birth. Through Spiritual Adoption, you commit yourself to remembering that child in prayer for 40 weeks, thus “adopting” them, until the day that they are born. This is a prayerful way to open our hearts to those who are voiceless and to be a strong witness to the sanctity of all life. WEEK 22 “Inside my body, I am starting to produce white blood cells this week. They are important because these cells will help my body fight off infection once I am born. My eyebrows and lashes have started to grow, too. When I hear my Mommy’s voice, sometimes I get excited and punch and kick. Other times, though, her voice soothes me to sleep. I can’t wait to see my parents’ faces. I wonder if they look like me. Please pray for my family.” The Job Club consists of a small group of people who are searching for a job. The group meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 7:00pm each month in Room A of the Hurley Center with experienced job counselors who will guide them through the job hunting process. The group acts as a self-help group assisting each other in the job search; sharing with each other job leads, and encouraging each other in their efforts. Each new member is provided at least one individual coaching session with a Job Counselor. You will be provided with tools and support to find how and where to find a job in today’s tough job market. The Job Club has been active since the end of January of 2013 and during that time 63% of regular attendees have found a job. There is no fee; no reservations. For more information, stop by the Parish Office and ask for a brochure. August 18, 2013 16 James C. Perkins TURNING 65? BEWILDERED?
