PAGE 2 Just a Thought... In the aftermath of the Christmas days at Old St. Pat’s, I continue to be amazed at the dedication of so many women and men, young adults, teens, and families who create such a powerful experience of Church. Thank you so very much for literally “packing” this place these past few days for our Christmas celebrations. We were delighted by so many out-of-town guests and relatives, lots of college students home on break, and by all of you who sustain Old St. Pat’s throughout the year with your goodness, prayers, and generosity. I was so conscious of the many folks who are “Chicago transplants” and came up to me the weekend before Christmas to say “good bye” as they were preparing to go back home to visit their families for Christmas. Trust me: you were with us the entire time in prayer, song, and spirit! Welcome back to your Chicago home of Old St. Pat’s! If you’re looking for anyone around the Old St. Pat’s Mission Center this week, they’re OFF! And how well-deserved this time of rest is for all of them. I can only say one thing regarding the staff of Old St. Pat’s: you are being well served! We have the best staff of any church organization and parish in the Roman Catholic world, including the Vatican! I am continually amazed by the creativity, generosity, and graciousness of our Old St. Pat’s team. Working for the Church does not mean great salaries for anyone. Yet, all throughout the year, the staff of Old St. Pat’s always rises to the occasion for our ministries, our special events, and the overall mission of this Church in the city. We are blessed by all of them. I am one lucky priest to be working with such talent and dedication. Rest up, team! We stand once again at the threshold of a new calendar year. As we bid farewell to 2009, we are all aware of those who faced (and continue to face) such tremendous challenges this year. There will be new challenges ahead in 2010. Our greatest strategy is our prayer with and for one another. Let us be people of great hope and celebrate well the joys and blessings of our lives in the New Year. God’s blessings to you, Fr. Tom Hurley 2 Please visit our Web site and the online gift shop at www.oldstpats.org.

All of the sudden, He is twelve years old already? I Ask many parents, and it does indeed go nearly that quickly. In a blink of an eye, the children have gone from taking their first steps to their first day of school, and onto their first time behind the wheel. And just as in today’s Gospel, time hasn’t passed without some trials and tribulations… Brigid Cashman, veteran Frances Xavier Warde staff member, and long-time member of Old St. Patrick’s, shares some thoughts with us in raising today’s holy family... The lines were long and the screams were blood curdling recently on the day the H1N1 flu shots were given at The Frances Xavier Warde School. Every good parent who wanted to protect his/her darling from the insidious virus was there on the bitter cold December day to get the vaccines. Enduring the lines and the screams was inconsequential compared to the horrific alternative. Protecting our children is our job as parents, isn’t it? Protecting, yes — but controlling to the extreme, no. In the past decade, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of parents trying desperately to keep their children from pain and life’s hardships. We control all dimensions of our children’s lives: we don’t want our children to be in pain, so we take them to a myriad of specialists. We recoil when they fail a test, so we confront the teacher. We are incensed when our child doesn’t “start” in a game, so we verbally assault the coach. But as the Holy Family showed us so many years ago, we must remember children are resilient. And in order to become resilient, they need to experience pain and loss. No, I am not a proponent of the swine flu; in fact, like the Blessed Mother who scrambled in panic when she was separated from Jesus, I constantly worry about my five-year-old daughter. When Mary did finally reach Jesus after three days, she admonished him for making her worry. It was Jesus who reminded Mary He was fine — of course, He was fine! He knew where to be, He knew to whom He should turn. He had been raised to find comfort in the temple, and He knew that upon separation from His parents, He should return to what He felt was His second home. Mary should not have worried about His ability to make the right choice. We should take the example from the story of the Holy Family. We must let our children make their way, occasionally choosing the path that might not seem “right” to us. We cannot protect them from everything; they are resilient, and they will bounce back and actually learn from the pain and mistakes they encounter. Like Mary and Joseph, we must straddle the fine line: gracefully embracing the gift of parenthood without overly controlling or protecting our children. Parenthood, two thousand years ago truly was not all that different from raising children today, and we should take our cue from the Holy Family. Holy One, we thank you for our families in all of our configurations; single and partnered, widowed and married some children, no children, grown children… Holy One, we pray for our families in all of our vulnerability; both resilient and still fragile Holy One, we celebrate your blessing finding both welcome and closed doors made known in our families; treading the waters of intimacy and covenant. reflection of your unconditional love embodiment of your compassion, named and claimed, beautiful and beloved. 6 Please visit our Web site and the online gift shop at www.oldstpats.org. C OMMUNITY AND G LOBAL O UTREACH MAKING EVERY DAY CHRISTMAS IN OUTREACH BY BETH MAREK YOU’RE ALL INVITED… Around this time of the year, I receive numerous phone calls regarding volunteering on the actual holiday itself— Christmas Day. And my response has always been the same; we need volunteers every day of the year and the holidays tend to be overwhelmed with volunteers. I try to encourage people to volunteer the other 364 days of the year.

PATRICK’S CHURCH AND CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL UNION INVITE YOU TO: THEOLOGY 2010: CATHOLIC THOUGHT FOR THINKING CATHOLICS For those of us looking to engage in intellectually serious conversation about our faith, but not looking for an academic degree program; for those of us who believe in the value a community of learning provides, but are not sure where it can be found; “Theology 2010” creates a place for us. Please join us for our second annual presentation of this unique speaker series co-sponsored by Old St. Patrick’s Church and Catholic Theological Union. We encourage and hope for your participation in all four sessions, but you are also welcome to attend as many of the sessions as you wish. Theology 2010: Catholic Thought for Thinking Catholics Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010 Theology and the Priesthood Steve Bevans, S.V.D. There are many realities currently facing the Catholic priesthood that will continue to affect the Church in the years to come. Fr. Steve Bevans will explore the issues of, among others, aging clergy and the lack of vocations, the continued experience of women being called to the priesthood, and the explosion of vocations as the center of gravity as Christianity moves to the global south. Where: Old St. Patrick’s Church Hall 700 W. Adams Street Chicago, Illinois When: First Wednesday of the month January through April, 2010 Time: 7 – 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2010 Theology and the Market, Making a Life, Not Just a Living Format: 7 p.m. Lecture 8 p.m. Question and Answer 8:20 p.m. Break for “After Words Cafe” (informal discussion for those who would like to continue the conversation). 9 p.m. Program ends Gene Ahner In today's economic climate, how can individuals move from viewing business as more than the moral exhortation of "do not lie, cheat, or steal" and "give generously to worthwhile causes?” To survive, effective business men and women need to make more than a living; business needs to be understood as a vocation, giving a deeper meaning to activities that take up so much of our time, talent and energy. Program Fee: $12 per session; $40 for the series. Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Theology and Arts: The Art of Theology Registration: Ed Foley, Capuchin Throughout our history, Christians have employed various art forms to express and create theology. This PowerPoint presentation will examine the importance of the arts — especially music — in both understanding and encountering the Divine.

THERE MUST BE A MIDDLE PLACE Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Theology and Power Helen Cahill, D.Min. Based on the assumption power is central to spirituality, this presentation provides an opportunity for participants to explore the nature of both human and Divine power. In the context of the new universe story, attention will be given to the different ways we exercise power. 8 BETWEEN ABSTRACTION AND CHILDISHNESS WHERE ONE CAN TALK SERIOUSLY ABOUT SERIOUS THINGS.

Northwest Side and West Suburban Speaker and Discussion Series Old St. Pat’s is a large congregation drawing members from more than 200 different zip codes. While it’s great to be part of a growing and vibrant experience of Church, sometimes it’s challenging to feel connected to others within such a large community. These satellite locations provide opportunities each month for our members and friends from around the city and suburbs to gather together with their Old St. Pat’s neighbors, hear an interesting speaker, and have some great conversation (without making a trip downtown!). Come join us! All locations follow the same format: 6:30 p.m. Refreshments and Welcome 7 p.m. Presentation and Discussion 8:30 p.m. Program Ends TOPIC & SPEAKER Living with Mystery: A Catholic Path Bob Kolatorowicz Bob Kolatorowicz directs programming in adult spirituality and the social justice ministries at Old St. Patrick’s Church. “It’s a mystery!” Maybe you recall this phrase as an unsatisfying answer from a puzzled religious educator. It also appears quite frequently as a punch line in Catholic humor. In Liturgy, we speak about celebrating the sacred mysteries. The idea of “mystery” is no stranger to the Catholic world. But how are we to best understand the concept of mystery? This presentation will invite you to consider a spiritual understanding of mystery. In common usage, mystery often refers to impenetrable puzzles. In the geography of spirit, mystery speaks to the endlessly accessible, to the inexhaustible layers of meaning that can be found in our life experiences. Please join us for a very down-to-earth consideration of living with mystery in our daily lives.

This support has made a real difference in the lives of the 540 professionals seeking work during this past, very challenging year. Every week, we hear of “landings” that not only restore income, but also dignity and a sense of hope for our community, city, and country. CTC serves predominantly mid-career professionals, a segment of the workforce particularly hard-hit this past year. Sixty-five percent of our clients are 40 to 59 years old, and another ten percent are 60 to 70 years of age. Forty percent of our clients are single, many without family or close community in Chicago. The shift in the job market has resulted in not only the loss of jobs, but derailed careers. Many jobs lost in Chicago simply won’t be replaced when the economy slowly begins to improve. Indeed, for a large percentage of clients, this is the first time they have experienced job loss. As one professional explained, “CTC was invaluable for me from day one of my search to have a place to connect with people, and a structure to serve my progress. The coaches gave me valuable input in setting career goals and were helpful with my final negotiations for my new position.” We are increasingly helping clients reinvent themselves, and to determine what they do that is valuable and relevant, either in an organization or as an independent. We serve clients and the community with more than 2,500 job/career coaching appointments, 150 programs, and outreach events. Our work is made possible by an engaged board, a small committed staff, a dedicated team of more than 40 volunteer career coaches, sponsoring organizations, and gifts of generous individuals. We continue to feel the pressure of serving additional people in need. I am pleased to share with you CTC will be expanding its space in January 2010 to include three new coaching offices, and space for meetings and programs right here on the Old St. Pat’s campus in the Center for Social Concerns, 703 W. Monroe, Chicago. We hope you will be interested to know more. We invite you to explore our Web site at www.ctcchicago.org, or contact us at 312.906.9908. Again, thank you for your support. Wishing you a year of possibility!

This could be a great opportunity for those in a life change: job/career transition, mid-career, mid-life, and pre-retirement. This program begins on Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2010 from 6 - 8 p.m., and continues for a total of four consecutive Wednesdays, plus an additional final session. The cost of $300 [$200 for CTC clients] includes all materials for the program and two individual coaching sessions. As part of a line of programming focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, sponsored by Charter One Bank, An Uncommon Way Forward, Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010 from 1 – 3 p.m., will help participants crystallize a vocation-based work and career vision and advance their employability through a portfolio of marketable proficiencies.

S HARING FIRST FRIDAY CLUB OF CHICAGO Date: Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 Speaker: Stephen J. Grabek regional president Chartis Insurance Topic: "The Human Side of a Corporate Disaster” Time: Noon Location: Union League Club, Main Lounge, 65 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago Cost: THE M ISSION Visit the Loyola University Museum of Art and make your family’s holiday very special. Art and Faith of the Creche: The James and Emilia Goven Collection An exhibition of 100 creches and Nativities from around the world.

Call Table Captains before noon Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2010: Paula Krupka, 312.280.2624, or Peggy Pecoraro, 773.774.5250. Because of contractual arrangements with the Union League Club, once your reservation is made, your lunch fee is required, even if you cannot attend. The dress code at the Union League Club is business casual for men and women, no jeans or tennis shoes. If someone would have told you a mere three years ago the following list of American companies would have crashed, closed, abruptly ended doing business, or needed massive government financial bailouts, what would have been your response? “No way” seems to be the common response. However, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Madoff Investment Securities, Washington Mutual, Mervyn’s, Circuit City, Waterford Wedgwood, and American Home Mortgage revealed a tragic flaw in the American financial system. Bring in this flyer for FREE admission on Sundays through Jan. 17, 2010. Free guided tours noon - 2 p.m. daily. Amid all those companies and many more, the lives of ordinary people — employees, their families, retirement plans, mortgages, and ways of life have been deeply affected. Steve Grabek knows this experience first-hand. He was regional vice president for AIG Commercial Insurance. Though his division of AIG was protected from financial collapse by federal regulation, Steve and all his employees were directly affected by the financial meltdown. The First Friday Club has invited Mr. Steve Grabek, now regional president of Chartis US, to walk us through the human experience of ordinary people whose lives, jobs, finances, and families were so seriously altered.

Friday Nm 6:22-27/ Gal 4:4-7/ Lk 2:16-21 Saturday 1 Jn 2:22-28/ Jn 1:19-28 Saint of the Week Dec. 27 Feast of St. John the Apostle (apostle, evangelist, first century) It is God who calls; human beings answer. The vocation of John and his brother James is stated very simply in the Gospels, along with that of Peter and his brother Andrew: Jesus called them and they followed. The absoluteness of their response is indicated by the account. James and John “were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.” (Matthew 4:21b-22). For the three former fishermen — Peter, James, and John — their faith was to be rewarded by a special friendship with Jesus. They alone were privileged to be present at the Transfiguration, the raising of the daughter of Jairus and the agony in Gethsemane. But John’s friendship was even more special. Tradition assigns to him the Fourth Gospel, although most modern Scripture scholars think it unlikely the apostle and the evangelist are the same person. John’s own Gospel refers to him as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (see John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2), the one who reclined next to Jesus at the Last Supper, and the one to whom he gave the exquisite honor of caring for his mother, as he stood beneath the cross of Jesus. “Woman, behold your son .... behold, your mother” (John 19:26b, 27b). Because of the depth of his Gospel, John is usually thought of (and depicted) as the eagle of theology, soaring in high regions where other writers did not enter. But the ever-frank Gospels reveal some very human traits, and Jesus himself gave James and John the nickname, “sons of thunder.” The Apostle John is traditionally considered the author of the Fourth Gospel, three New Testament letters, and the Book of Revelation. His Gospel is a very personal account. He sees the glorious and Divine Jesus already in the incidents of his mortal life. At the Last Supper, John’s Jesus speaks as if he were already in heaven. It is the Gospel of Jesus’ glory. Adapted from the “Saint of the Day” Web site, http://www.americancatholic.org.

Friday 1 Jn 5:5-13/ Lk 5:12-16 Saturday 1 Jn 5:14-21/ Jn 3:22-30 Saint of the Week Jan. 4 Memorial of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (married woman, religious founder, 1774 - 1821) Mother Seton is one of the keystones of the American Catholic Church. She founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity; she opened the first American parish school, and established the first American Catholic orphanage. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was born Aug. 28, 1774, and by birth and marriage, she was linked to the first families of New York. Brought up in a strict Episcopalian home by her mother and stepmother, she learned the value of prayer, Scripture, and a nightly examination of conscience. Her father, Dr. Richard Bayley, did not have much use for churches, but was a great humanitarian, teaching his daughter to love and serve others. The early deaths of her mother in 1777 and of her babysitter in 1778 gave Elizabeth a feel for eternal life after death. At 19, Elizabeth was the belle of New York and married a handsome, wealthy, businessman, William Magee Seton. They had five children before his business failed and he died of tuberculosis. At age 30, with five small children to support, Elizabeth was widowed and penniless. As she struggled to make ends meet, she witnessed the power of Catholicism through the thoughtful actions of some close friends. Three basic points led Elizabeth to become a Catholic: belief in the Real Presence, devotion to the Blessed Mother, and a conviction the Catholic Church led back to the apostles and to Christ. Many of her family members rejected her when she became Catholic in March 1805. To support her children, Elizabeth opened a school in Baltimore. The thousands of letters of Mother Seton reveal the development of her spiritual life from ordinary goodness to heroic sanctity. She suffered great trials of sickness, misunderstanding, the death of close loved ones (her husband and two young daughters), and the heartache of a wayward son. She died Jan. 4, 1821, and became the first American-born citizen to be beatified (1963), and then canonized (1975). She is buried in Emmetsburg, Maryland.
