Statement of Archbishop Blase J. Cupich
On the XIV Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops
October 25, 2015
The Synod was a great success on a number of levels. We walked together with humility and spoke to each other with boldness and candor, as Pope Francis asked. But even
more importantly, the synod was a decisive demonstration of the Pope's ability to govern
wisely and effectively.
Throughout these sometimes stormy days Pope Francis remained serene and centered,
trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. His demeanor and poise had an enormous
impact on the bishops. Jesus asked Peter to walk on water and this time he kept his eyes
on the Lord and taught us all how to walk together.

An Invitation: Is God Calling You?
Are you being called into a deeper and more intimate
relationship with our Lord? If you are feeling that invitation, then the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius may be
your “Yes!” St. Ignatius of Loyola established the Spiritual Exercises to grow in union with God and to discern
God’s plan for us.
We will be holding the Lightworks program in Advent, beginning on Sunday, November 22 with a talk on “How God Works in Our World”. This
will be followed by talks on December 6, 13, and 20. Anyone interested
in learning more about Ignatian Spirituality is invited to join us for any of
these talks.
All sessions will be held in the Loughry Room beginning at 3:00 and
ending by 4:30 p.m.
To learn more, please email us at Runzim@yahoo.com.

Remembering with Gratitude Our Beloved Sister Carmeline
For forty years, Sister Carmeline
Goebl blessed our parish and served
our families. As a teacher in the
school, as parish minister, and then as
Director of Religious Education, her
unassuming and devoted leadership
was marked by quiet guidance, strong
faith, and a unique blend of humor
and wisdom. Those of us privileged to
work in Religious Education with Carmie, as she was affectionately known
for years, witnessed these and many
other qualities of her caring heart and
faith-filled spirit on a daily basis.
Her long career as an educator
throughout the Chicago Archdiocese
and in Milwaukee led her to St. Joseph’s in 1967. She taught in the school
for two years (often confessing that
6th graders were her favorite!) and
then became DRE for one of the largest Religious Education programs in
the Archdiocese. From 1969 to 1993,
Sister oversaw a ministry that included
over a hundred catechists, many volunteer aides and more
than a thousand students.
When in 1993, her health required her to slow down,
she graciously accepted a part-time support staff position in
the Religious Education office. Transitioning from a major leadership position to a support role could have been
difficult, but true to her selfless character, Sr. Carmeline became our greatest
resource and most generous helper.
Whenever a project was begun or a
deadline loomed, Sister would always
say, “ I can help with that!” Whenever someone needed to find a specific
Scripture reference, we knew that Carmie would know chapter and verse...
and offer an enthusiastic explanation
of the history and context of the passage. Her knowledge and experience
continued to be invaluable, but it was
simply her positive, kind presence that
meant the most.
When Sr. Ramon died, Carmie was
unable to live alone. So, finally, in 2008,
Sr. Carmeline moved to her community’s Mercy Convent in Chicago. There
she received wonderful care among her
sisters and was delighted when visitors
came, or friends phoned, or notes and cards arrived. She died
very peacefully on July 23, 2015 at 92 years old. Loved by so
many, we can treasure the legacy her faithful life leaves us and
honor the memory of her lifelong service and steadfast faith.
Gratitude to the Boehm Family
When Joanne Boehm, a co-founder and 25-year+
member of the St. Joseph Bereavement Ministry, died
in July of 2014, her family requested that donations be
directed to the ministry she loved so deeply. The money
that was donated in Joanne’s honor was used to purchase
new vestments and a new pall for use at funeral Masses. Joanne always wanted to help address the needs of
grieving parishioners and some of the funds donated in
her name were also used to defray the costs of a Scripture-based grief support group that is now offered twice
a year.
The Bereavement Ministry helps families plan the funeral liturgy for their deceased loved ones. This ministry
also supports the All Souls Mass, the Mass of the Innocents and the Scripture-based grief support group.
Joanne’s husband George and her daughter Theresa are shown here with Fr.
Trout wearing the new chasuble.
The Bereavement Ministry wishes to thank the Boehm Family and all of the
friends and parishioners who made the purchase of these beautiful vestments
possible.

Ministers of Care
Available to Visit
We notice the change
of seasons: the air is
getting crisper and
the winds are blowing
leaves around. Soon
we will be in the midst
of winter, a limiting
season for many who are sick or elderly. The cold and ice present particular
challenges for getting out to Mass on
the weekends. Our Ministry of Care is
available to bring Holy Communion
to those who cannot make it to Mass,
but we need your help. If you, or someone you love, would like a visit from a
Minister of Care, please let us know.
We visit Catholics in their individual
homes as well as at Manor Care, Spring
Meadows, Liberty Towers, Winchester
House and Advocate Condell Hospital.
Contact the Parish Office (847-3622073) or Arlyss Lasecki (847-362-4760)
or Judy Salzman (847-393-7689).

Faith Formation—————————————
So, What is CRHP Like?
Here’s one guy’s experience:
“A friend told me about the Christ Renews
His Parish weekend. I thought it sounded
like an overly-evangelical Bible class of some sort. My wife
had done a CRHP weekend and I didn't quite understand her
calm center about the Holy Spirit. I looked into it further. The
CRHP weekend was going to be right here at St. Joe’s. This
was not going to be a “retreat” in the usual sense. I felt a need
inside me saying to at least give this a try. It was one weekend, right here in Libertyville, at my parish. It sounded like
there was something positive about it, so I took a chance. I
took a big leap of faith, the first ever just for me, and signed
up. Maybe some fellowship with other men of the parish just
might be interesting.
I was blown away! I never in a million years could believe
that other people could do so much for complete strangers.
My whole awareness of God went off the chart. To say that
the discussions, the camaraderie and the relaxed atmosphere
brought out the Spirit in me is an understatement.
The patience of Christ is immeasurable. I
found men just like me—some older, some
wiser—who showed me, without teaching me,
how God is in all our lives. That is what made it so real. Just
as Christ walked among us and gave people joy, face-to-face,
members of this parish could do that for anyone. Imagine going someplace and meeting a bunch of strangers. Leave that
place two days later, friends with all of them. Friends. Not just
any friends, but friends who can just as easily talk about golf,
as talk about God.” - CRHP Alumni
Want to find out more? The next men’s weekend will be
held on November 7 and 8. If you want to talk more about this,
call 847-680-5457. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a chance
to learn more. The CRHP weekend is just $65 to cover costs for
meals, refreshments and a cool shirt. If you are unable to pay,
please do not let that stop you from attending, just let us know.

Kindergartners at St. Joseph Catholic School were given a rare thrill last Wednesday when they hitched
a ride on a bright red 1946 American LaFrance fire truck. Jeff Schmidt, a member of the Libertyville Fire
Department, helped the children climb aboard the vintage fire truck for a scenic ride around town. The
children enjoyed the fall colors, Halloween decorations and waving to folks walking their dogs in the
neighborhood. Nina Y. enjoyed ringing the bell, and Quincy G. and Kylie L. said, “It was the best day
ever!” A wonderful SJCS tradition with our friends in Libertyville.

The Archdiocese recommends that
parishes provide for a holy hour to
pray for priestly vocations. In support
of this, the St. Joseph Vocation Committee and our Spiritual Formation
Committee has scheduled a holy hour,
with Eucharistic Adoration, to be held
every Thursday from 3:00-4:00 p.m.
in the Loughry Room to offer prayers
for priestly vocations. Thursdays have
been chosen as an ideal day for having the prayer hour as it coincides with
Holy Thursday and the institution of
the priesthood at the Last Supper. If
you are looking for a special action this
year, what better way than a short visit
on Thursday to pray for an increase in
priestly vocations? If you are unable to
join us, please keep vocations in your
prayers.

Thoughts on Giving
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)
“Poor in spirit” is confusing for many of us. It simply means to place your trust
in God, putting His will first and being strong in faith. As we celebrate the lives
of the saints on All Saints Day, remember, we, too are called to be saints. Dialing
down our own pride and ego and turning up the humility will help us on our path
to sainthood.
Early Deadline for Nov. 29 Carpenter
Our printing company, J.S. Paluch, has an early deadline coming up. Submissions for the November 29 Carpenter are due
on Wednesday, November 18 by 12:00 Noon. Thank you.

Breaking Open the Word
A Journey to Discipleship
Jesus Companions Us Through Scripture
1. Proclaim God’s Word. Choose someone to read the Scripture. After reading, there is silence from the group in reverence.
2. Invite Response. Invite individuals to respond to a word, phrase or passage that strikes them in some way.
3. Praise God. After a period of response, close by leading the group in praise of God by praying together the Glory Be.
Next Sunday’s Gospel — Mark 12: 38-44
Leader: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark
Response: Glory to You, O Lord
In the course of his teaching Jesus said to the crowds,
“Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes
and accept greetings in the marketplaces, seats of honor in
synagogues, and places of honor at banquets. They devour
the houses of widows and, as a pretext recite lengthy prayers.
They will receive a very severe condemnation.”
He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the
crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in
large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small
coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he
said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in
more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they
have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from
her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.”
@C%Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Reflection
As we approach the end of the Church year, the readings point us to what type of person we need to be in order to gain eternal
life with God in heaven as well as providing guidance on how we can experience joy and peace here on earth. In next Sunday’s
Gospel, Jesus first condemns the scribes, the scholars of the law who lord their superiority over the people they should be
serving. In contrast, Jesus then points to the poor widow who selflessly holds nothing back in order to give glory and honor
to God. Jesus is warning us that those with vain and self-seeking hearts will sentence themselves to a life of want for there
will never be enough wealth, fame or honor to satisfy them. Not so for the humble and giving heart! As we hear in Kings 17:
10-16, generosity is its own reward. When we selflessly give our love to others, we experience both peace and joy. The key
point is to carefully examine our hearts even as we do ‘good’ things. Do we work hard and spend countless hours at work out
of true love for our family, or do we do so because we seek to be admired by our colleagues and be seen as successful by those
in our community? Do we donate out of true Christian charity or is it out of guilt or to be recognized in the annual report as
a generous philanthropist? How generous are we with our love? Do we seek out time with our family or parish community
or do we preciously guard time for ourselves?
For further reflection on the Catholic teaching on prayer as a way to encounter God’s love,
see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 2558 -2565.
Reflection Questions
1. God our Father has been generous with His love for us. He gave us all the love He had by sending His Son to redeem us.
What can I do to express my gratitude to Him for His generosity?
2. As Catholic Christians our parish community is our family and the Mass is our family gathering. What can I bring to the
Mass to help enrich our Catholic community?
3. As followers of Christ we are called to love generously with purity of heart. Where is my love most needed?
