Don't take it for granted!
“What shall we do?”
April 17, 2016
On this Anniversary week-end, Jesus asks us to
enter courageously into the signs and wonders of his
love and make plain his teachings to the world! Be
his disciple, love one another!

The Ministry of Sacristan
Consider becoming a Sacristan at St. John Brebeuf.
This ministry is crucial to the daily functioning of
the church, and today we have a special need for
sacristans for the funeral masses held on weekdays
and Saturdays. You might consider working in pairs
with another sacristan to make the time more fun.
What does the Sacristan do?
Many things need to be done before liturgy can take
place. Bread and wine must be in place, vessels and
vestments available, books set out and candles lit,
guiding the younger altar servers into place, occasionally reading from Scripture. The ordained ministers often do some of this work, but sometimes they
need an extra hand. Don’t worry - you won’t need to
take care of everything: the lectors, altar servers,
ushers and Eucharistic ministers have responsibilities for making ready the materials that they themselves use. We invite you to consider this ministry of
holy duties, serving the liturgy and serving the entire
community. Call the office and ask for Barbara or
leave your phone number.
READINGS FOR APRIL 24
First Reading — Paul and Barnabas continue their travels, spreading the faith and unifying the churches (Acts 14:21-27).

Second Reading — John’s vision of God
dwelling with the human race (Revelation 21:15a).

PERPETUAL
EUCHARISTIC
ADORATION
Christ's followers were
skeptical when He preached
the reality of His Body and
Blood as food and drink. St.
John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer
went about with Him."
Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do
you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did
not understand any more than those who left
Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord,"
he said, "to whom shall we go? You have
the words of eternal life."
We have the "Word of Eternal Life"
right here with us day and night in our
Adoration Chapel. Do you have something
you want to ask Him? There are several
hours needing adorers. Please pick one for
your personal hour with Him.

April 17: Fourth Sunday of Easter
Dear Parishioners
We are currently seeking individuals to serve on
our parish pastoral council. The parish pastoral
council is the core group of parishioners that supports and councils the pastor in his leadership role,
expands his awareness of needs and achievements,
and counsels him on pastoral matters while affirming his office as the parish’s spiritual leader and
their link with the bishop and the universal church.
To qualify to serve as a member you must be a
practicing catholic, parishioner of St. John Brebeuf
for a minimum of three years, celebrate the Eucharist with the community of St. John Brebeuf and be
an active member in one of our parish ministries.
Today, we celebrate “Good Shepherd
Sunday” where we reflect on Jesus' care
and love of us. Your gift to the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul will show that you are indeed the
disciple of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, as it will bring
your love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness
and dread.
Do you, or a family you know need assistance?
Please call the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that
together we can help the suffering and poor. All information will be strictly confidential.

Drodzy Parafianie,
Gratulacje z okazji 50-tej rocznicy poświęcenia kościoła pod wezwaniem św. Jana Brébeuf! Bóg
nam błogosławi! Ta parafia jest pięciogwiazdkowa! Proszę poświecić trochę czasu, na modlitwie
dziękczynnej; Proszę również wesprzeć życie parafialne, ofiarując swój czas, talent i bogactwo!
Nie przyjmujcie założenia, że wszystko jest gotowe!
Wystarczy pomyśleć, ile razy przyszliśmy tutaj, aby słuchać słowa Bożego, aby usłyszeć również
swój głos, aby poznać Boże współczucie i miłosierdzie, aby zrozumieć, oraz dojść do światła.
Wiara jest zjednoczeniem wszystkich tych postaw i czynów oświecających. Wiara przyszła do nas
na Ołtarzu Pańskim, który jest w centrum budynku kościoła i wszystko co robimy, jako parafianie.
To tutaj, wyrażamy postawę całkowitej akceptacji i poddajemy się tajemnicy Jezusa w prostych,
ale często głębokich momentach naszego życia.
”Zatem, co powinniśmy zrobić?"
W ten rocznicowy weekend Jezus prosi nas, aby otworzyć się odważnie na znaki i cuda Jego
miłości i uczynić zwykłą Jego naukę w stosunku do świata! Bądźcie Jego uczniami, miłujcie się
wzajemnie!
Czas na wypełnienie ankiety mija w poniedziałek, 18 kwietnia! Abp Cupich chce waszego wkładu.
Proszę wypełnić ankietę, i odpowiedzieć na pytania w niej zawarte mające na celu pomóc abp
Cupich oraz Archidiecezji Chicago w lepszym zrozumieniu perspektywy katolików w powiatach
Cook i Lake. www.archchicago.org/renew. Uwaga wszystkie odpowiedzi będą anonimowe.
Ankiety papierowe są dostępne w kościele lub w biurze.

wątpliwości, samotności i strachu.
Czy ty, lub rodziny wiesz potrzebują pomocy? Proszę zadzwonić do Wspólnoty Świętego Wincentego a Paolo,
które może pomóc cierpiącym i ubogim. Wszystkie informacje będą poufne.
