Living along the shores of Lake Superior—the
“big lake,” as the locals call it—you can often hear
the advice, “Respect the lake; don’t take it for
granted.” People who know Lake Superior respect
its power and watch out for its many moods.
Sunken ships and boats crushed into kindling are
testimonies to what the lake can do.
The readings of this Sunday evoke our
memories of the lake, of the mighty Mississippi
River, or of the ocean itself. Who but God can
control these mighty waters and set limits to their
advance? The lake described in today’s Gospel
was a body of water subject to sudden storms and
churned into dangerous waves by terrible winds.
But these mighty agents are subject to God.
The sailor and the fisher all respect the water. Even
more, they respect the awesome power of the
Maker of wind and sea.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to ALL parish Dads!
Greetings! What a wonderful sight to see, last Sunday at our 11 am
Mass, with our Sanctuary surrounded with a sea of blue and white tshirts of our 2015 ASP Teens and Adult Leaders. I thank ALL of you
for your faith witness in your compassionate service to the needy in
Appalachia. I won’t be here when you leave and return but please
know I will pray for you during your ASP week. Be safe, and be sure
to get some much needed rest when you return safely home. May God
bless you in your good and compassionate work! Thank you Family of
Ascension for your prayerful and financial support of the ASP trip. I
thank you for all of your generosity in participating in the stock sales,
flower sales, the car washes, Lou Malnati days and the Easter Lamb
cake sales. Fr. Hurlbert will not be asking for a SOX design on his
cake for next year but rather a CUBS design (hint-hint which city team
he prefers). My family always enjoyed the SOX decoration before
devouring the delicious cakes. Thanks ASP Teens and Adults!
Thank you Rosemarie Nowicki for your leadership in last
weekend’s Blood Drive. Thanks to all who donated their blood in
giving life to others. Thanks to our volunteers for your service.
Thanks to Bob Kutella and our many parish volunteers, our annual
Summer Lunch Program is off to a very good start. Thanks Bob and to
ALL of you for your kindness and compassion. The next summer
lunch will be on the 4th of July.
Congratulations to our new Pastor, Fr. James Hurlbert on the
occasion of his 25th Anniversary as a priest. May God continue to
bless you, Fr. Hurlbert, in your priestly ministry, especially now as you
become the 10th Pastor of Ascension Parish. May you be as happy as I
was here in my Pastorate. God’s blessings on your Priest Ordination
Anniversary.
Congratulations to Deacon Roger Vandervest on the occasion of his
10 years as a Deacon. Thanks Roger for your service to us as well as to
the Archdiocese of Chicago. You and Betty make a wonderful Deacon
Couple.
Ordination anniversary best wishes go out to two of our former
Associates, Fr. Tom Baldonieri and Fr. John Moulder. God’s blessings
to you in your ministry.
We are for sure now in the Ordinary Time of our Church Year with
the wearing of green vestments and the green banners hanging from the
ceiling in our church. For the next six weekends we will be reading
from the Old Testament Prophets of Ezekiel, Job, Amos and Jeremiah,
which in one way or another, are linked with the Gospel of St. Mark
which we will be reading from. The Old Testament Prophets refer to
the ‘Messenger’ to come, which of course is Jesus Christ. St. Mark
centers on the theme of Jesus Christ ‘The Messenger’ of the New
(Continued on page 3)

Testament who will have authority over sin and
death. The ‘Mosaic’ of the readings will show
God’s patience with God’s ‘Chosen Ones’
forgiving their false gods, selfishness and
harshness of heart. The readings will remind all of
God’s people of the love God has for us. They will
suggest many practical ways in how we in our
everyday living can find ways to stay ‘in God’s
good graces’. As David P. wrote a few weeks
back, there is nothing ordinary about Ordinary
Time.
Please keep returning your Parish Directory
Information and your surveys to our Parish Center
via the weekend Offertory collection basket, or by
dropping it off at the Parish Center. Your response
has been wonderful as we have received hundreds
back so far. So thank you so very much for your
cooperation.
We have been invited by the OPRF Community
of Congregations and the Historical Society of
OPRF to participate in their annual House of
Worship Walk on Sunday, June 28th beginning at 2
pm. For further information please see page five.
Speaking of churches, we also have a ‘standing
invitation’ from our Sharing Parish of St. Martin de
Porres to join them and others, on the remaining
Wednesday’s of this month and next, from 6-7 pm,
on the corner of Laramie and Adams, to pray for an
end of all this senseless killing and violence
especially of our young people. As I have shared
before, the readings of the names in the Prayer of
the Faithful on the weekend because of this
violence is heartbreaking and so very sad.
Upon further review, the damage done to that
air conditioning part was caused by a power surge
which severely damaged the wire. Because of that
the Archdiocese is submitting an insurance claim
for this $16,100.00 part. Let us hope that they will
accept our claim, and with our $1,000.00
deductible, the ‘financial hit’ won’t be as bad and
frustrating as originally thought. The Insurance
Company assures me that they will get back to me
in a timely fashion.
One of the recurring themes of the survey was
your response to my weekly letter. Thank you for
your positive remarks and your sensitivity and
compassion toward me by not mentioning my
attempt at a weekly joke or pun. I enjoyed doing
J
U N E

this weekly letter. I did it at Queen of the Universe
and I plan on doing it at St. Matthias. I have
already received a deadline from them, as we have
received a deadline for our Dome publication, for
the weekend of the 4th and 5th of July. Sadly, for
St. Matthias, I also plan on doing my letter with
attempts at a weekly joke or pun. They have no
idea what is coming their way! Anyway, thanks for
your positive feedback and I always enjoyed doing
this weekly letter. I tried my best to keep you
informed the best I could on what were the ‘latest’
goings on with our Family of Ascension.
I thank you for the many offers of a place to
stay for next weekend but there is furniture that
will remain in the parsonage for Fr. Hurlbert. Not
all of the furniture was mine, some of it belongs to
the parish. Thank you for your kind offers.
As I have said each week, I thank you for your
continued financial support and generosity.
Remember that our fiscal year ends on June 30th,
so any additional financial support you can give
before the end of the month would be greatly
appreciated. I thank you for ALL that you do for
our Family of Ascension. I thank you for ALL that
you do for God’s people here and far away, such as
in Appalachia.
I pray for you every day. I will always pray for
you every day.
Passengers that were on a United Flight to
London had to spend a night in the U.S. Army
barracks and the Crew stayed in a fancy hotel due
to engine trouble. The passengers were not happy
about their stay. United is saying that, at least, they
had single rooms. United was using the Army
slogan: ‘One Army one person’.
Have a good week.
And again, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL
PARISH DADS!!
GOD’S BLESSINGS TO ALL.

A Blessing for Fathers
We praise you, Father of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
the God of Joseph, holy guardian of the Divine Child, and the first to teach
Jesus the Torah. Send your Holy Spirit upon our fathers, grandfathers,
godfathers, fathers-in-law, uncles and all who have shown us fatherly love.
Heal their pains and disappointments. Forgive all that needs to be forgiven.
Give to them the good that they have given others. Welcome into your arms
those who have died. Fill this world, O God, with a father’s love!
We ask this through your Son Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray to you as Abba.
He lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, who is Father of the poor,
one God forever and ever. Amen.

. . . A note from Julie Krakora
Happy Father’s Day to each dad who is a fabulous example of love, faith, and service to your
children! On this day, I offer par ticular thanks to some special father s who have been a tr emendous
help for ASP and support for my time in youth ministry! As this month of June comes to an end, so too all
of our fundraising for ASP and my time here at Ascension as the Director of Youth Ministry. A hallmark of
Ascension Parish is strong witness to be faith in action through social justice and a desire to be in solidarity
with those less fortunate and in pain. May this example lead all of you, and especially our youth, into a
strong membership in this community and deeper into our shared Catholic faith. It is only fitting that I close
with the blessing we gave to those at 11am Mass on June 14th with ALL of you. Thank you for your
witness, for your support, and prayers for me and our youth!
Lord God, as an instrument of faith and grace, the membership of Ascension parish has been present
to support our teens and adults in our desire to walk and become more like You. While we serve in Your
name and in the name of our parish community, bless those here with genuine inner strength to always
seek and live your ways at home. Allow each parishioner to feel the joyful gift of your Spirit in their
giving and nourish their souls with the evidence of your love constantly alive through their actions and
heartfelt service. We ask this Jesus, in your name. Amen.

Advice from the National Institute of Mental Health: "If you have a
family member or friend who is suicidal, do not leave him or her
alone. Try to get the person to seek help immediately from an
emergency room, physician, or mental health professional. Take
seriously any comments about suicide or wishing to die. Even if you
do not believe your family member or friend will actually attempt
suicide, the person is clearly in distress and can benefit from your help
in receiving mental health treatment." www.nimh.nih.gov Suicide
Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255.
