before making any other arrangements.
Visits to the Sick
Due to hospital admitting policies, it is necessary to
inform the Rectory when hospitalized parishioners
would like a visit from a priest or deacon. Likewise,
call if you would like a visit while convalescing at a
facility or at home. Before being admitted to a
hospital for surgery it is advisable to call the Rectory
and arrange a time to receive the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick. Please contact the Rectory
regarding communion visits to the homebound.
Funerals
It is the responsibility of the parish to bury their
dead. The funeral director will contact the Rectory
Office regarding arrangements. Funerals are
ordinarily celebrated at 10am. According to
Diocesan policy, if family members wish to offer eulogies,
they should do so during the wake. #382 of the General
Instruction for the Universal Church states: At the
funeral Mass there should as a rule be a short homily, but
never a eulogy of any kind. No specific offering is
required in connection with the funeral liturgy.
New Parishioners welcome!
Please call the Rectory Office to register.

Dear Parish Family,
This past Friday, June 3rd, we celebrated the
Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Pope Emeritus
Benedict XVI once wrote... the experience of love we
gain through veneration for the pierced heart of the
Redeemer, safeguards us from the risk of closing in on
ourselves, and makes us open to a life lived for others. In
Jesus, we find the perfect example of sacrificial love — of
giving to others for the sake of the other person. He is the
pattern for holiness.
The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is an
incredible picture of sacrificial love! It is my favorite
devotional image of our Lord. I wanted to share that love,
that mercy with you, especially as we continue to observe
this Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis I. And so,
if you haven’t already received it, you will be receiving in
the mail a picture of the Sacred Heart, and the prayer for
you to consecrate your home and family to His merciful
love.
I grew up at Sacred Heart Parish in Lombard. This
beautiful image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the one I am
sending to the home of all our registered parishioners, is
the same image that hung in my family home from the day
we moved to Lombard in 1964 until the day we sold that
home in 2010, after my mother's death. Actually, I have
the picture with me to this day. I think the image of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus is a beautiful way to recall and
artistically capture a glimpse of the complete and total
sacrificial love God has for each and everyone of us... a
love that knows no bounds, no sacrifice too great.
I’m so pleased to be able to share with you the
devotion to the Sacred Heart, which is so near to my own
heart. This image of Jesus is closely related to the
priesthood as well. Because, it is as both priest and victim
that Jesus offers himself to His Father in reparation for
our sins. And, He does it all out of love for us. What a
beautiful gift of self, what a perfect sacrifice He offers on
our behalf. And, through our participation in HIS
sacrifice, during the celebration of the Eucharist (the
Mass), you and I are joined to His perfect sacrifice
through the actions and ministry of the ordained priest.
I am particularly happy to share the Sacred Heart with
all of you as I celebrate my 28th anniversary of Ordination
to the Priesthood on Saturday, June 4th. I entered the
seminary in 1977 as a high school freshman, and was
ordained a priest in 1988. Almost 40 years of my 53 years
of life have been dedicated to the Lord and His Church. I
am so grateful to God for the gift of faith, and to my
parents who had me Baptized as a Catholic, and shared
that gift with me. In particular, as I celebrate my
anniversary of ordination, I thank God for the gift of my
vocation and for the gift and grace of perseverance he has
given me these many years. I love the Lord, His Church,
and His priesthood which He has shared so graciously and
June 5, 2016
undeservedly with me. I hope, in some way, my
priesthood has helped to build-up the Church and further
His mission. I am also grateful to all of you who have
shared your faith with me, and have embraced me as
priest and pastor of this beautiful parish community of
faith. I pray that God will grant me many more years of
faithful service to Him as a priest of Jesus Christ.
God’s Blessings!

Pope Francis I
The month of June is traditionally
dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the
highest human expression of divine love.
Usually, early in the month of June we
celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus: the feast that sets the tone for the
whole month. Popular piety highly prizes
symbols, and the Heart of Jesus is the
ultimate symbol of God's mercy – but it is not an
imaginary symbol, it is a real symbol, which represents
the center, the source from which salvation for all
humanity gushed forth.
In the Gospels we find several references to the Heart
of Jesus, for example, in the passage where Christ says,
“Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and
learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart. (Mt
11:28-29)” Then there is the key story of the death of
Christ according to John. This evangelist in fact testifies
to what he saw on Calvary: that a soldier, when Jesus was
already dead, pierced his side with a spear, and from the
wound flowed blood and water (cf. Jn 19.33-34). John
recognized in that – apparently random – sign, the
fulfillment of prophecies: from the heart of Jesus, the
Lamb slain on the cross, flow forgiveness and life for all
people. But the mercy and forgiveness of Jesus is not just
sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises
man up! So let us go to the Lord, Who is mercy itself.
And, let us turn to the Virgin Mary: her immaculate heart
– a mother’s heart – which has shared the “compassion”
of God to the full, especially at the hour of the passion
and death of Jesus. May Mary help us to be meek, humble
and compassionate with our one another.

Saint Peregrine Devotions Tuesday evening at 7pm
Monthly Devotions in Honor of Saint
Peregrine Patron of those who suffer from
Cancer or any incurable disease or
condition
Tuesday is the FIRST TUESDAY of the
month, and we will hold our monthly
devotions in honor of Saint Peregrine, the
patron saint of those who suffer from cancer
or any incurable disease or condition, at 7pm in the church.
Cancer and chronic sickness and pains touches every
family. Many are suffering, and we all need prayers and
encouragement from one another. W hen we are linked by the
power of prayer, we, as it were hold each other’s hand as we
walk side by side along a slippery path; and thus by the
bounteous disposition of charity, it comes about that the
harder each one leans on the other, the more firmly we are
riveted together in true Christian love... [Saint Gregory the Great]
The early facts about Saint Peregrine are few and
uncertain. He was born in Italy around 1265. He and his
family were part of the anti-Papal forces seeking to usurp the
temporal power of the Pope in the Papal States. When Saint
Phillip Benizi was sent by the Pope to preach reform,
Peregrine, then a young man was part of the protest against
him, and even struck the Saint.
The moment of striking Saint Phillip seemed to
drastically change Peregrine. This enemy of the Church had a
dramatic change of heart. He began to channel his energies
into good works and eventually he joined the Servants of
Mary, and pronounced his vows as a Servite at the age of 30.
He never was ordained a priest, never thinking himself
worthy of such a great honor. But, he nonetheless dedicated
his life to the sick, the poor, and the fringe people of society.
He also imposed a special penance on himself to stand
whenever it was not necessary to sit. This led to varicose
veins. The varicose veins deteriorated into an open, running
sore on his leg. The sore was later diagnosed as cancer. The
wound became so obvious, odorous and painful that the local
surgeon scheduled surgery to amputate the leg.
Suddenly, Peregrine was confronted with the ugliness
and suffering of his own life. The night before the operation
he prayed before the crucifix in the Priory Chapter Room.
His prayer led him to a deep trance-like sleep, during which
he envisioned the crucified Christ leaving the cross and
touching his cancerous leg. When Peregrine awoke, he
discovered the wound healed and the leg saved.
He lived for twenty more years, and died on May 1st, 1345
at the age of 80. Canonized a Saint on December 27th, 1726,
he has been named the patron Saint of those who suffer from
cancer. The power of his intercession is known to be great.
Join us Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. for the devotions
in honor of Saint Peregrine. The blessing with the r elic of
Saint Peregrine will be given, and Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament will also be a part of the evening service. If you, or
someone you know, suffers from this disease, join us for
prayer and ask for healing, an increase in faith, acceptance of
God’s will, and strength to bear whatever God asks of you.
Pope Saint John Paul II
Eucharistic Adoration Chapel
The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us!
The Pope Saint John Paul II
Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is
available for Perpetual Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament seven days a week,
24 hours a day! Frequent visits to the
chapel are encouraged. Everyone is
welcome at any time.
We live in troubling times with many worries and
decisions. Who better than Jesus to bring them to?
Stop in any time of the day or night in the Adoration
Chapel [located in the church building — “behind”
the sanctuary. Enter the Chapel directly to the west of
the Rectory Office, on the east side of the church. The
path is clearly marked].
You can sign-up for ANY HOUR of the day or
night... more adorers are always welcome and
needed. Sign-up as an individual, or as a family/
group. Commit to a specific weekly hour of
adoration, and then, simply make sure someone is
there from the family/group to fulfill the
commitment. By making a “public” commitment
to “be there,” the obligation becomes easier to
keep, because others are counting on you. Jesus is
waiting for you... don’t disappoint Him!
We are always in need of more people to make
the sacrifice of time and effort, to be with HIM in
Eucharistic Adoration.

and/or specific hours of adoration contact:

The Mass: Preparation of the Gifts and Altar
To live and love our Catholic Faith, we have to know it!
Each week we will examine the mass,
piece by piece, looking at all the
elements that go into this great prayer,
the greatest act of worship of the Roman
Catholic Church.
Altare Significat Christe — “the Altar signifies
Christ.” Consecrated for sacred use alone, the altar
symbolizes Christ Himself. The altar is by its very nature
an altar of sacrifice and at the same time a table of the
paschal banquet: a unique altar on which the sacrifice of
the cross is perpetuated in mystery throughout the ages
until Christ comes. Its preparation at this point in the mass
makes clear that something new is beginning. Just as the
pulpit was the focal point of the Liturgy of the Word, so
the altar is the focal point of the Eucharistic Liturgy.
Originally, preparing the altar was quite simple. It was
covered with a cloth, the bread and wine were brought
forward and placed on it. Through the centuries, that
simple action became embellished. During the Middle
Ages great ceremony accompanied the spreading of the
cloth at various times during the mass. With the reforms
of Vatican II, this has been simplified. Now, the altar
cloth is always in place on the altar, always to be made of
white linen, the size may vary depending on the design of
the cloth and altar, and degree of solemnity. Six (at least
two) Candles are properly placed “around” the altar - but,
may be on the altar table itself. Over the cloth is placed a
smaller linen called a corporal [from the Latin meaning
“body”]. Upon the corporal are place, by the priest, the
bread and wine to be consecrated. You’ll notice that
absolutely nothing is to be placed upon the altar except
that which is necessary for the offering of the sacrifice,
and when deacon and servers prepare the altar for the
sacrifice they place things to the right and left sides. Only
the priest is to place the elements to be consecrated on the
corporal, thus “defining” the sacrifice to be offered by
him. When the priest consecrates the elements, his
intention is to consecrate everything placed on the
corporal. And so, touching the corporal are all vessels/
chalices to be consecrated. The rules governing the
offering of the sacrifice are steeped in centuries of
tradition and closely regulated by the Church. They predate Christian worship, and are closely tied to the offering
of sacrifices in the Temple at Jerusalem. The whole
Christian notion of “sacrifice and symbol” come to us
from our Jewish heritage and the customs of Temple
worship. After all, Jesus Christ – who is both priest and
victim – offers the sacrifice once and for all. His sacrifice
fulfills all others, and is the completion of the sacrifices
offered in the Temple.
In the Eucharistic Sacrifice, Jesus is both priest and
victim. Meaning that He is the one “offering” the
sacrifice, the priest, and He is the victim, the one being
offered. That action, makes Him, and His offering, the
perfect Sacrifice. And, to His perfect sacrifice, Christ
Page Five
invites all of us to join ourselves to Him in His offering to
His heavenly Father.
When the priest invites us to Pray, brethren, that my
sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the
almighty Father.... the congregation is being invited into
an extremely important moment and action in the Mass.
One that we easily “gloss over” if we are not careful. The
priest, acting in the person of Christ, invites us to prayer.
We stand and make our response: May the Lord accept
the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his
name, for our good and the good of all His holy Church!
At that moment, we are invited by Christ to take our
“offering” [symbolized in the money collected, and the
bread and wine presented], the “offerings” of our
individual lives — our joys, sorrows, victories, defeats,
struggles, and triumphs... everything we are and have...
and, at that moment in the Mass we offered them to Jesus
who accepts and blessed our offering of self, joins it to
HIS offering, thus perfecting it and making it holy, and
then, offers it to His heavenly Father. How often have
you heard people say, “I don’t get anything out of the
mass!” Perhaps, that’s because they don’t put anything
into the mass? They bring nothing to the celebration of
the Mass, they offer nothing of themselves to Jesus
(spiritually and materially) to offer in their name.
The Mass is an incredible sacrifice. An incredible
gift! It is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, who
accepts and joins us to Himself, and with Himself offers
us to the Father. This is the priestly function of Christ at
work in the sacrifice of the Mass. And, in offering the
sacrifice, He accomplishes our salvation, blesses us,
makes us holy, and gives us Himself in the Holy
Eucharist as food for the journey home to the Father.
What a boundless source of grace, blessing,
encouragement and comfort we can gain from the mass if
we only “participate” and give Him our all!
Farewell Reception
A thank you and farewell reception
will be held for Father Tom Dunn
on Sunday, June 12th following the
noon Mass. Father leaves Saint
Isaac Jogues to become the
parochial Vicar at Holy Family in
Shorewood. We will certainly miss
him, and offer our thanks and
appreciation for all he has done
while he was at Saint Isaac’s.
Please join us to bid him a fond
farewell.

Eucharistic Adoration
By the end of the eleventh century,
Eucharistic adoration as we know it,
began to take shape. Until then the
Real Presence was taken for granted in
Catholic belief and its reservation was
the common practice in Catholic
churches, including the chapels and
oratories of religious communities.
Suddenly a revolution hit the Church
when
Berengarius
(999-1088),
archdeacon of Angers in France,
publicly denied that Christ was really and physically
present under the species of bread and wine. Others took
up the idea and began writing about the Eucharistic Christ
as not exactly the Christ of the Gospels or, by implication,
as not actually there. The matter became so serious that
Pope Gregory VII ordered Berengarius to sign a
retraction.
This credo has made theological history. It was the
Church’s first definitive statement of what had always
been believed and never seriously challenged. The
witness came from the abbot-become-pope, whose faith
in the Blessed Sacrament had been nourished for years in
a Benedictine monastery. Pope Gregory’s teaching on the
Real Presence was quoted verbatim in Pope Paul VI’s
historic document Mysterium Fidei (1965) to meet a new
challenge to the Eucharist in our day — very similar to
what happened in the eleventh century: I believe in my
heart and openly profess that the bread and wine placed
upon the altar are, by the mystery of the sacred prayer
and the words of the Redeemer, substantially changed
into the true and life-giving flesh and blood of Jesus
Christ our Lord, and that after the consecration, there is
present the true body of Christ which was born of the
Virgin and offered up for the salvation of the world,
hung on the cross and now sits at the right hand of the
Father, and that there is present the true blood of Christ
which flowed from his side. They are present not only by
means of a sign and of the efficacy of the Sacrament,
but also in the very reality and truth of their nature and
substance.
With this profession of faith, the churches of Europe
began what can only be described as a Eucharistic
Renaissance. Processions of the Blessed Sacrament were
instituted; prescribed acts of adoration were legislated;
visits to Christ in the tabernacle were encouraged; the
cells of religious men and women, built next to churches,
had windows made into the church to allow the religious
to view and adore before the tabernacle.
From the eleventh century on, devotion to the Blessed
Sacrament reserved in the tabernacle became more and
more prevalent in the Catholic world. At every stage in
this development, members of religious orders of men and
women took the lead. The Benedictine Lanfranc, as
Archbishop of Canterbury, introduced from France into
England numerous customs affecting the worship of the
Real Presence.
St. Francis of Assisi, who was never ordained a priest,
had a great personal devotion to Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament. His first admonition on the Holy Eucharist
could not have been more precise. Sacred Scripture tells
us that the Father dwells in "light inaccessible" (I
Timothy 6:16) and that "God is spirit" (John 4:24) and St.
John adds, "No one at any time has seen God" (John
1:18). Because God is a spirit He can be seen only in
spirit; "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits
nothing" (John 6:63). But God the Son is equal to the
Father and so He too can be seen only in the same way as
the Father and the Holy Spirit. That is why all those were
condemned who saw our Lord Jesus Christ in His
humanity but did not see or believe in spirit in His
divinity, that He was the true Son of God.
In the same way now, all those are damned who see
the Sacrament of the Body of Christ which is consecrated
on the altar in the form of bread and wine by the words of
our Lord in the hands of the priest, and do not see or
believe in spirit and in God that this is really the most
holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was this
clear faith in Christ's presence in the Eucharist that
sustained Francis during his severest trials. It was this
same faith which inspired a whole new tradition among
religious communities. It is this same faith that beckons
us to solemn adoration of Jesus Christ, really and truly
present in the Sacrament of His most holy Body and
Blood.... come, let us adore Jesus! He is waiting for you
in adoration. Give Him your heart, and HE will give you
Heaven!
Jesus is waiting for you!

Corpus Christi Procession 2016
Thanks to everyone who participated in our
Eucharistic Procession on the Feast of Corpus
Christi. It was truly a memorable and blessed
event, as several hundreds of Catholics went out
into the public square walking shoulder to
shoulder behind the King of Kings in a musical,
candlelight, reverent procession of praise and
pageantry, accompanied by 12 religious sisters, 9
priests, 3 deacons, and even a seminarian playing
an African drum.
Once again a freight train threatened to block
our procession from crossing into Clarendon
Hills, and once again it miraculously passed
just before we approached the gates,
as Jesus apparently does not wait for trains.
The serene and surreal evening began with a beautiful Ad
Orientum Mass at St. Isaac Jogues and concluded with
Adoration followed by live music, food, drink and ice
cream at Notre Dame. Along the mile long route, many
homeowners and curious onlookers were amazed and
inspired by such a moving public display of our Catholic
faith, as they respectfully watched, videoed, and
prayed as we passed through their neighborhoods.
We hope that by answering the Pope’s call to bring Jesus
out into the streets, we let Him sanctify and bless our families,
our parishes, and our towns, in many other ways
we may never know.

The Heritage Continues!
Saint Isaac Jogues Preschool
We NEED YOU!
Saint Isaac Jogues Parish School will open a Preschool, for 3
and 4 year olds, for the 2016-2017 school year. Mrs. Carol
Burlinski, Principal of Saint Isaac Jogues School, Mr. Tom Sullivan,
the Director of A dministration for the Parish, and your fellow
parishioners have been hard at work to establish this new program,
an important educational foundational link for our children.
The project to establish the program (both the build-out of the
space and the start-up costs) is coming in at $550,000. This far exceeds
the original preliminary “guesstimates” we received of around
$400,000 (for building costs). Those figures were provided very early
on in order for us to move forward, seek permission from the Diocese
to build-out the space and establish the program, and move forward
with our plans. When we actually contacted the contractors, architect,
etc., the “real” costs became known. Furthermore, and mandated by
the State of Illinois and the Village of Hinsdale, we must also provide
a safe, up-to-code, outdoor Play Garden. Estimates to prepare the site,
secure, and install equipment are coming in at $100,000. Although
somewhat unexpected, and separate from the other costs, the Play
Garden is necessary to comply with codes.
We have received gifts from 124 parishioners, totaling $369,365.
Funds are still needed to prepare the space and provide for the
program. We need your help! We need to open the preschool in
September “debt-free” so that we can concentrate our efforts and
resources on offering a solid, first-rate, Catholic educational
experience to our children. We have a ways to go before this Heritage
project is fully funded. There are three different ways to contribute:
1. Make a direct contribution to the project.
2. Be part of the Founders Circle (to include a memorial plaque in
the Preschool). With each $5,000 contribution, families may
designate one child (in their family or another) to receive the
fixed tuition benefit. The lock-in is effective so long as that
child is a student at SIJ, pre-school through eighth grade.
3. Contribute to the Early Childhood Play Garden project to
provide the necessary, municipally mandated outdoor space for
the children in the Early Childhood Program of our School —
primarily used by children in Preschool through 1st grade. (It
would be WONDERFUL if a single donor would provide funding
for this project. With this memorial, “The Early Childhood Play
Garden” would be named in the donor’s honor).
The SIJ Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade programs will
be integrated to prepare and introduce our children to an excellent
Catholic educational experience. This invitation to support the
establishment of our preschool is for the entire parish... everyone is
invited and encouraged to take an active part in the educational
ministry of the Church, specifically through our parish day school.
We recognize that the children are not only the future, but also the
present of the Church, our parish, and society. They need our care,
our guidance, and the blessings a Catholic education can give them.
Thanks to all who have already contributed. We appreciate your
support, generosity and care for our parish, our young people, and
The Heritage of Faith that IS Saint Isaac Jogues Parish! Make
your gift or pledge to this project TODAY! Call the Rectory
Office to discuss the possibilities.
CONTACT THE GOVERNOR
Please contact Governor Rauner and politely
ask him to VETO SB 1564 the bill that
would violate the conscience rights of prolife doctors and pregnancy centers. In
essence, while they would not have to perform
abortions, they would be required to promote
abortion by explaining the “benefits” and
referring them to a doctor who would perform
the service.

The Power of Invitation
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Inviting someone to our Catholic faith is personal and critical. Most of the adults, who
have participated in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) over the years, did
so because someone they knew invited and encouraged them to attend the inquiry session
at the end of August.
Our parish needs your help -- to be aware of people you know who do not belong to the
Catholic church, and might be interested, and personally invite them.
Please encourage them and let us know who they are so we may invite them also.
Call Deacon Bill in the Office of Evangelization at 630-655-6668.
Jubilee Year of Mercy
June 5, 2016
Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Half the liturgical year 2016 is completed after
six months of extraordinary celebrations. The
Incarnation mystery: Jesus’ advent, nativity, epiphany.
The Paschal mystery: Jesus’ passion, death, resurrection, Pentecost’s Holy Spirit. The solemnities of Holy
Trinity and Jesus’ Body and Blood. Today the Church
resumes Sundays in Ordinary Time, but with a Gospel of
extraordinary mercy: Jesus raises a dead man to life.
Yet the one who benefits most from his extraordinary
mercy is not the dead son but his widowed mother.
With her
husband and only son deceased, this woman’s material
support, in that patriarchal society, had vanished. So
had her emotional support, leaving her helpless, abandoned, on society’s “peripheries.” One of Pope Francis’
hopes in calling this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of
Mercy is to transform us into more extraordinary
Christians, by making our caring outreach to just such
vulnerable people, and our practical self-sacrificing love
for them, our ordinary, daily, Christian way of life!
Bible Study in June
Jesus and the End Times
Have you ever wondered what the Bible teaches
about what will happen at the End of Time? Many
Catholics have heard about “the Rapture,” the coming of
the “Anti-christ,” and the Second Coming, but are unsure
exactly what to believe about these topics. Many
Christians are unaware that the Catholic Church has very
explicit teachings about the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the
Second Coming, and the New Creation. In this detailed
Bible study on the end times, Dr. Pitre brings clarity and
precision to the confusion that frequently surrounds the
doctrine of the end times.
