Just a Thought
November 8, 2015
It’s good to be back with the
community of Old St. Pat’s after
being gone these past two
Fr. Tom Hurley
Sundays! Thank you for allowing
me leave, as last week I traveled
with forty wonderful people to the great country
of Ireland. What an extraordinarily beautiful
place with outrageously kind and welcoming
people. Our trip was primarily focused around
the Dublin Marathon, which took place on
Monday, October 26. We then spent the next
five days seeing the sights of the Emerald Isle.
Twenty-three of our forty travelers ran the race,
representing the Crossroads Runners of Old St.
Patrick’s Church. Cold temperatures, some wind
gusts, and wet pavements (not to mention a few
more hills than we’re used to) made for a tough
terrain, but thankfully we all made it to the
finish line! My deep thanks to ALL who ran this
year, both in Chicago and Dublin, to benefit our
Outreach ministries and partners here at Old
St. Pat’s. I hope you will consider joining us next
year for the Chicago Marathon and perhaps
whatever destination race we might promote.
Stay tuned!
One of the great blessings of coming back
home to Chicago after being away was being
able to welcome a new member to our staff.
This past Monday, Old St. Pat’s was pleased to
welcome David Phillipart to our team as he
takes over as the Director of Liturgy. We are
all enthused and tremendously grateful to be
welcoming David to our church and I know that
the excitement is mutual. I have received many
accolades from other “church people” around
Chicago who are impressed that we were able
to hire an incredibly talented person such as
David. When I was in the seminary back in
the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the Archdiocese
of Chicago was at the ‘top of our game’ when
it came to liturgical expression and creativity.
‘Everyone’ around the country was looking
to our Chicago office for Divine Worship and
Liturgy Training Publications for wisdom and
insights with respect to liturgical celebrations
in the spirit of Vatican II. One of those very
2
talented teachers and wisdom figures was David
Phillipart. Having received his Masters in Liturgy
from Notre Dame and with an extensive resume
in teaching, writing, and facilitating workshops,
Old St. Pat’s is very blessed to welcome David to
our community. We are delighted he is here with
us!
The cameras have arrived! Many weeks ago I
mentioned in this publication that Old St. Pat’s is
going more digital than we are already! Having
consulted with others churches from around
the country, we have decided to “stream” one
of our Sunday liturgies online for those who
wish to join us from other places. I was told
that the equipment has arrived and will be
installed this week. The next two weeks we will
be doing some test runs with the sameras,
and will communicate the official ‘launch
date’ very soon. Out 5p.m. Mass will be the
regularly broadcasted service. So many people
have asked us throughout the years about the
possibility of having this technology available,
especially for members who have moved away
from Chicago and for those who may live in
other parts of the country for part of the year.
I am excited that we will now be able to extend
the joy and vitality of our liturgies to our sisters
and brothers who are both living abroad and
those who simply are not able to make it here on
a given Sunday. Of course, there’s nothing like
the “real” thing of being here in this incredible
sanctuary and among this great community
of faith, but I certainly hope and pray that this
new development to our mission will continue
to benefit a lot of people who want to feel
connected to Old St. Pat’s.
Have a great week ahead!

Glad and Grateful to Be
Joining You
By: David Philippart
“To you who are called, who are beloved of God,
and kept safe for Jesus Christ: May mercy,
peace, and love be yours in abundance!”
(Jude 1:1)
I’m happy and grateful to be joining you as
a new member of Old St. Patrick Church and
of your exceptional pastoral staff, serving as
liturgy director. My name is David Philippart. I
come from serving as the pastoral associate for
liturgy, Christian initiation, and new initiatives
at Ascension, Oak Park for two years. (It was a
huge job!) Before that, I was privileged to serve
the people of St. Nicholas, Evanston for seven
years as liturgy director.
Born and raised in Detroit, I went to college
in Buffalo, New York. After graduating, I
taught high school there for a few years, while
completing a master’s degree in literature at the
State University of New York at Buffalo. I was
drawn to 19th century US literature, modern
poetry, and myth criticism. In retrospect, I think
studying literature was my way of trying to study
theology without studying theology. I caved to
that call, finally studying theology at Notre Dame
during the summers, earning the Master of Arts
degree in liturgical studies in 1990. I moved to
Chicago in August of that year to work as an
editor at Liturgy Training Publications, an agency
of the archdiocese.
I’ve been drawn to liturgy since I was a child,
standing on the kneeler pinching my fingers in
the hat-clips installed every two feet or so on the
back of the pew in front of the one my family
occupied at Our Lady Gate of Heaven Church
in Detroit. I remember thinking that getting
sprinkled with holy water at the start of Mass
was the most wonderful, weird thing. A child,
I didn’t yet need to ask what this meant. That
3
question never occurred to me. The experience
just was. Now that I know that being sprinkled
with holy water as a community of the baptized
reconnects us to the mystery of who we are and
whose we are, I like it even more!
And liturgy hasn’t only nourished my personal
relationship with God and others. I’ve seen our
rites--well celebrated--change people (besides me)
and begin to transform our world. In the late
‘70s in Detroit at Gate of Heaven, I witnessed the
rites of Christian initiation and weekly Sunday
eucharist break down barriers of racism. More
recently in Evanston and in Oak Park, I have
known the power of our rites to heal wounds, to
revive those brought low, to welcome immigrants
and help us all to know that every one of us is
an immigrant in this life, on this earth. Our true
home and citizenship is in that heavenly City of
Peace, a new Jerusalem.
I experienced the power of liturgy to empower
us to work with Christ in changing the world in
a most profound way again just this past May.
Part of a delegation from the archdiocese of
Chicago to the church in El Salvador, I knelt and
prayed on the floor behind the altar in a hospital
chapel in San Salvador. There Oscar Romero
stood preparing to offer the gifts of bread and
wine on Monday, March 24, 1980 when a single
bullet pierced his heart. The day before, Palm
Sunday, in his homily, the archbishop had begged
the soldiers of his country to disobey any order to
kill unarmed civilians. For this, and for all he had
done to stand with the poor and the oppressed,
he was murdered. At Mass. This, my body. This,
my blood. Do this and remember me.
So much good happens here at Old St. Pat’s. I’m
eager to pitch in and be a part of it, a part of us!
I look forward to meeting you next Sunday if not
before, and to learn over time your own stories of
dying and rising. I can be reached at the Fr. Jack
Wall Mission Center at [email protected] or
312.648.1021. May mercy, peace, and love be
yours in abundance!
David Philippart is the new Director of Liturgy at
Old St Patrick’s Church.

New Moms, INC
After the
Transformation!
New Moms and Old St. Pat’s have shared over fifteen years of service history to young homeless moms in need.
They have moved to the West Side of Chicago in the Austin neighborhood to a new facility which houses more young
women in modest apartments. Melanie and Beth have had the pleasure of working with different teams at New
Moms to find out more about their recent transformations!
First in June, we attened their bi-annual Celebration of Transformation gathering where young moms are recognized
for meeting goals such as ongoing employment, parenting classes and skills, budgeting and healthy meal planning.
We were amazed by the energy and enthusiasm in the room. As we all know, a little bit of encouragement along with
celebration can go a long way in transforming someone’s life!
Next, Melanie and Beth attended a New Moms staff meeting where they gather on Tuesdays and pray as a team. So
next time it’s Tuesday at 2 p.m., remember that Old St. Pat’s community is being held in prayer by New Moms. We
can also pray for their needs too -- Tuesday at 2!
You can support this venture in helping young homeless women learn to be great moms by attending their fundraiser
on Thursday November, 19 or consider buying candles from their social impact business Bright Endeavors that
provides adolecent mothers with on the job training. They will be at the Solidarity Market today, Sunday November, 8.

Someone you should
know!
Melanie Sikorski
Outreach Coordinator for
New Moms, INC
If you knew me 35 years ago, the last image you would have of me was…
.”Melanie, the volunteer”. You see, I was a single parent of three children
and in all those years hence, working in the public schools and “working
on” advanced degrees, my days and nights were pretty busy. Until in my
retirement years later I met Beth Marek from OSP’s Outreach Program.
During one particular Holy Thursday service, during the Prayers of the
Faithful, she mentioned New Moms and I was hooked. The opportunity,
my abilities & background, and Beth’s invitation to the congregation came
into clear focus. I learned of New Moms, an organization successful in
empowering young mothers towards economic independence, independent
living and spiritual growth. Most importantly, the staff at New Moms enabled
young women to raise healthy, educated and emotionally safe children. One
aspect of my work in the schools was to teach mothers as young as fourteen
in a homebound setting while they recuperated after delivery. I met these
vulnerable young women and girls in the most deprived settings. At times we
would sit on the edge of the bed working the lessons as grandmother cooked
the evening meal on a hot plate. On another occasion, my student was
unable to focus on her lessons….her premature son lie in intensive care and
with no ride available, she was unable to see him. A trip to NWH preceded
any book learning.That’s why New Moms is so important and so effective.
They have broadened the scope of working with young mothers. The women
who run the organization…their philosophy….their programs all coalesce into
a healthy environment for raising children. They provide, they nourish, they
teach, they protect young mothers and their children. My new job is to help
the women of New Moms help the next generation of mothers.

C onfirmation 2015
We’re in the midst of one of my favorite times of the year
– the season of autumn and also the season of
Confirmation here at Old St. Pat’s.
Just as autumn is filled with an abundance of blessings – harvest foods, beautiful colors, thrilling sports
events – so is Confirmation filled with an abundance of blessings – a recognition of spiritual nourishment,
an array of candidates and their unique gifts, and an acceptance of a challenge.
On October 18, we gathered in the Jack Wall Mission Center to hear commissioning speeches…
testimonies… reflections… from the candidates about one of the aspects of Confirmation. Maybe why it
makes a difference to be confirmed… maybe what it means to live a life of love… maybe why they’ve chosen
to emulate a particular saint… maybe why they’ve chosen a particular sponsor… maybe the impact their
teachers or the retreat had on them. It was a beautiful morning with tender, heart-felt messages.
Those of us gathered in the room were all touched. I’d like to share some of their thoughts with you here.
CLARE MULHOLLAND:
“Confirmation, as I realized after the retreat, isn’t just
a ceremony where you get a new dress and heels, take
lots of pictures, and have a fancy brunch after. There
is so much more to Confirmation, and after a year
and a half of prep, I still don’t feel like I’ve uncovered
every last bit of it. I think it will take me my whole life
to figure it all out. One thing that especially stuck with
me from our eye-opening Confirmation Retreat was
when Terry Nelson-Johnson spoke about seeing God
and God talking to us through others. I was always
taught when you need guidance, listen for God’s
voice. I always waited for a voice to just pop into my
head and say ‘Hey it’s God. Here’s some guidance.’
Well...that never happened, and I could not figure out
why; was I not praying enough, was I too busy to hear
it? At the retreat, I realized I had been looking for God
to speak to me in all of the wrong places. I had been
looking for him in myself. I realized I should be looking
for God speaking to me and guiding me through the
actions of other people. Once I realized this, it all
made sense, and I think about that quite often.”
PIERCE INCARDONE:
“I am choosing the name Zachary for my Confirmation
name because I have a friend named Zachary who
has gone through different challenges in life -- one of
them being a disability called cerebral palsy. Zachary
inspires me because in spite of the challenges he faces
day in and day out, he never once stops smiling.
I am also picking the name Zachary because he is the
saint of peace.”
16
ANDREW HEINIG:
“It is the time for me to decide for myself that I
want to continue my Catholic faith for my life. God
has given me so much in my life and I want to give
back to Him. When I first started this process, I
wasn’t sure if I even wanted to get confirmed…
I now understand why this is so important to
my parents and after all this preparation, it is
important to me too. I feel that getting confirmed
will make my life better as I am confirming my faith
and continuing my faith into adulthood.”
GRACE KENDRICK:
“Confirmation isn’t only about me, it’s about how
I will go forward and live out the Holy Spirit and
make a difference in other’s lives, not just mine.
I enjoy doing service projects because I like helping
people in need. For Confirmation I did a variety
of projects. I baked cookies for the poor, I worked
at Feed My Starving Children, I face painted at a
fundraiser, I cleaned a forest preserve, I helped
at a school for kids with disabilities, and I worked
with teachers from my school to help set-up their
classrooms. I really enjoy doing service for others
because I know how fortunate I am and I like to
give back to others who may not have their needs
met.
I plan to continue doing service for those in need
and to live out my Catholic faith. This is what being
confirmed means to me -- not only becoming closer
to God, but living out his actions.”
C onfirmation 2015
RYAN KISSEL:
NICK LYNCH:
“I am a part of The Boy Scouts of America, so I feel
that Scouts has strengthened my leadership and
my reverence towards a greater cause. Being in
Partners on my journey through Confirmation has
also helped me do those same exact things but now
I understand their importance and purpose much
better. Boy Scouts has taught me the physical ways
to survive and Partners has taught me the spiritual
ways to survive by following God and his doings, all
to make me a better person.”
“My uncle and godfather, Andy Lynch, is such an
incredible person. He is a man of faith; a man of
fun; and most of all, a man of great sacrifice and
goodness. In 2006 he fought in Iraq and in a letter he
wrote to me, he spoke of incredible miracles. ‘I saw
bombs go off next to Marines standing less than five
feet away, and they walked away without a scratch…’
He later learned that the Little Sisters of the Poor had
prayed for him and his men every day. Uncle Andy
wrote about living a life of prayer, love, and faith. “
DARIO MANCARI:
Dario wrote about the people who impacted
his Confirmation… people who he sees God’s
goodness in:
•“I chose the Confirmation name ‘Michael’ in
honor of my Godfather Michael Basili who is a
good father & person, who has lots of love for all
of his family & friends! He is a great role model of
Jesus that I hope to be like.
•My sponsor Uncle Joe is a great uncle who
always puts family first and makes everything fun
no matter what.
•I also admire Mrs. Incardone. Ever since I met
her through the Partners Program she is always
smiling and happy. She’s a great mom and
someone I hope to be like.
•The list goes on and on. But my parents are the
ones I most admire. I see the love they have for
each other and the love they give to others. I want
to be the same way. All of these people make me
want to be closer to God.”
Through Partners and through our retreat, Nick
learned to live a life of love… a life of faith… a life
of prayer. “To truly live a life of love, you need to be
benevolent to the people you dislike, instead of just
the people you do like. “
SOPHIA DAGRES:
“On my Confirmation day, I am choosing to commit
myself to a life of love, and because of this, I have
chosen Theofani as my Confirmation name. Theofani
represents the appearance of God in love. My Yiayia,
who is named after St. Theofani, shows me the
appearance of God in her. My Yiayia has a lot of
love in her heart for her family. That is why I chose
Theofani as my Confirmation name – I want to be
like my YiaYia and be a loving presence in the life of
others.
I am committing to a life of love and kindness, and
I hope that I can be live up to the meaning of my
Confirmation name and be the ‘appearance of
God.’”
LILLIAN HOIGARD:
“For me, my sister Charlotte is that one older person that I can go to when I feel uncomfortable. If it is something
funny, she laughs at the right parts, if it is something bad that happens, she gets angry at the right people, and
if I ask her a question, she always gives the best advice. I thought it was time to be able to do something nice for
her for a change. I wrapped up the Confirmation sponsor book and put it in a box. On her birthday, I gave her
the box with the sponsor book inside. That was the way she asked her sponsor before her own Confirmation in
eighth grade. When she opened the box, no words came from her mouth. She just walked over and embraced
me in a big hug. I could tell that it meant yes.”

BECK NOLAN:
STUART PATTON VANBUSKIRK:
“Living a life of love means to have the ability to find
every positive in a negative situation. Loving you
neighbors, loving God, not letting go of what you
love no matter how bad things can get. Living a life
of love is not just loving your parents and siblings.
It’s about living the life God blesses you with. He
blessed you with this life because he loves you. God
loves us, and he wants us pass his love onto others
and make sure everyone knows God loves them. My
Confirmation name is George – the saint of courage
and wisdom. My Grandpa George who passed away
in 2013 was always full of wisdom, and he was the
most courageous man ever. He faced cancer with
courage. He may be gone physically, but he will never
be forgotten.”
“I have always thought being Catholic is a good fit for
me. And it’s kinda cool that Catholicism is all over. I
like that idea of being part of something bigger.
MAGGIE SIMPSON:
“I now see Confirmation as a chance to be close to
someone who has always and will always be in my
life – God. This is my way of telling God, ‘Here I am.
I’m listening. I’m learning. I’m trusting you. I’m
here and I want to be.’ I’m not the same kid that I
was when my parents had to drag me out of bed. I
now want to be part of this. I no longer want to just
barely be breathing and call it a life. I want to make
a difference in the world and it all starts here.
God loves me, and Confirmation is my way of saying,
‘Right back at you. I love you, too.’”
KATHERINE WILLIAMS:
“For my saint name for Confirmation, I chose Saint
Therese who is known for her simple actions and her
“little way” of honoring God and her deep love for
Catholic life. She once said that what matters in life
is not great deeds, but great love. Love was her key
to holiness and religion. Her spirituality is doing the
ordinary with extraordinary love and faith.
This is applicable to all of us, including me. Being
Catholic is about weaving God into your everyday life,
and incorporating him into your actions. Doing simple
things that honor God like saying a quick prayer
when your friend is sick can bring you closer to God
and strengthen your relationship with God. I have
chosen to do those kinds of things every day after
Confirmation.”
18
It ends up I really enjoy doing these things (helping
others, no matter what their religion, or views, or
problems are), and these things are part of me
choosing to be Catholic.”
MARYANN RESS:
“Confirmation is not a graduation that you sit through
to finally be over with. Instead it is an inauguration
that welcomes you to start your new life with God and
will always stay with you. I chose my sister Annette
to be my confirmation sponsor because not only do
I look up to her, and love her with all my heart, but
she is a very big part of my life. My sister is heading
off to college soon, and I know that after the day we
drop her off at college, I will be sitting in her room,
remembering all the times we spent together, and
I want one of those times to be her hand on my
shoulder at my Confirmation. “
NICK WILLIAMS:
“I’ll be honest, when I first started the process of
getting confirmed, I wasn’t very passionate about
it. Terry Nelson Johnson said many times that you
have to want to get confirmed. This is something
that you don’t do because your parents want you
to. You should do this because you want to. He said,
‘I hope one of you comes out of this retreat feeling
more engaged and excited about getting confirmed.’
I strongly believe that I was that kid. I am now ready
to leap headfirst into Confirmation and am so excited
and a little nervous to get confirmed.
Terry also said that getting confirmed means to live
a life of love. You have to be generous, sacrificial and
a part of you has to die. During the retreat, Terry told
us the story of a Halloween when at 7 years old, he
had carved his own pumpkin. Later that evening, he
discovered that his pumpkin, ‘Toothman,’ had been
smashed on the ground. Terry’s older brother decided
to comfort Terry instead of going out with his friends
that night. The part of Terry’s brother that wanted
to go with his friends had to be sacrificed and die
so he could comfort Terry. Terry’s brother lived out
Confirmation in a way just by performing this act.

Mindfulness: A Rememberance of Gratitude and Joy...
When: Thursday,
November 12
As we apporach Thanksgiving, how might the Spiritual Practice of
Mindfulness awaken in us a remembering of Gratitude and Joy?
6:30-8:30 p.m.
Mindfulness is the awarness that develips when we pay attention on
purpose, in the present moment, without judgement, to the way things
are.
Location:
Fr. Jack Wall Mission
Center
We live in a fast paced world, with the power of habit driven behaviour,
often robbing us of peace. We can miss being grateful for the very
things that bring joy. The question is: How do we “wake up our life”?
711 West Monroe, 2nd
Floor #25 ABC
There is a natual development of gratitude and joy as we become
aware of the inner resources already present within us. Mindfulness
allows us to choose “how” we want to go through life, rather than being
a prisoner to life’s circumstances. The Pause of Mindfulness can refresh,
renew, and enliven our lives.
Registration: $25 per
person. Registration
is onsite the evening
of the program, and is
open to all.

Do you find yourself constantly struggling to find the time to pray? Is life so busy that spending
time with God seems like a luxury out of your reach? When you do take the time to pray, do you
find that your mind “races” with thoughts about the past, present, or future? If so, the journey of
contemplative prayer may be just for you. Come to learn about and practice the gift of Christian
meditation, and experience how this ancient discipline may lead you to a deeper understanding
of yourself and ultimately strengthen your relationship with God.

Many rich people put in large sums. 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.” - Mk 12:41c, 43-44

St. Frances
Xavier Cabrini
(1850-1917)
Frances Xavier Cabrini became a U.S. citizen
in 1909. Later, she was the first United States
citizen to be canonized.
The religious order that educated Frances to
be a teacher refused her admission to the
order. So, Frances began charitable work
at the house of Providence Orphanage in
Cadogno, Italy. There, in 1877, she took her
vows and the religious habit of the order. The
bishop closed the orphanage in 1880 and he
named Frances prioress of the missionary
Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
Since her early childhood in Italy, Frances
wanted to be a missionary in China but, at
the urging of Pope Leo XIII, Frances went west
instead of east. She traveled with six sisters to
New York City to work with the thousands of
Italian immigrants living there.
She found disappointment and difficulties
with every step. When she arrived in New
York City, the house intended to be her first
orphanage in the United States was not
available. The archbishop advised her to
return to Italy. But Frances departed from
the archbishop’s residence all the more
determined to establish that orphanage. And
she did.
Filled with a deep trust in God and endowed
with a wonderful administrative ability, this
remarkable woman founded 67 institutions
over the next 35 years. She dedicated
these institutions to caring for the poor, the
abandoned, the uneducated and the sick.
Seeing great need among Italian immigrants
who were losing their faith, she organized
schools and adult education classes.
Mother Cabrini died on December 22, 1917
in Columbus Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.
At the time her institutions were located in
England, France, Spain, the United States,
and South America. In 1946, she became the
first American citizen to be canonized when
she was elevated to sainthood by Pope Pius
XII. St. Frances is the patroness of immigrants.
As a child, she was always frightened of water,
unable to overcome her fear of drowning.
Yet, despite this fear, she traveled across the
Atlantic Ocean more than 30 times.
