Solidarity Market
Sunday, November 11 | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
More than thirty different vendors will display beautiful and unique products created by artisans from
as far away as East Africa and Central America to as near as the West Side of Chicago, such as one of
our new vendors World Shoppe.
And while this “alternative market” offers us a chance to get an early start on holiday shopping, the
Solidarity Market is so much more than another holiday craft fair. The Solidarity Market at Old St. Pat’s
is another expression of our desire for kinship along with our desire to promote, whenever we are able,
the economic development of our sisters and brothers throughout the world.
Please stop by the Church Hall and meet these remarkable people and learn about their efforts to
create a better world!
Refreshments, of course, will be served.
Today’s Awakenings article, reprinted from the November 2012 issue of U.S. Catholic, highlights the
work of Megy Karydes, the founder of World Shoppe, and one of the vendors you will encounter at the
Solidarity Market.
Lives of Import
By Megy Karydes, founder of World Shoppe, a fair trade online retailer and wholesaler (www.World-Shoppe.com).
Her collections from South Africa and Pakistan can be found in more than 100 stores nationwide.
Armed with four security personnel, you would
think I’d feel safe. Instead, I feel like a sitting duck,
waiting in the backseat of a Toyota and watching
as two of my security guards try to talk their way
onto a military base in Pakistan. Beena, the woman
I am trying to meet, lives here with her family. The
entrance is flanked with armed military hovering
over our car, checking underneath, under the hood,
and using a wand to scan for bombs.
I grow more anxious as I know the men walking
around the entrance are watching me, wondering
who I am and why I am trying to gain entry. My
driver, still in the car with me, also watches as the
guards make animated motions, looking at my U.S.
passport and making calls on their cell phones.
Finally, almost an hour and a half later, Beena and
her husband arrive at the entrance, provide us with
the clearance we need, and have our car follow
theirs to their home for our meeting.
I was one of 14 international buyers invited by
USAID to Karachi, Pakistan in 2010 to meet
women artisans and work with them on product
development, design, and pricing and to assist
them in exporting their work to the Western market.
Beena is a talented artisan who designs and
2
produces embroidered handbags, scarves, and
apparel. Our meeting was to discuss designs that
I would import into the United States for my fair
trade business, World Shoppe.
Beena is gracious, offering tea and cookies as we
take our spots sitting with legs crossed on her living
room floor. We talk about her work, her artisans,
Megy Karydes (World Shoppe) her designs, and her
dreams. I’m taken by her passion and her talent.
We review some of her designs and make the
decision to figure out a way to work together soon
after I return to the United States.
After our meeting ends, I am shuffled back quickly,
as if I’m catching a getaway car. I glance outside
the tinted window; the landscape is bare. A plume
of dirt flies up as we drive. Mopeds drive alongside
us with children as young as two holding on to the
front bars for dear life.
If women are along for the ride—and I see very few
women outside in general—they are always sitting
sideways since their long coverings don’t allow
them to straddle the moped. It seems so easy for
the women and children to fall off.

Solidarity Market
Sunday, November 11 | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Pakistan still is very much
a developing country. Opportunities for employment
are low, and many women do not work because of
the culture in the country. Some, however, do work
in fields more open to women, such as the fashion
industry. Beena was one of several talented women
entrepreneurs I met in Islamabad and Karachi.
I was in awe of the people, their religion, and their
work, but as an American woman and business
owner, I struggle with some aspects of their culture.
Part of me just doesn’t understand it and doesn’t
want to accept it, especially the fact that men can
dictate if and when a woman is allowed to work or
even leave her home.
My trip made me think of how I first became aware
of women’s issues, and how I learned about the
concept of fair trade and, more importantly, the
need for tolerance.
I grew up in a traditional and strict Greek Orthodox
family but attended a Catholic school. As a girl I
was prohibited from doing a lot of things because of
my gender, including being an altar girl. That irked
me, even though I respected my family’s religious
beliefs.
Mr. Longo, my high school
religion teacher, didn’t teach religion as I would
have expected someone at an all-girls Catholic high
school to teach it. While we read portions of the
Bible and learned about scripture as expected, our
religion class was about much more than the Bible
and Mass. He used these tools to engage us as
young women to think about our lives and actions
and how they affect and impact society as a whole.
Mr. Longo taught us the importance of self-respect
and respecting others, as well as how we can
positively influence and affect others’ lives. Through
our class and club activities we organized CROP
Hunger Walks, learned about human rights abuses
through Amnesty International, and supported
women’s rights by purchasing items handmade by
women all over the world when a fair trade store set
up shop in our school’s hallways once a year.
As I learned more about women’s rights, it was
clear that women all over the world have precious
little power or say in the important decisions in their
lives, whether it is whom they will marry or whether
they are allowed to work. But I also learned in Mr.
Longo’s class and later in college that women all
over the world make significant contributions to
their families and communities despite getting little,
if any, credit.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but what I learned
from Mr. Longo’s class would lay the groundwork
for my involvement in the fair trade movement
both locally and nationally, especially in my travels
to places like South Africa and Pakistan to work
directly with women artisans.
I returned from Pakistan
energized and hopeful, just as I had felt when I
returned from South Africa.
These days you’ll find me chatting with my artisans
early in the day since it’s already afternoon or
evening in South Africa and Pakistan. Using
technology such as Skype and Facebook, we can
instant message and talk about designs, turnaround
time, and what is happening in our respective
countries. Often they will e-mail me design sketches
or photographs, and I’ll e-mail them articles on
Western design trends.
Sometimes we’ll talk about sad things, like when
one of my artisan partners lost friends in a plane
crash in Pakistan or how the country was ravaged
by severe floods. Apartheid may have ended in
South Africa but discrimination still exists, I know
from my conversations with South African artisans.
When I started World Shoppe, I didn’t set out to
save the world. But as I sat in that Toyota driving
away from Beena’s home in Karachi, I couldn’t help
but remember how often Mr. Longo reminded us
that we can change the world through our actions.
So now I think that while I may not be able to solve
every problem, I know I can make a difference for
hundreds of men, women, and especially children
through my work. And that seems fair to me.

A doption M onth
A Reflection on Adoption
In November, we commemorate Adoption Month. Today, Sunday, November 11,
we celebrate our Adoptive Families with a special Mass at 12:45 p.m..
We ask that you keep them and all adoptive families in your prayers.
In Chapter 9, verses 34 through 37, St. Mark reminds us of the importance
of welcoming children in his name.
The disciples had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the
greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to hem, “If anyone
wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child
he placed her in their midst, and putting his arms around her he said to them,
“Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever
receives me, receives not me, but the one who sent me.”
A Reflection on Adoption
Clare Hurrelbrink
People repeatedly ask us, “Why did you go to China to adopt a child?” Our response is simple,
“Because that is where our daughters were born.” We did not randomly choose to adopt
internationally when we first began thinking of adoption. You could say we were called to
travel to the place where our children were waiting for us, and that was in China. I say “our
children” with as much ease as if we had witnessed their births ourselves.
Our daughters, Lydia and Jordan, have been full of questions. One of the most frequent and
favorite subjects to talk about is how we became a family. Questions like, “How did you know
to get me?” “Where did you find me?” “If I didn’t grow in your tummy Mommy then how did I
get here?” As an adoptive parent, these are questions you prepare for and expect, but are not
sure if you are ever ready to answer them with conviction.
I was ready and excited. “God works in mysterious ways. God told us that there was a child
halfway across the world waiting for a mommy and daddy. That child was born in China to
a mommy who believed that someone else should care for her baby; someone who would
love and cherish her baby because she just couldn’t do it by herself.” Then another question
followed about where they came from. My answer was “When you grew in your mommy’s
tummy in China, you were growing in my heart at the very same time! You have a gift of two
mommies, and each one of us loves you from the depths of our hearts.
When Lydia started school, she was scared of being so far away from us during the school
day, and scared that she was left alone. From those first days of school to today, I tell her to
place her hand on her heart. “What do you feel?” I ask. “My heart is beating”, she answers.
I remind her of something I’ve told her nearly every day of her young life. God made us a
family through our hearts. Whenever she feels her heart beating, it is our love for her growing
inside of her. A simple reminder to feel her heart helps her understand just how God made us
a family. Sometimes when I look at Lydia and Jordan today, I forget that they did not grow in
my womb; they are of me, of my heart.
Our children can learn that the concept of “family” does not rest solely on biology. They can
learn that love transcends many artificial boundaries put into place by humans. They can
learn that closing one door can open another and another…
Every adoptive family has a story to tell. The Old St. Patrick’s Adoption Group provides a place
to share these stories and offers support for those considering their own journey to creating
or extending their family. We are a casual group of about 50 families, and welcome anyone
who has adopted, is thinking about adoption, or is adopted themselves.

Loving God,
Your Son has taught us that whoever
welcomes a child in his name,
welcomes Him.
We give you thanks for each of these
adopted children, whom these parents
have welcomed into their family.
Bless these families.
Confirm a lively sense of Your
presence with them and grant to
these parents patience and wisdom,
that their lives may show forth the
love of Christ as they bring up these
children to love all that is good.
Bless the adopted children and the
brothers and sisters; may they grow
in friendship and in love.
We ask You to hear the prayers of
all who desire the gift of a child.
In thanksgiving, we seek your
blessing upon the many who have assisted in the work of adoption and
therefore promote the building of
families and the uniting of hearts.
In particular, we ask your blessing on
• For all those waiting to start a
family through adoption
• For those whose families have
grown through adoption
• For those birth parents who have
shared their love
• and made a possibility for others
May almighty God,
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact Len and Mary Carnevale at thecarnevales@
sbcglobal.net.
Who has called us into the family
of Christ, fill all of our families with
grace and peace, now and for ever.
C.H.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

A Note from Santa Claus
Many years ago, an Elf was visiting Chicago and happened upon a church. It was Sunday
and people were coming from all directions carrying Christmas presents. He thought they
were bringing them to church, but each of the people stopped and put their presents in a
white truck. The Elf was confused and when he came back to the North Pole, he asked me,
why would they put presents in a white truck? I was as puzzled as the Elf. On a Sunday in
December, I flew down in my sleigh to the church. I parked the sleigh on the roof and went
to the street. The Elf was right; there were friendly smiling people, old and young, putting
presents in the white truck.
I asked a nice woman, “Why?” She said it was a celebration of people in need, and went on
to say that the people of Old St. Pat’s collected gifts for those who needed help in finding
Christmas Joy. That reminded me of a wonderful poem I have always loved.
Why God Made Friends
God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,
And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who’ll understand.
He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;
A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.
God made friends so we’ll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
Poem by Jubran Khalil Jubran, Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer.
I spent that day standing near the white pickup truck, chatting with the Old St. Pat’s members
and friends, particularly the children. It was wonderful. There are happy and generous
people at Old St. Pat’s — no grouches, no Scrooges. Everyone smiles, laughs, and shows us all
what the Joy of Christmas is about. Yes, it is about receiving presents, but more important, it
is about the Birth of Jesus and His love of those less fortunate.
Every year since that Sunday, I come back to Old St. Pat’s for the Giving Tree Celebration.
Every year I understand a little better what Jubran said in his poem
“...all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who’ll understand.”
I will be visiting Old St. Pat’s on Sunday, November 25, December 2, and December 9. I
will be the man in the red suit standing next to a orange truck.

Share the Gift of Life with Others
Most in Need
Old St. Pat’s /American Red Cross
John Buciak Blood Drive
Sunday, November 25
7:30 A.M. - 2:30 P.M.
• Did you know we can manufacture
high speed planes, GPS tools, IPhones
and paper thin computers, but we
cannot manufacture blood in a lab?
What a year!
• Did you know that YOU and your
blood donation are the only source?
A presidential election,
a hurricane, and
much more. Now the
holidays are around
the corner with
Thanksgiving coming
Mark Buciak
up soon, followed by
Advent and the Christmas Season. It
is a wonderful time of year plus it is an
extremely busy and stressful period.
Before all this madness hits full speed,
let us take time to be thankful for the
many good things God has granted us.
Here is your chance to be thankful for
your gift of life and share it with others
most in need. Perhaps you know of
family and/or friends on the East
Coast affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Certainly our prayers and checks help
the recovery efforts, but the blood
supply is at an all-time low because
many of the regular donors are busy
rebuilding their lives and there are no
faculties to donate due to the extreme
amount of damage.
We should be thankful for our God,
life, Old St. Pat’s, country, families,
friends and health. Speaking of health,
I am especially grateful to the medical
professionals at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital and the cow that
gave its life so I could live. My open
heart surgery was six years ago and
I continue to run marathons. The cow
valve keeps me running. I never knew
a cow’s valve could run 26 miles.
I am so thankful for the courage and
energy of our Crossroads Runners
who trained for so many months and
then successfully completed the Bank
of America Chicago Marathon on
October 7, 2012. Many of the runners
competed for the very first time. Their
fundraising efforts greatly supported
our Community Outreach programs
and the mission of Old St. Patrick’s
Church. They are true heroes.
Perhaps you do not run marathons,
but you could be a real hero too. Here
is your opportunity:
Our Annual Blood Drive on Sunday,
November 25!
• Did you know that 95% of the world’s
population needs blood during
8
their lifetime, but less than 3% of us
donate blood?
YES, some of the blood we collect
on Sunday, November 25 will be
shipped to the East Coast to help those
affected by the hurricane. This is a gift
that money simply cannot buy.
Please make your appointment in
advance at: www.redcrossblood.org.
If you cannot donate due to health
or travel reasons, please consider
donating your smile and time as a
Hospitality Volunteer for one or two
hours before or after attending Mass.
My father, John would tell me, “Thank
God for the gifts He has given you and
then share those gifts with others most
in need.”
Dad, your words could never be more
meaningful than today.
We hope you will join us on Sunday,
November 25. This Annual Blood
Drive could not occur at a more
demanding time to share God’s gift of
life with others.
May God bless you for your kindness.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mark Buciak
Volunteer Blood Drive Director

Every year, non-profits and service organizations are
overwhelmed by volunteers requesting to work on
Thanksgiving Day. These organizations see a huge surge in
the number of people offering their services at this time of
the year. But the reality is these programs and groups need
help throughout the year, not just on major holidays. If you
want to experience the joy of giving back while providing
an opportunity for your family and friends to learn about
social responsibility, a better choice of sharing your time
would be to volunteer during the months when volunteerism
and donations are down — usually January and during
the summer months.
In observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday, there will be no Masses
scheduled on Friday, November 23, 2012.

Remembering
Memorial Service for Those Who Have Died Homeless
Tuesday, December 18
7 p.m. Old St. Patrick’s Church
On Tuesday evening, December 18, The Ignatian Spirituality
Project and The Chicago Homeless Coalition will host a memorial
service at Old St. Pat’s for those who have died homeless.
Died homeless? Here, in Chicago? In 2012? How can that be?
A beautiful November day seems to mock the idea that people die
in the streets. All the brightly lit buildings would seem to deny that
people are without shelter every night. But we know the truth. Men
and women, beloved daughters and sons of God, live and die in the
streets of our city.
Whether it be due to unemployment, record foreclosures, or health
issues; more Americans are experiencing homelessness. Today, the
fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families,
including single mothers with their children. No one believes that
families choose a homeless lifestyle. There is nothing free and easy
about their homelessness. Homelessness is a constant struggle for
survival and in the shadow of the Magnificent Mile, countless men,
women and children are without homes and are losing the struggle
for their lives.
In this month of Remembering, might we remember those who have
lost their struggle with homelessness? Perhaps there is room in the
remembering of our lost loved ones to make a conscious effort to
awaken our compassion and to embrace the memories of those who
have died on our streets.
Next month, at the Memorial and the Candle Lighting Service we
will genuflect to the memory of those who have died alone without
a home. But even now, let us consider the incarnation through a
different lens, the lens of the homeless poor living and dying on
our streets. Even now, let us offer a prayer for those who have died
homeless and recommit to the gospel of love and justice, building the
kingdom where no one dies alone in the street.

Women and Men of Faith
Cardinal Joseph Bernardin,
Archbishop of Chicago
(1928-1996)
November 13
On August 12, 1996, Cardinal
Joseph Bernardin announced
the formation of the Catholic
Common Ground Project, an effort to address
the increasing polarization within the American
Catholic Church. He urged everyone to approach
the division between conservatives and liberals
with “fresh eyes, open minds and changed hearts”.
Throughout his life, Bernardin frequently played
the role of peacemaker, struggling to negotiate a
path to common ground.
Several weeks later, Bernardin announced to the
world that his pancreatic cancer had spread to his
liver and he had been told that he had less than a
year to live. He was characteristically forthright,
saying “I can say in all sincerity that I am at peace.
As a person of faith I see death as a friend, as the
transition from earthly life to life eternal.” So his
final journey began.
Thirty years earlier Bernardin was named a
bishop, representing a new generation of bishops
inspired by Vatican II’s spirit of collegiality and
determined to apply the gospel to questions of
public policy and the common good. In the early
1980’s, Bernardin became prominent when he
oversaw the drafting of “The Challenge of Peace”.
This pastoral letter from the National Conference
of Catholic Bishops condemned nuclear war and
criticized American military policies. He exhibited
leadership in a speech in which he enunciated a
“consistent ethic of life”. According to Bernardin,
the church’s commitment to the sacredness of
life was a “seamless garment” that integrated
opposition to abortion with opposition to capital
punishment and euthanasia, concern for peace
and social justice, and a commitment to the
poor and the most helpless persons in society.
Bernardin was named Archbishop of Chicago
in 1982 and was elevated to the College of
Cardinals.
Throughout the early 1990’s, Bernardin was a
leader in establishing procedures for addressing
cases of sexual abuse. In 1993 a young man
claimed that years earlier he had been abused
by Cardinal Bernardin. Cardinal Bernardin
vehemently denied the charge but insisted that
his case be submitted to the same process
of investigation he had established for such
allegations. He refused to impugn the man’s
character or do anything that might discourage
other victims of abuse from coming forward.
Three months later, this young man withdrew his
charges and apologized to Cardinal Bernardin.
Bernardin met privately with him and forgave him.
Throughout his final days, Bernardin received
a great outpouring of affection. His courage
and tranquility bore a powerful witness to his
faith in God and his commitment to the cause of
reconciliation.

Saints, Prophets, and Witnesses for Our Time by
