My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
In our first reading this weekend, the prophet Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall
I send? Who will go for us?” And the prophet Isaiah said: “Here I am, send me!” Almost four years ago now, our
school principal Kathy Lifka heard the call to become principal of St. Andrew the Apostle School, and I am so grateful
she also said “Here I am, send me!”
These past four years have seen great changes in our school, and Mrs. Lifka has valiantly weathered the difficult
changes and helped bring forth wonderful positive change for our students and families, especially in the areas of a more
focused concentration on our curriculum and the use of technology in our classrooms.
Below, Mrs. Lifka shares and explains her announcement that at the end of this school year, she will be retiring.
I ask for prayers for her and her family. I also seek your continued prayer and support for our St. Andrew the Apostle
School especially for these months ahead as Mrs. Lifka finishes her dedicated service with us through June and helps us
transition to a new principal for next year.
We are now beginning a new Principal Search Process through guidance by the Catholic Schools Office of our
Diocese. I will share with you in the near future more details of this process, which includes seeking any input and
suggestions from our parishioners and school families regarding a new principal.
Catholic Education continues strong in our midst because of such generous women as Mrs. Lifka, who has
dedicated so much of her life to this Catholic Education of our children. As we search for the new principal God intends
to send our way, again, I ask that you keep Mrs. Lifka and her family in your prayers for God’s abundant blessings upon
her and her whole family. St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor
Dear Parishioners,
For the past 41 years, my vocation has been in the educational field, and 31 of those years have
been dedicated to Catholic Education. However, due to family needs and health issues, I am retiring from education.
These past four years at St. Andrew the Apostle School have been quite a learning experience. I have had to
wear many hats, but I could not have done it without the support of the faculty, the staff, the parents and the
parishioners who are dedicated to the success of St. Andrew.
While I had hoped to remain at St. Andrew for a few more years, my family and my health need my full
attention. Therefore, effective July 1, 2016, I will leave St. Andrew in the capable hands of the next principal.
However, I will continue to give my full effort until that time.
St. Andrew will thrive and improve with the support of the faculty, the staff, the parents and the parishioners.
A committee will be formed to select a new principal who will continue the work to make St. Andrew School strong.
May God bless the St. Andrew community with people committed to its success.
Sincerely, Kathleen M. Lifka, Principal
Lent is almost here.
Forty special Days for
extraordinary fasting, praying, giving. We will fast to
sharpen our senses. We
will pray to focus our attention on God in Christ.
We will give up some things and give
away more things, in order to give
ourselves over to a Christian life of
compassion and mercy.
This Lent, I want to….
This Lent, I need to….
This Lent. These days. This time.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!
“Holy, holy, holy!” Ancient languages, like the Hebrew used in the
scriptures, did not always have a way to express superlatives in one word.
Isaiah could not say God was “holiest,” so he used the threefold repetition of
the same word. This bit of scriptural minutiae about these “three little words”
that we sing at every Mass serves as a reminder that answering God’s call has
to be grounded in awareness of God’s holiness. In Isaiah and in the Gospel
passage today, we hear accounts of the revelation of God’s power and might:
the seraphim in the temple and the miraculous catch of fish. These are not
wondrous revelations for their own sakes. They lead to a response in mission,
Isaiah’s “Here I am, send me!” and the disciples’ leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our own “Holy, Holy, Holy!” lead us to Christ in the
Eucharist every Sunday, and to a life following him day by day.

All calls are confidential with callbacks within 24 hours.
In the Gospel today, Peter questioned Jesus when told to lower the nets for another catch. After a large catch
that broke the nets, Peter confessed his sinfulness when he doubted Jesus’ advice. We must look at the simple
manifestations of holiness that indicate the presence of God in our lives. May our lives be a sign of faith, hope,
love and justice to all.

LENTEN REGULATIONS
1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.
2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals,
sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another
full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are
allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.
4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and
follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a
performance of works of charity and mercy.

2016 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES ANNUAL APPEAL
Please Participate! Your Gift Makes a Difference!
This weekend at each Mass you will be asked to participate in our diocesan-wide Commitment/In-Pew
Weekend for the 2016 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA). The CMAA is much different than a one-time
special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a one-time gift or pledge your gift over ten (10) months
to support the good works of the diocese.
A gift to the CMAA will touch the lives of many in our diocese in a positive way. Each gift makes a
difference! Together, the gifts of many enable our diocese to deliver needed education, ministry and services to those
who need it most. As you take the time to review the tabloid and see all the work enabled by the CMAA, please reflect
on God’s gifts to you. He has given you all that you have. We were “Chosen by God’s Grace” and together we can give
thanks to Him for our blessings through a gift to the CMAA.
If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it or bring it to Mass next weekend.
For those of you who have not received the mailing, we will conduct our Commitment/In-Pew Weekend process at all
Masses next weekend.
For those of you who were unable to make a decision about your commitment this weekend, please prayerfully
consider doing so online at jolietdioceseappeal.org or by returning a Commitment/In-Pew Weekend envelope to the
parish next week. If you received a pledge form in the mail, you may return it via mail.
After our parish exceeds its CMAA goal of $72,995 in paid pledges, 65% of any additional funds are returned
for use in our parish. Thank you for your prayerful

V NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
WIELKI POST
W środę popielcową, rozpoczyna się w Kościele
czterdziestodniowy czas Wielkiego Postu. Główne
przesłanie tego okresu koncentruje się na duchowym
przygotowaniu chrześcijan do godnego przeżywania świąt
Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego, największych świąt
chrześcijaństwa związanych z wydarzeniami męki śmierci i
zmartwychwstania (Paschy) Chrystusa; wydarzeniami, które
stanowią fundament Kościoła i naszej wiary. Ponieważ są to
najważniejsze święta (zwane też paschalnymi), dlatego
domagają się specjalnego przygotowania, by móc je
należycie przeżyć.
Ogólna: Abyśmy opiekowali się światem
stworzonym, który otrzymaliśmy jako
bezinteresowny dar, żeby go pielęgnować i
chronić dla przyszłych pokoleń.
Ewangelizacyjna: Aby wzrastały szanse na
dialog i spotkanie wiary chrześcijańskiej i ludów
Azji.
Środa Popielcowa, msza święta w języku
polskim o godzinie 7:30 w parafialnym hall.
Zapraszamy!!!
Parafialna: Prośmy Pana aby przeżycie
wielkiego postu pogłębiło w nas wiarę i
doprowadziło do radości Zmartwychwstania

¡Favor de Participar!
¡Su donación hace la diferencia!
Esta semana, se le pide revisar el tabloide de La Campaña
Anual para los Ministerios Catolicos de 2016 (CAMC) que recibió con su boletín de hoy. La CAMC es mucho diferente de una
colección especial de una sola vez. Es un compromiso de
campaña donde puedes hacer una donación una sola vez o comprometer un regalo durante 10 meses para apoyar las buenas
obras de la diócesis.
Un regalo para la CAMC tocará la vida de muchos en nuestra
diócesis de una manera positiva. ¡Cada regalo hace una deferencia! Juntos, los regalos de muchos permiten a nuestra diócesis
entregar servicios necesitados de educación, Ministerio y a
quienes lo necesitan más. Mientras que tomas el tiempo para
revisar el tabloide y ver todo el trabajo de la CAMC, por favor
reflexiona sobre el regalo de Dios. Él te ha dado todo lo que
tienes. Fuimos "Elegidos por la Gracia de Dios" y juntos podemos dar gracias a El por nuestras bendiciones a través de un
regalo a la CAMC.
Mientras revisa el trabajo permitido por su contribución a la
CAMC, por favor reflexiona sobre los dones de Dios a ti. Él te
ha dado todo lo que tienes. Los regalos a nuestra parroquia a la
diócesis y al trabajo de la iglesia en todo el mundo se deben dar
en agradecimiento por los continuos regalos que Dios te da.
Dios extiende su misericordia para nosotros cada día, y tu puede
ser una parte de la "misericordia de Dios" a los demás a través
de la CAMC.
Si usted recibió el formulario de compromiso en el correo, favor
de completarla y enviarla por correo o traer a la Misa del próximo fin de semana. Para aquellos de ustedes que no han recibido
el envio, llevaremos a cabo nuestro Fin de Semana de Compromiso/Solicitud en las Bancas en todas las Misas el próximo fin

A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT
SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION
CATECHUMENATE
The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those
adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight
into the Christian faith.
BAPTISM OF CHILDREN
We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian
households which are joined to our weekly worship, and
have active registration in our parish community for at least
3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an
Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in
the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date.
Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month
at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the
third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.
EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION
Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord
as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith
Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year
process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith
Formation Office for more information.

Look upon our brothers and sisters who are ill, in the midst of
illness and pain, may they be united with Christ, who heals both
body and soul; may they know the consolation promised to
those who suffer and be fully restored to wellness and
wholeness. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
