Come and Celebrate
On August 27, 2016, twenty-nine men from all parts of the Diocese of Joliet will receive the Rite of Ordination to
the Permanent Diaconate by Bishop Daniel Conlon. These 29 men are from as far north as St. Walters Parish in
Roselle and as far south as Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Gibson City. Of these 29 men, we are proud and
excited that four are members of St. Elizabeth Seton. They are: Gerard Erickson, Steven Hill, Robert Larkin and
John Ripoll. Certainly we are grateful and excited to have these four men Ordained and assigned here at St.
Elizabeth Seton Parish. In recognition for their achievement and hard work, there will be an opportunity to greet
them after all Masses August 27 and 28. All are encouraged to come and thank them for all of their hard work
and perseverance in the lower level.
To get to this point required significant effort, perseverance and yes even some hardships. The road has been
long with many bumps along the way. To fully understand and appreciate their journey, one has only to look
over the path they have walked. In September of 2011 applications were first accepted to enter Diaconate
Formation. The process included not only the support of their pastor, but also a long series of interviews with the
men and their wives as well as three letters of recommendation. Additionally, a psychological evaluation of the
applicant and his wife was required. Of the 50+ applications received, only 30 men were initially invited to enter
a year of Aspirancy. Shortly after the Aspirancy year started, one man had to voluntarily withdraw. This left the
remaining 29 men who will be Ordained on August 27th.
Since all classes were held at the Blanchette Center in Crest Hill, this meant that over the past four years they
have made a minimum of 468 trips to and from the Blanchette Center. This, of course is in addition to all the
other things going in their lives, such as their families, jobs and everything else that goes on in busy lives. We
recognize this perseverance as amazing dedication not only in consideration of our four parishioners, but also
especially in consideration of the one individual who made these trips to and from Gibson City, the southernmost
Parish in the Diocese each week as well.
As you might imagine, the classmates have formed a special bond over the past four years. They initially came
together as strangers or at best casual acquaintances. They leave Formation as a family. Since these four men
are part of our Parish family, we invite you to keep them in your prayers for the success of their anticipated
service to the Lord, our parish, our community and wherever the Lord leads them.
Come and celebrate with them as we honor these four men after all Masses August 27 and 28 in the lower level.

Children’s Adoration
CHILDREN and PARENTS are invited to the
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel whenever
they can stop in for a visit. On the First Sunday of
each month, from 4 to 5 PM, there is a special hour
of adoration that is for children and their parents. It
is so important that our children spend quiet time
with Jesus which can help them develop a solid
relationship with the Son of God! Jesus wants His
Little Children to know Him so well that they can
start their morning prayer by saying, “Good morning,
Jesus, hope you had a good night. What are you
doing today?” If your child can speak to Jesus like
this, they are off to a good start! And if they can
actually hear His reply with the ears of their hearts,
the parents won’t have to worry about their little
ones and not-so-little ones at all.
Questions about adoration?
Call Barb Brock (630) 335-7704
Do you have a special
rosary that needs minor repair?
Please bring your broken rosary to the Welcome
Desk and leave it in one of the special envelopes.
Someone will pick them up and return them in a
few weeks. Be sure to label the envelope with
your name, phone number/email and what needs
to be done to the rosary.
PLEASE NOTE:
•
•
This is intended for rosaries made with chain
(knotted rosaries cannot be repaired).
If there are missing beads, please attempt to locate
new matching beads first and include them. We can
replace any of broken or metal parts.

Marriage Help
Stress in Your Marriage?
Retrouvaille is a program for married
couples that feel bored, disillusioned,
frustrated, or angry in their marriage.
Some experience coldness. Others
experience conflict in their relationship.
Most don’t know how to change the
situation or even communicate with their
spouse about it. This program has helped
10’s of 1000’s of couples experiencing difficulties in
their marriage. For confidential information about or
to register for the September program beginning with
a weekend on September 9 – 11 call 815-246-2080 or
email: [email protected] or visit the
website at http://www.HelpOurMarriage.com
Lighthouse Catholic Media
We ask for a donation of $4.00/book, $3.00/CD,
$2.00/booklet and $0.50/pamphlet
so that we may continue this program.
It's profound to consider what hangs in the balance
when we share our faith with others. Patrick Madrid,
in his highly engaging manner, speaks from a
lifetime of experience to help Catholics effectively
share the truth about Christ and his Church whenever
the opportunity arises.
Parishioner Comments:
Patrick's talk encouraged me to share my faith with
others on a daily basis.
Janet - Ottawa, ON
Fantastic! This message is not only relevant, but
invaluable for Catholics giving witness to the Faith
today.

Questions of the Week
First Reading: Wisdom 18:6-9
Second Reading: Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19 or 11:1-2, 8-12
Gospel Reading: Luke 12:32-48 or 12:35-40
1. Faith has been described as “a way of leaning into life.” As a disciple, in what do you place your faith? Do
you habitual actions reflect a disciple’s faith?
2. Often faith requires that we find our way through a period that seems bleak. How did you witness to others
at a time in your life when it was your faith that sustained you and led you to a better place?
3. The news of the day can lead disciples to think that our efforts at working for peace and justice or for
helping the poor are futile. This week, how will you be faithful to working to promote peace and justice
even when the promises of the Kingdom seem obscured?
SES Hospitality

St. Elizabeth Seton’s
The service has become a special tradition at St.

expression of our claim to be a welcoming,
hospitable, faith community.

ST. VINCENT de PAUL
ASSISTANCE NEEDED
A gentleman has asked if anyone in
our parish needs a painter. He is
considered the working poor. He
has a job, the pay of which makes
him ineligible for public aid of any
kind – no food stamps, no section 8,
no food pantries. He is willing to work painting on
his off work hours in order to pay for any extra
expenses that he incurs. Right now his old car is in
need of repairs. (He really needs another car if
anyone happens to have an extra.)
In the past SVdP received 3 cars from generous
parishioners (our angels) who helped 3 clients
overcome transportation obstacles so they could get
to their jobs.
This gentleman is asking for work
– any painting job he can do to put
his car in working order so he can
get to his toll booth job. A good
car would be an added bonus.
Special Appeal - St. Raphael
St. Raphael Catholic Church of Naperville is currently
accepting applications for funds to be used for
organizations in ministry. The Special Appeal is an
annual collection held during the Advent season and
traditionally given to deserving ministries outside the
parish. Funding is made available for not-for-profit
groups such as, church ministries, social agencies, peace
and justice organizations. The one-time grant is intended
to be used as seed money for a new program, rather than
for maintenance of existing programs. In the past, Special
Appeal collections have averaged $15,000-$21,000. A
committee of parishioners of St. Raphael Church will
select the Special Appeal recipient. To qualify, the
ministry applying must fit the criteria established by the
committee.
Applications must be postmarked by
Saturday, September 3, 2016
