The Pastor’s Mutterings
I offer this (less than) profound observation for your consideration: there is no one in
the world who does not have a belly-button! To know that is to remember that we are not
self-made persons. Our lives were the gift of our mother and father. We were once utterly
dependent upon our mother for nourishment and protection. Even after the tie was cut we
were still far from self-sufficient. We were all born without teeth, without the ability to
walk, or talk, or earn an MBA.
Jesus used the image of a vine and branches to remind us that no one is self-sufficient.
We all need each other, and together we all need God. That’s true of babies, first
communicants, eighth graders, CEO’s, generals, presidents, parents, and priests. Jesus is
the vine and we are its various parts. Our lives are sustained through his grace, which nourish our connections to
each other.
God did not create us to be islands. To be healthy we must be in communion, have friends, and be rooted in the
network of caring believers we call the Church. From the strength of that relationship and commitment, we find the
freedom to branch out and try something new.
This weekend, the children of the St. Barnabas First Communion Class of 2015 will receive the Bread of Life
for the first time. What an exciting moment for those children and their families, as well as their teachers and our
whole parish family. We welcome them enthusiastically to the table of the Lord. May their wonderful moment of
grace remind us all of the importance of our families, our larger parish family, our interdependence as branches on
the Vine of Christ, and most of all, our need for the strength the Eucharist gives to us all.

The St. Barnabas
Annual
Breast Cancer Walk
Kick-Off Liturgy
Sunday, May 10th
6:30 am
There will be no 8:00 am liturgy
the day of the walk.
“The altar server occupies a privileged place in the liturgy, you are much more than simple helpers of the parish priest.
Above all, you are servers of Jesus Christ.” Pope John Paul II
Consider Becoming An Altar Server Today
With over 40 current members, Altar Servers represent one of the largest ministries in our Parish. Young people of St. Barnabas
School and Religious Education in grades 6th - 8th grades are invited to become altar servers.
Do you have a call to serve? Like all calls to ministry, it is God who makes the invitation.
Will you help our parish worship by being an altar server?
The altar server ministry is very important and you will be making a serious commitment to your parish family. The server is the
priest and deacon’s right hand helper. Your attention to the words and actions of the Mass will make certain that the Mass will
unfold in a smooth and prayerful manner for everyone present. A good server helps the people to pray the Mass!
The ministry of Altar Server will not just be about what you do, but it will welcome you and make you a part of a special community
of young people of our parish. Altar Servers prepare for their ministry together and new this year, they will have special
opportunities to gather socially and more.
Now is the time to be a server! Beginning in July 2015 we are adding three "F's" to the altar server experience, Faith,
Fellowship, and Fun. This will be an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
If you feel the call to take on this serious commitment, discuss your interest with your parent(s) and complete the sign up form.
Return the form to school, rectory or via the collection basket next Sunday. You can also complete this form online via the parish
website or by clicking here.
Mark Your Calendar: Altar Server Training will take place on two Thursday's: May 7th and 14th in the Convent from
3:30-5pm. Both sessions required. Door will open at 3pm. Return the form below to the rectory
ASAP. 1 Follow-up training to be held in June in groups of 5-6 at a time. Dates/Times: TBA.
For questions please call Matt Furjanic at 773-445-3450.

Spring Faith Enrichment Opportunities at St. Barnabas
This Tuesday Fr. Bill Kenneally’s Series Returns!
A HOP, SKIP AND JUMP THROUGH CHURCH HISTORY
On Tuesday mornings in May, 9:30 to 10:30 am.
Father Bill Kenneally will hold a class in the Church Hall about key moments in
the story of the church. The first session will be about the first century, the
second, the beginning of Islam, the third the Crusader and fourth the 13th
century. We will consider the key players, the conflicting cultures, the
consequences of the decisions made, and some little incident that changed the
direction of the Church. Join us for a cup of coffee and some lively conversation.
Today, Sunday May 3rd @ 3pm
in St. Barnabas Holy Spirit Chapel in Church
"We are called to acknowledge how beautiful, true and good it is to start a family, to be a family today… We are called
to make known God's magnificent plan for the family…as we accompany them amidst so many difficulties." - Pope Francis,
February 20, 2014
Beginning on May 3rd, we will have a monthly Family Rosary in the St. Barnabas Holy Spirit Chapel. Family Rosary is
an informal meeting of whole families and all members of our parish family, of all ages, to pray the rosary on Sunday
afternoons.
This is a great opportunity to simply pray or to teach your children and grandchildren to pray. All are welcome.
Wanted: A Few Good Men
We are seeking a few good men who are willing to help lead our monthly Men’s Spirituality
Group. Together men reflect on the upcoming Sundays Gospel as a small group and then have a
discussion about a video clip. Fr. Hetland began the group and we hope it will continue, but we
need a few good men to lead it. It would not be a large time commitment. Please contact
Maryellen via phone 773-429-9614or email at [email protected]. to learn
more.
House Build Mission Project Update
In 2011, 2012, and 2014 the St. Barnabas Parish family came together to build a home for
a family in need. This mission project took place right here in our parish parking lot. Over
175 men, women, and children came out to lend a hand. Today, three families have the
dignity and safety of having a home because of our parish efforts.
The cost of the project ranges between 6500-$8,000. In 2012 we struggled to reach our
donation goal. In 2013, as we worked to reach the needed goal for our portion, more
significant was that the organization who receives the home also did not have the funds to
buy the land and place the necessary foundation for our house to be placed upon. Given
this lack of funding we moved to a bi-annual project, and built the home in 2014 instead.
This year, we have collected $85.00 of the projected $6-8,000 needed. Like 2013, the
funds raised for the house build will go towards the building of a home in June 2016.
Please contact Maryellen at [email protected] or at 773-429-9614 with
any questions.

MARRIAGE MINUTE
Do your co-workers know more about your spouse than they should?
Everyone loves a good story. But the next time you are about to tell your friends or co-workers about that thing your
spouse said/did last night, stop and think for just a moment. Your co-workers or friends may not know your spouse
well, or even at all. Perhaps all they know about your spouse is what you tell them. The impression they have is the one
you create. Is an entertaining story worth hurting the feelings of the person you married?
Tom and Kyle Nine (married at St. Barnabas, June, 1986)
GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY MASS
If you or someone you know is celebrating 50 years of marriage in 2015, and would like a formal invitation from the
Archdiocese to the Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass, please call Deacon Andy and Cindy Neu at 773-779-1511.
The Mass is on August 30th at Holy Name Cathedral. Invitations will be mailed in June.

Mary, you who bore Christ, the light that illumines the earth; By that same light may we seek justice for the oppressed
and peace for all peoples, we pray.
JOIN THE CRS RESPONSE TO THE NEPAL EARTHQUAKE

CATHOLIC CHARITIES
COLLECTION ON
MOTHER’S DAY
After spending years in a Nepali
refugee camp, the Jha family
arrived here with nothing.
Catholic Charities met them at the
airport and took them in hand,
helping them learn English, find
work, enroll in school, and get
medical care. They were among
the 469 refugees we resettled
last year.
Please give to Catholic Charities
on Mother’s Day to help refugees
build a new and hopeful life.

SHARING PARISH NEWS
The St. Barnabas Choir will be on the road Sunday, May 17th to share their beautiful music with the parishioners of
Holy Family Church, our sharing parish. All St. Barnabas parishioners are invited to attend the 9:45 mass and enjoy our
choir’s music in the second oldest Catholic Church in Chicago. Holy Family is located at 1080 W. Roosevelt. There is a
parking lot just to the west of the church. Before returning to your cars after mass, please visit the “Healing Garden”
on May Street between the church and parking lot. Hope to see some of you there. For further information, please contact Cathy O'Loughlin 773-575-1444.
"The idea of a Healing Garden was brought to me by clergy abuse victims, priests and Office for the Protection of
Children and Youth staff members. They proposed the construction of a Healing Garden as a place of refuge,
prayer, reflection and solitude – a sacred space where healing resources would be available, and where God,
whose presence and goodness is most visible in nature, might help all of us on our individual paths toward healing
and reconciliation." Francis Cardinal George, OMI
