Rev. Gregor Gorsic, Pastor
(815) 886-4165 ext. 317
My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
Andrew must have gotten on his brother’s nerves one day, because St. Peter came up to Jesus and
asked, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” And Jesus
answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times” (Mt 18,22-23). “Wow!” Peter must have thought.
Life and family give us so many opportunities to show our love, and forgiveness is one of
the deepest and most powerful forms of love we can show. God reveals His merciful love
in the burning Heart of Jesus. Forgiveness is the heart of Jesus’ love for us, and He taught
us to ask God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, for
“if you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if
you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions”
(Mt 6,14-15). Wow! How important it is for us to forgive!
In this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, God shows us that forgiveness leads
to peace. In today’s Gospel, the sinful woman heard that Jesus was visiting a prominent
Pharisee in town, so she went to show her love and appreciation for the work and message
of God’s forgiveness which Jesus preached and shared — for everyone, she must have
heard, including herself! “God forgives me,” she heard the message in her heart. And so
she showed how much that forgiveness from God in Jesus meant to her, she washed and
anointed the feet of Jesus, using her tears, hair, and oil she brought Him. Then she heard Jesus say “Your sins are
forgiven...Go in peace.” In your circle of family and friends, who needs to forgive you? And whom do you need to
forgive? The Heart of Jesus reveals to us God’s loving mercy. Let the works of mercy and forgiveness fill our hearts
today and always!
On a personal note, please read Deacon Jerry’s letter below. I am very grateful for his continuing presence
and prayers with us! Although he will no longer be as regularly visible on the altar at our Sunday Masses, he and
Mary Ann continue to participate with their prayers and volunteerism in so many other ways. Thank you for your
faithful love and service to our St. Andrew the Apostle Parish family. May God’s blessings continue to fill your
lives and be given to you full measure, flowing over, hundredfold!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Gregor
Dear Parish Family,
By now you are probably wondering why I haven’t been
serving on the altar for the past several months. As you know, last
July I had an accident while riding my bicycle. That fall contributed to
some of my health problems which I already had. As a result, I am
unable to do most of my deacon duties.
My wife Mary Ann and I registered here at St. Andrew’s in
October of 1962, so we have had a long history here. Our three sons
attended school and received most of their sacraments here. Mary Ann
was parish secretary for several years and still does volunteer work
here.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as one of your deacons for the past twelve and a half years. I
especially want to thank Father Gregor for all his kindness and support. Thank you also to Father Michael, Father
Jacob and my brother deacons for all their help and concern.
I will still be around and I am willing to help you in any way I can. Be assured you will always be in my
prayers and I ask you to pray for my family and me. May God continue to bless you always.
Deacon Jerry

Our helpline 815-886-4165 ext. 304
All calls are confidential with callbacks within 24 hours.
As we hear the Gospel today we realize that sometimes we are like Simon as it’s far easier to see what is wrong
in another than it is to see what is wrong in ourselves. But Jesus, who accepts the poor woman without judging
or blaming her, shows us what Christian love is all about.
Please do not hesitate to call our helpline if you or someone you know needs temporary assistance.

Take what we bring now and give what we need, all done in His name.”
With Gratitude
What a beautiful Easter season we celebrated! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped decorate the church
throughout Lent, Holy Week and Easter. You put in some late hours; and our church looked spectacular. To all the
musicians who were here not only for all the celebrations, but many, many rehearsals, thank you.
Psalm 47 shouts:
“God goes up with shouts of joy.
The Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God; sing praise!
Sing praise to our king; sing praise!”
Our Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors, Ushers, Altar Servers, and Knights of Columbus worked over-time to be
sure our Masses and Services were prayerful. Thank you. We are blessed to have many Deacons to assist our priests.
We appreciate you all. Our dedicated priests always had the right words to share with us at all of our Lenten, Holy
Week, and Easter Masses and Services. They make our journey holy and help lead us to the Heavenly Father.
God bless you.

A team of 4 college-age
members will arrive to put on
this summer camp!
Please consider hosting a
dinner or a lunch for the
mission team (4 people), or
hosting 2 team members
(male/female) in your home.
WHAT IS TOTUS TUUS?
Totus Tuus is a week-long “parish
mission” for Catholic youth whereby
seminarians and college students proclaim
the Gospel and promote the Catholic faith
through evangelization, catechesis,
apologetics, Christian witness, the
sacraments, Marian devotion, Eucharistic
worship, and FUN!
Totus Tuus seeks to inspire in young
people a true longing for holiness, a deep
desire for daily conversion, and openness
to their vocation by constantly
challenging them to give themselves
entirely to Christ through Mary and by
continually strengthening their prayer
lives in imitation of Her.
TOTALLY YOURS
Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning
“totally yours,” was the motto of St. John
Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de
Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary, it
signifies our desire to give ourselves
entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands
of our Blessed Mother Mary. It also
expresses our effort to give all that we
have to every young person we encounter.
