Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the Pastors Desk...
www.stedna.org/pastorsmessage
This weekend we welcome Joan Stopka and Anna Mayer who, will be
speaking at all of the Masses on behalf of their organization – Taller de
José (Joseph’s Workshop). Their organization has been recommended
to us from the Archdiocesan Mission Office as part of the Annual
Summer Mission Appeal that takes place in all parishes throughout the
summer months. The 2nd Collection today will be taken up to support
their efforts. Please be generous.
***************
Perhaps you have heard the recent news that Very Rev. Bob Barron,
rector of the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary, has been appointed as
an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California. On behalf of our parish
community, I congratulate him on his new assignment and wish him much happiness and
success as he takes on the even more challenging role of Auxiliary Bishop in Los Angeles.
As you know Bishop-elect Robert Barron is well known for a number of film projects that
have become very popular world-wide. In particular the “Catholicism Series” and more
recently – “CATHOLICISM - The New Evangelization”.
***************
I recently received the following information that I thought might be of interest to some of our
parents who are Catholic school employees and who might have high-school aged children:
Saint Viator to Offer Significant
Tuition Discount to Catholic Educators
Members of the Board of Trustees of Saint Viator High School agreed on a new policy at
their April meeting, intended to make a Catholic school education more accessible for one of
its most loyal constituents: Catholic school employees.
On Tuesday, trustees approved awarding up to a half tuition discount for the children of full
time Catholic school and parish educators working in local parishes and schools. The
discount will go into effect the next academic year.
“The tuition discount reflects our desire to reward people who devote themselves to Catholic
education and thus are choosing careers that make less money,” said President Fr. Corey
Brost, C.S.V. “This is what it means to be Catholic. We take care of each other.”
Catholic school educators would receive an automatic discount on their tuition bill,
depending on their years of service.

August 2, 2015
From the Pastors Desk...
www.stedna.org/pastorsmessage
Those with between one and two years of full-time employment would receive a 25 percent
discount, while those with three to four years of full-time employment would receive a 33
percent discount. Those with five or more years of full-time employment would receive a 50
percent reduction in tuition cost, right off the top.
Together with the associates, brothers and priests of the Viatorian Community, trustees are
driven to ensuring parents that students receive a quality Catholic education that integrates
faith formation with academic excellence.
For more information, contact President Fr. Corey Brost, CSV, at 847-392-4050 ext. 230 or
[email protected]
***************
Although it’s still a little early, I’d like to encourage everyone in our parish to consider joining
with your own family/friends/neighbors, as well as your fellow parishioners, for our upcoming
Trivia Night here at St. Edna on Saturday night, September 26th. If you’ve never been to an
event like this, I can assure you it is a lot of fun. You don’t have to be a genius, because in
reality, every one of us has some of that trivial knowledge that someone else doesn’t. I know
I’m looking forward to this night and hope that you, too, will be marking your calendars for
Saturday, September 26th, and planning on joining us for a great time. This will be one of the
last opportunities that is part of our parish’s 50th Anniversary celebration events. Hope to see
you there for a good time!
Have a great week!

CENSUS INFORMATION UPDATES
Recently we began the process of updating our parish census information. Many of you may
have already received information in the mail asking for information so that we may update and
correct our database. It is extremely important to have accurate contact and sacramental
information for all of our parishioners! If you have not yet had an opportunity to do so, please
return the form that you received so that we can update our records accurately.
We will be
sending out information to all registered parishioners in the next few months. Thank you to those
who have taken the time to return their corrected registration form! We truly appreciate your
cooperation!

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection
August 2, 2015
Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
St. Paul advises us in his letter to the Ephesians (our Second
Reading) to “put away the old self of your former way of life…
and put on the new self.” Paul is calling for a conversion, a
change in how we live. We need to remember the first documented word that Jesus said when He began His ministry was
“Repent.” It is also crucial that we keep in mind that the original word Jesus said
was “metanoeo,” the Greek word as reported in Gospels. There are two parts to this
word: the first meta means “change,” and the second noeorefers to the mind and its
thoughts and perceptions.
Thus, what Jesus was really saying to us was “change your hearts and minds.” This
is what St. Paul is speaking about when he says we need to “put away the old self…
and put on the new self.” We are called to conversion; we are called to a change, a
transformation that puts God at the center of our lives rather than self and all that
goes with that self-centeredness.
This is the stewardship conversion to which we often make reference. This is not a
one-time conversion but an ongoing one, a daily one, perhaps even more than once
a day. That may sound impossible, but it is not if all we do and all that motivates us
is the desire to live as Jesus wants us to. It is not easy, but it is joyful and fulfilling.

Feed a body, nourish a soul
Food: healthy eating or the latest bizarre and trendy
enthusiasm of the “foodie”? Well, for the greatest
number of our sisters and brothers, bread is still the
bottom line, both literally and symbolically. Jesus may
have informed the devil that people “do not live on
bread alone,” but physical hunger must be satisfied
along with the spiritual hunger satisfied by the
nourishing Word of God. Play your part in feeding the
poor. Support a local food bank. Your work will
ultimately provide you and those you serve with
soul-enriching nourishment.

Just add gratitude to taste
Some of the happiest words in the English language
are: Time to eat! No matter how rough the path of a
given day, sitting down to a meal improves the mood
and replenishes energy. But the recharging effect of a
meal requires one simple plug-in on our end: gratitude.
The Israelites in the desert didn’t appreciate the steady
diet of manna that literally saved their lives. Instead
they groused and compared it to the fare they had back
in Egypt. Bring gratitude to every table, and bon
appétit!

violent controversy. The Greek word for the latter title
is Theotokos, God-Bearer. Saint Francis of Assisi saw
each of us as “bearers of Christ within,” whose duty is
to bring Christ to birth daily in our world. In honor of
the Mother of God, work to bring Christ to life each
day with simple acts of love and forgiveness.

Out of the clear blue
Transfiguration is a moment when everything changes.
It might be the moment you receive a diagnosis of
cancer. A phone call in the middle of the night bringing
news of a sudden death. A truck that careens out of
control on the highway . . . or a bomb dropped out of
the clear blue summer sky on an August Monday
morning. Hiroshima was a tragedy, as has been all war
violence before or since. How about we work on a new
transfiguration—to a world where violence is left
behind and peace reigns?

Open your heart to those in need
Saint Cajetan is the beloved patron of Argentina,
especially of that country’s poor and those seeking
decent employment. He was familiar with the world of
high finance and founded the Bank of Naples in the
16th century to offer the poor an alternative to loan
sharks who preyed upon them. Argentinian Pope
Francis consistently urges us to help the poor, perhaps
not by founding a bank but neither by simply writing a
check. The Holy Father says we must engage with poor
people, look them in the eye, and touch them, and then
together go out to meet and help those who are in
greater need, because there is always someone in
greater need: “Your heart will begin to enlarge, to
enlarge, to enlarge! . . . Do it!”

Say hello to a priest today
To the sophisticated of the 21st century, Saint John
Vianney can seem a funny, well-intentioned but
bumbling Catholic antique. But his commitment,
especially to those seeking forgiveness and
reconciliation, was anything but antiquated, and he
continues to inspire. We can forgive his overzealous
threat to withhold absolution from penitents who
refused to give up dancing (!) and celebrate parish
priests, who—like Saint John—place the good of their
parishioners and their growth in holiness above all else.
