A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
I hope you enjoy our Ministry Fair this weekend. It is a great chance to check out where
you want to get involved.
Last Sunday, the FIESTA was a HUGE success.
It was so beautiful to see our parish together
having fun and eating such tremendous food.
I was very touched to watch Gene Seaver sit
back and enjoy the day. Gene and his wife,
Pat, were key in getting the Spanish-speaking
community off the ground here at Holy
Apostles. He is known as “El Hombre Guapo,”
which means, “handsome man.”
What a beautiful day we had! Thanks to all
who came out. Thank you to all the people
who made this day happen. Thanks to Fr.
Rubén for his servant leadership. The highlight of my day was when one of our Englishspeaking parishioners said to me that they
could have not done it without the help of
these two Mexican ladies and then said that
he now knows what I mean about the
vibrancy of our Mexican people. It doesn’t
get any better than that.
Have a Blessed Week!
Father Paul
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR:
All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the
grieving, the imprisoned, and the physically and emotionally ill.

Your Gifts Help SVdPS Provide Assistance
This summer, our neighbors in need continue to ask for
food as one of their primary needs. These neighbors are
often hard-working individuals who are trying to support
their families with minimum-wage
jobs. Some are providing room and
board to extended family while
others are striving to work while
battling devastating illnesses. The
faces are unique, but their need
for nourishment for their bodies and spirits remain
constant. Thank you for your prayers for our neighbors in
need as well as your generosity to the Poor Box.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I
was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a
stranger and you invited me in. Matthew 25:35
Hope Takes Action Workshop Offered
‘Hope Takes Action’, a program of the Society of St Vincent

We are looking for compassionate
people willing to mentor the
‘Getting Ahead’ graduates as they transition out of poverty. Mentors ‘walk’ with and offer friendship as the graduates implement their personal plan to succeed. Mentors
DO NOT support the graduates financially. Please consider being a mentor to those needing a hand up while they
strive to get out of poverty. Our next mentor training will

Mary Church, McHenry. For information visit hopetakesaction.net or call Bill Meath at 815-385-3251.

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
GRACIAS, MUCHAS GRACIAS
A todas las personas que participaron el domingo
pasado en el Summer Fest. Fue
una convivencia familiar muy
bonita donde todos nos divertimos,
que Dios bendiga su generosidad.
Gracias en nombre del padre Paul,
y el padre Ruben. Bendiciones,
muchas bendiciones. Gracias a
todos los que donaron su Tiempo, Talento, y Tesoro.
Viviendo el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia.
¿Cuál fue el primer Año Santo de la historia?
El primer Año Jubilar de la historia, con el perdón general de todos los pecados, tuvo lugar en el 1300 por
iniciativa del Papa Bonifacio VIII. La idea era celebrarlo
cada 50 años, siguiendo la antigua costumbre judía,
pero después se pasó a convocarlos cada 25 años
para asegurar que tenga lugar una vez para cada generación.
¿Qué significa una indulgencia plenaria?
Lo esencial del jubileo es pedir perdón a Dios y perdonar a los demás.
La indulgencia
que se gana al
cruzar la puerta
santa limpia las
huellas que dejan en el alma y
en la conducta
los pecados ya
perdonados en la confesión. La devuelve al estado
original.
¿Qué es una puerta santa?
Cada una de las cuatro basílicas de Roma tiene una
puerta santa, que normalmente se sella desde el interior para que no se pueda abrir. Las puertas santas
sólo se abren durante el año del Jubileo para que los
peregrinos puedan entrar a través de ellas y ganar la
indulgencia plenaria vinculada al Jubileo.
El rito de la apertura de la Puerta Santa pretende ilustrar simbólicamente que a los fieles de la Iglesia se les
ofrece un «camino extraordinario» hacia la salvación
durante el tiempo del Jubileo.
¿Cuáles son las condiciones para conseguir la indulgencia plenaria?
Los requisitos son: peregrinación a la puerta santa,
sacramentos de la confesión y Eucaristía, rezo del Credo y una oración por el Papa.
¿Es necesario peregrinar a Roma?
No. El próximo domingo, cada obispo abrirá la puerta
santa de la catedral de su diócesis, en el primer jubileo que permite ganar las indulgencias en miles de
lugares del mundo entero.
21 Agusto, 2016
¿Qué pasa con los enfermos y los presos?
Las personas enfermas o impedidas podrán ganar la indulgencia en sus casas, y los
presos–que–cruzando la
puerta de su celda.
¿Qué pasa con los pecados
muy graves como el aborto?
Durante el Año Jubilar, todos
los sacerdotes podrán perdonar el pecado de aborto, reservado habitualmente al
obispo por su especial gravedad. Cometen ese pecado no
solo la mujer embarazada,
sino también todas las personas –médicos, asistentes,
gestores de clínicas especializadas, etc.– que llevan a cabo materialmente ese procedimiento o lo provocan.
