OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH
Our Parish Mission
Founded in 1833, Old St. Mary’s parish is the first
Catholic parish in the Chicago area. Guided for
more than a century by the vision of the Paulist
Fathers, we are a diverse and welcoming community
dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of the South
Loop and greater Chicago area.
As a unified Church and School community, Old St.
Mary’s Parish promotes the mission of the Paulist
Fathers to welcome those who have been away from
the church, to build bridges of respect and
collaboration with people of diverse backgrounds
and religions, and to promote justice and healing in
our society.

Old St. Mary’s is
wheelchair accessible.
Large print missalettes are available near
the entrance. Please return them after Mass.
Special hosts are available in the
sacristy for those who are gluten
intolerant.
Do you have difficulty walking to
the front of the church for
communion?
Please ask an usher to let the communion ministers know
where you are so the ministers can bring communion to
you. Receiving the Body of Christ is too important to miss
out. The ministers do scan the congregation, so if you
forget to let an usher know, put your hand up so they can
see you. We want to accommodate you.

April 5, 2015: EASTER SUNDAY
Dear members of the OSM community,
Happy Easter! I am so happy to be
celebrating Easter with you this year for the first
time. You have been a blessing to me these
past eight months. I am also very happy that spring is here and we
can look forward to some warmer weather. Chicago is great, but the
winter weather is a challenge.

The Parish
Staff of Old
St. Mary’s
wishes
everyone a
Happy and Blessed Easter.
Easter brings two special gifts with it this year. First, during the Easter
season we will be completing our Parish Transformation Project and
setting some pastoral goals for all of us at Old St. Mary’s to
accomplish in the next two or three years. Second, we will move
ahead with demolition of the current Pastoral Center and begin
construction of a new Pastoral Center including its large multipurpose
space which will provide us with a gymnasium! The demolition is
scheduled to begin tomorrow, Easter Monday, April 6.
We thank you for joining us in
celebration of the Resurrection
of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Construction will unavoidably result in some short-term frustrations
including a moderate reduction in available parking and some
scheduling constraints caused by our temporary loss of much of our
meeting space. But the reward of the new building’s completion and
occupancy in the New Year will more than make up for any temporary
inconvenience.
Amber Coisman
Looking further ahead, we will be hiring additional pastoral staff over
the summer so that we can expand our ministry in notable ways. The
Parish Transformation Project is helping us determine the extent and
character of that new ministry. We will be sharing information about
that a lot in the next few weeks.
Again, Happy Easter!
Sincerely,
Catholic Relief Services—Rice Bowl
We prayed, fasted and gave alms — and now we
celebrate! Our Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl
ends in our own hearts, where Jesus reigns
forever. Let us rejoice in our risen Lord—and in
the lives we’ve changed this Lent in Tanzania,
Nicaragua, Niger, Lebanon, the Democratic
Republic of Congo and all over the world!
Please return your Rice Bowls next weekend, April 11-12, 2015.
We welcome the following
new parishioners to the
Old St. Mary’s community.

GOD’S WORD TODAY
The first Easter Sunday must have been very
difficult for the apostles. They had given up
three years of their lives to follow the man they
believed to be the Messiah, only to watch him be
crucified and buried. All seemed lost. By fixating
on the events of Good Friday, they had great
difficulty understanding the message of
resurrection at first. But their eyes and hearts
were opened when Jesus spoke their names, ate
with them, and breathed on them his gift of
peace. From this moment, they were empowered
and infused with a new courage and enthusiasm.
With the gift of the Holy Spirit, they became
powerful witnesses to the message of hope and
new life. As we rejoice in the glory and power of
the Resurrection, we come to realize that the
victory of Christ over sin and death can likewise
be ours. Let us live this Easter Day with faith and
conviction, and then we will share forever in the
fullness of Christ's resurrection.

LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR
The Little Sisters of the Poor will speak briefly after communion at all of our Masses on the
weekend of April 18 and 19. The Little Sisters are a community devoted to the care of the
elderly poor. They were founded in France by St. Jeanne Jugan in 1839. Today they operate
nursing homes in many countries. In Chicago, they operate St. Mary’s Home on N. Lakewood Ave. Their visit
with us is one of a series of special events we are having at Old St. Mary’s in honor of the members of religious
communities who live and/or work near us during this Year of the Consecrated Life.

Demolition and Construction
Demolition of the old school building and current Parish Center is scheduled to begin on April 6
and will continue for approximately three weeks. Then construction of the new building will
begin immediately. Occupancy of the new building will be early in 2016.
Throughout demolition and most of construction, we will lose some spaces in the overflow
parking lot, the number varying depending on the phase of demolition/construction. Also, access by car to the remaining
parking spaces in the overflow lot will be from Wabash Avenue only. It will however, be possible to walk from the
overflow lot to the alleyway and onto the church grounds. The alleyway itself will not be blocked on weekends, however,
there will often be occasions on weekdays when “through traffic” will not be possible.
YEAR OF SACRAMENTS • ONE WORD AT A TIME
Strengthen
The very word confirm
means to strengthen or to
make stronger. Baptism
gives us new life in Christ
and makes us sons and
daughters of God in the Son,
Jesus Christ. Confirmation
strengthens us in that identity with another
outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Even more,
Confirmation makes us stronger to live out that
identity.
As we walk through this world, we often feel
pulled in many directions. There are many
forces, some good but many quite negative, that
press in on us. How will we respond? Will we feel
overwhelmed and unable to do anything? From
what can we draw the strength and courage to
make the right decisions, to stay on course, and
to follow through on our commitments?
For believers who have been confirmed in the
Holy Spirit, the answer lies in the strengthening
that is already within us. Faith alerts us to the
precious and graced resource that we carry
within ourselves.
