ST TERESA PARISH
THE PILLARS OF OUR CHURCH
PAGE 3
LOS PILARES DE LA IGLESIA
A few weeks ago, some representatives of the
four Catholic Churches of Kankakee, together
with the pastors, met and talked about the realities of our parishes. I was given the charge to
be the facilitator of the meeting, and prepared a
presentation which I called “Pillars of a Catholic
Parish.” Here are the areas of every parish that, I
reported, need to be kept healthy:
Algunas semanas atrás, algunos de los representantes de las cuatro Iglesias Católicas de
Kankakee, junto con los sacerdotes, se reunieron para hablar acerca de las realidades de
nuestras parroquias.
Me dieron el cargo de ser el facilitador de la reunión y
prepare una presentación a la cual la llame, “Los Pilares
de la Iglesia.” Aquí están las áreas de cada parroquia que
reporte que necesitaban mantenerse saludables.
1. Jesus Christ and the deposit of the faith. This is
an important responsibility of the parishioners, to
ensure that we teach the faith and we remain united
in the integrity of the teaching of the Church.
2. The Parishioners, the people who worship. We
need to be concerned about the number of people
who are still actively involved in the parish. If
there are no more people worshipping, if the people no longer help in the ministries, if the young
people are gone, and if the pews are becoming
emptier on Sundays, then these are signs of a dying
church.
3. The Priest called to serve and minister. We sometimes think that the diocese is in charge of this pillar, but if the parish does not foster vocations, and
if we do not really actively invite our children to
consider the priesthood, who will serve the parishes in the next generation? This is now an ongoing crisis in the church, and it is getting worse.
4. Stewardship, the ways and means. The contributions of parishioners make the church alive and
able to maintain its facilities and ministries. A
church that is not able to financially support the
operation of the church is on the road to its demise.
5. The Trends of the Time. The bigger culture and
the local trends in Kankakee affect the existence of
a parish church. If people are leaving the city, if
crimes are increasing, if the water of the river
washes the village, a parish would be in a critical
condition, and will not be able to sustain itself.
1. Jesucristo y el deposito de la fe. Esta es una responsabilidad importante para los feligreses, de asegurarnos
que enseñamos la fe y permanecemos unidos en la
integridad de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.
2. Los feligreses, la gente que adora. Tenemos que estar
preocupados por el número de personas que todavía
están involucrados activamente en la parroquia. Si no
hay más gente que adore, si la gente ya no ayuda en
los ministerios, si los jóvenes se han ido y las bancas
están cada vez más vacías los domingos, entonces estas son señales de una iglesia moribunda.
3. El sacerdote llamado a servir y ministrar. A veces
pensamos que la diócesis está a cargo de este pilar,
pero si la parroquia no fomenta las vocaciones, y si en
realidad no invitamos activamente a nuestros niños a
considerar el sacerdocio, ¿quien servirá a las parroquias en la próxima generación? Esta es ahora una
crisis en la iglesia que esta en marcha, y cada vez es
peor.
4. Administración, las formas y medios. Las contribuciones de los feligreses hacen que la iglesia este viva y
sea capaz de mantener sus instalaciones y ministerios.
Una iglesia que no es capaz de apoyar financieramente la operación de la iglesia está en el camino a su desaparición.
5. Las tendencias del tiempo. La cultura más grande y
las tendencias locales en Kankakee afectan a la existencia de una iglesia parroquial. Si la gente está saliendo de la ciudad, si los delitos están aumentando, si
el agua del río remueve al pueblo, una parroquia estaría en estado crítico, y no será capaz de sostenerse a sí
misma.
Each of these pillars is important, and so every parishioner of the parish has to be preoccupied in keeping
these pillars healthy and alive. It is your responsibility
to bring life to our church, if we desire for it to remain
for our children and our children’s children. We can
do it!
with fatherly affection,
Fr. Sunny Castillo
Cada uno de estos pilares es importante, por lo que todos
los feligreses de la parroquia tienen que estar preocupados
en mantener estos pilares sanos y vivos. Es su responsabilidad de dar vida a nuestra iglesia, si deseamos que continúe para nuestros hijos y los hijos de nuestros hijos.
¡Podemos hacerlo!
Con afecto paternal

RESPECT LIFE PRAYER
For those suffering from the effects of abortion:
TRAVELING VOCATION CROSS PROGRAM
That they may find peace in the love of Jesus Christ;
What is it?
We pray to the Lord
Simply, a cross is passed from one
household to another at Sunday mass. The
household receiving the cross will keep it for
one week and pray for vocations, each day as
the family gathers, (for meals, etc.).
Learn Scripture with the
Biblical Institute of the Diocese of Joliet
Two Sites Open to New Students
St. Mathew Parish (Glendale Heights) Year 1
Old Testament Foundations
Preview date Aug. 28
The purpose of the program is to remind the parish of the need for an increase in
vocations, particularly the priesthood, and to
encourage the entire parish to pray constantly
for vocations.
Sts. Peter & Paul Parish (Naperville) Year 2
New Testament Foundations
Preview dates July 1 and Aug. 22
It is our hope that this experience will
encourage all of us to pray for the gift of
vocations and that our prayer inspires young
men and women to be attentive to the movement of the Spirit within them and step forward in faith, with generous hearts, to wherever the Spirit leads them.
If you want to learn Scripture in a truly engaging manner with
a teacher from a solidly Catholic perspective, the
Biblical Institute promises you an enriching experience.

The Essential Wisdom of the Saints
Jean O’Connell
Thursday, July 10
After 8:00 am mass
Parish Office
Come say goodbye to Jean and wish her well
in her new life in Florida.
The Church teaches us that mercy belongs to
God. Let us implore Him to bestow on us the
spirit of mercy and compassion, so that we are
filled with it and may never lose it.
Only consider how much we ourselves are in
need of mercy.
St. Vincent de Paul
A note from your Nurse: Optimal Health
Health is more than the absence of disease. In other words, just because you’re not sick doesn’t mean you are healthy. Try thinking
about your health on a continuum with disease and despair at one end and optimal health at the other end. Optimal health just means
being as healthy as you can be, knowing that it will be different for each of us. Where are you on the continuum? This week evaluate
what small steps you can take toward optimal health.
