EucharisticAdoration
Thursday ~ February 4
“It is impossible to spend extended periods of time with
Christ, adoring him, thanking him and uniting our wills to
his, and not have him change our lives.” Francis Cardinal
George
ASH WEDNESDAY—FEBRUARY 10, 2016
Masses with Ashes: 7 am, 9 am, 7 pm
Prayer Services with Ashes: 12 Noon and 4:00 pm
DAILY MASS DURING LENT
We encourage the practice of Daily Mass during Lent. Even if you cannot
attend every day, perhaps you can join us once or twice a week. The Mass
schedule is as follows:
7:00 AM—Monday, Wednesday & Friday
9:00 AM—Tuesday & Thursday
8:30 AM—Saturday Morning
Beginning at 9:30 am in the
Day Chapel
Following the 9:00 am Mass
Concluding at 7:30 pm with
Benediction
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Stations are an old tradition in the Church, especially during Lent. The devotion began in the Middle Ages when Christians longed to make a pilgrimage
to the Holy Land, but found this impossible. Instead we trace the journey of
Jesus along the Way of the Cross to Calvary and Resurrection in our own
church by prayer and meditation. Stations will be on
Friday evenings at 4:00 PM & 7:00 PM in the Church.
Commitment for Eucharistic Adoration
is just one hour per month at SMV.
If you are interested, please contact
Miriam Preussner at
[email protected] or 224-628-1187
REFLECTIONS ON HOLY WEEK
The rituals of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil) are some
of the best-kept secrets of the Church’s year. What is it about these celebrations of
Holy Week that make them so unique, and how do they fit in with the better-known
liturgies of Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday? You are invited to come and learn more
about them together with facilitator Charlie Bold, a long-time parishioner and proclaimer of the Word at the 5pm Mass and the liturgies of Holy Week.
This five-part series, approximately an hour and a half per meeting, will be offered in
our chapel with opportunities for both the day people and the evening people. Morning sessions are on Thursdays at 9:45am on February 11th, 18th, 25th, and March 10th and 17th. Evening sessions are
Tuesdays at 7pm on February 16th, 23rd, March 1st, 8th and Thursday, March 17th. These sessions will include music,
prayer, and dialogue about the Holy Week readings and rituals.
Sign up in the Church Narthex on the weekend of January 30-31. Walk-ins are also welcome. For more information, contact Charlie Bold at 847-362-4992.
Instead of giving up dessert or candy for Lent this year, how about giving up some of your valuable time to explore your
relationship with God through the liturgies of Holy Week? Come and rediscover Jesus and the people he encountered
along the way.

Youth Ministry
Fundraiser
After all masses the weekend of
February 6 & 7 Alpha Omega
Youth Ministry will have its first
Bake Sale of 2016.
Put your New Year’s Resolution
aside for the weekend (assuming
you’ve kept it this long) and enjoy
some of our delicious homemade
goodies. There’s bound to be
something there you’ll love.
And if you’ve kept your resolution—donations are still welcome.
We thank you
for all your support!
WHAT’S UP NEXT IN THE RCIA: BROKENNESS, SIN, HEALING, AND FORGIVENESS
This Wednesday in the RCIA, our inquirers and their sponsors will begin a multiple-week review of our healing Sacraments: Reconciliation and Anointing. Our topic for this week is a challenging one, that of “Evil, Suffering, & Brokenness.” We’ll take a look at the age old question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” We’ll also talk about how
suffering and sin erodes the human spirit, both individual and communal, and how our desire and need to be healed of
the afflictions can cause us to turn away from God.
This is always a challenging session, as painful memories often come to the surface during our discussion; please keep
the group in your prayers! Likewise, the RCIA group will continue to pray for all the people of our parish.
FYI – We now (after the Rites of Acceptance and Welcoming held at the 5:00 Mass last Saturday) refer to our seekers as
Catechumen and Candidate. The title “Catechumen” is assigned to inquirers who are considering entering into the
Church through Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. The title “Candidate” is assigned to inquirers who have already
been baptized into another Christian community (as Lutheran, Episcopalian, etc.) who are considering entering into full
communion with the Catholic Church through Confirmation and Eucharist. Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has recognized baptism in many Christian churches as “one, true Baptism.” This recognition has been formalized in recent years, with the Catholic Church and Protestant Church most recently signing documents making this
recognition official in 2013.
ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Did you miss Confirmation?
Here is your opportunity to be confirmed with other people your age!

HELP WANTED!
Do you enjoy meeting new people? Looking to get involved in the parish but don’t have a lot of time? Here are three
opportunities that involve a minimal time commitment and in which we have a great need for additional volunteers:
1) Greeters before and after Mass. Welcome people at the doors, help newcomers become acquainted with the parish, thank people for coming after Mass. Greeters typically serve 1-3 times a month as their schedule allows. Training is required and can be arranged to fit your schedule.
2) Hospitality once a month after Mass. Serve coffee and food after Mass, assist with cleanup. Hospitality ministers
are trained on the job and may serve monthly or every other month as their schedule allows. WE HAVE A CRITICAL NEED FOR SATURDAY 5PM MASS VOLUNTEERS IN THIS MINISTRY.
3) Parish Library table volunteers once a month after Mass, typically on the same week as Hospitality. Assist people in checking out and returning good spiritual reading material.
VOLUNTEER INTEREST FORM
Simply drop this form in the collection basket at Mass or put it in the mail to Maureen Evers at the parish office.
You may also email Maureen at [email protected] if you have questions or would like to volunteer.

Why Should I Come to Hear a Concert?
Composer Dan Schutte, a collaborator with the famous St. Louis Jesuits, has composed many songs you
have learned to love over the years. This weekend at
Mass here at St. Mary of Vernon, we used “Where
Love is Found” as a prelude at most Masses, and also
“Let Us Go to the Altar” as our gathering song. Did
you know that the latter was used at the Dedication
of our new church building in 2006?
Many other songs you know were written by this dynamic musician, among them “City of God”, “River of
Glory”, “Sing a New Song”, “Behold the Wood”, “Blest Be the Lord”, “Glory and Praise”, “Here I Am
Lord”, “Hosanna to the Son of David”, the arrangement of “Infant Holy” that we used at Christmas,
“Only This I Want”. Dan Schutte continues to write and publish music that touches the heart.
Mark the date and plan to bring the family for this huge parish event! The composers will not only play
and sing for us, they will share stories of their faith journey, and stories of how some of these songs
came to be written. You don’t want to miss it!

THE GREAT HYMN TO LOVE
It is doubtful that Saint Paul, when
he sat down to write what we now
know as the thirteenth chapter of
First Corinthians, knew that he was
penning what was to become one of
the keystones of Christian ethics. In
this brief passage, he set down ideals
about love that have held fast
through the centuries. Sometimes we
may think that because these are ideals to which we aspire, we are excused from them in our daily living.
But what Paul was writing was a letter to his friends, providing them
with some sound advice about what
it meant—and still means—to live in
love, day by day, as a follower of
Christ. We find in his words to his
friends a broadening of the great
commands of Jesus to love God and
neighbor. Today we hear what this
love must look like in our own actions, and how it ought to guide our
relationships with others.

Human Concerns Commission
LENTEN ALMSGIVING 2016
Our Catholic tradition encourages us to observe Lent through prayer, fasting and
almsgiving. Almsgiving is the act of helping the poor and performing acts of charity
and mercy. The Human Concerns Commission is offering an opportunity for all parishioners to contribute to a specific charity over the six weeks of Lent. Each week a
worthy charity will be highlighted and specific requests for donations will be listed.
You can participate as often as you like by bringing your donations to the narthex collection area each weekend. Cash donations can be placed in the blue box on the table
in the center of the narthex.
The six charities that were selected this year represent a cross section of needs in our local community;
namely, care for the elderly, support for mothers and children, the homeless, the imprisoned, education and
fostering vocations. We hope that this opportunity to reach out to the poor and vulnerable and those in need
will serve to bring you closer to the full observance of Lent. Two charities are new this year: the Laboure
Society and Dress-a-Girl Around the World.

Our team of experienced job seekers and HR managers provides a range of services including job
search strategy/planning, resume reviews, practice interviews, and networking recommendations.
All are welcome – from recent graduates looking for that first job to the individual looking to make a change in their
career or current role to the seasoned job hunter.
YOU CAN HELP!

Living in Love Retreat for Married Couples—March 5-6 at St. Joseph’s in Libertyville. The best gift you can give
your spouse is telling them that they are worth spending time exploring ways to grow deeper in love with each other.
This 1-1/2 day workshop retreat, held on site, offers get-away time to bring back the appreciation and passion for each
other. You don’t stay overnight, but go home to your own comfortable bed. The weekend is private. There’s no mandatory personal sharing with other couples. Couples from past weekends told us that it has made a huge difference in their
marriage, reigniting that “in love experience” that made them want to be married in the first place. No married couple is
too young OR too old not to benefit from this retreat. Cost is $125 per couple and includes a romantic candlelight dinner
on Saturday evening. Questions? Call Dave & Glenda Braun 847-816-0494 or register today on the Marriage Enrichment page of St. Joe’s website: http://www.stjoseph-libertyville.org.
