Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of
the Cross is a traditional Lenten devotion. Stations
of the Cross serve as an excellent way to tell the
Good Friday story. The stations are places to stop
and think about what is depicted in that scene at that
place. There are typically fourteen or fifteen stations
highlighting Jesus’ walk to the Cross.
At St.
Elizabeth Seton, various groups will portray the
Stations of the Cross for the parish.

Questions of the Week
First Reading: Deuteronomy 26:4-10
Second Reading: Romans 10:8-13
Gospel Reading: Luke 4:1-13
1. Today’s reading from Paul strongly presents the call to
discipleship with the words, “believe in your heart”
and “confess with your mouth.” Both phrases offer
great challenges. Which one is the greater challenge
for you?
2. American pluralism might well encourage an attitude
of indifference rather than tolerance in letting people
alone with their beliefs. How can this attitude be
overcome? As a disciple, how might you take a stand
for your religious convictions without arrogance,
coercion or manipulation?
3. In the gospel reading, Jesus confronts evil by quoting
from the scriptures. What Christian messages can you
use this week by word and example to transofmr our
community and society today?
Did you know?
You can donate appreciated stocks to the Church?
When you do, you will receive a tax deduction for
the full value of the stock, but not have to pay tax on
the gain. The process is fairly simple.
Contact Kathy McGowan at 630-416-3325 for more
details.

Our Parish Mental Health Ministry
For Parents of Children, Youth, and Young
Adults with Disabilities
A part of our beautiful faith is that we want to share it
with everyone!
To do that in the way Christ calls us, we need to make
sure we hear from you how we can do it in a way that
works best for you!
Two listening sessions have been scheduled for parents to
share their comments about how well parishes in the
diocese have assisted them with sacramental preparation,
Mass attendance, and any other issues.
Bishop R. Daniel Conlon has asked that the diocesan
Disabilities Ministry provide this opportunity to hear the
needs of these families, so that they can assist parish
leaders to serve them better.
Session One will be on Saturday, February 20 at St.
Raphael Parish in Naperville, 10:30 am – 12 noon (during
the RE ACH session).
Session Two will be Monday, April 18 fr om 7-8:30 pm
at St. Mary Immaculate Parish, Plainfield.
For more information, please contact Joyce Donahue at
815-221-6146.
If you cannot make those sessions, please reach out to
Gerard Erickson and pass along your comments:
[email protected]; 630-669-5653.
Fr. Mike Schmitz tackles some of the most difficult
topics in the Church today with humor, clarity, and
theological truth. In this talk, he challenges us to not
settle for mediocrity and to allow Christ to change
our lives. Fr. Mike goes on to explain that once we
are changed by the love of Jesus, then together we
can change the world.
Parishioner Comments:
If I could only share one talk, this would be it!
Jesse - Elgin, IL
Fr. Mike challenges us to look back at how we spend
our time and our money and ask if our history proves
our love for Jesus.

ENVIRONMENT – THINK GREEN: If you alr eady
compost in your backyard, we applaud you and we thank
you for doing your part to conserve resources and save
our earth.
If you live in Naperville, consider signing up for their
voluntary food scrap composting collection program. If
you don’t live in Naperville, talk to your municipality
about getting food scrap composting started in your
community. Call Waste Management at 800-796-9696.
“Jesus is with us every step of the way,
giving us the grace we need. God invites
us to embrace the lives we have been
given, for as long as they are given. Every
life is worth living.”

WHY THIS ACTION HELPS: Food scr aps contain
nutrients our soil needs. Sending food scraps to the
landfill wastes those valuable resources. Using a garbage
disposal wastes water and energy. Did you know it takes
about eight gallons of water for every pound of food
when using a garbage disposal? Remember, we pay for
water two ways – pulling it from Lake Michigan and
sending it to the wastewater treatment facility.
Composting is the best way to dispose of food scraps –
helping our soil, saving water and conserving energy.

Pope Francis calls for a change in lifestyle and
consumption. We can make important changes as
individuals, families and communities. This is a change
that is easy for us to make.
The 40 Days for Life campaign is a communitybased campaign that draws attention to the evil of
abortion through the use of a three-point program of
Prayer and fasting, Peaceful vigil and Community
outreach.
We encourage the use of our high efficiency electric hand
dryers located in the rest rooms in the lower level rather
than using paper towels. By doing so, we reduce our
carbon footprint and our impact on landfill capacity,
besides saving our parish money. Thank you for your
participation in sustainability, which Pope Francis has
been encouraging.

40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful
approach to showing local communities the
consequences of abortion in their own
neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It
puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the
carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion. The
40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God
used 40-day periods to transform individuals,
communities and the entire world. From Noah in the
flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after
Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the
transformative value of His people accepting and
meeting a 40-day challenge.
Volunteers are needed to pray at the abortion mill in
Downers Grove. Sign up on line at:
