SHARING HIS REAL PRESENCE AS WE GO FORTH TO EVANGELIZE
God is so good! I would like to thank you for all of your support for the Confirmation retreat last
week. This Saturday it happens all again. We invite you to be an active prayer supporter of this day
dedicated to God. Our young people are searching for what is real in their lives and in anticipation of
their Confirmation we allow ourselves to be vessels of grace to them. We ask the Holy Spirit to shape
our words and be present in our actions that all may be lifted up to a new awareness of God's presence.
We offer God the opportunity to make His love, forgiveness and healing present to our Confirmation
candidates and that all will receive that which God wants them to receive. This is a powerful day in
our parish and we ask that you pray that God’s goodness will shine and define the lives of our future
Church. All is needed. I am grateful to the many volunteers and for the direction of these days
provided by Julie, our Jr. High/ Middle School Youth Minister.
Next Sunday is Kick-Off Sunday for our Religious Education Program. We are very blessed to
have a vibrant program that is the third largest in the diocese. All of this happens because of the
investment of our volunteers. It is a huge commitment and we are blessed to have the core of believers
that become the ambassadors for God each and every time a student walks through the door. We are
still in need of volunteers. Say yes and God will bless you in abundant ways.
Fr. John
REFLECTIONS FROM YLC (Youth Leadership Conference)
YLC is a life changer. When I first came to the last meeting of S.A.L.T, I didn't really know what I was
doing. I knew how to be a leader but not to the extent of where I am now. YLC is a place where young
leaders can come together and express themselves and their ideas without hesitation. I encountered God this
weekend through my parish and my friends. Throughout the weekend I saw that God comes to people in
different ways. The way that God impacts me is by giving me friends that don't judge others, but accepts
them for who they are. YLC is an experience that I will be attending next year because it is one event that
no one should miss.
—Andy Jankowski
It isn't always easy to find the right words to pray. Sometimes you're nervous, sometimes you're lost,
sometimes you're angry, and sometimes you simply feel empty. Before YLC I felt all of those emotions, I
was afraid, embarrassed, confused, and frustrated with my faith, and I couldn't find any words to ask God
for help. At one breakout session my group of about 40 soon-to-be college freshmen were asked to pray for
healing, mercy, and forgiveness. I went through the motions feeling like an imposter, and when it came
time to have a conversation with God I just sat and starred straight ahead, completely unable to pray. That
was when a boy I'd never met walked over and asked if he could pray for me. God worked through him to
tell me that I wasn't alone, and as a stranger placed his hands on my shoulders and prayed for a girl who's
name he didn't even know, I felt the Father's love flow through me. Slowly, I was able to pray again and
reestablish the beautiful relationship with the Lord I had been missing. Without YLC, I never would have
been inspired by other teens who lived the Gospel in all of their actions.
—Sam Peters

SETTING THE EARTH ON FIRE
Every good Boy Scout or Girl Scout knows that for a fire to burn it needs a spark. That spark needs
fuel to burn and oxygen to grow. The fuel is used to burn and allow the fire to get hotter, bigger and at
times more intense. When Jesus says He wants to set the earth on fire, He is inviting the disciples and all
of us to become the fuel for that fire. He is the spark, He is the energy that keeps it ablaze. The Holy
Spirit is the oxygen that keeps the fire growing and seen, yet we are invited to become the fuel. To do
this we must allow ourselves to surrender to God’s will. To become fuel for God’s fire we must allow
ourselves to be used for God’s Kingdom to submit to His grace and allow Him to transcend our
humanness to raise it to what He needs. This is a lifelong journey and yet at times the Holy Spirit allows
us to catch glimpses of it. On one of the first Confirmation retreats we had, one of the college students
came back to give a witness talk and I was stunned by her honesty. She spoke so frankly about her
jealousy of her sibling and how it took precedence during her senior year. It was an awesome talk and
God used her to directly proclaim to our Confirmation candidates the living of our faith in real
situations. She had to confront the jealousy in her life and all that she thought she deserved. It was
powerful and I remember it to this day, even though it was three years ago. Setting ourselves in a place to
do God’s will goes back to the greatest surrender in the history of the world which took place in the
Garden of Gethsemane. In that place Jesus surrendered. As He did, God the Father glorified Him and
because of this, our sins are forgiven. This gift of forgiveness is not earned by anything we do, but by the
sacrifice of His life, fully divine and fully human, the Son of God. We are to lay our lives down for the
sake of His Kingdom.
In fire building there are many kinds of fuel. The process begins with small tinder and then medium
twigs are added. There is a process to build a blazing fire. Sometimes our issues are with what type of
fuel we want to be. We all want to be the long lasting log that stays lit the longest. But a log cannot
create the fire alone. It needs all of the other elements as well. Many of us do not want to give way to
others and to bigger kindling. In a fire everything gets burned in the proper time. We struggle at times to
just surrender to what God needs. To become fuel, we need to look into the Scriptures. Moses and the
burning bush captured the attention of the future leader of Israel. He sees a fire that is not consuming the
fuel. It doesn’t go out. At the Easter Vigil we proclaim Jesus as the Light that dispels the darkness and
we use fire at the start of the celebration of the triumphant entrance of Jesus out of the tomb and into the
world. In the prayer of the Exultet, the deacon sings of the importance of the wax of the Easter candle
that allows itself to become such a holy symbol.
This is the fire we are to become. We are to offer ourselves as fuel, as instruments, as humble
servants to the will of God. May the fire of God never go out at St. Anne.

can show you how.
If you have any questions, please contact Judy Bulin at 630-554-4806.

STEWARDSHIP
In today’s second reading, we hear the author of the letter to the Hebrews liken the daily life of the
Christian steward to a race, a long-distance race perhaps, certainly not a sprint; requiring endurance and a
single-minded focus on Jesus at the finish line. Good stewards are firmly committed to running the race, to
live the Christian life to the fullest, to keep their eyes focused on Jesus. They don’t grow weary. They
don’t lose heart. They know there is immense joy waiting for them at the finish line. Are you fully
committed to living each day for Christ? Are you running the race, or are you simply jogging? Just
walking? Sitting? Going backwards? Going nowhere? Some of us may want to reflect on what we can do
to run the race with even more conviction. Others may want to reflect on how to simply enter the race and
start running.

R.C.I.A. - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a spiritual journey in faith to discover what it
means to follow Jesus as a Catholic Christian and the joy and freedom that can result from journeying with
Christ. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through R.C.I.A.. It is a learning and
loving process in which conversion of the heart brings you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior. Come
to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you. Take My yoke upon your
shoulders and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will find rest, for My yoke is
easy and My burden light. Matthew 11:28-30
If you or anyone you know have any questions and are high school age or older,
please contact Deacon David Brockman at 630-554-3331.

We are not alone.
In this great mercy work, we are not alone. The Letter to the Hebrews
(12:1-4) declares we can run the race, we can live the Christian life,
we can keep our eyes fixed on Jesus because we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses. We are not alone. We who eat and drink
Christ’s Blood and Body are “conformed to his image on earth” in
order to not only look like him but also be like him.
† Who is lonely, cut off, alone, and needs my visit?
† Who can I surround with my witness and comfort?
Let us say with Mary
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God
my Savior for He has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

HIDDEN TREASURES LIBRARY
Check out some great Reading!
Did you know. . . Saint Anne Parish has not one but two libraries in the Joachim Center? The adult
library is located across the hall from the Chapel. It has quite a large collection of books, as well as audio
and VCR tapes. The children’s area is in the opposite hall. The libraries are open when the Joachim Center
is open and we use a “self-check out” system.
Why not check it out!

Catholic Heart Workcamp. The teens say it all! “The Catholic Heart
Workcamp was an amazing experience. I learned about myself and that I would
like to include more prayer in my daily life. It was nice to get out and do
something positive for a struggling community. It was wonderful to connect
with a family that needed help. I would do it again, it is very regimented, but an
excellent experience.” Mickayla L. (incoming Freshman)
“…I absolutely loved working for the less fortunate. I met amazing people and we did amazing things. …
Seeing how these people live really taught me what mattered. The residents had so much love to give, even
though they didn’t have much. This showed me that when you have less, you show compassion towards the
thing God has given you. … Camp was amazing, I learned so much about myself and God. I will remember
and treasure this experience forever, I can honestly say I found Jesus at CHWC. Dominic B. (8th grade)
DASH VOLUNTEERS: God is hearing lots of pleas recently as our volunteer numbers resemble a drought
when instead I’m praying for a flood of Spirit-led adults to be mentors for our young teens for 18 Sunday
sessions. Can this possibly be you? 4pm time: 7th grade needs 4 Leaders and 5 Co-Leaders; 8th grade needs
1 Small Group Leader and 3 Co-Leaders. 6:30pm time: 7th grade needs 1Leader and 4 Co-Leaders; 8th grade
needs 3 Small Group Leaders and 3 Co-Leaders. Lesson plans are fully provided. Help is always present.
From what I heard last year, the kids enjoyed coming and adults appreciated all that was given. What fears
do you have about evangelizing/sharing your faith that I can help quell? Contact Julie Krakora.

TEEN SPICE NEEDS YOUR HELP
The deepest need of every human being is to love and to be loved – to know God. We all share a desire
for friendship, community, and spiritual growth.
Teen SPICE is an opportunity at St. Anne for any teen with any disability to learn and grow in faith
with a community of other Catholic teens. SPICE is seeking compassionate, patient volunteers to be
discussion leaders, activity leaders, prayer leaders, catechists, and catechist aides so we can start this vital
ministry.
Scripture tells us that it is in giving of our life that we find it. If you feel a nudge to consider giving of
yourself for approximately 1-1/2 hours once or twice a month during the school year, please contact either
of these two people for further information:

If they persecuted me, they will persecute you’. - John 15:20
The Peace and Justice Spiritual Work of Mercy
for August is “Comfort the Sorrowful”
More than 7,100 Christians were killed in 2015 for practicing their faith. Pope Francis has referred to the
persecutions and slaughter as an “ecumenism of blood” which has not been seen since the persecution of
Christians in the first century.
Let us pray for the millions affected by this violence.
Prayer for the Persecuted:
Father in Heaven, You make your sun shine on good and bad alike. Your Son Jesus Christ died for us
all and in His glorious Resurrection He still retains the five wounds of His Passion. With His divine
power He now sustains all those who suffer persecution and martyrdom for the sake of their fidelity to
the faith of the Church. Merciful and mighty Father, do not allow Cain to return again to murder
helpless Abel, innocent Abel. May persecuted Christians around the world remain, like Mary, their
Mother, together at the foot of the cross of Christ the Martyr. Comfort those menaced by violence and
those oppressed by uncertainty. May your Holy Spirit of love make fruitful the witness and the blood of
those who die forgiving. Amen.

MISSION STATEMENT
God has called us to be Christian witnesses by the
precious gift of our Catholic faith through Baptism. Just
as Saint Anne had a role in God’s plan so do each of us.
We are called to faithfully teach and live the message of
Jesus.
We listen to God’s word, grow in our
understanding of it and respond to it through outreach and
service in our own parish as well as the wider community.
We exercise our responsibility to develop and see the gifts
God has given us for the common good and to insure that
our Eucharistic celebrations are truly joyful and
meaningful.
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Baptisms are held the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month
at 12:30 PM. Expectant parents are to call the Parish
Office, six months before the birth of their child for
preparation information.
Please do not choose
Godparents until you receive the established Church
guidelines for Godparents.
SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE
Couples seeking the Sacrament of Marriage should call
the parish office at least six months before the date of
marriage. A wedding date may not be secured until
meeting with the parish Deacon or Priest. At that time,
the couple will be secured a date and begin the process of
preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage.
SACRAMENT OF THE SICK
If there is anyone at home who cannot get to Mass and the
Sacraments because of illness or age, please call the
parish office at anytime to request the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Those interested in becoming Catholic or in learning more
about the Catholic faith meet weekly. Call the parish office
or e-mail [email protected] for more information.
STEWARDSHIP PARISH
We are a stewardship parish. This means that every
parishioner with an income is asked to use a Sunday
envelope, since we expect to meet our needs from the one
collection at the Presentation of the Gifts.
NEW PARISHIONERS
All new families are warmly welcomed to Saint Anne
Parish and we ask that you register your family through our
website: http://stanneparish.org/registration-form/.
