Remember in Prayer
Our Stewardship
of Treasure
As members of the parish faith community, it is our
responsibility to remember both in concrete and
spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each
week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn,
remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.
We experience many blessings because of their remembering

FORTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY MASS
Fr. Jim Kehoe who served in St. Ferdinand parish from 1984
to 1989 and again from 2005-2006 will be celebra ng a
Thanksgiving Mass to
mark his Forty-fi h
Ordina on Anniversary
on May 17, 2015 at
1:00pm.
Mass will be offered in
the Chapel of The Rev. James P. Kehoe Gymnasium, 653 W.
37th Street in Chicago. All past and present parishioners
are most welcome!
May 3, 2015
W
e at St. Ferdinand are very lucky to be
blessed with a compliment of seasoned and knowledgeable priests as
well as young and enthusias c newly ordained priests
with vision and foresight for the future. All of that is
kept together very ghtly by our Pastor Fr. Jason
Torba.
Since Fr. Jason’s arrival at St. Ferdinand much has
happened in terms of improvements, renova ons and
upgrades. Methodically and consistently Fr. Jason
moves forward with plans to provide for his parishioners Spiritual needs , pastoral services, educa onal
excellence and environmental improvements. It is a
pleasure to walk around the parish grounds and see
the beau ful Gro o of our Blessed Mother, the wellkept gardens and the seasonal flowers and decoraons.
Inside the Church and the Chapel he created a tranquil area for prayer and medita on for us and the
parish community. Parish Halls are clean and unclu ered .The main hall (known as McManus Hall)
was completely renovated from floor to ceiling making it the state of the art facility for all of us to enjoy.
Much energy, effort, resourcefulness, hard work and
crea ve financing on the part of Fr. Jason went into
making this Hall what it is today. Parish Council of St.
Ferdinand Church unanimously approved to rename
the McManus Hall to Jason Torba Center .Giving the
honor and credit to the man who made it happen.
This was our Birthday Gi to Fr. Jason who deserves
every bit of credit for not only this improvement, but
the Convent, Church, Chapel, Rectory, School and the
parish grounds. He can also be credited for bringing
the cultures and the people of St. Ferdinand together.
It is not a Polish or English Parish, it is St. Ferdinand
Parish.
Once the Convent is completely remodeled McManus
Hall and Cortesi Hall will be housed there to honor
our predecessors for what they did and how much
they meant to the Parish.

ON AM, SIRIUS XM, AND JOEL OSTEEN
Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])
The AM radio in my car died several months ago. I didn’t listen to a
lot of AM programming, but I enjoyed Relevant Radio on my drive
to and from work some mes, and I always got quick traffic and
weather updates from WLS and WBBM. So when my used (but-new
-to-me) Volvo was due for some scheduled maintenance a few
weeks a er the AM cold shoulder, I took it to Patrick Volvo in
Schaumburg, IL and asked the service guys there how much it would
cost me to get the radio fixed. A er hearing the details, they said
that the car radio didn’t need to be fixed. They said it needed to be
replaced. “OK,” I asked them. “How much to replace the radio?”
They lost me at “several hundred dollars…”
So now I’m strictly an FM guy. I know I can listen to Relevant Radio online through my smart phone, but I like cranking up
the dial, you know? To that end, my daughter gave me six months
of Sirius XM for Christmas. While this hasn’t kept me well-informed,
it has kept me well-entertained. I’m par al to channels 31 and 32.
Both feature acous c guitar music, and when the radio’s on, I’d say
that 75% of the me, one of these two is coming at me. I’ve got
bu ons keyed onto channel 7, as well (70s on 7), channel 49 (Soul
Town), and channel 150 (Spanish music). And just recently I keyed a
bu on onto a sta on I stumbled upon trying to find a local weather
report. Channel 128: Joel Osteen.
If you’re not familiar with the evangelical preacher from
Texas, I’m sure you can read about him online. What I’ve learned
thus far is that he did TV produc on for his father’s ministry years
ago. Then his dad died, and when Joel moved--somewhat hesitantly
--into pastoring, the flock responded. Osteen preaches a “prosperity
gospel” as I’ve heard the term described (abundance here, abundance there, abundance, abundance everywhere) and I’m sure
some Catholics and non-Catholic Chris ans alike take issue with it.
S ll, the guy is upbeat, and--to my ears--sincere. He preaches that
even when things are not going well for us, we need to be pa ent-and hopeful-- because each one of us is “a child of the most high
God.” And indeed we are.
I think of Joel Osteen and his preaching now as I consider
today’s readings. For one thing, Osteen is quick to say God puts
people in our lives that can help us fulfill our divine des nies. Look
at the first reading. Where would the Apostle Paul be, if not for
Barnabas? Osteen is quick to say also that we have to do our part-we have to remain in faith, never doub ng that God is for us--to
allow God to work miracles in our lives. OK. Now look at St. John’s
encouragement/direc on in the second reading: “Beloved, if our
hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive
from him whatever we ask.” And we hear more of the same in the
Gospel from Jesus himself. “If you remain in me and my words remain in you,” he says, “ask for whatever you want and it will be
done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit
and become my disciples.” I don’t know what this sounds like to
you, but it sounds like a prosperity gospel to me. And like Osteen, I
embrace the message.
