A TIME TO READ, AND A TIME TO REFRAIN FROM READING
I know that you are reading this column, but where are you right now? That’s right, ‘where are
you right now?’ Are you sitting at home, or in a coffee shop after Mass, or are you sitting in one of
the pews waiting for Mass to begin? Now, I hope that your response to this question will not be
that you are presently reading this during Mass. If that is the case – ‘Houston, we have a problem!’ While the weekly bulletin surely contains very important information about what is happening in the parish, it should never distract us from what is taking place while we are at prayer. I
have known churches where the bulletins are not even available to the parishioners until they exit
following the dismissal at Mass – a drastic measure, or perhaps not?
My reason for noting this is that I often observe people walking into church with the bulletin in
their hand, and then walking right past the stands holding the worship aids, which are intended to
help people participate during Mass. Since one of my responsibilities is preparing these leaflets, I
often feel like singing the line from an old spiritual which goes, “Sometimes I feel discouraged
and think my work’s in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.” Ideally, one of our
greeters or ushers would be handing out the worship aid as a personal invitation to fully and consciously enter into the celebration. Sometimes, however, we don’t always have greeters available
at every entrance, which then places the responsibility on people to pick them up as they enter the
church.
We now have been in our first year of adapting to the changes in the Mass, and overall, it seems
like many of the responses are becoming easier and more natural. Beginning in July 2012 through
July of 2013, the Strategic Pastoral Plan for the Archdiocese of Chicago has identified this time as
the “Year of the Sunday Mass.” Hopefully, this will be a time for us to focus on the importance of
what we do when we come together as a community each Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist. Most
of us enter our church out of a very busy, complex world that often is increasingly at odds with the
spirituality at the core of our faith. May we all come to understand how to grow closer to Christ
and to one another by eliminating the distractions that prevent us from entering fully into our worship.

SCHOOL NEWS!
The 2012-2013 Calendar is up! You can see it on our website at www.shwschool.org. You can subscribe to
it on your computer, tablet, or smart phone and you will automatically get any changes or updates as they
happen.
Transition meetings for parents: Monday, May 21st, from 2:15 to 3:15 pm the meeting will be for parents of 3rd graders going
into 4th grade, and on Thursday, May 24th, from 9:30 to 10:30 am the meeting will be for parents of JK students going into

Wednesday, May 23th, at the 8:30 am all school Mass, the 2012-2013 newly elected student council members will be inducted.
Please join us for this special Mass and to congratulate our new student council.
There will be no school on Monday, May 28th to celebrate Memorial Day. Enjoy the long weekend.
Wednesday, May 30th at 8:30 am is our annual Thank You Mass. This mass is to celebrate and thank all the parents who
volunteer for things such as: coaching, lunchroom duty, PTO, School Board, field trip chaperones, classroom parents, Nite
Lites, library, and any other parent involved activity. Please join us for the mass, and afterwards for a brief reception in the
gathering space in church so the teachers, staff, and students can give you a big thank you for all their help throughout
the year.
CATECHISTS NEEDED—CONSIDER THIS
May is Catechist Recruitment month. In this column each week we’d like you to meet some of our catechists and hear
why they teach religious education. Perhaps you have the gifts and ability to be a catechist and would be willing to
call to talk further to Sr. Luanne about volunteering (847-446-6535). Ordinarily, we have two catechists per class and it
isn’t necessary to be a parent. Sometimes we have a parent-teen team or husband-wife team. This column is back by
popular demand and hopefully, will be a catalyst for drawing more into this wonderful ministry. Here are some stories:
My name is Patty Sanfilippo and I am the mother of two teens, Anna and Michael. We have been Sacred
Heart parishioners for about 20 years and both of our children attended Sacred Heart Religious Education. I have been a 5th grade catechist for the past 6 years. There are 3 main reasons I teach Religious
Education:
I learn a lot. Even though I’ve taught for the past 6 years I still find myself learning something new each time I
review the weekly lesson materials and prepare for class. Plus, the students ask the most interesting questions!
We’ve done a bunch of role-playing over the years and I’m always amazed by the “smarts” and creativity of the
students.
It’s another way to connect to the parish community. This is a great way for me to give back and to connect
on a personal level with moms, dads, students, other catechists, parish staff—people I would otherwise probably
never meet.
It’s fun. Yes, sometimes I’d rather sleep in on Sunday morning but once I’m in class I find myself energized..and
that feeling carries over into my whole day!
I strongly encourage you to consider making the commitment; it’s not hard and there are lots of us “olds-timers” around
to help if you need it. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions (847-525-3754) Take the plunge!

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
This weekend one of the Religious Ed Board Members will be speaking briefly at the Masses to
ask for volunteers to teach religious education. Please do consider this and call the office to
talk further (847-446-6535).
Registration for the 2012-2013 Religious Education year continues. Registration and
payment of tuition/fees are now available on-line.
Favor please--when you register take time to seriously consider enrolling for the Sunday
afternoon 5:30-6:45 classes so as to help maintain the balance that is needed for our program
to work. We moved class time up by 15 minutes so we’ll be out by 6:45, and not too late to
get home for a Sunday evening supper together.
The results are in. As of today our Lenten Mission project of library books for Haiti has
brought in $1754 from our Religious Education families. THANKS to all who returned their
banks and made donations for this worthwhile project.

THANK YOU FR. KEVIN!
Join us for coffee and conversation after the 10:30am Mass
Sunday (today) as we extend our thanks and bid farewell to
Fr. Kevin Gillespie
Fr. Kevin has been a visiting presider here at Sacred Heart for the last two
years while he served as the Associate Provost at Loyola University in Chicago.
During that time, he came to know our parish well and we came to know his
humor and spirituality. He will be sorely missed! He will still have a Mass here
next weekend (9:00am) but then he will be leaving to begin his new assignment as the President of St. Joseph University in Philadelphia.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Fr. Kevin for his guidance, his
generous spirit and the gift of his priesthood to our community. We wish him
well in his new ministry.
