Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church
In today’s 1st reading, the Lord God is
the principal actor. “I myself will look
after my sheep; I will rescue them; I myself will pasture them; the lost I will seek
out, and so on.” The Lord identifies Himself as compassionate to our needs. But
the question comes up as to how the
Lord is compassionate to our needs. How does He
show His compassion? How does He work? The answer is through the Church and the individual Christian. The Lord works through us. This is the importance of today’s Gospel.
In today’s Gospel from Matthew, we are given the
only place in the New Testament as how we will be
judged. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one
of the least brothers of mine, you did for me; (or)
Amen I say to you, what you did not do for one of
these least ones, you did not do for me.” In this reading, we are given the ultimate meaning of a human
act. By our care for the needs of the other, we allow
the Lord to work through us to show His compassion.
Yes, we have a great responsibility but this is the way
the Lord has chosen to work, in and through us, individually and as a Church.
Today’s gospel presumes a great deal of sensitivity
on our part, that we see the needs of the other and
appropriately respond. I think this sensitivity and response are habits we can develop, seeing and responding. We need to first stop our busy lives and
see the needs of the other. On this seeing and responding appropriately, so much depends.
My best to you, Fr. Sheridan

Dear Parishioners of Saint Francis Xavier Parish,
I am writing this letter to let you know about important changes
which I will be part of soon. As you remember I was assigned to be an associate pastor in your parish around two years and a half ago. As a newly
ordained priest that was my first parish in my priestly life. I will never forget how warm your welcome words were. Most of you were trying to do everything to make me feel like at home knowing
that my whole family is in Poland and that I have no relatives in this country. In such a short period
of time my life slightly changed. First of all I have to say that I grew up a little and begun seeing life
from different perspectives than before when I was still a seminarian. Then I was encouraged to
take care of my physical condition and with help of some of you who were motivating me I was
able to lose 120 pounds in one year. Such a change isn’t it. With your help I was able to learn a lot
of good things. After two years and a half of my work at Saint Francis with a lot of good stuff and
some downsides I decided to move forward. There was an opportunity to move to another parish
with totally different dynamic and I decided to move. After some conversations with placement
board and with Fr. Sheridan my request was accepted and I got permission to change parish. I
would like to inform all of you that December 1 I will begin my work at Divine Savior Parish in Norridge. I take it as a great opportunity for me to learn about working with different people in different
area in Chicagoland. We decided with Fr. Bill that my last Mass at Saint Francis will take place November 23, 2014 at 9:30am. After Mass there will be cake and coffee served at the Church. Please
come over so I will be able to thank you personally for your support and prayer during my time at
Saint Francis Xavier Parish. I would like to say thank you to all of you who in some way enriched
my time in Wilmette. I would like to say thank you to Fr. Sheridan for everything he has done and
to Fr. Rich and Fr. Ed. I would also like to extend my thanks words to the staff of Saint Francis Parish and to all of the people working in the school. Thank you for everything and may God bless
you. I will keep you in my prayers.
Fr. Mariusz Manka

Do you have a family member or friend in the Military (stateside or overseas)? Call the Parish Office
and we will put their name on our prayer list .
When your Armed Services member returns to civilian life, please let us know so that we can remove his or her name from our list.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Matthew has shown us throughout the course of his
gospel a microcosm of what, in fact, our whole Christian life is all about:
When we look upon others as sharing our dignity, as we look upon the other as Christ himself, every time we do good to another, it does make a difference in the world. The time is now. We cannot afford
to put off Christlike living to some future time. The
judgment is now.
When we consider what God has so graciously offered: an everlasting share in the glory of Christ
the King! The time is now.
St. Francis Xavier Christmas ornaments are on
sale now through November 30th. Ornaments are
$12 each. Please send your order along with a check
made out to "St. Francis Xavier School" to the school
office to the attention of Amy Ellis. Please include your
name, address, phone and email with your order, as
well your choice of ornament along with a name if you
would like that inscribed on the ornament - examples

the Flower," "Jameson the Crusader," or "St. Francis
with Cross."

To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign
St. Francis Xavier Parish is one of 110 archdiocesan parishes already participating in the Chicago Archdiocesan “To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign.” We began our campaign efforts in May 2014 and have received
many significant gifts as we reported last month in the bulletin and at
Masses.
We are very excited to announce that to aid our parish efforts, St. Francis Xavier has partnered with Campbell & Company, a nationally known nonprofit fundraising consulting firm headquartered in Chicago, as campaign counsel to guide our parish and school communities through a successful “To Teach Who Christ Is”
campaign. Executive Vice President Julia Kerwin McGuire – a SFX graduate, former parishioner and
daughter of Marguerite and Denis McKenna –has volunteered her time and will be leading the Campbell &
Company team. Additionally, Senior Consultant Kelly Short and Associate Consultant Mark Seiler, both
graduates of and former development employees at the University of Notre Dame, will be working in partnership with St. Francis Xavier’s staff and volunteers. We will be working with Campbell & Company through
next fall, and you will find the team working in the parish offices (across from Shel Moore) several days a
week.
St. Francis Xavier is also hiring a Campaign Manager to manage campaign activities and administrative affairs during the course of the campaign. The role will eventually turn into a Development Director for the
parish to ensure our long-term success. For more information on the position or the campaign, please contact Ross Richards at 847-772-7559 or [email protected] or visit our website www.sfxparish.org.

SPONSORED BY THE SFX ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM
Tutoring at St. Thomas of Canterbury School
St. Thomas
Cantebury
Many parishioners from St. Francis spend time each week
tutoring students at St. Thomas of Canterbury School.
However, additional tutors are needed.
The tutoring is done during school hours, 8:00AM to
2:30PM, Monday through Friday. If you have anywhere
from a few hours to a half day, you assistance will be
greatly appreciated. No teaching experience is necessary.
You can select the time and day that you wish to tutor, the
grade level and the subject, be it mathematics, English
grammar or composition. At the present time, St. Thomas
is in particular need of tutors to help immigrant students in
grades 1 through 6 develop English language skills.
This tutoring program has been very successful due in part
to the participation of so many St. Francis parishioners.
The ultimate success of the program is shown by the fact
that many of the graduates of St. Thomas receive full
scholarships to leading Catholic high schools in the Chicago area. If you are interested, please call Alice Halpin, assistant principal of St. Thomas, at 773.271.8655. If you
wish more information, call Ray Gass at 847-251-7665.

Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church
Important information regarding communion visits and
pastoral care of the sick for the homebound and hospitalized.
Please read carefully.
Your spiritual needs are very important to the staff at
St. Francis. To insure that you received the desired spiritual care if
you are hospitalized or homebound with illness, please assist us by
providing us with the following.
Hospital:
If you would like anointing prior to a scheduled surgery,
please call the parish office to schedule an anointing with a priest.
You may also receive anointing at the hospital when there is an
emergency.
When you are admitted to the hospital it is critical that you
or a loved one identifies your religious affiliation, your parish name
and your desire for pastoral care and communion visits.
The patient may also call the Ministry of Care line to
request communion at the hospital. A minister of care will make
sure the hospital is informed of this request.
Homebound:
Trained ministers of Care are available to bring
communion to our parish sick and homebound. Ministers also visit
local assisted living and nursing care homes. To schedule a visit,
please call the Ministry of Care line at: 847 256-2273 press 0 and a
Minister of Care will return your call.
