Just a Thought...
This is one of the “nuts and bolts” columns for you
this week.
First of all, to all who supported this year’s
Siamsa na nGael concert this past Tuesday evening
at the Symphony Center, a rousing THANK YOU!
While our sponsorship support ($) was down a bit
this year, the number of those in attendance was up!
Siamsa has become an annual Chicago event for St. Patrick’s Day.
In addition to our prayerful Liturgies celebrating Patrick, Siamsa also
has become a profound, beautiful expression of the gift of Irish culture.
We stand so grateful to Bill Fraher, our music director, and Mary Evers
for composing and producing the storyline and music for the concert.
They are so gifted and talented. We cannot thank enough the gifted
musicians and the spectacular concert choir of Old St. Pat’s. Wow…
they are good. Big events like that don’t just happen overnight;
I don’t know where we’d be without Sheila Greifhahn, Barbara Hage,
and Annette Buys from our staff who work so hard on all of our
special events for Old St. Pat’s. To all of our supporters, volunteers,
singers, and staff, I offer a big thanks to you.
“Catholic March Madness” continues as we get closer to Holy Week.
I hope you’ll plan on joining us for Jack Shea’s Lenten Evening of
Reflection on Wednesday March 24 and also Fr. John Cusick’s
Adult Appreciation of the Passion on Sunday, March 28.
We also hope you definitely plan on being with us for the extraordinary
Liturgies of Holy Week. If you haven’t signed up for one of the Holy
Thursday Mass and Dinners, make sure you do it today!
On occasion, in this publication, you will see a “gentle” appeal
regarding the church and anything we can do to prevent unnecessary
damages. I know minor scratches are unavoidable; however, PLEASE
help us be good stewards of this sacred space, Chicago’s Oldest
Church and public building!
Blessings to you.
Fr. Tom Hurley
PLEASE HELP!
As Old St. Patrick’s is Chicago’s oldest church and oldest public building,
this sacred space is special to all who find their way here. Knowing how
all of us appreciate and revere this sacred place, we ask for your help and
cooperation in maintaining this historic church.
Did you know:
➢ spilled beverages stain the carpet and marble floor?
➢ dropped food can be ground into the carpet and some of that
food, especially raisins, can never be completely removed?
➢ keys, pens, and metal toys have scarred many of the
pews, and these pews will have to be removed,
restored, and reinstalled?
It is important that we know the consequences if we do
not care for this magnificent church.
Please help us preserve the beauty of this grand church
for generations to come.
Thank you.

A WAKENINGS
LENTEN TRANSFORMATION
BY KEARA COUGHLIN
Year after year, as Catholics, we take up this season of Lent: some of us with apathy, some with
near-dread, and some with excitement at the opportunity to “work on” the things in our lives and in our
hearts that could use a little rearranging or reshaping. The idea of a Lenten “fast” is to give ourselves the
opportunity to look at our priorities and “get back to the essentials” — the things that most deserve
our attention, our energy, and our compassion.
A side-effect of these Lenten practices is we might start to believe we can conquer all our bad habits, and
we might be under the impression our woundedness or imperfections can be improved or “fixed” … and all
in 40 days! The problem is we have it all backwards: Lent is not primarily for us to see what we can accomplish, but rather
how we might cooperate with what God hopes to do in us.
Keara Coughlin
The words of the great Jesuit philosopher, geologist, poet, and priest, Pierre Teihard de Chardin, are a beautiful reminder to us:
“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something
unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability — and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually — let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances
acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.”
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.
Keara Coughlin is director of Young Adult Ministry at Old St. Patrick’s Church.

COMMUNITY FAITH FORMATION
Claim the Hurt: A Church Laments
Tuesday, March 23
6:30 p.m.
An Evening of Reflection to host, contemplate, and honor any hurt, disappointment,
alienation, sadness, or estrangement people may be bearing in relationship to the
Church. Please join us, and invite anyone for whom you think this may be a relevant
or healing experience. To the extent it is true that hurt, disappointment,
misunderstanding, loss, sadness, disaffection, and pain are part of any significant
relationship that lasts over time, then we can say with some confidence many have
experienced these emotions with respect to their relationship with the Church.
Richard Rohr says, “simply and profoundly, if you don’t transform your pain you
transmit it. In order for pain to be transformed, it has to be acknowledged,
recognized, heard, received, honored.” On Tuesday, March 23, we will gather to
acknowledge, recognize, hear, receive and honor peoples pain and disappointment in
their relationship with the Church. Our deep hope and prayer is this evening will
contribute to healing and transformation. Please join us and consider inviting anyone
who may contribute to and benefit from this evening of reflection. “Even when
everything around us may signal otherwise, we wait together — as one community
— in joy and in confident hope our God will come, and in fact, is already here!”
“My Lord, my deepest yearning
is before you; my groaning is not
hidden from you;
my heart shudders . . .”

“THE PASCHAL MYSTERY WE RELIVE IN THE EASTER TRIDUUM IS NOT JUST A MEMORY
BUT A CURRENT REALITY... IT IS UPON THIS CERTAINTY THAT OUR CHRISTIAN LIVES ARE BUILT.”
~ POPE BENEDICT XVI
As we approach Holy Week, we welcome your participation at two very special opportunities to reflect on the deepest
meanings of the Paschal Mystery. Drawing on the wisdom of two extraordinary teachers and preachers, each presentation will
offer unique insight into the sacred rhythm of life, death, and resurrection.
We hope you can be with us!
An Adult Reflection on the
Passion and Death of Christ
Sunday, March 28
Join us as Fr. John Cusick leads us into a
deeper appreciation of the meaning and
power of the Passion Narratives.
Date:
Sunday, March 28
Time:
9:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.
Place: Fr. Jack Wall Mission Center,
Room 25ABC, second floor
711 W. Monroe Street, Chicago
Fr. John Cusick
Beginning with the highly charged drama of the Last Supper,
we will trace the actions of Jesus at the Garden of
Gethsemane, to his interrogation by the religious and the
imperial authorities, and finally through his suffering and
death at Golgotha.
We also will consider the many and varied reactions of those
who witnessed and influenced the events of The Passion
including: the disciples, Mary and the soldiers, Judas and
Pilate, and the crowds that filled the streets.
We invite you to allow this informative and thought provoking
presentation to become a part of your preparations for the
celebration of the Paschal Triduum.
The program is presented free of charge and no advance
registration is required.
Fr. John Cusick serves as director of The Young Adult
Ministry Office for the Archdiocese of Chicago. In addition
to his work with young adults throughout the Archdiocese,
Fr. Cusick plays an important role in shaping the life of Old
St. Patrick’s Church. Those of us who gather at Old St.
Patrick's know and appreciate him for his gifts of preaching,
leadership, creativity, and compassionate service he so
generously shares with us.

LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION: WE’RE ALL INVITED.
This Lenten Season let us be acutely aware of the privilege and challenge of God's invitation: We’re All Invited, desperately
invited to join in intimate companionship with Jesus in the ultimate treacherous adventure — Life, Death, and Resurrection.
You may have seen this sign around swimming pools: “No one swims alone.” This is also true when it comes to traversing the
“Rhythm of Love,” the Paschal Mystery...Life, Death, and Resurrection. Not only are we ALL invited, but we need each other.
Thank you for your companionship.
“Even when everything around us may signal otherwise, we wait together — as one community — in joy and in confident
hope our God will come, and in fact, is already here!”
During this Season of Lent, we pray our God may inspire us, lead us, and bless us in our journey.
THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICES OF LENT:

sons of God,
✦
invites us to speak our deepest desires to God,
✦
nourishes us for our life and work in the world,
✦
becomes a way we experience intimacy with God and
opens us to greater intimacy in all our relationships.
✦

FASTING
ALMSGIVING
The Practice of Fasting…
The Practice of Almsgiving…
✦
heightens our awareness of hunger and poverty in the world,
✦
encourages us to examine our relationship with food,
✦
helps loosen our attachments to habits and behaviors that inhibit our growth,
✦
creates “space” in our lives for deepening our relationships with
God and neighbors,
✦
prepares us to accept the risks and discipline necessary for change
and growth.
✦
provides a measure of relief for those in need,
✦
calls into question the hidden root causes of poverty and suffering,
✦
allows us to express compassion for our brothers and sisters in need,
✦
reminds us that we are stewards of the world’s resources,
✦
guards against indifference,
✦
challenges us to include justice as a criterion for our decision-making,
business practices, public policies, spending, and investment choices.
Practice Almsgiving by…
THE LENTEN FAST
✦
participating in the Outreach Group’s many volunteer service and
sharing opportunities,
Catholics 14 years and older abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday,
Good Friday, and on all the Fridays of Lent.
✦
supporting your charities and perhaps choosing a new one to support,
✦
giving of your time to learn more about how we can act to transform
oppressive and unjust structures in our society,
✦
giving of your time and talents to work with others to promote social
justice in our communities and throughout the world,
✦
responding with grace and generosity to requests for help and care.
Catholics who are 18 but not yet 60 years of age, in addition to abstaining
from meat, fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those who are fasting
may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken to maintain
strength according to one’s needs, but we refrain from eating solid foods
between meals.
Practice Fasting by...
For these forty days, together with Christians throughout the world, together
with the many generations of Christians who have come before us, we will put
our trust in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We will call
upon each other for courage and companionship. And as always, we would be
honored to walk together with you on this, our annual journey to Easter.
✦
joining the church in its observance of the Lenten Fast,
✦
choosing to add your own day of fasting each week,

wake of the Second Vatican Council, it has grown to be the largest Catholic school of theology in the country and serves a diverse
student body of religious order seminarians, lay men and women, and a significant number of international students.
Located in Hyde Park, CTU is home to a faculty widely recognized for their excellence in preparing new generations of leadership for
the Church. We are thrilled to bring members of this distinguished faculty to Old St. Pat’s.

Old St. Pat’s Comes to Your Neighborhood!
Old St. Pat’s is a large congregation drawing members from more than 200 different zip codes. While it is great to be part of a growing and
vibrant experience of Church, sometimes it is challenging to feel connected to others within such a large community.
Our satellite programming is a chance for our suburban and outlying members and friends to gather together with their Old St. Pat’s neighbors,
hear an interesting speaker, and have some great conversation (and avoid a trip downtown!). Come join us!

Finding God in Everyday Life

Mary Kay Slowikowski, [email protected].
They say “the devil is in the details,” but the truth is God is in the details, too. This talk will introduce a tool for
discovering the grace of God’s presence, and God’s invitations to living more joyfully, found within the details of our
everyday lives. With the Examen, a prayer developed by St. Ignatius and foundational to his Spiritual Exercises, we
attempt to put on the mind of Christ, and walk through the memory of each day noticing patterns of consolation and
peace, as well as anxiety and disturbance. Over time, this prayer draws us into an ever-deepening relationship with
our loving God.
Claire Noonan is the director of the Siena Center at Dominican University, and a practical theologian who brings more than a decade

This question — unimaginable to our predecessors just a few generations ago — is one that rests on the minds
and hearts of many Catholics today. With all the challenges life offers as part of the Church, people wonder: what,
beyond the ability to continue with tradition, are the benefits of being affiliated, let alone dedicated, to the Church?
These are the questions of our age, and the sense is our Church has both the honor and the responsibility of
addressing them in dialogue with both Catholics and non-Catholics in an open, sincere, honest, and unapologetic
way. And in doing so, the Church might help reveal why this institution/family/body/community/way of life might actually be
relevant — even in the 21st century.

Volunteers Needed for "Breakfast with the Bunny"
Saturday, March 27
Marillac House
Once again, the Connections group is hosting the much awaited
“Breakfast with the Bunny“ from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturday,
March 27 at the Marillac Social Center. The Center focuses on
strengthening and empowering children and families on
Chicago's West Side, and concentrates on early childhood
education, teen mentoring, family support services, and
assistance to the elderly. The Marillac Social Center is
located at 212 S. Francisco Avenue, Chicago.
“Breakfast with the Bunny” provides needy families and their
children with a traditional Easter breakfast, egg hunt, egg coloring
experience, and a visit from the "real" Easter Bunny. Twenty
volunteers are needed to make 80 Easter baskets for the children,
and assist with various activities. Each volunteer is asked to
bring a small Easter basket and "goodies" such as
candy, chocolate eggs, and chocolate bunnies to fill
the baskets. Volunteering for this event is truly a
rewarding experience. Bring your smile and laughter
to children who would otherwise not have the
opportunity to celebrate Easter’s traditions.

Connections Spruces Up Homeless Shelter
On Sunday, Feb. 21, Connections members met at a homeless
shelter in Humboldt Park to remodel a small apartment for a
mother and several children. Members painted, replaced an
oven and stove, as well as replaced a sink and vanity in the
bathroom. In the main community area, sinks and fixtures were
replaced in the bathroom, and extra shelves were hung in the
community kitchen. Upon stopping back in the evening to
pick-up some supplies, project organizer, Jim Otto, was thanked
by residents and kitchen workers for the improved bathrooms
and kitchen space. Special thanks are extended to Jim Otto

ADULT SPIRITUALITY
Beloved — An Amazing Experience
Friday - Sunday, April 16 - 18, 2010
If you find yourself identifying with any of the reflections below from Beloved Retreat attendees, you may want to
consider taking a pause… give yourself a new start and a chance to begin again.
Beloved is about the Holy Spirit in action. Some
people find it a place to talk about their relationship with
God, or to find Church in a different way. I find it is not a
ceremonial Church but one that exists in the interaction
between people. Beloved is the Church in action. It is about
involvement and lets you ask the question, “how do I involve
myself in church rather than be a spectator?”
I once heard a folk song,
“This is my country,” with Beloved
I say, “This is my Church.”
Beloved opened
spaces in my heart for
God to come through.
Save the date... the next Beloved Retreat
experience will take place Friday - Sunday,
April 16 - 18, 2010 at the University of
St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, IL.
To reserve your space, please return the
registration form below with your deposit.
Beloved Registration Form for April 16 - 18, 2010
To reserve your space, please send a $75 deposit, or full
payment of $205 with this form to:
Beloved offered genuine support that has allowed me to
practice a virtue I was never very good at — patience. It
occurred to me not only am I a Beloved child of God, but
everyone else is too.

Someone You Should Know
Elizabeth Bish
Q. How long have you attended Old St. Pat’s?
A. I have been coming to Old St. Pat’s for eight years.
Q. Tell us a little about your most recent trip to Ireland for
the All Ireland Championships?
A. I recently returned from Killarney, Ireland where I danced in
The All Ireland Irish Dance Championships and took 10th place
out of almost 200 top dancers from all over the world. I will go on to compete at the
World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland in three weeks! This was a huge
achievement for me!
Q. What prompted you to choose Irish Dancing?
A. When I was little, a lot of my friends were involved in Irish Dancing so I thought
it would be fun too. It turned out to be a little bit more than just an activity for me.
It turned out to be a sport I have come to love.
Q. What is the most fun aspect of Irish Dancing for you?
A. Mostly it's getting to see my friends every day, and always having a good time
with them. It's also really neat to become friends with people who don't even live
in your country!
Q. What is the most difficult aspect of Irish Dancing for you?
A. Because I spend most of my time dancing, I don't get to do a lot of other activities
with my school friends. Sometimes it's hard to miss out on these activities.
Q. Tell us about your family?
A. There are seven people in my family: my mom and dad; my sisters Emily and Grace,
and my brothers Andrew and Matthew — plus Tiger, our cat. Emily is 15 and goes to
Whitney Young High School. She's in the choir and loves opera. Grace is 10 and is in
fourth-grade at Sacred Heart. She enjoys playing soccer and basketball. Her twin
brother, Andrew, also is in fourth-grade at Sacred Heart. He plays many sports such
as basketball, soccer, and baseball. Matthew is six, and is in kindergarten at Sacred
Heart. He is the youngest in the family and likes to play many outdoor sports and
activities such as soccer and T-ball.
Q. Do you have a favorite anecdote or short story about your Irish
Dancing competitions?
A. It's always been a goal of mine to do well in Ireland (I have done well in the USA, but
not great overseas), and I have finally accomplished that goal. This year, I have worked
really hard and I'm glad it payed off. Taking top ten overseas is wonderful, and I keep
working hard so I will hopefully do well at the World Championships later this month!
Q. Where do you attend school, and what grade are you in?
A. I go to Sacred Heart Schools, and I am in seventh-grade.
Q. Do you have any other observations and comments?
A. I have been dancing for more than nine years, and I still love it. I have gone to two
different dance schools, and now currently attend The Mulhern School of Irish Dance.
The classes are in Westmont, Illinois, so it takes a while to get there. The classes are
great, and my teachers, Ms. Eileen and Ms. Coleen, have really helped me accomplish
my goals.

profits, and promoting individuals over total firm outcomes?
Mary Sullivan Josephs doesn’t think so! What would the work
environment look like if your company exhibited greater care about
each individual and not just the top layer of executives? What if you
and each employee had a stake in the game? What would the world
of work look like if you and others had greater retirement security?
And, in these risky times, what if you had job stability? Perhaps it is
the perfect time to explore a new business model.
Reservations: Join the Old St. Pat’s table to take advantage of the

The word on the street about today’s business and banking
environment is not laced with positive words and hope-filled
experiences. Employee downsizing continues. Work is slow.
Benefit packages are shrinking…again. Pension plans are becoming
non-existent. Resumes are up-to-date. Job security is shaky at best.
Friday afternoons can be dreadful.
Does it have to be that way? Is corporate creativity paralyzed by
“these economic times?” Is our banking system driven by short-term
For more than 25 years, Mary Sullivan Josephs has pioneered and
been a leader in Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). Often
poorly represented by media outlets, employees in ESOP companies
have greater job security, enjoy exponentially greater retirement
benefits, and have significantly greater retirement assets than
employees of non-ESOP companies. Our banks and tax policy both
aggressively encourage ESOPs. Only in America do business owners
have the opportunity to create such value for themselves, their
company, and their employees.
Ms. Josephs founded the leading ESOP practice for La Salle Bank —
executing up to $1 billion enterprise value in transactions annually.
To further promote ESOPs and employee ownership, Mary launched
her own investment bank, Evergreen Private Capital Advisors, LLC, in
the middle of this recession.
Mary Sullivan Josephs holds an MBA in Finance from the
University of Chicago, and continues to be one of the country’s
premier ESOP leaders.

Saint of the Week
Optional memorial of
Saint Toribio de Mogrovejo
(bishop, 1536 - 1606)
Even though he’s not wellknown in the United States,
St. Toribio was one of the first
canonized saints of the Western
Hemisphere. He was devoted
from a young age, but had no plans to become a
priest. He was a successful student, and became a
professor of law at the University of Salamanca.
In February 1571, although he was still a layman,
King Philip II appointed him the chief judge of the
ecclesiastical court of the Inquisition at Granada.
In 1580, when the authorities required an
archbishop of strong character to work to convert
the Peruvians of Lima, they selected Toribio. He
was horrified by this decision, and protested the
appointment. He was overruled, however, was
ordained a priest, consecrated bishop, and sent
across the Atlantic to Lima, Peru. Toribio had been
chosen because conditions in Peru were very grave.
The Spanish conquerors were so eager to make
themselves rich that they had forced the Peruvian
people into slavery to work in gold mines.
Upon his arrival, he was confronted with an
enormous diocese of 18,000 square-miles and came
into immediate conflict with the Spanish authorities
in their mistreatment of the native population.
Undaunted, he began his work, traversing his entire
diocese three times, generally on foot because there
were no roads. He was defenseless, often alone,
and was exposed to dangerous rainstorms, deserts,
wild beasts, tropical heat, and fevers.
All his life Toribio studied native languages so that
he could teach the people and understand their
situations. He baptized and confirmed nearly a
million souls, some of whom included Saint Rose of
Lima, Saint Francis Solanus, Saint Martin de Porres,
and Saint John Massias. He founded many
churches, religious houses, and hospitals, and, in
1591, founded the first American seminary in Lima.
He also assembled 13 diocesan synods. He was
traveling when he became fatally ill at age 68.
He asked to be carried into the nearest town so
that he could receive the Eucharist, and gave away
everything he owned to the poor before he died.
Adapted from “Companion to the Calendar”
by Mary Ellen Hynes.
