Proclaim Release to the Captives
Parish Social Mission Week: January 23 - 29
A form of justice that is humanizing and genuinely reconciliatory.
According to the Prison Policy Initiative more than
2.4 million Americans are locked behind bars (and
12 million cycle through local jails each year). At any
given time, some 6 million Americans are caught up
in the criminal justice system – if not behind bars,
then checking in with a parole officer who can send
them back to jail for the smallest of transgressions.
“I think that here is the great challenge that we must
all face, so that the measures taken against evil are
not limited to suppressing, discouraging and
isolating those who cause it, but instead help them
to rehabilitate, to re-embark upon the path of good,
to be authentic people who move on from their
miseries to become merciful themselves. Therefore,
the Church proposes a form of justice that is
humanizing, genuinely reconciliatory, a justice that
leads the wrongdoer, through an educative path of
encouraged penance, to rehabilitation and total
reinsertion in the community.”
Both Republicans and
Democrats campaigned
with “tough on crime”
language through the
1980s and 90s trying to
persuade voters that they
could make Americans
safer. As a result the
United States has the
highest incarceration rate
in the world. As the U.S.
Catholic Bishops point out
“African, Hispanic and
Native Americans are
often treated more harshly
than other citizens in their
encounters with the
criminal justice system (including police activity, the
handling of juvenile defendants, and prosecution and
sentencing).” There are more African-American men
caught up in the criminal justice system today than
were enslaved in 1850.
There are many aspects of criminal justice reform
that need to be addressed in order to take up the
challenge posed by our Church’s teaching. For our
parish social mission advocacy campaign we will
focus on juvenile justice. This month the Senate is
taking up the re-authorization of the Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). Among
other things this act requires states to keep youth
separated from adults prior to trial as well as in
prison. It invests in alternatives to incarceration and
provides youth support necessary for successful
rehabilitation and re-entry into their communities.
Support for JDDPA is an important part of
humanizing our justice system for youth. The Senate
bill for re-authorization is bill S.1169. The bill has
strong bi-partisan support and passed the Senate
Judiciary Committee with bi-partisan support.
(Senator Durbin is a co-sponsor of this bill.)
St. John Paul II spoke to the moral dimensions of
criminal justice when he said, “We are still a long
way from the time when our conscience can be
certain of having done everything possible to prevent
crime and control it effectively so that it no longer
does harm and, at the same time, to offer to those
who commit crimes a way of redeeming themselves
and making a positive return to society.”
On the weekend of January 23/24 we will
be inviting parishioners to sign postcards
asking Senator Mark Kirk to support
S.1169 when it comes up for a vote. To
learn more about the bill read the
background page in this week’s bulletin.
At the 19th Congress of the International Criminal
Law Association Pope Francis posed the challenge,

Background Summary of the
Juvenile Justice & Delinquency
Prevention Act (JJDPA)
S.1169
In April 2015, Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D- RI) co-sponsored
S.1169, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Reauthorization Act of 2015 (JJDPA). The bill has strong bipartisan support, including Senators Blumenthal
(D-CT), Blunt (R-MO), Coons (D-DE), Cornyn (R-TX), Durbin (D-IL), Feinstein (D-CA), Hatch (R-UT),
Klobuchar (D-MN), Leahy (D-VT), and Rubio (R-FL). It was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee
on July 23rd with support from both sides of the aisle and we call on the full Senate and House to approve the
bill this year.
JJDPA protects kids and promotes safer communities.
The federal support provided by the JJDPA is essential in ensuring that state
juvenile justice programs provide young people with the supports they need for
successful rehabilitation and re-entry into their communities. Federal support helps
states decrease the number of young people incarcerated in costly and dangerous
adult facilities where they are placed at severe risk of suicide, physical and sexual
abuse, recidivism and a lifetime of disconnection from education and work.
JJDPA needs to be updated to reflect new developments in
the field.
The JJDPA was last reauthorized by Congress in 2002. That means it does not
reflect many of the new developments in the field, including new adolescent
brain science research; the cost-effectiveness and improved outcomes from
trauma-informed, community-based approaches; and what we know works to
address the needs of youth of color and girls. By reauthorizing the JJDPA to
reflect new developments in the field, Congress will incentivize states to enact
bold, evidence-based reform efforts with public money.
JJDPA is Cost-Effective
Research shows that young people can be safely and successfully supported in
their communities for a lot less than it costs to lock them up. Estimates suggest that community-based
programs cost $75 per day in contrast to $241 per day for incarcerating a young person. In one study, more
than 8 out of 10 young people remained arrest-free and 9 out of 10 were at home after completing their
community-based program, at a cost that is a fraction of what it would have taken to incarcerate these youth.

Thank you for making
Christmas dreams come true.
This year our Christmas Giving Tree program provided gifts for approximately 100 households in
St. Nicholas Parrish and gift cards for approximately 100 households in Sacred Heart Parish.
Both of these immigrant parishes are in Aurora and are part of our Sharing Parishes.
The gifts that our parishioners donated were displayed in a “Christmas Store” put together by
St. Nicholas Parish. Families were invited to “shop” for gifts for each member of their family.
Some of the children whose Christmas was a little brighter because of you!

mind we can fabricate an endless

Got Forgiveness?
Our Call to Forgiveness and Mercy
Wednesday, February 17th
7:00 to 9:00PM
St. Margaret Mary Parish Church
Forgiveness is the hardest thing we are called to do, yet it is the essence of what Christ invites us to do as His
disciples. Join us for an interactive and engaging evening of reflection, music, and a ‘forgiveness rite.’ Using
contemporary Christian music videos, Scripture, personal stories, prayer, and a rite allowing us to “let go” of
hurt, we come to understand what Christ asks us to do: forgive others and forgive ourselves. This Lenten
presentation is for all ages and all people – single, couples, families, young, young at heart, old at heart….YOU.
The evening is facilitated by Rebecca Siar (our Echo Parish Apprentice
from the University of Notre Dame) and Deacon Joe Ferrari (SMMP).

Reflection on Lectionary Readings
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 17th
Do what he tells you to do!
Hosting any celebration can be stressful. We want to show hospitality to our guests so they return to their lives when the party is
over fulfilled and in a pleasant state. So, we can understand if
someone runs out of food or DRINK before the party (like a wedding) is over.

of God at Hand
Speaker: Kate Devries, D. Min.
Wednesday, February 10
9:15 to 11:15 am
COR Center
Today’s readings touch on a number of themes around hospitality.
Isaiah tells us that God takes our painful past and turns it to joy.
We leave his party happy and joyful; just see the joy around you.
We are a people who will not be left desolate, forsaken – but rejoicing. St. Paul reminds us that we have an abundance of gifts
meant to be shared through hospitality.
The Holy Spirit calls us to use our varied gifts to help the community. If we are open to God, if we move toward an intimate relationship with Jesus (like that between a wife and husband), we
become open to our gifts and we see the gifts of others.
John’s Gospel tells of the hospitality at a Cana Wedding. In the
time of Jesus, Palestinians focused on hospitality and the first time
we witness a miracle by Jesus it is at a public wedding celebration. It would be painful for the wedding couple if they run out of
wine; instead, with Jesus to help, we see we can turn any ordinary
item (like water) into something so much more (like wine) ~ if we
are open to His gifts.
The wedding in Cana is the last time we hear Mary speak in all
Gospel accounts. Only twice does Jesus call His mother “woman”
– once here at a public celebration, and then at the foot of His
cross at the crucifixion.
And from this story we learn how to PRAY for Mary’s assistance
in times of need: Have a problem? bring it to Mary (like the headwaiter at the wedding); What will she do for you? bring the problem to Jesus; What does she ask us to do? do whatever He says.
Be open to what God tells us; use our gifts to help others. Turn to
Mary to help in life’s struggles, and do what Jesus asks. Like in a
marriage, hold fidelity sacred. Be faithful to God, and he will be
faithful to us.

Is the Kingdom of God at Hand?
The kingdom of God was at the heart
of Jesus’ mission and ministry, but
what exactly was he talking about,
and what does it mean for us
today? Author/Publisher Greg Pierce
defines the kingdom of God as “The
Christian way of talking about the
world as it should be.” Kate will lead
us through a look at kingdom living,
as well as how we might embrace and
build the kingdom every day.
