EASTER: SEEING WITH THE EYES OF LOVE
BY FR. TOM HURLEY
I think it is safe to assume that most of us have
our favorite authors; writers whose style and
ability to compose ideas and stories we find
attractive and enlightening. In the world of
theology, as in pretty much any of our individual
academic or vocational disciplines, we have our
favorites as well. Admittedly, the other day, in
anticipation of getting some thoughts together
Fr. Tom Hurley
for this year’s Easter celebration, I felt kind of
stuck. Not a lot of ideas were entering my noggin with respect to
the Easter message this year. So I did what most of us would do:
I Googled one of my favorites. I am so glad I did. He is a prolific
author and his insights into the Gospel are rich with relevant
thoughts, provocative imagery, and meaningful metaphor. He is
highly regarded in the world of theology.
I am withholding his name for a reason because there was a sad
twist in all of this for me. As I sat at my computer Googling his
name and searching for potentially the best entry on which to
“click,” I could not help but notice that among the many entries
associated with his name, one of them was under the heading:
The Heresy Hunters. Curious as to what “The Heresy Hunters” was
all about (although I had a sneaking suspicion), I “clicked” onto
their website and immediately an article from this favorite
theologian came up and after almost every sentence in this
particular article of “my favorite,” there was a commentary with
some of the most arrogant theological “correcting” I have ever read.
“They” shredded his article “up and down” and left absolutely no
room for any saving grace in his theological ideas, let alone his
person. According to “them,” everything was wrong and nothing
was right with respect to this accomplished theologian and his
theological thoughts. Obviously “The Heresy Hunters” are not as
fond of my favorite theologian as I guess I am.
I guess the saddest parts of websites like those are the “blog”
entries at the bottom of the page. Wow, it is incredible how vicious
people can be. I probably wasted too much time sitting at my desk
being disappointed as I read some of the most negative, vile
comments people were making about an individual, calling into
question his abilities as a priest, his questionable identity as a
Catholic, and ultimately his worthiness of being a Christian.
When done anonymously, as most blogs are, it is amazing how
cruel people can be as they see only through the lens of negativity,
criticism, and judgment. Even the name of their website
makes me cringe.
What perhaps is even more ironic in all of this is that I found an
article my “hero” wrote a couple of years ago with respect to Easter.
At the heart of his deeply spiritual insight is the fact that the only
2
way we experience the Resurrection is if we see with the eyes of love.
Basing his reflections off of St. John’s Easter Morning Gospel, this
favorite theologian wrote: “God never overpowers, never twists arms,
never pushes your face into something so as to take away your
freedom... Jesus’ rising from the dead was not a brute slap in the
face to his critics, a non-negotiable fact that left skeptics with
nothing to say. The resurrection did not make a big splash. It was
not some spectacular event that exploded into the world as the
highlight on the evening news. After he rose from the dead, Jesus
was seen by some, but not by others; understood by some, but not by
others. Some got his meaning and it changed their lives, others
were indifferent to him, and still others understood what had
happened, hardened their hearts against it, and tried to destroy its
truth... Why the difference? What makes some see the resurrection
while others do not? What lets some understand the mystery and
embrace it, while others are left in indifference or hatred? When we
look at anything through the eyes of love, we see correctly,
understand, and properly appropriate its mystery. The reverse is
also true. When we look at anything through eyes that are jaded,
cynical, jealous, or bitter, we will not see correctly, will not
understand, and will not properly appropriate its mystery.”
This favored theologian of mine spoke further of the characters
involved in John’s Easter story: like Mary of Magdala who goes with
spices in hand and finds an empty tomb and runs to tell others what
she discovered. Peter and the Beloved Disciple run to the tomb and
their experience is so different: one sees and is perplexed; the other
sees through the lens of love and he “gets it!”
How do we look at Easter this year? When we see with the eyes
of love, the Resurrection becomes possible for us. When we open
ourselves to the thoughts and ideas of others, despite our
differences, we see all that is possible. Easter is not about seeing
what we want to see; it is about removing the blindness of our
jaded attitudes in order to see and experience again and again the
brilliance of Resurrection: the possibility of life, of hope, of love
coming forth from tombs once sealed (minds and hearts that are
closed) and experiencing the mysteries of God all around us.
As we give thanks on this Easter for open tombs, may we ask God
to help us open our minds, our hearts, and our eyes to see how we
have been blessed and more importantly to see the work of justice
and peace that lies before us.
Happy Easter!
Thank you for being here today at Old St. Patrick’s Church.

A WAKENINGS
“I’M JEALOUS...”
BY TERRY NELSON-JOHNSON
I have had the privilege of being
associated with the RCIA program,
and subsequently with the Easter
Vigil for the last eleven years.
I cannot recall a single one of those
Vigil celebrations where I did not
hear the following declaration
uttered at least once:
Terry Nelson-Johnson
“I’m Jealous...”
The specific targets of the jealousy were invariably those
members of the “RCIA Class” who had just been baptized.
Specifically, the impetus for the more acute or serious
jealousy was usually the person whose baptism most closely
resembled a drenching, and who, in the immediate wake of
the drench emitted a palpable sense of Wonder, Delight,
Innocence, Surprise... Birth/New Life.
On the one hand, it seems to me that the jealousy is well
founded because; honestly, who amongst us couldn’t go for a
good old-fashioned Drenching — Drenching from which we
emerge emitting a palpable sense of Wonder, Delight,
Innocence, Surprise... Birth/New Life? On the other hand, the
jealousy is not really necessary because the Proclamation of
Easter is that we are All Invited to be Drenched! Wonder,
Delight, Innocence, Surprise and Birth/New Life are available
to each of us.. Now... Today... This Minute. We need only avail
ourselves to the waters of Baptism—We have to allow
ourselves to be Drenched!
If this prospect of being Drenched — of coming to know
Wonder, Delight, Innocence, Surprise Birth/New Life again,
as though for the first time sounds intriguing, we especially
invite you to consider joining us for the upcoming Beloved
Retreat. See below for more information and to register.
Terry Nelson-Johnson is Director of Adult Faith Formation at
Old St. Patrick’s Church.
The Beloved Retreat helps us to rediscover what often
eludes us, but what God wants us to know —that we are
Beloved. We offer an open and inclusive environment in a
quiet, pastoral setting where you can explore your
relationship with God. The retreat is held three times annually at the
University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, IL. Throughout the year,
past participants have the opportunity to gather for a Legacy dinner, an
annual Afternoon of Reflection, and summertime picnic festivities.

C OMMUNITY FAITH F ORMATION
THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE: LOVE THOSE WHO OPPOSE US
BY RON ROLHEISER, OMI
Lorenzo Rosebaugh, an Oblate colleague
shot to death in Guatemala two years ago,
used to share at Oblate gatherings some
advice that Daniel Berrigan once gave him.
Lorenzo, contemplating an act of civil
disobedience to protest the Vietnam war,
Ron Rolheiser, OMI was told by Berrigan: If you can’t do this
without becoming bitter, then don’t do it!
Do it only if you can do it with a mellow heart! Do it only if you
can be sure you won't end up hating those who arrest you!
That’s hard to do; but, in the end, it’s the ultimate challenge,
namely, to not hate those who oppose us, to not hate our
enemies, to continue to have gracious and forgiving hearts in the
face of misunderstanding, bitter
I consider this to opposition, jealousy, anger, hatred,
positive mistreatment, and even the
be the greatest
threat of death.
challenge of my
life morally and
humanly. How to
love an enemy...
And to be a disciple of Jesus means
that, at some point, we will be
hated. We will make enemies. It
happened to Jesus and he assured
us that it will happen to us.
But he also left us the ultimate example of how we need to
respond to our enemies. When scripture tells us that Jesus saved
the people from their sins, it doesn’t just mean that in offering
his death to his father as a sacrifice in one eternal act he took
away our sins. It also points to his way of living and how, as he
demonstrated, forgiving and loving one's enemies take away sin,
by absorbing it. Jesus’ great act of love, as Kierkegaard once said,
is meant to be imitated not just admired.
But how do we do this? It seems that we don't know how to love
our enemies, that we don't have the strength to forgive. We
preach it as an ideal and naively believe that we are doing it.
But, for the most part, we aren’t. We really don't love and forgive
those who oppose us. Too often we are distrustful, disrespectful,
bitter, demonizing, and (metaphorically speaking) murderous
towards each other. If there is much love and forgiveness of
enemies in our lives, it’s far from evident, both in our world and
in our churches. As Ronald Knox once said, as Christians, we
have never really taken seriously Jesus’ challenge to love our
enemies and to turn the other check.
I say this sympathetically. We need help. The old saying is true:
To err is human, to forgive is divine. So how do we start?
loving and forgiving in the face of opposition! Next, we need to
highlight this inadequacy and the importance of this failure in our
preaching and teaching. Loving our enemies is the real moral and
religious litmus test! We don't have a right to call anyone a
“cafeteria Christian” or a compromised follower of Christ unless,
first of all, we, ourselves, are persons who are gracious, respectful,
loving, and forgiving in the face of anyone who opposes us. Let’s
start, all of us, from this humble place of admittance: We aren’t
very much like Jesus in the face of opposition.
Then, perhaps most important of all, we need to seek each
other’s help, akin to the dynamics of an Alcoholics’ Anonymous
meeting. Alone we haven't the strength to love those who hate us.
We need grace and community, God’s power and others’ support,
to retain the most difficult of all sobrieties, that is, to walk within
a steady strength that enables us to remain warm, gracious,
forgiving, loving, and joyful in the face of misunderstanding,
jealousy, opposition, bitterness, threat, and murder.
Speaking personally, I consider this to be the greatest challenge
of my life, morally and humanly. How to love an enemy: How do I
not let a jealous glance freeze my heart? How do I not let a bitter
word ruin my day? How do I not demonize others when they
oppose me? How do I remain sympathetic when I’m
misunderstood? How do I remain warm in the face of bitterness?
How do I not give in to paranoia when I feel threatened? How do
I forgive someone who doesn’t want my forgiveness? How do I
stop myself from slamming the door of my heart in the face of
coldness and rejection? How do I forgive others when my own
heart is bitter in self-pity? How do I really love and forgive as
Jesus did?
I often wonder how Jesus did it. How did he retain peace of
mind, warmth in his heart, graciousness in his speech, joy in his
life, resiliency in his efforts, the capacity to be grateful, and a
sense of humor in the face of misunderstanding, jealousy,
hatred, and death threats?
He did it by recognizing that this was, singularly, the most
important challenge of his life and mission, and, under the
weight of that imperative, by falling on his knees to ask
for the help of the One who can do in us what we can't
do for ourselves.

Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, is president of the
Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas.

our helplessness, individually and as churches. We aren’t very

NEW CHURCH ELEVATOR AND COURTYARD
We are delighted to announce that construction for the new church elevator will begin in the Summer of 2011. When Old St. Patrick’s
Church was restored in the 1990’s, one of the ways of making this historic building accessible for men and women with physical
challenges was to install a
personal lift. This lift is no longer
capable of meeting our needs.
Old St. Patrick’s has embarked on
a campaign to install a real,
commercial elevator for this
historic building. This is a special
community devoted to the
expression of “great church”
and, therefore, we need to make
sure all are welcome and have
access to the worship space.
As we all know there is no
good time to be inaccessible.
Once construction begins, the
personal lift/elevator, accessing
the Church and Church Hall, will
NOT be accessible through
October 1, 2011. We apologize for
the inconvenience. Upon
completion, the Cloister
Walk/Courtyard will be
transformed into a beautiful and
engaging space, accessible to all.
This is a costly, but necessary
expense. As a result, Old St. Pat’s
members are asked to prayerfully
consider making a one-time gift
of $150 or more to this urgent
project. Please contact
Kate Rhodes at 312.798.2338, or
[email protected], for more
information. We are indeed
grateful for your support.
Please check the website,
www.oldstpats.org, for
monthly updates on the
progress of this critical project.

Welcome to this Easter Celebration!
We extend a warm welcome to all of our guests today, and offer an
invitation of encouragement to join us again next week and throughout
the year. We’d love for you to participate in the life-giving energy and
joyous companionship found at Old St. Patrick’s Church. A special thank
you to the members of Old St. Pat’s whose spirit, vitality and generosity
touch the lives of so many beyond this community.
Will you consider a special Easter gift which supports the meaningful
programs and ministries sustained at Old St. Patrick’s Church?
For those generous members who use a form of Sunday pledging to
contribute weekly or monthly, please note that your annual pledge does
not include Easter Sunday. We ask everyone to please consider an
additional, special gift to Old St. Patrick’s Church this Easter Sunday.
For our visitors and friends, we delight in your participation during these
holy days and hope you will also consider sharing a special gift with
Old St. Pat’s. Your generosity continues to make this faith sharing
experience welcoming and relevant for all. We hope you will continue to
grace this community with your presence and generosity as we continue
to transform our faith into action.
Happy Easter!
PASTORAL CARE MINISTRY
The Pastoral Care ministry endeavors to closely follow and imitate Jesus, the man
who accompanied and was elegantly present to people in need, hurt or alone.
At Old St. Pat’s we understand that “sometimes our members cannot come to us,
we must go to them.” To us this means that sometimes, we most effectively
reach a desperately frustrated world, when we offer compassionate presence by
entering into another’s arena, listening to another’s story, and responding to
another’s need. As a Church, we host a number of pastoral ministries to
accompany our members and all members are welcome to participate in
these ministries.
On the second Tuesday of each month, members of the Ministry of Prayer gather
to intimately attend to the prayers of our membership. Together, we pray and
send cards to those prayed for. We contact members to see how we might offer a compassionate presence during difficult times.
Our Ministry of Care members visit and bring the Eucharist to those who cannot come to Church because they are hospitalized or
homebound. Our Small Group Ministries support those grieving the loss of a loved one or a divorce. These small intimate settings offer a
safe place where members come together in mutual support and learn that their feelings are normal and that they need not be alone.
If you know someone who would benefit from prayer, a weekly home visit, or companionship during the illness of a family member or
loss of a relationship, please contact Bernadette Moore Gibson, Director of Pastoral Care Ministry, at 312.798.2358, or
[email protected].

TOPIC & SPEAKER
“That’s Prayer!? Learning, Practicing, and
Reflecting upon Different Methods of Prayer”
Fr. Paul O’Connor, S.J.
Associate Pastor, Old St. Patrick’s Church
LOCATION & COORDINATORS
Carmelite Spiritual Center
8433 Bailey Road, Darien, IL 630.969.4141
Mary Kay Slowikowski at [email protected],
or Ken Martin at [email protected].
Fr. Paul O’Connor, S.J., has been practicing a variety of Christian prayer methods during his past 12 years as a Jesuit.
Fr. Paul has been a trained spiritual director for eight years, and he has directed a variety of people in prayer and
Ignatian Spirituality. With his background of seven years as a high school teacher, six years of graduate studies in
philosophy and theology, and his personal experience of prayer and spiritual direction, you will definitely walk away
from this experience refreshed, enlightened, and ready to deepen your relationship with God in new ways.
During the course of the coming year, you will hear
more about the Church’s Liturgy, commonly known
to us as the Sunday Mass. What you will be
hearing, if you have not heard already, is that the
Church has made some pretty significant
alterations to the language and words of the
English translation to the Mass. While the “rites”
will stay the same, the words we say at Mass are
going to change, beginning Advent, 2011. There
are many questions being raised as to why and
what this all means for us as a Catholic
community. Well, one of the many blessings we
have at Old St. Pat’s is found in the person of
Fr. Edward Foley, who is a professor of liturgical
theology at Catholic Theological Union in Hyde
Park. Besides being a former teacher of mine,
Ed is a weekend presider at Old St. Pat’s and one
of the best preachers in town and has agreed to
host a three-part series of presentations related to
the new Mass. I am most grateful to Ed for
offering this informative and relevant series at
Old St. Pat’s. Please join us!

Theological and Pastoral Reflections
with Fr. Ed Foley
Session Three:
“Our Pastoral Response”
Sunday, May 1, 10:45 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Old St. Pat’s Church Hall, 700 W. Adams, Chicago
So that we may offer you our best hospitality, please R.S.V. P. to 312.648.1021 by
Wednesday, April 27.
In our final session, we will explore how this new translation provides an
opportunity for faith communities to reconsider how Liturgy is at the very center of
the life of a faith community. This “pastoral response” will include strategic
suggestions for the exploration and implementation of the new translation of the
Roman Missal.
Edward Foley, Capuchin is the Duns Scotus Professor of Spirituality and Professor of
Liturgy and Music at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. With 19 books to his
credit, he is currently serving as general editor for a scholarly commentary on the new
Order of Mass to be published by the Liturgical Press. We at Old St. Patrick’s Church
are delighted Fr. Foley is a regular guest presider and preacher at our Sunday Liturgies.

MARRIAGE MINISTRY
At Old St. Pat’s, each wedding is
considered a very personal event.
A wedding is one of those rare
moments in life when you gather
with all the people you cherish
and, in so doing, express what it
means to be in love. Consequently,
your wedding ceremony is much
more than the exchange of vows
and the giving of rings. It is a
sacrament filled with music,
symbols, family, friends, and the
rich tradition of our faith.

FAMILY MINISTRY
Family Ministry at Old St. Patrick's Church provides quality
opportunities for families to grow in faith together. Recognizing the
definition of a family takes many forms and is experienced in varied
ways, at different moments in our lives, we strive to address the
needs of families holistically. Families are an integral component of
our lives and our communities. The common denominator is that all of
us are members of God’s family. Together as one family with Jesus
Christ, we will grow in understanding and appreciation of faith life
while enriching our own families. In response:
♥ We resolve to provide family-based faith through our worship,
formation, our greater faith community and service to all
our neighbors.
♥ We commit to reach out to all families, and strive to create
opportunities for family-shared faith experiences.
♥ We strive to provide reflection on all our family experiences
through time dedicated to children of all ages, parents, spouses
and grandparents.
Under the Family Ministry umbrella,
we have the following concentrations:
♥ Adoption Group;
♥ Altar Server Program;
♥ Baptismal Preparation Program;
♥ Children’s Liturgy of the Word;

OLD ST. PAT’S YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY
Old St. Pat’s Young Adult Ministry is dedicated to helping young adults (single or married) grow in relationship with God, with the church community,
and with one another. Each year, our ministry to young adults includes prayer experiences, retreats, faith-sharing groups, social and service
opportunities, and opportunities to contribute to the larger Old St. Pat’s and Catholic Church community. We look to the creative energy of young
adults to continually develop and expand our programming to suit the “signs of the times” and the needs of young adults in and around Chicago.
If you are interested in learning more about young adult ministry events and programs at Old St. Pat’s or if you would like to help take part in the
leadership and planning of these events, please contact Keara Coughlin, Director of Young Adult Ministry, at [email protected], or 312.798.2328.

FOUNDATIONS YOUTH MINISTRY
Foundations Youth Ministry is committed to fostering fellowship, spirituality, and service with the teens of Old St. Pat’s in building the Kingdom of
God in our world. The program is comprised of high school students from a variety of high schools in and around Chicagoland. Foundations meets
most Sunday mornings throughout the school year. Additional days are dedicated toward teens’ participation in service projects, Lock-Ins, Retreats,
Summer Worktours, and many other fun events. Registration is always open, and Young Adult leaders and chaperones are needed to volunteer for
this important ministry!
The BluePrints Experience is faith formation designed for 8th graders following the sacrament of Confirmation. Prior to joining Foundations Youth
Ministry in high school, teens in BluePrints bring to life the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The program deepens the knowledge and the participation
of the Confirmation process through real-life service experiences and opportunities to build lasting friendships. Just as in any construction process,
builders need blueprints before they can lay the foundation! Eighth graders of all faiths are welcome.
Old St. Pat’s College Ministry was created by and for college members of Old St. Pat’s who want to be connected to their home church throughout
their college years. The goal of Old St. Pat’s College Ministry is to aid in the spiritual, social, and service interests of Old St. Pat’s college-age
members as well as those from the surrounding area. By being involved in College Ministry, young adults during their post-high school years can get
involved in the Summer Worktour (this year to Detroit), Back to School Mass and Dinner, Thanksgiving Turkey Brunch, Christmas and Spring service
projects, and other fun events and fundraisers while they are home. College Ministry hopes to expand in the coming years by building a bridge into
Young Adult Ministry and gathering strong adults to mentor college students after graduation
Please contact Becky Terlep at 312.798.2329, or [email protected] for more information or to enroll in any of the above ministries.
Foundations Worktour
The mission of the Foundations summer service trips (Worktours) is to serve
in an area through volunteering while developing an understanding of the
social justice issues of the region. Since 2006, Foundations teens and
leaders have participated in 11 service trips to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi,
West Virginia, Nicaragua, South Dakota, Texas, Kentucky, New York, New
Orleans, Detroit, and Birmingham. During these trips we have studied issues
surrounding poverty, the coal mining industry, Native American history, civil rights,
immigration, and housing. While on Worktour, teens volunteer, live in community with one another, share in nightly devotions, and
come to better know themselves and God through their experiences. In order to make these trips possible, it takes a great deal of fundraising.
The success we have enjoyed has been in large part from the support we have received from the Old St. Pat’s community.
2011 Foundations Worktours:
New Orleans
Participants will volunteer with the
St. Bernard Project, located in St. Bernard
Parish, as part of Foundations’ ongoing
commitment to return to the areas devastated
by Hurricane Katrina to aid in recovery and
rebuilding efforts. This will be the group’s
fourth time to the affected area, and their
second time helping in New Orleans. The
mission of the St. Bernard Project is to create
housing opportunities so that Hurricane
Katrina survivors can return to their homes.
Virginia
Participants will serve with Project HELP
(Housing Enterprise for Low-Income People) in
Dungannon, VA. Project HELP is dedicated to
providing safe, warm, dry, and affordable
housing for low and moderate income families
in Scott County. While in Appalachia, teens
will work to rehab homes and other similar
projects. They will also have opportunities to
learn about rural living and the economics of a
small town.
Washington, D.C.
Participants will partner with The Steinbruck
Center for Urban Studies at Luther Place
Church, an organization that informs others
about homelessness and education by
exploring issues of social justice via faith
and service. While in D.C., teens will
meet with elected officials, tour a variety
of D.C. educational institutions, and
serve in areas related to children and
adult education.
Is your to-do list doing you in? We’ve got a crew that can bail you out on Sunday, May 29!
On May 29, hire the experienced teens from Old St. Patrick’s Foundations Youth Ministry and
get your to-do list done. They can help get your house and yard summer ready in no time, or
get you organized for that community garage sale. You supply the project and materials, and
Foundations teens and parents supply the labor. Proceeds benefit this summer’s Foundations
Worktours! To reserve a crew, visit www.oldstpats.org/foundationsworkday.

Encore Rediscovers the Treasures of Old St. Patrick’s — Our “Spiritual Home”
On Thursday, April 7, 2011, the rectory of Old St. Patrick’s Church glowed with warmth and
hospitality as 40 people gathered in the rectory for a pre-tour wine and cheese reception. Old St.
Pat’s members, relatives, friends, neighbors, classmates and some knowledge seekers engaged in
animated conversations about their own histories of discovering Old St. Pat’s as well as their current
and future plans for involvement.
Following this brief reception, participants were led through a hallway connecting the rectory to the church where
they listened spellbound to Jim McLaughlin describe, with great eagerness, the rich history of Old St. Patrick’s
Church. Jim, a docent at Old St. Pat’s for the past ten years, enthusiastically and energetically shared what he knew
about this magnificent place. He included stories of his personal encounters with the O’Shaughnessy family and
some of the research he had done to learn about the various
techniques used in creating the artwork in the church.
What was a forty-five minute tour, seemed much shorter, and
ended much too soon. Jim McLaughlin revealed the riches of
Old St. Pat’s as a “spiritual home.”
To learn more about Encore and their activities, please
visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.
Jim McLaughlin, (left), docent, shared his knowledge
of Old St. Patrick’s history with an eager audience.

Because of contractual arrangements with
the Union League Club, once your reservation

you cannot attend. The dress code at the
Union League Club is business casual for men
and women, no jeans or tennis shoes.
In the ancient history of the 1960s, Pete Seeger sang about
those “ticky-tacky boxes” as a social comment about
conformist middle-class attitudes found in suburbia. In many
ways in today’s social, religious and business climate those
ticky-tacky boxes are not about conformity as much as they are
about fencing in each of those three segments of life. They are
all so different. They have little in common. Keep religion in
church. Do business in the market place. Let the do-gooders
deal with the social problems. Today they are boxes to
separate, not complement.
The First Friday Club is a lunch for current and past business
people—not a business lunch. It is concerned about building
bridges not building higher fences. Can we live a valued life in
a profit driven world. Does the activity of God have any place
in our lives Monday through Saturday? Can we take
responsibility for and dream about building a better world? Is
what we see all we will ever get?
John Cusick was ordained a Catholic priest on May 13, 1970.
Presently, he is Director of the Office of Young Adult Ministry,
the Catholic Church’s outreach to those in their 20’s and 30s,
both married and single. The office is located at Old St.
Patrick’s Church, where he also presides at Sunday Mass. In
1985 Fr. Cusick gathered people together to form The First
Friday Club of Chicago, based on the highly successful
First Friday Club of Cleveland, Ohio.

Book of Patrick
In Remembrance and Celebration...
Recently, you may have taken a picture to capture a
moment, or sent a sympathy card in remembrance of a
loved one who has passed. Have you ever considered a
perpetual rememberance for your loved ones? During our
celebration of Easter, we call to mind those individuals who provided us with
unconditional love and fill us with new life.
The Book of Patrick provides a perpetual remembrance for an individual
on a designated date you select. We invite you to honor those individuals
who have touched your life in one way or another by remembering them at
Mass on a specific date each year. In addition to being recognized in
The Crossroads bulletin and during the Mass, these individuals will also be
remembered each year in the Book of Patrick, located in the southeast
corner of the church. We kindly request a donation of $100 for each
individual remembered, which supports the capital needs of Old St. Patrick’s.
If you would like more information, or if you have questions concerning the
Book of Patrick, please contact Bridget Evers at 312.831.9368, or

Saturday
Acts 4:13-21/
Mk 16:9-15
St. Peter Chanel
(1803-1841)
Anyone who has
worked in loneliness
and with little
apparent success,
will find a kindred
spirit in Peter Chanel.
As a young priest he revived a parish in a "bad"
district by simply showing great devotion to the
sick. Wanting to be a missionary, he joined the
Society of Mary (Marists) at 28. Obediently, he
taught in the seminary for five years. Then, as
superior of seven Marists, he traveled to Western
Oceania where he was entrusted with a vicariate.
The bishop accompanying the missionaries left
Peter and a brother on Futuna Island in the New
Hebrides, promising to return in six months. He
was gone five years.
Throughout his time there, Pedro struggled with
this new language and mastered it. Adjusting to
life with whalers, traders and warring natives
proved challenging for him—but he persisted.
Despite little apparent success and severe want,
he maintained a serene and gentle spirit and
endless patience and courage. A few natives had
been baptized, a few more were being instructed.
When the chieftain's son asked to be baptized,
persecution by the chieftain reached a climax.
Father Chanel was clubbed to death.
Within two years after his death, the whole island
became Catholic and has remained so. Peter
Chanel is the first martyr of Oceania and its patron.
