The Psalm and its Place in the Liturgy of the Word
Modern technology – a blessing and sometimes a curse! One weekend during the summer, the microphone
plugs in the music area, where the song leader normally stands, became inoperative. Our sound technician
was not available to come and solve the problem until the following Tuesday. This struck me as the perfect opportunity for the cantor to move to the ambo in order to sing the Responsorial Psalm. In many parishes, this practice is nothing new. Obviously I had some concerns. Would our cantors feel comfortable
with this change, which requires them to cross over to the opposite side of the sanctuary? Would our
lectors take this as an infringement on their turf? We decided to give it a try, and the overall reaction has
been positive.
The Psalms, also Sacred Scripture, are considered an integral part of the Liturgy of the Word, allowing
the assembly, time to reflect and then respond to what has been heard in the first reading. It also prepares
us for what will follow in the second reading and Gospel. Quite often there might be one key word in the
refrain of the psalm, such as mercy, thanks, love, light, shepherd, and the list goes on, which captures the
poetic essence of the psalm for the day. The liturgical documents “Sing to the Lord” and the General
Instruction on the Roman Missal clearly state that the Psalm should be proclaimed from the ambo whenever possible, or another suitable place. There is a distinction made here between the Psalm and other
hymns or songs that are sung during the Liturgy, which do not hold the same liturgical significance. In
cases when the Psalm is recited rather than sung, it is proclaimed by the lector rather than the cantor. If
these liturgical roles are understood, and the lectors and cantors know they are sharing their ministries to
proclaim the Word of God, there will not be a divide among the two ministers
.
There are still times when a small group of singers will proclaim the verses of the Psalm together, and it
is not practical for them to be crowded around the ambo. Therefore this practice is most likely to occur
when there is an individual cantor in front of church, or if the cantor is singing verses in dialogue with
the choir or another cantor in the rear gallery.
On another note, the Catholic Church will celebrate a milestone anniversary on December 3, 2013. This
is the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council’s “Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy” or as it is
called in Latin “Sacrosanctum Cocilium,” the milestone event which transformed how we celebrate the
Eucharist. Perhaps this is a prime opportunity to consider where we are with the idea of full, conscious,
and active participation by all involved in the celebration of the liturgy. How does our baptism constantly
challenge us to take part through our participation in this wondrous gift of the Eucharist? Is our participation
external or internal, or a combination of both? Food for thought!

CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Alleluia! We now have the four leaders we need to begin
having Children’s Liturgy of the Word each week at the 10:30
Mass. We will begin on October 6. Children ages 4 and older
are invited to come up, be blessed and sent out to hear God’s
Word (the readings) on their level of understanding and have
discussion/activities to help them learn. They then return to
church at the Preparation of the Gifts. No need to register for
this. Encourage your children to participate.
School News
Say Cheese! Picture day for JK 7th grades will be on Tuesday, September 24th. This is an out-of–uniform day so
please have your child(ren) dressed in nice clothes and have their smiles ready for the camera.
There will be Catholic High School reps visiting the school on Tuesday, Sept. 24 th starting at 9:30 am. This is a
great opportunity for both 7th and 8th graders to gather information about the various high schools and meet with
the reps to answer any questions.
Don’t forget to sell that Gift Wrap! The wrapping paper is the best and several gifts and candy are also
offered. Think ahead for Birthdays and Christmas and look over the delicious candies and gifts that are offered for
purchase. Your orders are placed on line and will be delivered to school (do not pay more to have them shipped
to your home). The sale ends Monday, September 24th.
No School on Friday September 27th for a Teacher In Service Day. Have a great long weekend
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
Today we celebrate Catechetical Weekend with a special blessing of our catechists/teachers at the 5:00 Saturday Mass and 10:30 Sunday
Mass. Our thanks to all who share their faith, including parents who are the most important catechists for their children.
Last Sunday’s Newcomers Brunch was lovely, attended by some of our new religious education families and hosted by members of our
Religious Education Board. Our thanks to Lisa Centner and Dana Crumley for baking and putting on a delicious spread and to Chris Lolli for
joining the welcomers.
Parents of all 1st Communion and Confirmation Students are expected to attend a Parent Meeting tomorrow evening (Monday) at
7:00-8:30 PM in the Parish Center. Our presenter is Dr. Terry Nelson Johnson, director of Faith Formation at Old St. Pat’s, who will speak
on the topic “Sacraments are…” Even if you’ve heard him in prior years, come and hear him again and be surprised at new insights and
stories.
Our 3rd grade classes will attend next Sunday’s 9:00 Mass as a class. They will be sitting up front on the lector side. Each week of class
another grade will be attending the 9:00 Mass in church, instead of celebrating Mass in the gym as we’ve done for the past many years.
Have a good week.

Fellow Lectors,
It’s time for our Sacred Heart Lector Refresher program. We’ll offer sessions on Tuesday October 1st & 8th, Thursday October 3rd
& 10th evenings at 6:30 pm or Saturday October 5th & 12th at 11am (provided there are no funerals). Everyone is REQUIRED to
attend TWO sessions. During the sessions, each of us will be recorded reading the pre-assigned reading (after practicing at
home). After all are finished, we will review the recordings and comment, positively and critically, on each of our reading
skills. Please bear in mind, these sessions and comments are not to be taken personally; the only goal is to improve everyone's
proclamation of the Word. In addition, we will review the choreography of the Mass with respect to where and when we should be
in the vicinity of the altar. Oftentimes there have been occasions when awkward moments have occurred, or when things could
have flowed more smoothly.
All of this, fellow lectors, is to improve the experience for Sacred Heart parishioners, and to improve the innate abilities of Sacred
Heart's lectors. When we instituted this program at Holy Name Cathedral (my previous parish), there were some issues that
some lectors had: "I have been here for years and don't need this" or "Who’s to say what is correct or incorrect in one's lecturing," etc. However, when this refresher program was rolled out, it was very rewarding to all and I was amazed at how helpful it
became. It helped most of us improve on our lecturing skills, choreography, etc. I’m sure you’ll find the program interesting. The
bottom line is: everyone is able to improve, and everyone should be able to improve. I hope that all of our Lector team will pitch
in, attend the mandatory sessions, and strive to improve the experience for all who attend Mass here at Sacred Heart Parish. My
phone is 847.446.8582 for anyone that wants to contact me directly.
To register please go to the Sacred Heart website under the Lector Refresher Course. At the bottom of the page click on “sign up
here”. You will be directed to Sign Up Genius where you can choose the dates for your session.
Many Thanks,
Trip Lane
OKTOBERFEST MESSAGE
The Germans have a special word for it “Ge`müt lich keit”: comfortableness or friendliness. In the small Bavarian
villages where my relatives have introduced me to their friends and neighbors it really means “inclusiveness” or
“belonging.” So I have found it very interesting that these smaller German villages do not have a dramatic decline
at their Sunday Masses attendance as do the larger population centers. Why – I think it’s their “Gemütlichkeit”:
the same neighbors you party with are the ones you pray with! “Gemütlichkeit” forms community!
Gemütlichkeit is the whole idea behind Sacred Heart’s Oktoberfest. It is the comfortable feeling of belonging to a
neighborhood and to a community and to a parish. So please make plans to join us on Saturday Sept 28th for
entertainment, food and beer and fun for the whole family.
Invite your friends and neighbors, even if they’re not Catholic!
~ Fr. Bob
Initial Just Harvest "Stock the
Pantry" Drive A Success
Thanks to parishioners who generously
donated to our initial "Stock the Pantry
Drive" for our friends at the Just Harvest
Community Kitchen.
Each month, Just Harvest
(ajustharvest.org) serves 5,000 hot
dinners to our Rogers Park neighbors.
Our pantry donations were delivered by
Alex Valvassori and the Sacred Heart
crew.
Donations included coffee, tomato sauce,
sugar, plastic bags, napkins mayonnaise,
spices, Walgreens' and Costco gift cards,
and other staples. All of this will be used
in the next couple of weeks.
Our initial effort was a success, that we'll
do it again, a couple of times a year.
A big thank you to all those that helped to prepare food and to serve at the Just Harvest
Soup Kitchen on September 15. In addition to serving close to 150 people, generous
donations from parishioners provided important staples that help keep the kitchen operating. Thanks to Jim Carey for coordinating the staples collection.

Catholic Parent Know How
Pick up a copy of “Catholic Parent Know How” in our Church vestibule. It’s a
great resource for parents interested in making lasting impressions on their children
and building stronger Catholic families. You can visit the Archdiocesan website
(www.archchicago.org) to find other resources for Catholic parents by clicking on the
“Year of Strong Catholic Parents” banner (seen above).
Remember these simple principles when educating your children about faith:
Get involved. Join a spirituality, prayer or faith group; attend a lecture on your
faith.
Take your faith HOME and make it kid-friendly. Use kid prayer books.
Talk about the readings after Mass. Talk about the saints. Talk about Catholic
symbols and sacramental such as the triangle (Trinity), the rock (Peter), and
blessing ourselves with Holy Water when we enter Church to renew our baptismal promises.
All these things lead to everyday teaching moments. Embrace them!
On this Catechetical Weekend we THANK and PRAY for all our CATECHISTS/
TEACHERS who share their faith with our young people.
May they and our community be blessed abundantly for their generous service.
