When the Lord saw her, he
was moved with pity for
her and said to her, "Do
not weep." He stepped
forward and touched the
coffin; at this the bearers
halted, and he said, "Young
man, I tell you, arise!" The
dead man sat up and began
to speak, and Jesus gave
him to his mother.

This weekend’s bulletin is the first in our summer schedule
of publishing every other week. If you are submitting
articles, please remember that from now until August 18th
we publish the bulletin every other week.
This weekend’s special collection is for the retirement fund
for priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago. I encourage you
to be generous to this collection not only because I hope
one day to be one of them, but because they are an amazing
group who not only served the Archdiocese faithfully
before their retirement, but most of those who are still
able to do so, continue to help out in parishes across the
Archdiocese where their help is so important.
I encourage the men of the parish to consider joining us for
the Men’s Morning of Reflection on June 22 from 8:00 am
– 12:00 noon. Our morning
will be focused on: Home,
Work, Play and Pray: Being
a Catholic Man in the World
Today.
Special THANKS to the
Girl Scouts who took on the
project of beautifying the patio
area between the parking lot
and the church and added
10 beautiful new hanging
planters on the fences and
garage, brought in the dirt and plants and made the area so
welcoming and beautiful!
Here are some photos of the Girl Scout project as it happened last Saturday:
Parish Mission Statement:
St. Josaphat Catholic Parish, with faith in a loving God,
joyfully welcomes all who wish to come together as a
community of shared faith in Jesus Christ, to give glory
and praise to God.
We commit to making Christ’s love apparent on
our journey of faith by striving to support, comfort,
forgive, challenge and inspire each other in our homes,
schools, neighborhoods, community and world.
We are energized through the celebration of the
sacraments and the proclamation of the Gospel.
Through our ongoing formation and education,
outreach to those in need and hospitality to all, we
come to know Christ and make Christ known.

4 Scripture Reflection
10th Sunday in Ordinary Time
11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
As I was preparing to do this
week’s reflection, a close friend
of mine’s husband died. He
had been battling cancer on
and off for years, but his death
came suddenly. He had been
the light in the lives of his wife
and daughter and a source of
constant inspiration to them
and others who knew him.
The main theme of our readings today
is about sinfulness and forgiveness.
Relationships are about sinning,
forgiving and loving The pattern just
keeps repeating itself. We are all sinners
because of our humanity. Oh, we might
try not to sin and we might even have
days (OK maybe just hours) of no sin,
but because we were born into a sinful
world we can’t help ourselves. In our
first reading we hear about David acting like a spoiled son
and wanting more. Enough cannot be done to make him
happy. But it is in the fact that he realizes his sinful ways of
wanting too much and asks for forgiveness that we see the true
message.
My initial response was, “Oh, no!” It reminded me of
how each of those who lost a loved one in this week’s
reading from the first Book of Kings and in Luke’s
Gospel must have felt, and how great their faith was
that they believed their loved one could be brought
back to life by Elijah and Jesus through God’s grace
and power.
How well our God understood our deepest fear – that
of losing someone we love. It is a testament to how
much God wanted to show his love for us and the
depth of his relationship with us that his most moving
examples of miracles are those in which he brings back
to life those we love.
We are challenged through these miracle stories to
embrace and trust in the life promised to us by God
through Jesus Christ. In times of great sorrow and
loss, it is the eternal life through God that is our hope.
We are buoyed by our community in this belief as we
journey toward its realization.
— Erin Shields
In our 2nd reading from Galatians we are taught that it is not
enough to just simply follow the law without following Jesus
Christ. The two go hand in hand. It is in Christ’s dying for us
that we have life. When Christ died for us, to save us from our
sinfulness, he took up his new residence in each of us. “Christ
lives in me,” this reminder can help us to remain focused on
not sinning or at least when we do sin to ask God to forgive us.
If we really believe that Christ is living in us then how can we
continue to sin? The answer to that question is quite simple.
We forget that Christ died to save us. We forget that we have
Christ living inside of us. We forget in our every waking
moment that all we have to do is to turn back to him and make
it right. It is through our sin that we forget but we can quickly
turn that around by asking for forgiveness and forgiving and
loving others. Just as relationships are a continuing cycle of
sinning and forgiving and loving, so is our relationship with
Christ. It might not always be easy to keep from sinning but it
should be easy to forgive one another. All we have to do is to
remember who we are and who we have dwelling inside of us.
Jesus continues to show his people what it looks like to forgive
one another. In today’s Gospel Jesus allows a sinful women
to wash and kiss his feet. His followers were appalled. He
explained to them that she turned her sinfulness around
through a simple act of love. It was because of this simple
loving act that Jesus forgave her of her sins.
It is often through the smallest of actions that we show the
greatest love. Relationships are about loving!

The Bronze Award is a leadership adventure that allowed us to use our special skills
and interest to take action and make a difference in our community. We took a walk
around the neighborhood to find out what we could improve on. We observed there
was a lot of graffiti, dog waste, inappropriate posters, people not following the rules
of the road, and we also noticed the patio behind the church wasn’t as beautiful
and welcoming as we thought it could be. We took a vote on what we wanted to
improve. The winner was the patio. Some of our early research and service included
feeding the homeless one day over Christmas break and interviewing Maria at the
rectory.
We made some ideas on what we should do to make the patio more welcoming. We
were going to 1) paint the fence, 2) put an awning or canopy up where the homeless
get their food so they are protected from sun and rain, 3) put an umbrella up by the
picnic tables to give shade in the summer, and 4) plant flowers. We researched and
made a plan to implement all four ideas, including making a visit to Menard's. We
presented our ideas and project plan to Fr Rich for his input. We concluded that all
were great ideas, but we didn’t have enough money to do everything. We decided to
plant flowers right away, and you can see how beautiful they are for yourselves. The
money we earned from selling over 2400 boxes of cookies went into the buying of
the horse trough planters, flowers and other supplies.
The other three ideas are in process. We suggested stain colors for the wooden
fence to Fr. Rich, and it may be stained in the fall. We were able to reuse umbrellas
that the parish had, however sturdy poles were missing. Maria’s uncle will make
replacement poles, and the maintenance staff will install them over the picnic tables.
A parishioner offered to help fund the awning, but we still don't have enough. We
are talking to the two companies we asked for estimates about different installation
options.
We hope that the homeless, the parishioners, and the school kids who use the patio
will be warmed by the improved area, and feel even more welcome at our parish.

6 School News
Congratulations to our graduates. We wish them the best of
luck as they head to high school!
The faculty, staff, and students of St. Josaphat School wish you
a wonderful and safe summer.
Recently at school:
Students in computer class
learned about the workings
of a computer as they took
some old computers apart
to examine the components.
Perhaps we have some
computer engineers in our
future.
The 4th grade hosted their
annual State Fair. There are
new facts to be learned each
year as students, teachers,
and parents visit the fair. This
year was outstanding.
Looking ahead:
School begins August 22nd.
Fourth grade students stand next to their State
Fair presentation boards (left). Computer class

Religious Education
Help Needed for
Children’s Liturgy of The Word
For Parish Children Grades Kindergarten through 5th
Here at St. Josaphat we offer a wonderful program for
our children, ages 5 through 10, to gather together to
experience the readings on their level. This program
begins in September and goes through May. I have
a couple of adults willing to help us beginning in the
fall but I am in need of a few more. Moms, dads,
grandparents, and young adults are more than welcome.
We use a wonderful series that guides you right through
the readings on how to bring them to a child’s level of
understanding while not changing the message behind
each reading. We offer Children’s Liturgy of the Word
each Sunday at the 10:00 am mass unless we have a
Family Mass scheduled. Please call or drop me an email
if you would be willing to join us in this wonderful
ministry to our parish children. No training is required,
just a love of children (and some patience!) and a love
of God.
God Bless you as you Discern!
Our SPRED Program needs your help!
Are you looking for a special way to get involved
with your parish? Are you considering what you

an informational meeting concerning our SPRED
program. Please come if only to see what all the fuss is
about. Our SPRED program is for people with special
needs and will begin in the fall. We have adults with
special needs who are looking for a sacred place to hear
all about God's love. If you like helping others you will
LOVE this program. Come for fellowship, coffee and
cake to the rectory on Monday, June 10th at 6:30pm.

Men's Morning of Reflection
How can we find God present in our home and how can I simply find time for God? Is there a “God-problem” at work?
How does my faith and my work interact? Is their time for play in my life? Is it healthy? Is my prayer the same as when I
was school? How do I re-engage my relationship to God?
All the men in the parish are invited to join in a morning of reflection: Home, Work, Play, Pray: Being a Catholic Man in
the World Today on Saturday, June 22nd from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon (including breakfast).
Please let the rectory office know if you can join us so that we have adequate materials: [email protected], or

Know the Mass, One Word at a Time:
Take
In England, you might see a restaurant sign that says
“Dine in or take away.” For the British, “take away”
is equivalent to our “carry out.” Actually, “take away”
may be the more accurate phrase. It implies obtaining
something, holding it, and going away to consume it
elsewhere. Surprisingly, this same action of “taking
away” is deeply embedded in the Sunday Mass we
celebrate together, although it’s not an immediately
obvious action.
If we have fully and actively participated in the Mass, we
will take away the Word of God and the Bread of Life that we have received. We
will hold onto these sustaining realities within ourselves. We will walk back into
our familiar worlds of family, work, and community. And there we will continue to
draw from these mysteries and, God willing, share them with others.
Recognize
When the risen Jesus approached the two disciples on
their way of Emmaus, they did not recognize him. After
he opened God’s Word for them and then took bread,
blessed it, and broke it, Saint Luke says: “Then their
eyes were opened, and they recognized him” (Luke
24:31). Since that time, every Mass has been an act of
recognition.
At Mass, we recognize that we do not walk alone. We
recognize the presence of the Risen One who even now
is transforming our fragile and vulnerable existence

and drawing us into the fullness of life. We recognize
the presence of the Lord, as we make our Eucharistic acclamation: “We proclaim
your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.” We
recognize his presence among us and his glory in the Most Holy Trinity when
acclaim the Great Amen, affirming “Through him, and with him, and in him, O
God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever. Amen.”

Question of the week for June 9
Because of his compassion—“He
was moved with pity for her”—Jesus
returns the son of the widow of Nain
to life and gives him back to her.
How has the Eucharist been
“the bread of compassion” for
me, enabling me to know God’s
compassionate love for me and
enabling me to bring compassion
to my world?
Question of the week for June 16
Today, Saint Paul says of himself, “…
Christ lives in me…I live by faith in
the Son of God who has loved me and
given himself up for me.”
How has the Mass kept me
mindful of Christ’s love unto
death for me and that he lives in
me?

Low-Gluten Hosts Available
Celiac disease affects as many as one out of every 133 people. Those suffering from this condition cannot ingest any
gluten, a protein found in wheat. Eating gluten causes intestinal damage and can lead to many secondary illnesses.
Celiacs have to maintain strict gluten free diets to protect their health. Hence, the concern among Catholic celiac
sufferers was how could they continue to receive the Body of Christ at Eucharist when it is made with wheat. The
Benedictine Sisters at Clyde, Missouri tried mixing together two different types of starch. The result was a sticky, messy
batter that seemed hopeless. They plopped some of it onto the baking plate and then decided to throw out the rest and
start over. When they opened the baker they discovered a round, crisp, light wafer that tasted delicious. The Vatican
received their samples and test results and approved the low-gluten hosts for Communion. The low gluten altar breads
were featured in an article in the magazine Gluten-Free Living. The editorial and accompanying write-up cited data from
the Center for Celiac Research that showed that the 0.01% gluten content of the altar breads would be perfectly safe for
most celiacs.
Here at St. Josaphat, if you would like to receive Communion with a low-gluten host, please stop in the sacristy before
mass to let the priest know, and then at Communion time, please go to the Communion station of the priest who is
Presider of the liturgy.
