To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign
I wanted to give an update on some of the projects we are hoping to accomplish in the next few
months. Playground equipment has been ordered and the new playground for the children should be in place
at the beginning of our new school year. This past Wednesday Mr. Chick O’Leary and I met with an architect
regarding updating our church bathrooms. Both of these projects will have an estimated cost around
$170,000 dollars.
There is good and bad news regarding the playground and bathroom projects. The good news is that
we are going forward. The bad news is that we are using our savings to fund the projects. As you may recall
from the campaign drive last year, we have already dipped into our savings to cover the cost of our church air
-conditioning unit. Although monies are coming in, the parish bank account will need to be replenished before
any more projects can be addressed.
I am thankful for those who responded to our To Teach Who Christ Is campaign. Some parishioners
have been very generous. Unfortunately, roughly only twenty-percent of our families responded to our
campaign. It is hoped that parishioners who have not responded will do so once they see our new bathrooms
and playground for the children. Every amount given truly helps our parish and archdiocese. Some people are
unclear on how to fulfill their pledge or how to contribute. The green envelope in your monthly packets is the
way you can contribute to the Teach Who Christ Is campaign. An example of the envelope has been printed
below my article. I want to thank you for helping our parish and for taking care of God’s house. I know your
generosity will be rewarded.
Yours in Christ,
Bulletin copy MUST be in the rectory office NO LATER THAN 12:00 NOON EACH MONDAY. Copy material received

THIS WEEKEND
BLESSING OF EXPECTANT MOTHERS
AFTER THE 9:30 AM MASS
SENT BY GOD
In Amos’ time the vocation of prophet had
achieved a very formal status in Israel. The prophets
had arisen, originally, to act as God’s voice when
Israel was no longer led by the spiritual/civil figures
known as “judges,” but by monarchs. Over time, the
monarchy had appropriated the offices of priest and
prophet, established them into companies, and
reserved the right to appoint courtly prophets. Then,
as now, when those in power also got to choose who
would act as their official conscience, things
sometimes went awry. At such times, God raised up
prophets from unlikely places, and this is how Amos
received his vocation as prophet. In last week’s
Gospel we heard how Jesus was raised up as God’s
anointed from a place many viewed as unlikely. As
we continue to discern our own vocation as baptized
disciples, we can be assured that we are, in Paul’s
words, “chosen, destined in accord with the purpose
of the One who accomplishes all things according to
the intention of his will” (Ephesians 1:11).

Prayer with Scripture
We invite you to an encounter of prayer where you
can stop from the hurry of the moment and listen to
God through God’s Word, in silence, meditation, adoration and contemplation. In this short but intense
time, we listen to a talk that introduces us into the
understanding of the Word of God, which later, we
reflect on and meditate in an attitude of faith, discovering what God is trying to reveal to us. The prayer
is accompanied by the exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament with songs to help the faithful enter more
into prayer.
As the deer longs for streams of water,
so my soul longs for you, O God. Psalm 42,2

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Many marriage customs stand in tension with
modern American attitudes and values, notably
“giving away the bride,” which is no longer in the
Catholic liturgy, and reminds us of a time when
marriage was a contract between men (the groom
and the bride’s father). A Mexican custom, now
approved for use in the United States, has a very
different message.
An ancient Roman custom called for smashing
pieces of gold and silver so that bride and groom
could each keep half. This is the origin of today’s
Mexican practice of the groom giving thirteen gold
coins to the bride, symbolically placing all his worldly
goods into her care, and a sign of his unconditional
trust. The coins are often given in beautiful gift
boxes and are retained as an heirloom. Why
thirteen? The standard explanation is that they
represent Jesus and the apostles. The priest
blesses the coins and pours them into the bride’s
cupped hands. Then she entrusts them to the
groom, who later pours them back into her hands.
This enduring ritual is in such harmony with our
tradition’s view of marriage that it is now increasingly
performed by English-speaking Hispanic Catholics
at weddings in the United States.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR MASS
As warm weather is here, we would like to
remind everyone that Sunday Mass is the most important and solemn event of the week. It is not an
“informal occasion.” As a consequence, the appropriate attire for Mass should be characterized by
modesty, dignity, and elegance. Clothing suitable
for a picnic, or for the beach, can indicate a lack of
respect for the Eucharistic Sacrifice.
SCHOOL OFFICE
The school office will be closed until August.
If you would like to leave a message your
call will be returned in August.
At the time of a family member’s death, if you
would like memorials to be made to
St. Eugene Parish, please instruct the Funeral
Home to use the following in the death notice:
“In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be made to
St. Eugene Parish,
Foster Avenue, Chicago.”
Envelopes can be provided by the Funeral Home.

Our Lady, Mother of the Church parish is having a
Rummage Sale in the Hayes Center, 8700 W. Leland, Chicago. Dates: Thursday, August 6, 9:00
am - 1:00 pm (Preview Day, $2 admission), Friday, August 7, 1:00 - 7:00 pm and Saturday, August 8, 9:00 am - 2:00 pm ($5 bag sale day). For
more information please call: 773-625-3369.
As humans we all know how easy it is to stray
from God’s will. Sometimes it seems we wander
from the path no matter how hard we try. Perhaps
that’s why Jesus sent His apostles out in society to
call people to repent, not just believe. Jesus knew
that we can only have peace of soul when we are in
harmony with God. In fact the first step in any true
believer’s relationship with God is repenting. Giving
up our will, our sinful ways and taking that long hard
road to walk back to Him. Without that, belief is
merely a mouthful of words, without any valid meaning. Take a moment to consider your life today. Are
you shouting your belief from miles away from God or kneeling in repentance at His feet?

FIVE STEPS TO END OF LIFE PLANNING
He hadn’t reached his late twenties yet but there he lay in a hospital bed in a coma. His hospital room had
turned into a showdown, much like you’d hear about in the Wild West: his mother and siblings on one side,
his estranged father on the other. Dan’s [name changed for privacy] family never dreamed they would end up
in a heated battle over whether to give Dan time to recover or end his life by removing food and fluids. Dan
had never filled out any end of life documents and didn’t have any conversations with his family regarding his
final wishes. His family now fought over his last wishes for months.
The five steps below will help you to avoid these heartbreaking situations:
Quick pro-life rule of thumb:
the cause of death should never be due to a medication overdose, starvation, or dehydration.
Choose a healthcare agent. Picking the wrong healthcare agent (a person to make medical
decisions for you should you become incapacitated) can be as dangerous as completing the
wrong healthcare directive. Have several in-depth conversations with your chosen healthcare
agent ensuring they understand your end of life desires.
Complete a healthcare directive from. Illinois Right to Life’s Patient-self Protection Document
— a pro-life end of life durable power of attorney form - is a good choice. All persons, age 18 and
older, should complete a healthcare durable power of attorney.
DNR — To sign or not to sign? Illinois’ DNR form has been replaced by the “POLST” form.
A DNR is not appropriate for a healthy person to sign. If a need for resuscitation occurs,
the patient will be properly resuscitated if this form is not signed. A DNR is appropriate for a
person entering the absolute final stage of his or her life and who is also very frail. In this case,
resuscitation would only prolong and disturb natural death.
Regularly discuss end of life wishes with your healthcare agent. Situations and health
change over time. Talk about your end of life wishes regularly and openly with your healthcare
agent to ensure your end of life desires are understood. It is okay to change your healthcare
agent is necessary.
Make organ donation desires clear.
A new Illinois pro-life power of attorney for
healthcare form will be available soon from Illinois Right to Life.

MARKET DAY NEWS
As many of you are already aware, we were recently notified that Market Day has been acquired by World’s
Finest Chocolates which has abruptly decided to cancel the Market Day Fundraising Program at all schools
effective immediately. Several Market Day products will still be available at GFS Stores thru August (or
while supplies last) with 10% profit going to our school.
Here are some facts that will be of interest to you. St. Eugene School has been participating in the Market
Day Program since 1983, thru the efforts of former School Board members: Barbara Sitko, Angie Cisek and
Lois Pallo. During the past 32 years, St. Eugene School was able to realize a gross profit of over
$496,000.00 which benefited our school in numerous ways.
We would like to express our deep appreciation to all of the dedicated customers, together with our adult
and student volunteers, who have supported market Day and made this program so successful. Thanks
especially to the following volunteers: Chris Biedermann, Karen Powell, Theresa Samborski, Maureen
Johnson, Mary Nee, Kim and Kaitlynn Dziadosz, Tom Swiderski, Herb Flentye, John Imburgia, Angie Cisek,
Taire Jurek, Helen Malatia, Arlene Mika, Mike Devyor, Jim Galati, Bob and Phyllis Kwilas who have helped
so much during the past several years. We will miss those monthly get togethers!
If you have any questions please, call the rectory at: 773-775-6659 and Janet or Barbara will return your call
Thank you again for all of your support throughout the past 32 years.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission as Catholics united in faith at St. Eugene Parish is to help bring God to people and people to
God. Through evangelization, education and being of service to each other, we strive to make our parish
community a holistic community in body, mind and spirit. It is our goal to develop, support, encourage and
empower one another in our parish ministries, so that each person can reach their human and Christian potential. We are enthused about the future of St. Eugene and the whole Catholic Church and we pledge our
participation in that future. We seek dialogue and open communication with all parishioners in fulfilling the
needs of our parish. While recognizing the cultural diversities in our community, we will strive to bring all people together in Christ under a common bond of faith, hope and love.
