Clarion, May 15, 2016 - Saint Anne`s Catholic Community
The Clarion Volume 12, No. 25 PENTECOST SUNDAY Ma y 15, 2016 Our Parish Mission Liturgy Schedule Led by the Spirit, the Catholic community of Saint Anne strives to live the example of Jesus, who said, “I came so that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Monday-Friday: 8:15 a.m. Saturday: First Saturday: 8:15 a.m. Reconciliation: Saturdays, 9:15 a.m. until all are heard Mass of Anticipation: 5:15 p.m. Sunday: 7:15, 9:00, 11:00 a.m., 5:15 p.m. Saint Anne Catholic Community • 120 North Ela Street, Barrington, IL 60010 • 847.382.5300 • stannebarrington.org A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTORAL ASSOCIATE, MICHAEL BEARD Dear Friends, A blessed Pentecost to you all! We have reached the end of the Easter season and now return to ‘Ordinary Time.’ One of my favorite images of the nascent Christian community is the one that Luke gives us at the beginning of Acts of the Apostles. The image of those huddled together in the upper room receiving the Holy Spirit and bursting out the door to proclaim Good News, so powerful, so real, so intense that all who heard it could understand it in their native tongue is incredible to me. I never explicitly considered ‘Ordinary Time’ as ‘harvest time’ until I made that connection. As we enter into Ordinary Time, we enter into a time ordered and seasoned by the mysteries we have recalled this year. We continue to receive nourishment from our sacramental life together. Then, having been steeped in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and the Holy Spirit’s embrace, we are called to order our lives in such a way as befits the time of harvest. Christianity has a long history of seeing this as a reversal of the tale of Babel in Genesis. Humanity relied on their own resources to assert their presence and power to the cosmos; Christ, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. Humanity’s tower at Babel represented a rift between God and humanity; Christ’s ascension and sending of the Holy Spirit signifies a powerful intimacy between God and humanity. Babel showed that unity springing from spite, arrogance and hatred leaves humanity divided, humiliated and fractured; Pentecost shows that unity in the love of God, the Gospel of the Risen Christ—real love for God and neighbor—can overcome divisions that have persisted through evil. It’s a salient reality and reflection for any generation. In the spirit of laboring for and celebrating the harvest, there are a couple of events I would like to call to your attention. The first is in the spirit of service: Many couples who seek to baptize their children come to our door. Preparing them to raise their children in the faith is a wonderful way to proactively live out our Pentecost call. If you and your spouse have baptized your children and are interested in helping us with baptismal preparation or for more information, please contact me and see our posting on page 6. That said, there’s another image that didn’t catch my eye for many years: the harvest. Plentiful abundance in food and drink come to mind. Having participated in harvests, I know there’s work that comes with it: the harvest is a labor that is celebrated during and after. The reason so many people were gathered from all over the greater Mediterranean and Near-East on the day of Pentecost was precisely to celebrate the gathering of the harvest. How appropriate, then, that God’s harvest commences as the land’s harvest emerges. 2 Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org Secondly, though Easter is done, we are beginning to prepare for the next group of RCIA individuals. If you know a coworker, friend, family member or if you yourself have not been baptized, received First Communion or wish to join the Catholic Church, please consider contacting me to join the RCIA. If you are a fully initiated Catholic, please consider asking me about being a sponsor. Finally, in the vein of celebration, I’d like to highlight the RCIA Reunion. If you have been a sponsor, candidate, catechumen, team member, presenter or have helped with hospitality, please consider yourself invited to our RCIA Reunion this Friday, May 20th, at Biltmore Country Club. You’ll find more information on page 4!

TOM BISHOP For the last eight years, I have had the privilege of ministering to the people of Saint Anne. It has been eight years of growth, fun and many challenges. I’ve had the honor to work with Fr. Jack for two years and Fr. Bernie for the last six years. But as the saying goes, ‘All good things must come to an end.’ Fr. Bernie has managed to have me extended here for three extra and wonderful years. But the Personnel Board has said no more extensions. As of Friday, July 1st, I will be moving on to a new assignment in the Archdiocese. At this time, I do not know where that will be. I am humbled by the great people at Saint Anne. Your generosity with time and talent and treasure has taught me so much about how God works with and through his people. I will take with me all that you have taught me to my next assignment. It has been wonderful working with the School, the Religious Education Program, the Human Concerns Commission, the Sharing Board, the Ministry of Care, the Scouts, the Community Events and wherever I have been privileged to share my gifts and talents with the Parish. I will truly miss all of you. Fr. Bernie has arranged a weekend farewell on the weekend of June 11th-12th. I will speak at all the Masses and after the 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Masses, there will be a reception in the School Gym. They tell me we will be having more than donut holes. I will leave Saint Anne a better person and a better priest because of all that you have shared over the last eight years. I ask that you NOT expect the new Associate Pastor to do the things I have done. He will bring his own gifts and talents to share with all of you. And I know that you will welcome him as you welcomed me. Thank you, Saint Anne, for all you have allowed me do in service to the Lord. I will miss you and keep you always in my prayer. Fr. Tom Bishop Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org 3 Faith Formation and Education The Saint Anne RCIA is throwing its first ever RCIA Reunion! We will celebrate all who have participated in this foundational ministry over the years. Whether you went through this process as a catechumen or candidate, participated as a sponsor, served on the team or gave a presentation, we want to celebrate you! Please join us on Friday, May 20th, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., at Biltmore Country Club. Reconnect with old friends, make new ones and see how the Spirit has been active in the Saint Anne community throughout the years. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served and limited bar will be available. Please R.S.V.P. to Michael Beard at 847.620.3070 or at [email protected] by Monday, May 16th. To get to Biltmore, take Barrington Road to Signal Hill Road (1st right after Route 22). Turn right on Signal Hill and go two blocks to Biltmore Drive. Turn left and go one block to the Clubhouse on the left. Please use valet parking. To proclaim the mercy of God to the entire world seems like a monumental task. How do you reach 7.4 billion people to share with them God’s promise of love and mercy for all, saints and sinners alike? A very simple way to think about this would be for each of the one billion Catholics in the world to bring God’s message to seven or eight different people in order to reach everyone. Efficient, yes; effective, probably not. Imagine, though, if each of us lived God’s mercy every day and with each person with whom we come in contact. Consider the reach and power of that proclamation. What seemed to be a monumental task suddenly becomes very doable. 4 Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org Faith Formation and Education SAINT ANNE PARISH SCHOOL NEWS A GREAT YEAR FOR OUR BAND STUDENTS The Saint Anne Parish School band program, under the direction of our new band director, Mr. Rob Slater, has had a very successful year.

Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org 7 First Eucharist Celebrations During the early weekends of May, 120 of our children received their First Eucharist. These celebrations were filled with great joy as family, friends and parish community were witness to these children fully participating in the Mass for the first time. Families were very excited as they arrived, many with special items such as prayer books and rosaries to be blessed. Through the readings and his homily, Father Bernie brought the children to deeper understanding of the significance of the gift that Jesus gave to us all in the breaking of the bread with his disciples. 8 Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org First Eucharist Celebrations Father Bernie called the children to the altar to witness the consecration. Their parents, families and friends took great care in preparing the children to come to the table of the Lord. The children were all so excited to receive Jesus for the first time! A special thank you to our pastor, priests, deacons, liturgists, musicians, catechists, teachers, Eucharistic Ministers, ushers, administrative staff and all who shared their time and talents to make these celebrations joy-filled and inspirational! Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org 9 Renew My Church [email protected] www.archchicago.org/renew 835 N. Rush Street Chicago, Illinois 60611 Jubilee of Mercy Pentecost: May 14th-15th An Invitation to join Archbishop Cupich in renewing the Archdiocese of Chicago As Pope Francis recently remarked, we are living not only in an era of change but a change of era. This is a time to dream big. That is why we have launched Renew My Church, a pastoral planning process designed to bring those dreams to life and to strengthen the vitality of our parishes for generations to come. Just as the Holy Spirit filled the disciples at the first Pentecost and sent them on mission, the Holy Spirit is with us today, calling us to a new Pentecost to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ in a fresh way to the world. This work belongs to every parish and every Catholic across the Archdiocese. On this Pentecost day, Archbishop Cupich is inviting us to join him in making real this dream of vibrant parishes that live out the Gospel and share the love of Christ in word and deed. It will take a steady faith – a faith that is imaginative, that trusts that Christ is leading us and empowering us to make bold decisions that will shape the Church for generations to come. At the heart of this process is the demand to read the signs of the times and discern where Christ is calling us to fulfill his mission. There are challenges: decreasing Mass attendance, treasured church buildings in need of repair, declining numbers of priests, religious, deacons and lay ministers as many move towards retirement. Addressing this situation will require prayer, humility, hard work, creativity, tough choices and new sacrifices. It is true that by the time this consultative process is complete, we will mourn together the loss of some parishes. But that will not be the final word. By having the boldness to leave behind familiar ways of doing things, we can seize the moment as one not simply of loss but rather of renewal. Renewal comes from placing Christ at the center of the community and accompanying each other on this journey toward missionary discipleship. Rooted in Christ and strengthened by sacramental grace and the bonds of fellowship, the Church in Chicago will grow joyfully and fruitfully in response to Christ’s call to ‘Renew My Church.’ Therefore, Renew My Church will have at its core a strong focus on mission. The goal will be to ensure that local parishes have the support they need to strengthen their faith communities and live out our missionary call in ever more vibrant ways. Why is this process called Renew My Church? As St. Francis of Assisi was praying in the Church of San Damiano, he heard Christ speak to him: “Go, repair my Church.” Eventually, St. Francis realized that Christ was calling him to renew the Church—not only as a physical structure but as the w ho le peo p le o f Go d . The dying and rising of Christ continue to take place in every age in the dying and rising of the Church. We must take up the mission of proclaiming Christ as a Church whose community is united and whose focus is on the renewal that comes through the Resurrection. 10 Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org What will happen next? When will my parish be affected? All parishes across the archdiocese will be part of ‘groupings’ for pastoral planning. Within a grouping, parishes will come together to gather information and evaluate options for the pastoral needs of the local area. They will all have a say. Admittedly, the end result of this planning will differ according to the mission priorities, needs and realities of the Church in that area. The goal is to have a vibrant Catholic presence that reflects responsible stewardship of our collective resources: the gifts of lay people, deacons, religious and lay ecclesial ministers, our priest personnel, finances and buildings. For some groupings, the results will include changes to parish configurations including potentially fewer parishes. For other groupings, parish configurations may not change, but parishes will be expected to plan for enhanced collaboration with one another and to identify how they may further support parishes in other areas of the archdiocese. We will begin this fall with a ‘pilot’ program involving a small number of groupings and anticipate we will refine the Renew My Church grouping planning process based on learnings from these pilots. Subsequent groupings will then enter into a focused planning effort over the course of the next two to three years. Who will make decisions? Representatives from each parish will form a Grouping Planning Committee to gather information and evaluate options for the pastoral needs of the local area. The Grouping Planning Committee will make preliminary recommendations to an Archdiocesan Planning Commission comprised of leaders who represent the diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences of Church that mark the Archdiocese. The Archdiocesan Planning Commission will review the recommendations. If the preliminary recommendations are accepted, they will be forwarded to Archbishop Cupich for consultation with the Archdiocesan Presbyteral Council. After consulting with the Presbyteral Council, Archbishop Cupich will make the final decisions. What is expected of me as a Catholic in the Archdiocese of Chicago? Remain hopeful and open to ways to share, contribute and collaborate throughout the process of Renew My Church. Archbishop Cupich has invited us to pray for wisdom, discernment and courage as we begin pastoral planning through Renew My Church. Please use the prayer cards available beginning on Pentecost to pray at home with your families, at parish meetings and in other community groups. We will continue to recite this prayer during Mass periodically across the Archdiocese. When will we know the results of the survey? Thank you to the more than 30,000 Catholics who responded to the recent online survey and the thousands who mailed in a response via paper copy. Archdiocesan staff is in process of inputting paper responses. Initial results will be shared this summer. A final word This will be hard work. But, what in life worth doing does not involve hard work? The immigrants who built our churches, schools, hospitals and charitable agencies were not daunted by the prospect of hard work. Neither should we be daunted as we begin this new springtime for the Church, this new Pentecost, this change of era.

RX = Lord, send out your spirit and renew the face of the earth. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Gospel: John 20:19-23 Please refer to (A) and (B) above when I cite verses in the commentary below. One usual approach to the text from Acts is to focus on the coming of the Holy Spirit who rendered intelligible the proclamation o f the m ighty acts o f Go d (Acts 2:11c) made in different languages to all the varied people who had come fro m every natio n und er heaven (Acts 2:5); recall that theophanies (manifestations of God) were always accompanied by graphic natural phenomena like a stro ng d riving wind (Acts 2:2b, compare Job 38:1) and fire (Acts 2:3, compare Exodus 3:2; 19:16 ff). In the John pericope1, the same Spirit gives the disciples the power to forgive sin and the debts attached to those sins (Jn 20:23). If you take into account the social situation in which the followers of Jesus find themselves in this time and also recall the cultural and religious background of the Jewish feast of Pentecost, a broader biblical context emerges that challenges our present understanding of church community. Pentecost (Shavuot) or Feast of Weeks has its origin in an agricultural observance that required that the first fruits of the harvest be offered to God (Exodus 23:16a). Comparing the following two passages from Leviticus echoes what we remember about the God who disdains symbolic gestures (Hebrews 10:8) – the offering of grain is not enough! Shavuot (Lev 23:15-16) Beginning with the day after the Sabbath, the day on which you bring the wave-offering sheaf, you shall count seven full weeks … then you shall present the new cereal offering to the Lord. Jubilee (Lev 25:8-10) Seven weeks of years shall you count … This fiftieth year, you shall make sacred by proclaiming liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you when every one of you shall return to his own property, every one to his own family estate. In the second passage quoted above, the Lord commands Israel to apply Jubilee economics to the harvest: This fiftieth year, you shall make sacred by proclaiming liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. Look at the implications for us: At Acts 2:41, Luke’s story of the coming of the Spirit culminates in the addition of many to the group of baptized but note the radical re-ordering of the life of the community at verses 42-47; especially note v.44: All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among themselves all according to each one’s need. 16 Saint Anne Church • May 15, 2016 • stannebarrington.org Sharing the Living Story There is an assurance if we choose this very counter-cultural stance: we will be given the same peace that Jesus offered in John’s post-Resurrection story at 20:19, 21 and 26 to the disciples who were hiding in fear of the larger society’s animosity because of their stance about the Messiah. This is a peace not of the world (John 14:27) but a peace that empowers us to stay in solidarity with the Christ while we are still in the world (John 16:33). There is another assurance, an assurance that comes from authority in the real sense. John is unmistakable that it is God who sent Jesus (John 17:8) and that very same authority is given by Jesus to the disciples at 17:18, As you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world. This empowers them ... that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them (John 17:26). This makes larger the sense of the last verses of today’s pericope: When he had said this, he breathed o n them and said to them , “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” This is about liberation from sin and the consequences of sin; it is about our being freed by God through the sacrifice of Jesus, without pre-conditions or even questioning whether we merit God’s mercy. All three of these pericopes sing about God’s mighty act in giving the Holy Spirit to the disciples of Jesus – the Spirit who empowers them, as at today’s John 20:22, 23. Lord , send out your Sp irit, and renew the face of the earth. So What? But what of ourselves; what do we do with these reminders that the Holy Spirit has gifted and has empowered us – and that in the many communities in which we move, we are able to bind or release ... with our mouths, our attitudes, our financial positions, our gender, our social class? How does our heart respond as we sing the Psalm refrain: Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth? 1 A biblical passage, sometimes of non-consecutive verses (see 1 Corinthians 12 above), sometimes with added words, e.g. in the same Corinthians pericope above the words, Bro thers and sisters, do not appear in the biblical text.
