Fr. Terry Keehan
In chapter 10 verse 10 of
John’s Gospel we hear that
Jesus has come to give life;
not simply life, but abundant life. As you may have
noticed, Jesus is often about
abundance. He fed countless with 5 loaves and 2 fish
and in the end there were
abundance – leftovers that filled 12 baskets. He not
only provided new wine at Cana, he ushered in 155
gallons of really good, vintage, tasty wine. Abundance
in taste, amount and ultimately spirit is what happens
when Jesus Christ gives life. The abundant life that he
promises us in verse 10 sets the tone for our Gospel
passage this week that begins with verse 11 and has
Jesus telling us, “ I am the good shepherd. A good
shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.” The comparison of this good shepherd is that he is not like a
hired hand who works for pay, and he doesn’t run away
when a wolf appears who may harm the sheep.
Jesus Christ laid down his life for each of us and he
stays with us in the presence of wolves that may attack,
threaten or harm us. He laid down his life during the
drama of Holy Week and he promises to stay with us in
the hope of Easter rising and Easter life.
The rhythm of life rolls on and it follows many risings and fallings, many comings and goings. We have
an example of that right here on our staff as we say
goodbye to one staff member and hello to another.
Owen Walsh has been a valuable member of our Teen
and Family Faith staff. He has ministered in ways that
touch young families in Baptism and Baptismal prep,
and with our teens on mission trips, several retreats including Kairos, and much more. Owen has been a role
model for our teens and even helped out with many
of our AV needs out of the goodness of his heart. We
all wish Owen well as moves on to join the Religious
Education and Teen program at St. Norbert’s parish in
Northbrook.
The other part of the rhythm of life is welcoming Bernie Schaeffer to our staff. Bernie has recently retired
from a long career at Motorola and he brings a vast
amount of skill and dedication to Holy Family. He and
Heidi Rooney will share a job that continues to grow in
importance in advancing our mission. Heidi will focus
on Marketing and Bernie will focus on Development
and Fundraising. Although no welcome is really needed
because Bernie and his family have been active parishioners for over 20 years, we welcome him to our staff.
Another bright spot of new life is our Young Family
Prayer initiative. We will gather families with children
under the age of 4 to our chapel at 10:15 this Sunday.
Young Family Prayer is a 20 minute Word and Com-
munion service that will be led by young parents, and
the hope is that families with young children who are
not ready for the nursery or Children’s Liturgy of the
Word will begin to experience prayer with their family
in a sacred space that engages them. A snack and
craft will follow in Common Ground and we will host the
next Young Family Prayer Service on Sunday, May 31
at 10:15. Our hope is that this will grow into a ministry
and it will be offered once a month, and possibly every
week. Look for details and spread the word.
Yet one more source of new life is the results of our
2015 Gala. This year’s event was the most attended
in 13 years as we welcomed 540 parishioners and
friends. Our Gala Co-Chairs Connie and Rick Anesi
and Jack and Raeann Shedd provided collaborative
and dedicated leadership. The presence of our new
Archbishop Blase Cupich was a highlight as he really caught the vibrant and welcoming spirit of Holy
Family. The event raised $277,000 for Holy Family
Catholic Community, far and away the most successful
financially. As important as the dollars are, I am most
proud of the fact that the Gala has become a real fun
way to advance the mission of our ENTIRE community.
$112,000 of the proceeds will meet the budgeted needs
for the Academy and $35,000 will meet the budgeted
needs for Teen, Family and Adult Faith --all 4 of which
are the major portions of the life-long learning part of
our Holy Family mission.
The remaining $130,000 will be shared in an adjudication process for ministries, activities and events that
request and express a need for financial resources.
The process of reviewing and prioritizing those needs
will be clarified in the near future. We will be open to
requests from any ministry or group in the parish, not
simply those focusing on life-long learning.
Our Worship office is beginning a new initiative for
anyone interested in writing the Prayers of the Faithful,
sometimes called the Petitions or Intentions or Prayers
of the People for weekend Masses. If you are a good
writer and have an interest in leading our community
and crafting these special prayers along with a small
group of others, please contact Brian in the Worship
office at 847-907-3472.
Our Peace Prayer of St. Francis continues in the
request that we not so much seek to be loved as to
love. Our second reading this weekend from the first
Letter of John focuses on love as it begins, “Beloved:
See what love God has bestowed on us in letting us be
called children of God.” And so we are all children of
God, and may we not only recognize the children in all
of us, but congratulate the many children in our parish who will make their First Communion in the coming
weeks.

Your Questions
Answered
(Part I of II)
You asked, we answer! The last couple of weekends, we have had some questions come to the Worship office
regarding the liturgical environment and music. We have heard many positive things and, at the same time, we
have heard some “constructive criticism.” This weekly column, Worship Notes, is all about engaging the Holy
Family Community in dialogue. We may not always agree, but let us find common ground and remember that
common ground is holy ground. The names of those who submitted the questions have been omitted. We appreciate the questions and the feedback.
1. Why was the face of Jesus covered in purple gauze during Lent? It contradicts the welcoming hand of
the Cross of New Life.
Some of you might recall, back in the day, covering the statues inside the church was a common practice during the Lenten season. As Catholics, we are blessed to experience the rich liturgical seasons. As you know, Lent
is a time for fasting. Covering the Cross of New life in purple can be symbolic for a fasting of our eyes. We cover it
up to draw attention to the Cross of New Life in a different way, we begin to look and appreciate the Cross of New
Life, especially when we removed the purple covering for Holy Week.
Lent is a time in which the Church commemorates the suffering of Christ through His time in the desert and
ultimately His passion and death. We have seen various churches throughout our ministry experience cover the
cross as a symbolic gesture that causes us to journey in the "desert" in communion with Christ. Remember, He
removed himself from His followers and spent a great amount of time in isolation. If we are able to recreate that
isolation feeling through symbolic design within the church, it brings greater significance to the risen Christ we
come to celebrate at Easter.
The late liturgist, Peter Mazar, author of two books about decorating the church and preparing liturgical and
seasonal decorations for classrooms wrote in his book To Crown the Year: Decorating the Church through the
Seasons, “The veiling of the statues in Lent is a strong image of exile. Ever since we were thrown out of paradise,
death deprives us of the company of our ancestors, the saints. A veil keeps us from seeing heaven, a sight that
sacred images in the church’s house anticipate for us. In Isaiah’s words, on the day that death is destroyed, gone
also will be the veil that veils all people. We will see God and each other face to face.”
2. Why are we singing “Another Hallelujah” during Easter? The verses are not even appropriate.
“Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album
Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a cover
by John Cale, which inspired a cover by Jeff Buckley. “Another Hallelujah” made its way in the Christian world,
new verses added to reflect Christian beliefs. However, this past weekend and this weekend, the verses were
written by us and directly tied to reflect the Gospel of the day. The following was the verse used last weekend for
the Third Sunday of Easter.
It happened that while He was with them,
He took the bread and said a blessing,
He broke it and He gave it to them.
With that their eyes were open wide,
They recognized Him as the Christ,
"Were not our hearts burning within us."

Annulment Support
Thinking about an annulment? Want more information on the process? Already
decided to begin but need some help and support? We’ve been through the process
ourselves, have completed Archdiocesan training and have helped other petitioners
through the process. We’ll provide you with an application, tell you what to expect,
and sign all the necessary documents.
Question: What is an annulment?
Answer: According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, an annulment is a statement
by the Church that the marriage in question was not a binding (sacramental) union
and that a relationship fell short of at least one of the elements seen as essential for a
valid marriage according to the teachings of the Church.

Spiritual Direction & Companioning
Would a relationship with a Spiritual Director/Companion make a difference in your life?
The answer is yes, only if you desire to deepen your understanding in your unique relationship with the Lord. The trained spiritual director has the skills to not get in the way of your unique
spiritual growth and yet be a gentle guide toward clarity in your “Call.” Your witness is privately held
as sacred!
If you long to….
• Identify and trust your own experiences of God
• Integrate spirituality into everyday life
• Discern and make difficult decisions
• Share your hopes, struggles and losses
• Participate as an individual or as part of a small group
• Move toward or away from tradition

community outreach.
Over the next 12 months, all seven themes will be
highlighted.
The Church's social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just
society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching
has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar and episcopal documents. The depth and richness
of this tradition can be understood best through a direct reading of these documents. In these brief reflections,
we highlight several of the key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition.
Care for God’s Creation
We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an Earth
Day slogan, it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith
in relationship with all of God’s creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical
dimensions that cannot be ignored.
The environment is God’s gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor, towards future generations and towards humanity as a whole. . . Our duties towards the environment are linked
to our duties towards the human person, considered in himself and in relation to others. It would be wrong to
uphold one set of duties while trampling on the other. Charity in Truth (Caritas in Veritate. . . ), #48, 51

Catholic Charities New Hope Apartments
A Transitional Housing Program for Homeless Families
March Update
Family #23
Our family is currently working on their goals, getting ready to exit the program at the end of April. The
mom and her mother are still saving up to get grandma
a car and they are very close to their goal. They have
been looking locally and have seen some good deals,
but still a little out of their price range. It is good to
see them working toward a specific goal and they are
determined to achieve it.
Things are stable; mom is studying hard for the
GED exam and will take it in May. She reports that
she will keep us posted on her progress. Things are
going really well at work and she sees herself moving
up again soon if she continues to reach her monthly
quotas. She is hopeful that she will get her first bonus check next month! Overall, she says she feels
confident that she will continue to improve her financial
status when she exits.
Family #25
Our mom continues to do well with her goals and she
is climbing her way to self-sufficiency. She is so excited
to have money in her savings account. She has also
gone into business with her sister. She reports that her
sister is making a lot of extra income with World Venture,
a traveling service that offers four and five star hotel accommodations. She is excited about this new venture
and the potential to increase her savings.
Last month we reported that she wished to move
back to the Western Suburbs after she exits the program.
Since then she has changed her mind because she feels
it will be better staying in her current area so that she can
be close to her job. She is looking for housing in Hanover
Park, Schaumburg, Bartlett, and Hoffman Estates. She
has also looked into the schools that her children will
potentially attend. She continues to be motivated to save
and secure housing for her family.
New Hope and these families extend special greetings to the
Peace and Justice Cluster Parishes for their continued support.

wellness check, need for transportation, visit or help with a meal. Our
members are all volunteers and we
are always interested in those who
might join in this ministry or members
of our community who may be aware
of a need we might be able to fill.
If you would like to be involved in
this ministry or know of a need call us
at 847-772-2646.
Thanks to all those who have volunteered to serve.
Prayer List Requests
Remembering our sick in prayer is important to the Holy
Family parish community. With the person’s or relative’s permission, his or her name will be read aloud during the intercessory prayers that weekend. We will then place the name
of a sick person who has recently become ill on the screens
at the weekend Masses for the following two weeks. Should
the person become more seriously ill at a future time, let us
know and we will then follow the same procedure.
ALL the sick of our parish community and our relatives
and friends who are ill can we added to our Book of Prayer
in the narthex and then prayed for each and every day at
Masses and by the prayer groups in our parish.

Retreat/workshop
For widowed
men/women
Holy Family Parish is pleased to offer a preventive
health event. Life Line Screening, a leading provider
of community-based preventive health screenings, will
host their affordable, non-invasive and painless health
screenings on June 22, 2015. Five screenings will be
offered that scan for potential health problems related
to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke;
abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which
is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or
irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk;
and a bone density screening, for men and women,
used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139
with our member discount). All five screenings take
60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this
event and to receive a $10 discount off any package
priced above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit
www.lifelinescreening.com/community-partners.
Beyond grieving there is new life!
Feeling “stuck”? Need something to
get you “over the hump”? Have you
reached a “turning point” after your
loss?
Come join us for a weekend expecially designed to help you reflect
on and recognize a new direction for your life while still
treasuring memories of your
loved one.
Upcoming program:

Toussaint reflect on the readings.
Reflection Questions for May 3, 2015:
1. Saul’s conversion was a dramatic transformation. Have you had any experiences
with someone who made a transformation
that seemed miraculous at the time?
2. How might the Church be different today
if Paul had not been converted?
3. What does it mean to “bear fruit”? What
role do we, the faithful, play in ensuring that
the Church continues to bear fruit?
4. What needs to be pruned in you so that
you might bear fruit? What needs to be
pruned in the Church of Christ so that we
might bear more fruit? What needs to be
pruned in our Holy Family faith community
so that we might bear more fruit?
