Letters from St. Julie~
I am perfectly
free to act

of the good God.

who really stepped up to ensure that our
music program continued in this time of
transition. I look forward welcoming Siobhán
ASSUMPTION…
to St. Julie when she begins on September 1st.
MISSION WELCOME…
Tomorrow, August 15th, is the Solemnity of
the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
While it remains a Holy Day, the obligation is
lifted this year because the feast day falls on
Monday. Mass will be at 8:00am in the
Church.
In keeping this feast, we celebrate Mary being
assumed into heaven - body and soul! Her
willingness to be the vessel through which
Christ was born afforded us the revelation of
God’s desire to be with us. The Scriptures
today tell the story of Mary greeting Elizabeth
and the joy of John the Baptist leaping in his
mother’s womb. In this revelation, we see
that God has made a home with us, the
Incarnation, so that we may one day be at
home with God, the Resurrection. We follow
the pattern of holiness of Mary in saying yes
to God and one day we too hope to join her
in heaven.
NEW DIRECTOR OF MUSIC
MINISTRY…
I am happy to share the news that St. Julie
now has a new Director of Music Ministry!
I recently hired Siobhán Maguire to this
position. Siobhán is a very talented musician
and is passionate about good liturgy with
good music! Siobhán comes to us from,
serving most recently as Music Director,
St. Hubert Parish in Hoffman Estates. She
previously served in the same capacity at
St. Victor Parish in Calumet City and St. Mary
Parish in Riverside. She will be a wonderful
addition to our staff.
I wish to thank the members of the search
committee who assisted in the process of
HEADING EAST…
For many years, Merilee Andreasen has been
the receptionist who greets folks when they
first come to the office. She’s provided a
warm first impression of our parish to
countless folks. For some time now, Merilee
and her husband Frank have been planning a
move out east to be closer to their daughter,
Emily. They recently sold their home and are
planning to make this move, which means
that Merilee will be leaving our staff. Their
hope is to be out east by October 1st which
means that Merilee will be departing from
St. Julie in the middle of September; her last
day will be September 15th. Merilee’s
encouragement to find a new person to train
before she departs is part of the reason we
hired Karen Calcagno. We certainly will miss
Merilee and Frank, but we wish them all the
best as they relocate to the East Coast.
FOOD AND FUNDS…
Thanks to all who participated in the monthly
food fundraiser at Ed & Joe’s Pizzeria. Once
again, we had a successful night where folks
enjoyed a delicious meal while supporting
St. Julie at the same time. For nearly one year
now we have made the rounds to local
eateries who donated a percentage of the
profits back to St. Julie. I want to thank Rita
Beaupre for organizing each event. I also wish
to thank all of you who turned out!

Church’s Initiative on Marriage
Ministers of Praise
The Ministry of Praise is a spiritual
ministry in here at St. Julie where a
group of parishioners offer their
prayers, sufferings, joys and sorrows
to God for the salvation of souls. The
members intercede through the recital
of the rosary and other devotions and
prayers for the personal needs they
have been asked to pray for. They also
pray for the clergy, the people of St.
Julie and world concerns. The sick,
handicapped, homebound and all
seniors are eligible to be members. If
you would be interested in praying for
the needs of others, please contact
the Parish Office and a Minister of
Praise will be in touch.
Let us turn our hearts back to God
and allow him to lead and guide us so
that we can fulfill God’s plan and
purpose for our lives and marriages.

The Religious Education program is for
children in Preschool thru 8th Grades
who attend the district schools. Since
our program is developmental, the
children are expected to attend ALL
levels in order to be fully initiated and
formed into the life of the Church.
If you are reading this, you are most
probably interested in nurturing and
exploring your own faith and possibly
sharing it with others. So, if you have
faith to share and want to fulfill your
Baptismal commitment, how about
considering being a Catechist for the
young people enrolled in our Religious
Education Program?
Feeling inadequate? Please know that all
of your materials are prepared for you
and you also have the opportunity to
meet with the other
Catechists at your
grade level for a
monthly planning
session.
As registration
continues and more students are added
to classrooms, there is a growing need
for more Catechists! There are also
times when our regularly scheduled,
dedicated Catechists are sick or need to
attend a family event or celebration and
they need someone to take their class
for one session. We would like to
cultivate a list of substitutes that can
REALLY be present on those rare
occasions when a Catechist needs
someone. If you can help us by being a
Catechist or Substitute Catechist, please
call the Religious Education Office at
429-1044. As our needs change, you
might be called upon! May God
graciously reward your wonderful
generosity of spirit.

Kentucky Mission Reflection
by Mrs. Christine Safstrom, Chaperone
God's Beautiful Gifts and Blessings:
How did I see, smell, taste, touch, or feel God's presence??
What gifts / blessings of God did I experience throughout
my work, the environment, and people I encountered? How
did I use my gifts / blessings from God to motivate my team,
strengthen the community, and inspire the people that I
encountered?

We Are All Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Each and every day I was incredibly impressed with my
small group's work ethic! As we bonded and reflected
throughout the week, we concluded that the following
characteristics contributed in making us such a strong
team: Motivation, Passion, Loyalty, Integrity, and
Leadership.
We pumped each other up with morning music, singing
on our way to the work sites, taking time to dance and
laugh on our breaks throughout the day. We reminded
each other to stay hydrated and keep going despite the
heat. Best of all though, we each seemed to naturally

Gratitude is truly priceless.

We should pray and celebrate our faith together with
Therefore, I feel one of the greatest gifts we gave
during the week was that of our time. Time to help
beautify the town, someone's yard, a cemetery, church
grounds, schools, and parks. Time to listen to the
people of the community, their stories of struggle and
faith. Time to pray together, share a meal, and sing
praises for the many gifts we sometimes forget to thank
God for. Even time to appreciate the creepy bugs and
all God's creatures. We each have a very special
purpose in the eyes of God.
all of God's children. We should share our songs and
praises with each other and spread the love around the
world. I know that the little 3 year old girl we met
won't remember our names or where we were from,
but she'll remember the group of strangers that came
to her grandmother's house to clean it up and make it
safe and beautiful for her to play around. I pray that
the spirit she found in our friendships will motivate her
to spread the love of Christ in her future years. It's like
how they say "smiling is contagious."
We may not be professional carpenters, painters, or
gardeners. But we have the skills to learn and grow.
We can use sticks to make symbols of faith or music,
rocks to build monuments and places of worship. It's
the passion within us that needs to shine, weeds of sin
that need to be pulled, and God's love to strengthen us.
We need to remember to "preach the Gospel at all
times, and when necessary, use words." People don't
remember what you say, they remember what you do.
We need to take this love from Kentucky and bring it
back to our own communities to share.

Paired Exchange (Kidney Swap)
If you are not a blood type “0” but
would like to be a donor there is
another way you may be able to help
through the Paired Exchange. In a
paired donor exchange, also known as
a kidney swap, two kidney recipients
essentially "swap" willing donors.
While medically eligible to donate,
each donor has an incompatible blood
type or antigens to his or her intended recipient. By agreeing to exchange
recipients - giving the kidney to an
unknown, but compatible individual the donors can provide two patients
with healthy kidneys where previously
no transplant would have been
possible.
The goal of a paired donor exchange
is to make optimal use of willing live
donors, while helping potential recipients off the transplant waiting-list and
back to leading productive lives.
