Dear Parishioners,
Today we welcome Cody Armock, who is a first year pre-theologian at Mundelein Seminary and is studying to be a priest for the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Cody has already been in college for four years, has earned a bachelor’s degree, and has decided to dedicate his life to the service of God through the priesthood. Let us make sure that we are generous in our second collection today for the support of our seminary system. If you know of anyone, whether it be in your family, neighborhood, or social communities who you think would make a good priest please encourage them to pray and to contact me. As your pastor, I will be more than happy to encourage this vocation and instruct them of the different programs in the Archdiocese of Chicago. It is never too early to encourage a vocation, the Archdiocese of Chicago has a program for those who are freshman in high school and much older. Please encourage vocations so our church will continue to thrive and endure.
Next weekend is Homecoming for our parish football teams. For well over a month our teams have been playing their hearts out and putting out a great effort. Pregame festivities will begin at 1:30pm with our games against Our Lady of the Ridge, immediately following the National Anthem. Coach Hardiman will be available for autographs for a few minutes after the Varsity game. Food will be available and our Annual Knights of Columbus Soccer Kick Challenge will take place.
I thank all those parishioners and people who participated in our parish golf outing. Whether you golfed, sponsored a hole, donated an item, gave a donation, or prayed for our event, it was a great suc-cess. Many people were pleased and had fun golfing, whether they golf once a year or once a week.
God Bless,
Father Marty

It doesn’t cost anything to join and you can come whenever it suits you. Please plan to join us soon and be sure to bring your friends!
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
The message found in today's readings is an oft-told story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas are only a few of the familiar fictional charac-ters who thought enormous wealth could buy happi-ness and fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the printed word and stardom for his young wife, while King Midas conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his very touch.
We learn clearly in today's readings that none of this is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for someone other than ourselves. It comes from the pursuit of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith, love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and endurance. The Gospel reminds us that we dare not ignore the needs of others, acting as though we don't notice their suffering. God's call to us is much too clear to disregard for even one more day.

Feast of St. Vincent de Paul
September 27th
St. Vincent de Paul was born in Gascony in 1581 A.D. He completed his studies and
became a parish priest in Paris. St. Vincent founded the “Congregation of the Mission” to help with the formation of priests and provide help to the poor. He also founded the “Congregation of the Daughters of Charity” with the help of Saint Louise De Marillac. St. Vincent died in 1660 A.D. He is the Patron Saint of Charitable Societies. St. Alexander’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul continues to carry on the message of St. Vincent de Paul.
“Extend your mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should with-draw His Mercy from us.”
