FROM THE PASTOR DEL PÁRROCO

(continued on the next page) (continúa en la siguiente página)

Pentecost 2021

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Saint Jerome,

May the peace and blessings of Jesus Christ be with

you all!

Congratulations to our newly confirmed students of

Religious Education. I ask that you continue to deepen

your encounter with Jesus Christ by participating joyfully

in the life of the Church. For everyone, please know that

that there is another group of Confirmation candidates

who will receive the sacrament in September. Please pray

for their mindfulness of the importance of their witnessing

to their Baptismal Promises. Our parish has the

responsibility to accompany them and their families

towards a more responsible and devotional practice of the

Catholic Faith. Our prayer for them is an important

spiritual expression of accompaniment. In addition, our

effort to invite them to participate in our parish life is a

practical way to cultivate the seed of faith that we have

planted in each of them.

Congratulations to Hilda Delgado, Soledad de la Luz

and Oscar Herrera upon their graduation last weekend

from their two-year Pastoral Leadership course at

Mundelein Seminary. Hilda will be leading our Baptismal

Preparation Team together with Deacon Francisco.

Soledad will work with Beatriz Mendoza Breton in

preparing our young girls in the parish who will celebrate

their 15th Birthday/Quinceañera. They will also contribute

their gifts and talents in preparing our parish liturgies.

Oscar expressed his commitment to coordinate our parish

fund-raising events, as he is also a member of our Parish

Finance Council. It is a blessing for our parish to have

dedicated members who are willing to be leaders and

coordinators of various ministries. Please pray for them

and know that the success of the mission of Jesus Christ in

this local church depends upon our willingness to be

zealous workers in the vineyard of the Lord.

Our gratitude to Martin Cambron and his nephew for

working tediously to repair the broken section of our alley

between the Rectory and the Parish Center. This area

between our buildings will be used as our gathering space

during the summertime while we continue to adjust to the

slow but steady process of recovery from the pandemic.

Our Food Sales which are sponsored by our parish groups

and individual families provide much-needed extra income

for the parish operations. I have mentioned before that

your appreciation of their generosity is well expressed by

Pentecostés 2021

Queridos feligreses y amigos de San Jerónimo,

¡Que la paz y las bendiciones de Jesucristo estén con

todos ustedes!

Felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes recién

confirmados de Educación Religiosa. Les pido que sigan

profundizando su encuentro con Jesucristo participando

con alegría en la vida de la Iglesia. Para todos, sepan que

hay otro grupo de candidatos a la Confirmación que

recibirán el sacramento en septiembre. Ore para que sean

conscientes de la importancia de dar testimonio de sus

promesas bautismales. Nuestra parroquia tiene la

responsabilidad de acompañarlos a ellos y a sus familias

hacia una práctica más responsable y devocional de la Fe

Católica. Nuestra oración por ellos es una importante

expresión espiritual de acompañamiento. Además, nuestro

esfuerzo por invitarlos a participar en nuestra vida

parroquial es una forma práctica de cultivar la semilla de fe

que hemos plantado en cada uno de ellos

Felicitaciones a Hilda Delgado, Soledad de la Luz y

Oscar Herrera por su graduación el fin de semana pasado

de su curso de dos años de estudios de Liderazgo Pastoral

en el Seminario Mundelein. Hilda liderará nuestro equipo

de preparación bautismal junto con el diácono Francisco.

Soledad trabajará con Beatriz Mendoza Breton en la

preparación de nuestras jóvenes de la parroquia que

celebrarán su 15º cumpleaños/quinceañera. También

contribuirán con sus dones y talentos en la preparación de

nuestras liturgias parroquiales. Oscar expresó su

compromiso de coordinar los eventos de recaudación de

fondos de nuestra parroquia, ya que también es miembro

de nuestro Consejo Parroquial de Finanzas. Es una

bendición para nuestra parroquia tener miembros

dedicados que estén dispuestos a ser líderes y

coordinadores de varios ministerios. Ore por ellos y sepa

que el éxito de la misión de Jesucristo en esta iglesia local

depende de nuestra voluntad de ser obreros dedicados en la

viña del Señor.

Nuestro agradecimiento a Martin Cambrón y su

sobrino por trabajar tediosamente para reparar la sección

rota del pasillo entre la Rectoría y el Centro Parroquial.

Esta área entre nuestros edificios se utilizará como nuestro

espacio de reunión durante el verano mientras continuamos

adaptándonos al lento pero constante proceso de

recuperación de la pandemia. Nuestras ventas de comida,

que son patrocinadas por nuestros grupos parroquiales y

patronizing our weekend Food Sales.

We are presently in the second phase of our Convent

chapel restoration. You must know by now that the roof

of the chapel collapsed due to the weight of the snow

during the last winter storm in February. The damaged

area of the roof has been repaired; however, the interior

structure of the building was also damaged. I was in

conversation with the Archdiocesan project manager and

the construction company during the week. It is projected

that the interior restoration process will begin in early

June as soon as all the paperwork is done. Also, we are

still waiting for the completion of our chime restoration in

the east bell tower. The Verdin Company will return as

soon as the corrected electrical sources are installed.

Yes, there are plenty of blessings for which we ought

to be thankful. All these projects require much energy and

patience. Event organization demands our participation

and collaboration. Our parish life goes on. I hope that you

have seen how our parish life unfolded during the peak of

the pandemic and now during our transition of recovery

from it. There were some members of our parish who got

sick, some passed away, others lost their jobs, while there

were some others who gave birth to new life after a long

period of home quarantine. It is often hard to see how the

Hand of God is at work in the ordinariness of our daily

routines, especially when the situations are challenging.

The celebration of Pentecost reminds us that no matter

how difficult our situations might be, God never abandons

us. We are assured that our Baptism in Christ and our

Confirmation seals the covenant of God with us. The

Eucharist that we celebrate brings Jesus Himself into our

hearts as our spiritual food when we receive Him

worthily, wherein we become enveloped in the Divine

Identity that Christ shared with us at His Incarnation and

ratified by His Death and Resurrection.

Summertime is on its way. Watch out for the

upcoming events and be a part of them! See you next

weekend. Have a blessed week.

Sincerely in Christ and Mary,

familias individuales, proporcionan ingresos adicionales

muy necesarios para las operaciones parroquiales.

Mencioné antes que su agradecimiento por su generosidad

está bien expresado al patrocinar nuestras ventas de

alimentos de fin de semana.

Actualmente nos encontramos en la segunda fase de la

restauración de la capilla de nuestro convento. A estas

alturas ya deben saber que el techo de la capilla se

derrumbó debido al peso de la nieve durante la última

tormenta invernal de febrero. Se ha reparado el área dañada

del techo; sin embargo, la estructura interior del edificio

también resultó dañada. Estuve conversando con el gerente

de proyectos de la Arquidiócesis y la empresa constructora

durante la semana. Se proyecta que el proceso de

restauración interior comenzará a principios de junio tan

pronto como se haga todo el papeleo. Además, todavía

estamos esperando la finalización de la restauración de

nuestra campana en el campanario este. La compañía

Verdin regresará tan pronto como se instalen las fuentes

eléctricas corregidas.

Sí, hay muchas bendiciones por las que debemos estar

agradecidos. Todos estos proyectos requieren mucha

energía y paciencia. La organización de eventos exige

nuestra participación y colaboración. Nuestra vida

parroquial continúa. Espero que hayan visto cómo se

desarrolló nuestra vida parroquial durante el pico de la

pandemia y ahora durante nuestra transición de

recuperación de ella. Hubo algunos miembros de nuestra

parroquia que se enfermaron, algunos fallecieron, otros

perdieron sus trabajos, mientras que hubo otros que dieron

a luz a una nueva vida después de un largo período de

cuarentena domiciliaria. A menudo es difícil ver cómo la

Mano de Dios está trabajando en la rutina de nuestras

rutinas diarias, especialmente cuando las situaciones son

desafiantes. La celebración de Pentecostés nos recuerda

que no importa cuán difíciles sean nuestras situaciones,

Dios nunca nos abandona. Estamos seguros de que nuestro

bautismo en Cristo y nuestra confirmación sellan el pacto

de Dios con nosotros. La Eucaristía que celebramos trae a

Jesús mismo a nuestros corazones como nuestro alimento

espiritual cuando lo recibimos dignamente, en el que nos

envuelve la Identidad Divina que Cristo compartió con

nosotros en Su Encarnación y ratificado por Su Muerte y

Resurrección.

El verano está en camino. ¡Esté atento a los próximos

eventos y sea parte de ellos! Nos vemos el próximo fin de

semana. Que tengan una semana bendecida.

“SEND, O LORD, HOLY APOSTLES INTO YOUR CHURCH.” “ENVÍA, SEÑOR, APÓSTOLES SANTOS A TU IGLESIA”.
