2 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, From the Pastor s Desk During this time of Advent we are all running around and concerned with many things to ensure that our celebration of Christmas will be happy and enjoyable. I read a n article recently by Allison Gingras titled 4 Practical Ways to Stay Connected to Jesus. As we continue to prepare for Christmas, I think that these four suggestions can help us keep Jesus in Christmas. wmlego@gmail.com (773) ext. 129 jdowling42@gmail.com (773) ext. 115 Parish Information Masses 4pm Saturday 6:45 am and 11 am Sunday Confessions 5-6pm Saturday Telephone: (773) Build a Daily Practice of Prayer (even if it means praying in the bathroom) Prayer is simply a conversation with Jesus. Of course, formal times of prayer are spiritually beneficial, however, daily life can sometimes make them impossible. While a simple chat with Jesus can happen any time and any place. Some ideas: Pray when you first wake up or just before you fall asleep. Pray in your car as your drive to work or running errands pray for your neighbors, the people in your community, and even the dead as you pass a cemetery. Pray during chores, nothing makes folding laundry, washing dishes, or vacuuming more appealing than praying for the people who dirtied them in the first place. 2. Develop a Daily Practice of Reading the Scriptures What a gift the Bible is! We have been given access to the teachings of God, think about the magnificence of what the Scriptures provide us. The inspired Word of God available for us to read, ponder, and learn, through the power of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is kind of mind-blowing! Some Ideas: Read the daily Mass readings. Try Bible Roulette. Simply pray for the Holy Spirit s guidance, and then open the Bible to a random page and let Jesus surprise you. 3. Continue Your Faith Education with Spiritual Reading Despite what many believe, Confirmation was not our graduation from religious education but instead is our invitation to seek a higher education in the Catholic faith. When we consider the fact we are seeking to probe an unfathomable God it is truly impossible to deplete the resources available to grow in knowledge of him. Some ideas. Read the Exploring the Catholic Classics: How Spiritual Reading Can Help You Grow in Wisdom, by Tiffany Walsh (monthly contributor at CatholicMom.com, contributing writer for The Catholic Hipster Handbook); part of the Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women series available from GraceWatch.Media. 4. Meet Regularly with Others on the Same Journey The Apostles were sent two by two to bring the Gospel far and wide. Jesus knew they would need each other as companions and support on their journeys of faith. We too need others alongside us on our faith journeys. There are great benefits to being connected with friends who can lift us up when we are feeling weak or discouraged in our faith, or being able to offer that support likewise to our friends. It is also a joy to be surrounded at times by people who share in the joy of living a life seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. Some ideas: Start a small group faith sharing or bible study at your church. Really live the gospel of hospitality and invite others into your home for a book club. Create a virtual faith sharing group via your social media. Rev. William Lego, OSA WE SHARE CHRIST S LIGHT AND OUR FAITH IS DEEPENED AS WE CELEBRATE THE DIVERSITY OF OUR PARISH.

3 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Del Escritorio del Párroco Durante este tiempo de Adviento, todos estamos corriendo y preocupados por muchas cosas para asegurarnos de que nuestra celebración de la Navidad sea "feliz" y "agradable". Leí un artículo recientemente de Allison Gingras titulado "4 maneras prácticas de estar conectado con Jesús" "Mientras continuamos preparándonos para la Navidad, creo que estas cuatro sugerencias pueden ayudarnos a mantener a Jesús en la Navidad. wmlego@gmail.com (773) ext. 129 Información Parroquial Sacramentos en Español Misas 8:00AM 1:00PM los domingos Reconciliación 5:00PM los sábados Bautismos el segundo domingo de cada mes a las 2:00PM. Tiene que registrarse en la oficina parroquial. Celebraciones de Bodas y Quinceaños tiene que hacer una cita con un sacerdote para arreglar su boda o su misa de quince años. Favor de no reserve un salón antes de hablar con el sacerdote. Teléfono (773) Construya una práctica diaria de oración (incluso si eso significa orar en el baño) La oración es simplemente una conversación con Jesús. Por supuesto, los tiempos formales de oración son espiritualmente beneficiosos, sin embargo, la vida diaria a veces puede hacerlos imposibles. Mientras que una simple charla con Jesús puede suceder en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar. Algunas ideas: Ora cuando te levantas por primera vez o justo antes de quedarte dormido. Ore en su automóvil: mientras conduce al trabajo o hace mandados, ore por sus vecinos, las personas de su comunidad e incluso los muertos al pasar por un cementerio. Orar durante las tareas, nada hace que doblar la ropa, lavar los platos o aspirar sea más atractivo que orar por las personas que los ensuciaron en primer lugar. 2. Desarrollar una práctica diaria de leer las Escrituras Qué regalo es la Biblia! Se nos ha dado acceso a las enseñanzas de Dios, piense en la magnificencia de lo que las Escrituras nos proporcionan. La Palabra de Dios inspirada disponible para que lea, reflexione y aprenda, a través del poder del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Es una especie de alucinante! Algunas ideas Lea las lecturas de la misa diaria. Prueba la "ruleta de la Biblia". Simplemente ore por la guía del Espíritu Santo, y luego abra la Biblia en una página al azar y deje que Jesús lo sorprenda. 3. Continúa tu educación de fe con lectura espiritual A pesar de lo que muchos creen, la Confirmación no fue nuestra "graduación" de la educación religiosa, sino que es nuestra invitación a buscar una educación superior en la fe católica. Cuando consideramos el hecho de que estamos buscando sondear a un Dios inimaginable, es verdaderamente imposible agotar los recursos disponibles para crecer en el conocimiento de él. Algunas ideas. Lea la sección Explorando los clásicos católicos: Cómo la lectura espiritual puede ayudarlo a crecer en sabiduría, por Tiffany Walsh (colaboradora mensual de CatholicMom. com, escritora colaboradora de The Catholic Hipster Handbook); parte de la serie Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women disponible en GraceWatch.Media. 4. Reunirse regularmente con otros en el mismo viaje Los apóstoles fueron enviados de dos en dos para llevar el Evangelio a todas partes. Jesús sabía que se necesitarían mutuamente como compañeros y apoyo en sus viajes de fe. Nosotros también necesitamos a otros a nuestro lado en nuestros viajes de fe. Hay grandes beneficios al estar en contacto con amigos que pueden elevarnos cuando nos sentimos débiles o desanimados en nuestra fe, o poder ofrecer ese apoyo de la misma manera a nuestros amigos. También es una alegría estar rodeado a veces por personas que comparten la alegría de vivir una vida buscando una relación más profunda con Cristo. Algunas ideas: Comience un pequeño grupo de intercambio de fe o estudio bíblico en su iglesia. Vive realmente el "evangelio de la hospitalidad" e invita a otros a tu casa para un club de lectura. Crea un grupo de intercambio de fe virtual a través de tus redes sociales. Pd. Guillermo Lego, OSA REFLEJAMOS LA LUZ DE CRISTO Y PROFUNDIZAMOS NUESTRA FE CUANDO CELEBRAMOS LA DIVERSIDAD DE NUESTRA PARROQUIA.

Prosze dzwonic na plebanie Telefon (773) Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie, Od proboszcza biurka W tym czasie Adwentu wszyscy jestesmy zabiegani i zatroskani, aby nasze świętowanie świąt Bożego Narodzenia było "szczęśliwe" i "przyjemne". Niedawno przeczytałem artykuł Allison Gingras zatytułowany "4 Praktyczne sposoby trwania w łączności z Jezusem "Kiedy kontynuujemy przygotowania do Bożego Narodzenia, myślę, że te cztery sugestie mogą pomóc przygotowac sie na Boże Narodzenie. 1. Codzienna praktyka modlitwy (nawet jeśli oznacza to modlitwę w łazience) Modlitwa to po prostu rozmowa z Jezusem. Prosta rozmowa z Jezusem może się zdarzyć w dowolnym czasie i dowolnym miejscu. Jakieś pomysły: Módl się, gdy się obudzisz lub tuż przed zaśnięciem. Módl się w swoim samochodzie - gdy jedziecie do pracy lub załatwiacie sprawy, modlicie się za sąsiadów, ludzi w waszym sasiedztwie, a nawet za zmarłych podczas mijania cmentarza. Módlcie się podczas wykonywania obowiązków domowych. 2. Praktyka codziennego czytania Pisma Świętego Jaki podarunek jest w Biblii! Otrzymaliśmy dostęp do nauk Boga! Pomyślmy o wspaniałości tego, co dostarcza nam Pismo Święte. Natchnione Słowo Boże dostępne do czytania, rozważania i uczenia się dzięki mocy Ojca, Syna i Ducha Świętego. Czytaj czytania z codziennej Mszy. Przed czytaniem Pisma Swietego módlcie się o swiatlo Ducha Świętego, a następnie otwórzcie Biblię na przypadkowej stronie i pozwólcie Jezusowi was zaskoczyć. 3. Poglebiaj swoja wiary dzięki czytaniu ksiazek religijnych Czytaj artykuly w czasopismach religijnych lub korzystaj z Internetu, by wysluchac kazania. 4. Regularnie spotykaj się we wspolnocie osob wierzacych Apostołowie zostali posłani po dwóch, aby nieść Ewangelię daleko. Jezus wiedział, że będą potrzebować siebie nawzajem jako towarzyszy i wsparcia podczas podróży wiary. My także potrzebujemy innych, którzy towarzyszą nam podczas naszych pielgrzymki wiary. Korzyści płynące z bycia połączonym z przyjaciółmi, którzy mogą nas podnieść, gdy czujemy się słabi lub zniechęceni w naszej wierze, lub mogą zaoferować to wsparcie również naszym przyjaciołom. To także radość być otoczonym przez ludzi, którzy mają udział w radości życia w poszukiwaniu głębszej relacji z Chrystusem. Rozpocznijcie dzielenie się wiarą w małych grupach lub studium biblijne w waszym kościele. Naprawdę żyjcie "ewangelią gościnności" i zapraszajcie innych do swojego domu. Ks.

Today has traditionally been called Gaudete Sunday. The Latin tag is derived from Paul s appeal in the second reading to rejoice always in the Lord, and the Latin Mass text based on that reading. The irony and paradox of this Christian joy is underlined by the fact that Paul wrote those words in prison. But from there he could see the progress of God s work. Is it obvious to us? We feel that this is not the time for joy when there is so much suffering and moral evil. It is interesting, then, that the first reading is from the prophet Zephaniah, who is almost exclusively concerned with gloomy visions of Judgment Day. Today the Church selects the only optimistic text in Zephaniah, in which the prophet has been touched by the spirit of joy. ST VINCENT DE PAUL FOOD OF THE MONTH CLUB It s December, it s Advent, we re all preparing for Christmas, and what better way to prepare than to do something good for someone in need. St. Vincent De Paul is looking for your help in filling a need in our Food Pantry. We re running low on Spaghetti O s, Ravioli and Canned Pasta Dinners.

9 THANK YOU FROM THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY Once again, the Annual St. Vincent de Paul Thanksgiving Distribution was a huge success, due to the generosity of so many of you. Because of you, we were able to provide all of our families who attended with Turkeys and all the trimmings. At this time, we would like to thank everyone who helped us provide a great Thanksgiving dinner for all those in need. First of all, to all of you, the FAMILY OF ST. TURIBIUS, for your consistent help with donations of food and monetary gifts. You are the main support of our organization, and your generosity has always been something that we can depend on. TOTAL DONATIONS $9, Sunday Collections December 2, 2018 $6, $5, in 248 Envelopes $1, Loose Another thank you to our Building Engineer, MR. BRAULIO ALVARADO, for setting up all the tables and chairs in the hall for the evening, Once again this year, a great big thank you to BINGO MIKE and the ST. TURIBIUS BINGO PATRONS, for their very generous weekly donations of food. Mike explained our Thanksgiving Distribution, he sent out the call for food, and the bingo patrons responded in the most wonderful way. A very special Thank You this year to one of our Parishioners, MR. KEN SHINKUS, for all of his hard work on the evening of our Distribution. Ken had heard that we were short handed and could use a little help, so he arrived early to help carry and set up all the food, stayed all evening to help distribute the food, and was one of the last people to leave the hall, after all the food was returned to the Pantry and the hall was finally cleaned. We often talk of the fact that we are the Family of St. Turibius, and, even though he is not a member of St. Vincent DePaul Society, as a member of the St. Turibius Family, Ken did what families do, he stepped up to help us out. Thank you Ken. 4:00 PM: $ $ in 42 Envelopes $ Loose 6:45 AM: $ $ in 26 Envelopes $ Loose 8:00 AM: $ $ in 24 Envelopes $ Loose 9:30 AM: $ $ in 41 Envelopes $ Loose 11:00 AM: $2, $2, in 46 Envelopes $ Loose 1:00 PM: $1, $ in 33 Envelopes $ Loose Rectory: $ Envelopes Other Donations $2, Another great big thank you to some of the best kids in the world, our very own ST. TURIBIUS RELIGIOUS EDUCATION STUDENTS. They arrived early in the evening, and carried all the stored food from the convent and the rectory over to the church basement. They helped set it up on the tables so that it could be viewed and distributed to all of our families. Their smiling faces and helping hands were visible all evening as they helped our clients fill their bags with food, and helped carry the food out to their waiting cars. They stayed until the very end and helped return all the food to the Pantry in the Rectory and helped clean up the hall. We cannot say enough about all these wonderful kids --- may God Bless them as they prepare for their Confirmation. To the members of the ST. TURIBIUS YOUTH GROUP, who volunteered two weekends of their time to stand outside the Jewel Food Store on Pulaski to collect funds for the needy, thereby enabling that Jewel store to donate packages of Turkey and all the trimmings to our Thanksgiving Distribution. Another great big Thank You to the JEWEL FOOD STORE on 53rd and Pulaski Road for their consistent donations of food for our Thanksgiving celebrations. In closing, we would like to thank everyone who helped make this evening a huge success. The Thanksgiving Distribution is a vital part of our Mission to serve, and it is also a complex evening involving a great deal of physical labor, which we could never accomplish without everyone s help. Our favorite method of thanking you is to say, God Bless You All and, once again, we couldn t have done it without you! A Very Special Thank You to the Parishioners of St. Turibius!
