SCHOOL NEWS... October 13th marked the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima who first appeared to three shepherd children in Portugal on May 13, 1917. For six consecutive months, Our Lady appeared to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. On October 13, 1917, during her last vision to the children, Our Lady performed the "Miracle of the Sun" where gathered crowds saw the sun spin in the sky and plummet to the Earth. This astounding miracle served to confirm everything the children had said. It is still a call for us today to continue to live the message of Fatima-through prayer of the Rosary, penance, and devotion to her Immaculate Heart. Our Lady of Fatima, please pray for us. Religious Education Department News... Borgia Café-Acts-The Spread of the Kingdom The St. Francis Borgia Religious Education Department will be hosting the Borgia CA.F.E.-Catholic Adult Faith Education series-wednesdays, November 8 & 15 at 7:00 p.m. in the Religious Education Center located in Schoolroom 101. We will continue our study of Acts of the Apostles-The Spread of the Kingdom, by Jeff Cavins from The Great Adventure Bible series. The series explores the Biblical narrative in light of Catholic teaching and the historical, cultural and literary context of the Scriptures to discover God s plan and our place within it. Admission and refreshments are free. Please join us! For more information, please contact the St. Francis Borgia Religious Education Office at (773) 625-1705.
PEACE ROSARY PRAYER SERVICE Our Lady at Fatima begged for people to pray the rosary for peace. We began this service after 9/11 and continued until recently. The service will begin again on November 8, Wednesday, after the 8:30 am Mass. It is a scriptural meditation rosary, beginning with Benediction. All are invited, please join us the second Wednesday of every month after the 8:30 am mass.

We urge Catholics and others to promote laws and social policies that protect human life and promote human dignity to the maximum degree possible. Laws that legitimize abortion, assisted suicide, and euthanasia are profoundly unjust and immoral. We support constitutional protection for unborn human life, as well as legislative efforts to end abortion and euthanasia. C.W.C. Meeting Monday, November 6th. Doors open at 11:30 am.

Renew My Church Renew My Church is the Archdiocese of Chicago s call for renewal. Through Renew My Church, the archdiocese is working to strengthen parish vitality and better align its resources and its mission. It s a movement, not a program. That is what Father Jason Malave, Cardinal Cupich s delegate for Renew My Church, told a gathering of parish staff during a meeting at St. John of the Cross Church in Western Springs on Aug. 18. Because it s a movement, every person who calls themselves Catholic will be impacted and enter into to a closer relationship with Jesus, he said. Also because it s a movement, details of the process will change as the archdiocese learns and grows. All 344 archdiocesan parishes are divided into 97 groupings, which will meet over the next few years. The pastor and three others from each parish will be part of the overall grouping feedback and discernment team. If the parish has a school, three people from the school will also be part of that team. The team will meet and take what they ve discussed back to their parish to share with the congregation. The congregations will discuss and the team members will take that feedback back to the team. This will happen several times over about three months. This particular phase is looking at what structure is going to most help them succeed in ministry, Malave said. During the process, the groupings will discuss how various potential structures could serve their communities, given the mission needs of the area and overall resource realities locally and across the diocese. Potential structures could include merging existing parishes into one parish with multiple churches, sharing a pastor or closing a site. Cardinal Cupich will make the final determination on the groupings structures after evaluating the input he receives from each grouping. "The next piece is going to be starting to implement that structure and do some pastoral planning, Malave said. The Archdiocese of Chicago is the third largest archdiocese in the United States, after Los Angeles and New York, with 344 parishes. Many of the parishes in the city of Chicago are more than 100 years old with buildings of similar age.

11 listopada rocznica odzyskania przez Polskę CIEKAWOSTKI Z ŻYCIA ŚWIĘTYCH... 11 listopada to Święto Niepodległości. Ale to też dzień wspomnienia Św. Marcina. Tego dnia w Wielkopolsce tradycyjnie piecze się gęś i zajada rogalami marcińskimi. Św. Marcin wspominany 11 listopada był synem rzymskiego legionisty i gdy dorósł sam także został żołnierzem. To właśnie z tego okresu jego życia pochodzi najbardziej znana o nim opowieść. Św. Marcin miał spotkać na swojej drodze ubogiego człowieka, który był prawie nagi. Podzielił się więc z nim płaszczem żołnierskim. Dlatego został patronem ubogich i żołnierzy. Jedna z historii o św. Marcinie głosi, że gdy chciano nadać mu sakrę biskupią on tego nie chciał. Ukrył się przed wysłannikiem papieża, ale jego kryjówkę zdradziła swoim gęganiem gęś. To od tej opowieści pochodzi zwyczaj pieczenia gęsi na 11 listopada. Zwyczaj ten dotarł do Polski z Niemiec i jest popularny w Wielkopolsce. Znane jest też przysłowie Na Świętego Marcina dobra gęsina. Obok pieczonej gęsi w dzień św. Marcina pieczone są rogale. Dlaczego? Legenda głosi, że gdy św. Marcin przejeżdżał przez Poznań na koniu, koń zgubił podkowę. Miejscowy piekarz znalazł ja i zachwycił się jej kształtem, zaczął więc piec rogale!rogale te są robione z ciasta półfrancuskiego, wypełnione nadzieniem z białego maku z dodatkiem orzechów, rodzynek i migdałów. Chociaż tradycyjnie pieczona gęś i rogale nie są może najmniej kaloryczne, to tego dnia, czyli 11 listopada z okazji wspomnienia Św. Marcina możne te przysmaki jeść do woli!
