Shinkle Watch their story on Anna Slater our website at Bonnie Trainor, LCSW www.helpaidforwomen.org Our Mission With dozens of abortion clinics in the city of Chicago, Aid for Women’s pregnancy help centers are on the front line of the abortion battle. Aid for Women provides a safe refuge from abortion providers for thousands of women who are facing unexpected pregnancies. These women contact our 24-hour pregnancy helpline and visit our centers every day: “How much does an abortion cost?” “Do you offer the abortion pill?” “My parents will kick me out if I have this baby.” “I can’t afford to have a baby.” “I’m in college. I can’t have this baby.” “I’m already overwhelmed with the children I have.” The women who come to Aid for Women for help are the inner-city teenager, the married and college-educated woman in her thirties and every woman in between. The road that leads them to Aid for Women is a difficult one, and they face a tough journey ahead. These young abortion-vulnerable women live in a society that has failed to protect them and the life in their womb. THE TRAGIC REALITY AROUND US Over 57 million unborn babies have been victims of abortion in the United States since its legalization in 1973. That’s 1.3 million babies each year or 3,600 babies each day killed by abortion in the United States. In Cook County, Illinois, one out of four pregnancies ends in abortion. In 2016, a reported 21,747 babies were victims of abortion. That’s 60 abortions each day or one baby aborted every 24 minutes in Cook County. AID FOR WOMEN 2017 RESPONSE 5,579 Pregnant Women in Crisis Served 2,468 One-on-One Counseling Sessions 5,048 Nights of Housing $ 49,923 Material Goods Provided $ 0 in Government Funding 1 Services and Programs Aid for Women helps thousands of women each year in the Chicago metropolitan area who find themselves facing unexpected pregnancies. Each woman is provided with the emotional, practical and spiritual support that she needs to choose life for her unborn baby and to provide a better future for herself and her child. Our life-affirming services are offered free-of-charge. Our Locations PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS Downtown Chicago Loop - 8 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL Portage Park - St. Pascal Church, 3954 N. Meade Ave., Chicago, IL Cicero - St. Frances of Rome Church, 1400 S. Austin Blvd., Cicero, IL Des Plaines - Maryville Academy, 1150 N.

Meade Ave., Chicago, IL Pregnancy Help Centers 24-HOUR HELPLINE Aid for Women provides a 24-hour helpline and textline so that women facing crisis pregnancies can receive help and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are deeply grateful to OptionLine for their partnership in providing this critical service. COMPASSIONATE COUNSELING One-on-One Counseling Each client is provided with compassionate counseling. We discuss the development of her baby, abortion procedures and risks, adoption possibilities as well as address the underlying issues which are making her pregnancy decision difficult. We help the client address these issues, while guiding and supporting her in her pregnancy and in developing a plan for her future and that of her baby. PREGNANCY TESTS AND ULTRASOUND EXAMS Following a pregnancy test at one of our centers, a limited obstetrical ultrasound exam is available to the client after the seventh week of pregnancy. The ultrasound allows us to share the fetal age and approximate due date with the client as well as to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. The ultrasound exam also allows the client to observe her baby’s heartbeat and movements. Earn While You Learn 2 ABORTION PILL REVERSAL Most women who immediately have regret after taking the abortion pill have no idea that, if they act quickly, the effects of the abortion pill can be reversed, and they can still have a healthy baby. We are working diligently on outreach so that more women will know this life-saving procedure is available to them through our pregnancy help centers. MEDICAL AND COMMUNITY REFERRALS Our clients come to us with many different material, physical Client Support Group and emotional needs — including housing, food, employment, healthcare and relationship issues. Aid for Women has established partnerships with a network of medical and community agencies, including Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago and Presence Health hospitals and physicians, which allow us to better address and serve the needs of our clients and their families. EARN WHILE YOU LEARN (EWYL) PROGRAM Aid for Women clients are invited to join the Earn While You Learn Program (EWYL). By participating in this exciting and unique program, clients gain valuable knowledge about pregnancy and becoming the best parents they can be — all while earning new baby items along the way. Annual Client Christmas Party CLIENT SUPPORT GROUPS Our support groups meet regularly and provide an opportunity for clients to meet one another and receive ongoing support from Aid for Women throughout their pregnancies and beyond. Discussion topics include parenting, self-care, growing in faith and more! Residential Programs Many Aid for Women clients consider abortion because they lack adequate housing or will be otherwise homeless if they choose life. Francis Cardinal George Chapel of Life at Monica’s House HEATHER’S HOUSE Located on the Maryville Academy Campus in Des Plaines, Illinois, Heather’s House provides a safe and nurturing home where pregnant women and their babies can live. Heather’s House offers residents an opportunity to develop the life skills, education and job skills necessary to become independent and loving mothers. MONICA’S HOUSE Located at St. Pascal Church in Chicago’s Portage Park neighborhood, Monica’s House serves as a transitional home for Heather’s House residents who have had their babies and are either going to school or working. Monica’s House provides these new mothers greater Staff Member with Resident independence, while they work toward completing their goals. 3 In the Beginning Saving Lives for Forty Years | 1978 - 2018 In 1973, abortion on demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy became legal in the United States, and the deaths of millions of unborn children followed. Many found this appalling and realized that, more than ever, something had to be done to defend the lives of these children and to provide support to women and teens facing unexpected pregnancies. Deacon Thomas Bresler One who acted decisively was Thomas Bresler, a newly ordained deacon at Holy Cross Catholic Church in suburban Deerfield, Illinois. He accepted this challenge as his mission, and in 1977, met with a small but eager group in his living room. On October 6, 1978, Deacon Bresler along with Nancy Corbett, Penny Crowley, Mary Kraychy and Mona Lukas opened Aid for Women, a pregnancy help center in Deerfield, Illinois, to serve the needs of women in the area and to offer alternatives to abortion. In 1981, a second location was opened at 8 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago’s downtown Loop to confront the abortion facilities opening throughout the city. Ann Covey Today, with a total of four pregnancy help centers and two residential programs, Aid for Women continues our founder’s legacy by providing compassionate care and practical support to thousands of women who are facing unexpected pregnancies each year. Sharing our history would not be complete without noting those individuals who have generously offered their time, talent and treasure for the past forty years to support and sustain Aid for Women’s mission of serving God by promoting and defending human life. We are deeply grateful to our pregnancy help center and residential program volunteers, Vitae Corps members, Board Rita “Heather” Bresler members, Auxiliary members, Junior Board members, event volunteers, community partners and the thousands of individuals and parishes who have given their financial support.

    Symposium on the 2015 Synod on the Family Conscience and the Synod: An Evolving Quaestio Disputata James T. Bretzke, S.J. ERTAINLY UNDER THE FRANCIS PAPACY our Roman teapot is filled to the brim with leaves clamoring to be read and deciphered—too many in fact for even a cursory overview. C Instead I would like to articulate one hypothesis and then probe it by looking at just a couple of the tea-leaves that have collected around contrasting views on the relationship of conscience and Church teaching. First the hypothesis: I believe that a helpful way to read the tea- leaves is by considering them in terms of a major cultural paradigm shift taking place in the Church.1 This shift began with the run-up to Vatican II and we’ve been witnessing something of a protracted tug- of-war ever since. Clearly in the Franciscan papacy the energy has again shifted and this in turn has occasioned a considerable amount of push-back from forces that once enjoyed great influence in the previ- ous two pontificates. One core tension revolves around various understandings of con- science, and especially in connection to its relationship to the Church’s magisterium. For example, in the Instrumentum laboris for the Octo- ber 2015 Synod, the paragraphs on conscience, especially no. 137, came in for considerable critical attention before the Synod opened. The problematic paragraph suggested that couples “under the regular guidance of a competent spiritual guide… [could] make choices which are humanly fulfilling and ones which conform to God’s will” and that these might strike a balance between the “objective moral norm which does not permit considering the act of generation a reality to be de- 1 For a fuller treatment of this paradigm shift in the papacy of Pope Francis, see James T.

  • Restored Order Receiving the Sacraments of Initiation in Their Original Order
    Restored Order Receiving the Sacraments of Initiation in their original order Baptism Confirmation Eucharist Restored Order Recently Bishop Thomas Paprocki promulgated a new norm • restoring of the original order of the Sacraments of Initiation. • “Looking at the question of the sequence and age for the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation, the (Diocesan) Synod voted that the Sacraments of Christian Initiation shall be offered in the proper sequence (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) • for children as well as adults. Restored Order • To promote discipleship and stewardship as a way of life from an early age, • those who are baptized as infants are to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist at about the age of reason, which in this diocese will normally be in their third grade of elementary school, • after they have properly prepared and have made sacramental confession.” (Homily from the Closing of the Fourth Diocesan Synod, November 26, 2017) What is the historical and theological vision for Christian Initiation? • In the early Church the sacraments of initiation were three: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. • They were celebrated together in a single rite, with a bishop as celebrant. • This was the practice of the Roman Rite up until the 5th or 6th century when bishops could no longer be present at all baptisms, leading to a time of separation between baptism and confirmation. • At first the time of separation was short, but as time went on, the delay for the bishop to arrive grew. • Still the Church celebrated the sacraments in the order of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist until last century.

  • Springfield Diocese
    Clerical Abuse and Misconduct: Diocese of Springfield in Illinois by Gene Thomas Gomulka A former North American College (NAC) seminarian, Anthony Gorgia, filed an explosive lawsuit against Cardinal Timothy Dolan and NAC officials, including the NAC rector and Diocese of Springfield in Illinois priest, Father Peter Harman. Filled with graphic details, the lawsuit alleges that Gorgia was reprised against and coerced into leaving seminary after he received word from other NAC seminarians about inappropriate physical behavior toward vulnerable seminarians by the NAC vice-rector, Washington Archdiocese priest, Father Adam Park, which Gorgia himself witnessed. The lawsuit maintains that Gorgia was perceived as a threat to revealing the depth of the secret homosexual lifestyles of NAC officials, including Harman. As such, according to the lawsuit, Harman and Dolan used entirely false and easily disprovable claims as a pretext to extract Gorgia from the seminary without any justification. A priest with decades of seminary experience attested to the fact that no seminarian is discontinued just three months into the academic year after having just received the faculty’s unanimous vote to advance to that year, as Gorgia did, or having a stellar and exemplary record, as Gorgia had, on the basis of absurd reasons. If a seminarian is discontinued in the middle of an academic year, it is either because he has discerned he is not called to priesthood, or because he committed a serious offense. Insofar as neither of these conditions apply to Gorgia, the real motives of Harman, Dolan, and complicit clerics’ actions demand explanation. To understand why Dolan had such an intense interest in covering up misconduct at the expense of causing harm to Gorgia, one needs to consider the ordeal Father Ryszard Biernat suffered in the Diocese of Buffalo.

  • Exorcist Shortage Has U.S. Bishops Trying to Recruit More
    Exorcist shortage has U.S. bishops trying to recruit more A crucifix and holy water are among the religious items used in the rite of exorcism.Nancy Wiechec, Catholic News Service U.S. bishops are looking for a few good men to become exorcists. In response to growing interest in the rite of exorcism and a shortage of trained exorcists nationwide, the bishops are sponsoring a two-day conference prior to their 2010 fall general assembly Nov. 15-18 in Baltimore. Interest in the Nov. 12-13 Conference on the Liturgical and Pastoral Practice of Exorcism proved great. When registration closed Nov. 1, 56 bishops and 66 priests had signed up. Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Ill., chairman of the bishops’ Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, told Catholic News Service he knows of perhaps five or six exorcists in the United States. They are overwhelmed with requests to perform the rite, he said. “Actually, each diocese should have its own resource (person),” Paprocki said. Only those priests who get permission from their bishops can perform an exorcism after proper training. At Baptism, the rite of exorcism is performed in a simple form. A solemn or major exorcism, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “is directed at the expulsion of demons or to the liberation from demonic possession through the spiritual authority which Jesus entrusted in his Church.” Scripture contains several examples of Jesus casting out evil spirits from people. “We don’t think that’s poetic metaphor,” Paprocki said. Despite the many requests for an exorcism, the actual number of people possessed by a demon is far fewer than people fear, Paprocki said.
