Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them. As she looked to her future under the spiritual guidance of a Jesuit priest, Rose became convinced that she was called to become a teacher in the world rather than a contemplative nun in a convent. Clearly, she made the right choice: She was a born teacher, and the free school for girls she opened in 1685 was well received. Soon the cardinal invited her to oversee the training of teachers and the administration of schools in his diocese of Montefiascone. As Rose’s reputation grew, she was called upon to organize schools in many parts of Italy, including Rome. Her disposi- tion was right for the task as well, for Rose often met considerable opposition but was never deterred. She died in Rome in 1728, where a number of miracles were attributed to her. She was beatified in 1952 and canonized in 2006. The sodality, or group of women she had invited to prayer, was ultimately given the rank of a religious congregation. Today, the so-called Venerini Sisters can be found in the United States and else- where, working among Italian immigrants. Her feast day is May 7. St. Rose Venerini, pray for us! Information from Franciscan Media (franciscanmedia.org) Santo de la Semana: Santa Rosa Venerini Rose (1656-1728) nació en Viterbo, Italia, hija de un médico. Tras la muerte de su prometido entró en un con- vento, pero pronto regresó a casa para cuidar de su madre recién viuda. Mientras tanto, Rose invitó a las mujeres del vecindario a recitar el rosario en su casa, formando una especie de sodality con ellas. Mientras miraba hacia su futuro bajo la guía espiritual de un sacerdote jesuita, Rose se convenció de que estaba llamada a convertirse en maestra en el mundo en lugar de monja contemplativa en un convento. Claramente, tomó la decisión correcta: Ella era una maestra nacida, y la escuela gratuita para niñas que abrió en 1685 fue bien recibida. Pronto el cardenal la invitó a supervisar la formación de los maestros y la administración de escuelas en su diócesis de Montefiascone. A medida que la reputación de Rose creció, fue llamada a organizar escuelas en muchas partes de Italia, incluyendo Roma. Su disposición era adecuada para la tarea también, ya que Rose a menudo se encontró con una oposición considerable, pero nunca fue disuadido. Murió en Roma en 1728, donde se le atribuyeron una serie de milagros. Fue beatificada en 1952 y canonizada en 2006. La sodaalidad, o grupo de mujeres a las que había invitado a la oración, finalmente recibió el rango de congregación religiosa. Hoy en día, las llamadas Hermanas Venerini se pueden encontrar en los Estados Unidos y en otros lugares, trabajando entre inmigrantes italianos. Su día de fiesta es el 7 de mayo. Rosa Venerini, ¡reza por nosotros!

The link to pick up the weekly English and Spanish editions is http://www.dioceseofjoliet.org/reo/content1.php?secid=81 NEW MASS AND CONFESSION SCHEDULE PLANNED We are planning what the resumption of services will be like once the stay-at-home order is lifted. The plan seeks to limit the size of the gatherings and provide enough social distancing as we all ease back into communal prayer life. Here are some of the highlights of this plan. • The Mass schedule times for Saturday and Sunday are being altered to accommodate for additional services on both days. • Masses on Saturday will be at 4:00pm and 6:00pm with music. • Mass on Sunday 7:00am is intended for the elderly and those wishing to limit exposure. This Mass will not have music. Other Sunday Masses will be at 8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30, and 1:00pm Spanish Mass. • There will be no communion service or Mass on Monday or Tuesday to allow additional time for cleaning of the building. • Regular confession time has been moved to Wednesday after 8:30am Mass - no longer on Saturday. • This plan is subject to change. • No dates are known as to when services will actually resume, but we have a plan for when they do.
