4 | October 18, 2020 St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church The Liturgy and Music Department at St. Thomas the Apostle is working to provide a new, virtual faith activity for the community. As the Youth Choir cannot resume this Fall, the orientation for these weekly services is geared toward children and families, but of course all children of God can benefit from Scripture, Prayer and Song.

Each Wednesday, a video will be posted on the website of a short (less than 10 minutes) service of Word and Song, provided by varying members of the St. Thomas the Apostle St. Thomas staff and community. These Worship Wednesdays will give a mid- week opportunity to gather in prayer, delve into scripture and unite in song.

Please join us!

All Souls Day Our annual All Souls Day Liturgy will be held at St. Thomas the Apostle on Monday, November 2 at 7:00 pm. Those who have died this past year will be remembered in a special way.

Because of capacity limits, this Mass will initially be by invitation only. After we hear from those families, we will open up the any remaining seats to the rest of the parish — starting Saturday, October 24. Please note that the Mass will also be livestreamed so there is an opportunity to participate from home.

Christmas at St. Thomas Worship Commission Survey About Christmas The leaves are just changing and school has barely started, but at St. Thomas thoughts are on how to celebrate Christmas this year in light of the current pandemic and its restrictions on worshiping together. St. Thomas continues to strive to maintain community during this difficult time, which has been a hallmark of our parish for over 35 years. The Worship Commission, is looking for your feedback to help craft the way to best celebrate the birth of Jesus. Keeping in mind that Diocesan rules are ever-changing, we still need to begin to plan so that we can ensure the best possible experience for all parishioners. Although we know many are occupied with the beginning of the school year and other life events, we hope a few moments can be spared to prayerfully consider the questions on the survey. You can access the survey on the St. Thomas website at www.stapostle.org. Thank you!!

6 | October 18, 2020 St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church Hello St. Thomas! One of my very favorite activities at St. Thomas is the Harvest Sunday food drive. It is always heartwarming to see so many parishioners and volunteers come together for one cause … to donate and collect food. With the pandemic, it is easy to understand that the need for food donations is still there, perhaps even more so. With the pandemic, we also know that we need to do harvest Sunday differently this year. However, there are still safe ways to donate and to volunteer so that we can continue this beautiful St. Thomas Harvest Sunday tradition. ~Peggy Goralski, Director Middle School Faith Formation

What is Harvest Sunday? This food drive enables St. Thomas and two other food pantries to supply food to those in need. As a result of the pandemic, pantries are in greater need this year.

The St. Thomas Challenge The pandemic has increased the number of “food challenged” families. The pandemic has made it more challenging to gather food donations for our Care Pantry and other pantries. The St. Thomas Challenge is for every St. Thomas family, if they are able, to make a Harvest Sunday food donation.

How to Donate Food • Curb Donation: If you DO receive a flyer on your door, place your food donation at the curb by 11:00 am on Harvest Sunday. • Drive Thru Donation: If you DO NOT receive a flyer on your door, make a drive-thru donation at St. Thomas during the following times: Saturday, October 31, from 4:00–6:00 pm. Harvest Sunday, November 1, from 9:00 am–5:00 pm. • On-Line Donation: Food donations through Amazon.com. It is easy. Order from a list of items with a variety of prices. Select St. Thomas Gift Registry Address. Use the following link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KGBPLY5FZVYG?type=wishlist

Volunteers Needed (Go to www.stapostle.com for more information and to volunteer) • Deliver flyers and collect bags of food from specific subdivision routes. • New this year: “Build your own Neighborhood Route,” deliver flyers, pick up food. • Collect food donations at Casey’s Foods. • Sort and pack the food at St. Thomas. Pandemic precautions will be in place for 2-hour shifts over five days, as needed. Temperature checking, social distancing and masks required. Small numbers of volunteers per shift. Families, adults, teens, children. We need you all! And it’s fun!

St. Thomas Miracle The miracle of the loaves and fishes fed 5,000 men, women, and children. One interpretation of that miracle is that the words of Jesus inspired those in the crowd that had brought food to share it with others that had no food. Let us pray for that same inspiration and grace such that we create a St. Thomas Harvest Sunday miracle. Amen!

We continue to work our way through the centuries, making note of the ongoing challenges for . The French C.A.R.E. Revolution, which began at the end of the 18th century, posed many obstacles for Catholicism, both in France and CORNER across Europe. Civil states were created which formed representative governments. Morals noticeably changed. Atheism began to flourish. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing in England and eventually made its way to America. And that altered life for so many people. Technology affected the way people worked and lived and looked at life.

Technology continues to alter our worldviews and lifestyles. And the pace of advancement in technology is overwhelming our ability to keep up with it and incorporate it into our lives Yet, we continue to search for truths, mostly wrapped up in the disguise of facts. And we search through the eyes of skepticism. We actually have a lot in common with our ancient ancestors before they came to faith. And we are just as susceptible to falsehoods and fake news as they were when we put our faith solely in the science and technology of our own making.

From the Office of the Parish Nurse Get to Know Your Immune System When Bacteria and Viruses Enter your Body, These Natural Defenders Spring into Action Macrophage This gargantuan white blood cell lies in wait within healthy tissue. Sometimes years pass without action, but when a pathogen emerges, macrophages release a blast of proteins call cytokines, which calls the immune system into battle. From there, the macrophage joins the cleanup crew by gobbling up dead and cripples pathogens.

Natural Killer Cell Some infected cells can be rendered “invisible” to the immune system, which allows the pathogen to continue to spread unabated. That’s when natural killer cells provide an extra layer of defense. A natural killer cell has the ability to identify abnormal cellular appearance — as is often the case with cells infected by a virus. The killer cell studies its mark, and if the suspect cell appears to be infected, it releases proteins near the suspected pathogen. The pathogen then eats the protein — a fatal, final meal.

White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo A Challenging Invitation This is a reminder. In these times we have an opportunity and a responsibility to explore all Catholic Social Teaching aspects of racial justice. And the first place to start is with ourselves. White Fragility provides the “We believe people have a right and a duty opportunity to do that. to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially Over a number of months, the St. Thomas Solidarity Coalition Ministry will introduce the book the poor and vulnerable.” White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo by providing summaries chapter by chapter. The book is currently ~US Conference of Catholic at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list in the Paperback Nonfiction category and has been on the list for 107 weeks. We encourage you to purchase the book and follow along with us Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. as we, as the author states, “challenge racism.” It is a challenging book, and not always an “easy Below is list of key DuPage County Election read.” It might challenge your beliefs. That is a good thing in these times. websites.

The first installment covers the Author’s Note and the Introduction. Register to Vote Online https://ova.elections.il.gov/Step0.aspx Robin DiAngelo’s book is “rooted” in identity politics, that is, the tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances. She maintains that all Online Deadline is October 18. civil rights progress in this country has come about through identity politics, because that is the vehicle for identifying groups who are marginalized. All Register to Vote Options https://www.dupageco.org/Election/ In the US, those who make policy decisions tend to be “white, male, middle-and upper-class, Voting/37059/ and able bodied.” Consequently, those decisions often fail to take into account barriers to social equality that are experienced by those who do not have a seat at the table. Homogeneity of power In-Person Early Voting groups may create inequity even without any intention on the part of those in power, but the https://www.dupageco.org/earlyvoting/ effect is still harmful. It has created a system of racism in which white identity and experience is assumed to be universal. Vote by Mail Programs https://www.dupageco.org/Election/ As a white person, DiAngelo speaks to a primarily white audience. She acknowledges that this Voting/37064/ may seem that white people are again being put at the center of the discussion. Nevertheless, she affirms that hers is only one of many voices needed in the national conversation, and in her book Track Mail-In Ballot she wants to “use her insider status to challenge racism.” https://dupage.ballottrax.net/voter/

Early in her career, DiAngelo was a “diversity trainer,” leading workshops on the social dynamics of Election FAQ race. There she encountered defensive reactions of anger, fear, guilt, argumentation, silence and https://www.dupageco.org/Election/37876/ withdrawal, which were consistently displayed by white people she worked with. These reactions continue to be at work in today’s events. She believes they come from two sources.

1. The idea that racism consists of individual hateful acts by “bad” people, implying personal ill will rather than a socialized system of privilege and discrimination. 2. The belief that any advantages experienced by white people in our society are deserved because of individual superiority.

These two false assumptions create a resistance to discussion that keeps racism in place, a resistance she calls “white fragility.”
