The Archdiocese of Chicago is committed to protecting children, healing victims, and accountability: heal.archchicago.org Reflections from Father Derek Catholic Evangelization

The research organization Barna Group (which focuses on the intersection of faith and culture) interviewed Christians about sharing their faith. A 2013 survey found that among all Christian faith traditions, the group which had the lowest number of people who actively shared their faith was… Catholics. They found that only 1 of 3 Catholics agreed with the statement, I, personally, have a responsibility to tell other people about my religious beliefs. For this reason, there is so much emphasis on evangelization in the Catholic Church nowadays. Why don’t Catholics feel comfortable sharing their faith (Why don’t we evangelize)?

• Many Catholics have never been evangelized. Most who identify as "Catholic" in the U.S. have never really said "yes" to an encounter with . Even though they may have received Baptism and Confirmation, even though they have received the Eucharist and attended Mass (even for many years), their hearts have remained unchanged. Pope Paul VI says: The person who has been evangelized goes on to evangelize others. (Evangelii Nuntiandi, #24). How can we expect the un-evangelized to evangelize? We can't.

• Many Catholics are too scared to leave their comfort zone. They’ll make excuses as others did throughout history. Even Moses was scared to respond to God’s call to challenge Pharaoh and free the Israelites. In Exodus 3-4, we see his excuses:

Excuse #1 – I am not worthy - “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?” (Ex 3:11). But God answers, "I will be with you" (3:12). Why worry? God is on your side!

Excuse #2 – I don’t know enough - “What shall I say to them?” (3:13). But God answers, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you’” (3:14).

Excuse #3 – They won’t listen to me - “They will not believe me or listen to my voice” (4:1). But God answers by promising to provide miraculous acts to convince any doubters (4:8-9).

Excuse #4 – I am not talented nor gifted enough - “I am not eloquent… I am slow of speech and of tongue” (4:10). But God answers, “Who gives one speech? Who makes another mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go, I will assist you in speaking and teach you what you are to say.” (4:11-12).

Excuse #5 – I don’t want to do it - “Oh, my Lord, send, I pray, some other person” (4:13). But God answers (in anger), “You shall speak to him [Aaron] and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.” (4:15).

Do you personally have a responsibility to tell other people about your religious beliefs? If so, we need your help for this to be true for the rest of our parish!

Sincerely yours in Christ, Father Derek Fourth & Final in a series What Can Our Faith Community Do to Support Those with Mental Health Challenges and Their Families?

People with mental illness and their families may feel isolated from their faith community and thus isolated from God. If someone feels rejected by church, they feel rejected by God. Isolation is often caused by the stigma associated with having a mental illness. The fear of being judged as inadequate or weak willed, or the misperception that God is punishing them because they did something wrong, or the community’s misperception of what mental illness is and how it affects the individual and their families are powerful contributors to the isolation and loneliness that people feel. As a healing community we can support people with mental illness and their families with unconditional non- judgmental love in the following ways: increase our awareness of mental illness and where to get help; offer prayers and support for individuals and families who are affected by mental illness; serve on parish committees for outreach to individuals and families, get involved in peer to peer ministry; and work on the justice issues affecting Please join us Monday evening to learn more! mental health care.

Shared here is a letter co-written by Cardinal Cupich and Bishop Horace E. Smith, M.D., senior pastor of Apostolic Faith Church. Published by the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, this commentary is for all within our community to reflect and pray upon. Systemic racism is real, and all Americans play a role in addressing it

It has been a summer of anguish for Black Americans. Six months after Breonna Taylor was shot to death by Louisville police officers in a botched drug raid, the nation is once again seized by grief, anger and despair over the spectacle of another young Black person killed by police — and no one has been indicted for her killing. After three days of deliberation, a Kentucky grand jury has charged one now-former police officer with recklessly endangering Taylor’s neighbors, even though she was the one who ended up dead.

We write on behalf of a group of pastors that also includes the Rev. Ira J. Acree, senior pastor of Greater St. John Bible Church; the Rev. Chris Harris, pastor of Bright Star Church Chicago; the Rev. Marshall Hatch, senior pastor of New Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church; and the Rev. Otis Moss III, senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

As pastors who minister to Black families, brown families, Asian families and white families, we find ourselves once again faced with the horrifying question: Why does this keep happening, and what can we do about it? After we do our part to bind up the deep psychic wounds of our parishioners, neighbors, friends and family members, we are left asking, what now? Pray for peace, march for peace, work for peace — yes, peace. This is what Christians are supposed to be for, believing as we do in the Prince of Peace. And who could argue against it? In the face of wanton violence, we are called to take responsibility for building a culture of nonviolence.

But while peace may be necessary to the cause, it is insufficient, for creating a culture of peace requires something that ensures its endurance. That something is what we call justice.

Justice is a complex thing. It takes hard work. It requires systems of transparency, vigilance, fairness and accountability. It needs people who take stock of and resist systems of injustice. One of those is racism. We have heard from those who claim there is no such thing as systemic racism. We have been told that racism is something that perverts the hearts of individual women and men, and that in the absence of avowed racists — of which we still have not a small number in this country — there can be no racist system.

It can be comforting to people who have never experienced racial prejudice when they reflect on their lives and cannot identify times when they have behaved in racist ways. Look, some may say, at the strides our society has made since the era of institutionalized slavery. Yes, our Black brothers and sisters are no longer made to use different water fountains, explicitly barred from “Whites Only” shops, bought and sold as chattel — all instances of systemic injustice.

But our Christian faith demands more than an acknowledgment of gains. It requires that we make an examination of conscience, not simply of our own individual consciences, but collectively, as a nation. We are called to examine our various social and governmental systems and ask whether they are bearers of justice or its opposite.

We don’t need to look back very far in Chicago’s history to see one of the most notorious examples of systemic racism: contract buying, the practice of predatory home pricing and sales that undermined the ability of Black families to accrue wealth as white families could.

We cannot turn away from the church’s own history, especially when it comes to mono-ethnic and mono-racial congregations. And we see other ways in which people of color are systemically disadvantaged: unemployment rates are much higher for people of color; the median wealth of white people is about 10 times what it is for Black people; quality and availability of education — by law — health care, transportation, even grocery stores are all much worse for Black Americans. These disparities are not accidental. They are the inevitable outcomes of systems designed through hostility or neglect to make it harder for Black Americans to flourish, or even to survive.

As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops put it in its recent letter, “Open Wide Our Hearts”: “Racism can only end if we contend with the policies and institutional barriers that perpetuate and preserve the inequality — economic and social — that we still see all around us.” (continued on next page) (continued from previous page)

It’s that last part that may be the hardest. Because seeing injustice is but the first step on the road to justice. Taking that step means being able to put aside one’s own fears and sensitivities surrounding the issue of racial injustice. It means being able to see the fears of those who may not look like us, or live near us, or be able to afford what we can afford, to see their aspirations, their desire for safe neighborhoods, good education, meaningful job opportunities. It means, in a word, cultivating empathy.

For people of faith, it means looking at one another not as competitors in a cultural contest, as if the success of one kind of person requires the failure of another. No, we are called to look upon one another as God looks upon us, as responsible for one another, as children of the Creator who fashioned us in his image, and who wants nothing more for his family than a life of lasting peace secured by abiding justice. Or, to put it another way, as Pope Paul VI did: “If you want peace, work for justice.”

The Gift of the Reign of God Matthew’s Gospel today expands on Isaiah’s ballad considerably. A comparison with the same story in Mark’s Gospel clearly shows us that here the author is busy teaching this community of Jewish Christians: “This is a story about Israel a long time ago; this is also a story about Jesus and the skeptical leaders.” Jesus as much as told these Jewish leaders that they were the tenants who first stoned their own prophets. And he told the leaders they were the tenants who would soon even dispose of him—Jesus—and, in doing so, would forfeit their privileged place of presenting to the world the promised Messiah. “And this,” says Matthew’s Gospel, “is a story about you, the inheritors of what was first offered to Israel.” The reign of God was first opened to Israel and is now given to the whole world, but it must be received as a gift. The first Christians are the new tenants in the vineyard. The deeper reality of the reign or kingdom of God is that it is available to everyone on the face of the earth— Israel included.

In-School Learning in a COVID World Working with Rational Numbers

Ms. Kim Trocchio’s Sixth Grade Accelerated Math and Seventh Grade Regular Math students have begun their math unit on rational numbers. Last week the students were introduced to operations with integers. They modeled adding and subtracting integers by setting up problems related to hot air balloons. They discussed different ways hot air balloons could work. Adding gas and subtracting sand made the balloon go up on the number line; adding sand and subtracting gas made the balloon go down on the number line. Cartography Exploration

Mrs. Diana Guerrieri’s Sixth Grade Social Studies classes are studying World Geography. They have been learning about maps and how challenging it is to draw a round thing (the earth) on a flat piece of paper (a map). When cutting up and flattening a beach ball globe, they learned that cartographers need to choose between accuracy and ease of use and readability when drawing maps.

Beautiful, beautiful beads...

Because of protocols required by the COVID pandemic, students are not permitted to share materials. Instead of a classroom sensory table, the preschool teacher, Mrs. Carla Calcagno created individual containers for each student. Presently the PreK-4 students are learning about the letter B and are working with colorful, soft, water-filled beads that have been provided for each student’s sensory tub. They love the feel of the beads and their beautiful colors!
