The Word from Fr. Pat / La Palabra del Padre Pat / Słowo od Ojca Pat

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today, I wanted to give an update on the wonderful seminarians we have here at our parish. I encourage you to continue to keep them in your prayers, because we certainly need their gifts in the Church!

Christian Sinclair has begun his third year at Saint John Vianney College Seminary in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota. He is looking forward to studying for a semester in Rome in the spring.

Deacon Ramon Sida has begun his fourth and last year of formation in theology at Mundelein Seminary. He will continue his ministry here as a deacon up until his ordination to the priesthood in May.

Chris Aust, who was our intern last spring, has discerned out of formation. He feels called to life outside of the priesthood, although his love for the Church will certainly have him ministering in some capacity. Please pray for his continued discernment.

Tom Logue, who was with us for his Teaching Parish assignment last year and lived with us this summer, begins his second year of theology at Mundelein. He will be our parish intern this coming spring.

Frank Pusateri is new to our parish. He is beginning his first year at Mundelein this year and will be here at Saint Mary’s for his Teaching Parish assignment, mostly on weekends. I asked Frank to introduce himself and here is what he wrote:

I look forward to ministering to, but more importantly, learning from everyone at St. Mary Immaculate Parish!

I first began thinking of priesthood when I was seven years old and preparing to receive my First Eucharist. One of my friends saw that I wore my scapular outside my clothes and assumed that I would become a priest. She even asked me to heal her friend’s hurt finger. As silly as that sounds, the thought of priesthood remained with me from that moment. As I grew in my Faith, I loved to immerse myself in the lives of the saints, like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and developed a desire to become a great saint myself. I noticed that many of the saints were consecrated religious, and so I unconsciously developed a kind of aversion to diocesan priesthood because I thought they didn’t become saints. During a silent retreat in college, I told God during a Holy Hour that I was open to whatever He was calling me to. Within a minute, I felt a voice say, “What about diocesan priesthood?” I was so angry that I walked out of the Chapel. I tried to pretend that hadn’t happened. Later, after teaching Totus Tuus with several other diocesan seminarians, any aversion I had to diocesan priesthood vanished and a month later, I was applying for seminary!

Yours in Christ and His Blessed Mother, Father Pat Mulcahy, Pastor

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo:

Hoy, quiero darles una actualización sobre los maravillosos seminaristas que tenemos aquí en nuestra parroquia. ¡Les animo a que sigan manteniéndolos en sus oraciones, porque ciertamente necesitamos sus dones en la Iglesia!

Christian Sinclair ha comenzado su tercer año en el Seminario de Saint John Vianney College en Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota. Espera estudiar un semestre en Roma durante la próxima primavera.

El diácono Ramón Sida ha comenzado su cuarto y último año de formación en teología en el Seminario Mundelein. Continuará su ministerio aquí como diácono hasta su ordenación al sacerdocio en mayo.

Chris Aust, quien fue nuestro interno la primavera pasada, ha discernido fuera de la formación. Se siente llamado a la vida fuera del sacerdocio, aunque su amor por la Iglesia ciertamente lo hará participar en algún ministerio. Por favor ore por su continuo discernimiento.

Tom Logue, quien estuvo con nosotros el pasado año escolar practicando para su clase de Enseñanzas de Parroquia y vivió con nosotros este verano, comienza su segundo año de teología en Mundelein. Él será nuestro interno parroquial esta próxima primavera.

Frank Pusateri es nuevo en nuestra parroquia. Él está comenzando su primer año en Mundelein y estará aquí en Santa

The Word from Fr. Pat / La Palabra del Padre Pat / Słowo od Ojca Pat

María para sus prácticas en la clase de Enseñanzas de Parroquia, principalmente los fines de semana. Le pedí a Frank que se presentara y esto es lo que escribió:

Espero poder ministrar, pero lo más importante, ¡aprender de todos en la Parroquia de Santa María Inmaculada!

Comencé a pensar en el sacerdocio cuando tenía siete años y me preparaba para recibir mi Primera Eucaristía. Uno de mis amigos vio que llevaba mi escapulario fuera de mi ropa y asumió que me convertiría en sacerdote. Incluso me pidió que curara el dedo herido de su amiga. Tan tonto como suena, la idea del sacerdocio permaneció conmigo desde ese momento. A medida que crecía en mi fe, me encantaba sumergirme en la vida de los santos, como San Francisco de Asís, Santa Teresa de Calcuta y Santa Teresa de Lisieux, y desarrollé un deseo de convertirme en un gran santo. Noté que muchos de los santos eran religiosos consagrados, así que inconscientemente desarrollé una especie de aversión al sacerdocio diocesano porque pensé que no se convertían en santos. Durante un retiro silencioso en la universidad, le dije a Dios durante una Hora Santa que estaba abierto a lo que sea que me llamara. En un minuto, sentí una voz que decía: "¿Qué tal sacerdote diocesano?" Estaba tan enojado que salí de la Capilla. Traté de fingir que no había sucedido. Más tarde, después de enseñar en Totus Tuus con varios otros seminaristas diocesanos, cualquier aversión que tuve al sacerdocio diocesano desapareció y un mes después, ¡estaba haciendo trámites para entrar al seminario!

Suyo en Cristo y su Santísima Madre, Padre Pat Mulcahy, Pastor

Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie,

Dzisiaj chciałem przekazać informacje na temat wspaniałych seminarzystów, których mamy tutaj w naszej parafii. Zachęcam was, abyście nadal pamiętali o nich w swoich modlitwach, ponieważ z pewnością potrzebujemy ich daru w Kościele!

Christian Sinclair rozpoczął swój trzeci rok w Seminarium Duchownym Saint John Vianney College w Minneapolis-Saint Paul w stanie Minnesota. Nie może się doczekać wiosny na swój wyjazd do Rzymu.

Diakon Ramon Sida rozpoczął swój czwarty i ostatni rok formacji w teologii w seminarium w Mundelein. Będzie kontynuował swoją posługę tutaj jako diakon aż do święceń kapłańskich w maju.

Chris Aust, który był naszym stażystą zeszłej wiosny, odczytuje swoje powołanie poza formacją. Czuje się powołany do życia poza kapłaństwem, chociaż jego miłość do Kościoła z pewnością sprawi, że będzie on mu nadal w jakiś sposób służył. Proszę, módlcie się o jego dalsze rozeznanie.

Tom Logue, który był z nami w zeszłym roku w Zarządzie Nauczycielskim i mieszkał z nami tego lata, rozpoczyna swój drugi rok teologii w Mundelein. On będzie naszym stażystą parafialnym na wiosnę.

Frank Pusateri , który w tym roku zaczyna swój pierwszy rok w Mundelein i będzie tu w Saint Mary's, aby pomagać w nauczaniu, głównie w weekendy. Poprosiłem Franka, żeby się przedstawił i oto, co napisał:

Z niecierpliwością czekam na posługę, ale co ważniejsze, uczę się od wszystkich w parafii St. Mary Immaculate!

Po raz pierwszy zacząłem myśleć o kapłaństwie, kiedy miałem siedem lat i przygotowywałem się do mojej Pierwszej Eucharystii. Jedna z moich koleżanek zauważyła, że noszę szkaplerz I już wówczas stwierdziła, że zostanę księdzem. Poprosiła mnie nawet o wyleczenie zranionego palca jej przyjaciółki. Choć to śmiesznie brzmi, myśl o kapłaństwie pozostała ze mną od tego momentu. Gdy dorastałem w wierze, uwielbiałem zanurzać się w życie świętych, takich jak św. Franciszek z Asyżu, św. Teresa z Kalkuty i św. Teresa z Lisieux, i pragnąłem stać się wielkim świętym. Zauważyłem, że wielu świętych było konsekrowanych w zakonach, dlatego nieświadomie rozwinąłem rodzaj niechęci do kapłaństwa diecezjalnego, ponieważ myślałem, że oni nie zostają świętymi. Podczas cichego odosobnienia w college'u powiedziałem Bogu podczas Świętej Godziny, że jestem otwarty na wszystko, do czego mnie wzywa. W ciągu minuty poczułem głos mówiący: „A co z kapłaństwem diecezjalnym?” Byłem tak zły, że wyszedłem z kaplicy. Próbowałem udawać, że tak się nie stało. Później, po nauczeniu Totus Tuus z kilkoma innymi seminarzystami diecezjalnymi, wszelka niechęć do kapłaństwa diecezjalnego zniknęła, a miesiąc później ubiegałem się o przyjęcie do seminarium!

Wasz w Chrystusie i Jego Najświętszej Matce, Ojciec Pat Mulcahy, Pastor

First Saturday Devotion on October 5th, after 7:30 Mass The devotion of First Saturdays, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima, carries with it the assurance of the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death. However, to derive profit from such a great promise of Our Lady, the devotion must be properly understood and duly performed. The requirements as stipulated by Our Lady are, on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months: Confession, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, and to do all these things in the spirit of reparation to my Immaculate Heart. Please join us for 7:30 Mass. The recitation of the Rosary will immediately follow in the Church. Blessing of the Animals Saturday, Oct. 5th at Noon

The Best Way to Prevent The Flu?

Liturgy and Worship

Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only through prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.

Pope Francis

God our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that You inspire young people whom You call to priesthood and consecrated life to courageously follow Your will. Send workers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen Prayer for Vocations by Pope Francis

For an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life, especially in the Diocese of Joliet, we pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.
