  • October 4, 2020 Pastor’S White Board the Weeks Ahead
    OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH OUR PARISH MISSION Founded in 1833, Old St. Mary’s parish is the first Catholic parish in the Chicago area. Guided for more than a century by the vision of the Paulist Fathers, we are a diverse and welcoming community dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of the Loop, South Loop and the greater Chicago area. As a unified Church and School community, Old St. Mary’s Parish promotes the mission of the Paulist Fathers to welcome those who have been away from the church, to build bridges of respect and collaboration with people of diverse backgrounds and religions, and to promote justice and healing in our society. OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH - 1500 S. MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO, IL 60605 CHICAGO’S FIRST CATHOLIC PARISH ESTABLISHED IN 1833 THE PAULIST FATHERS SERVING OUR PARISH SINCE OCTOBER 12, 1903. Page Two Old St. Mary’s Church October 4, 2020 Pastor’s White Board The Weeks Ahead... This week we launch into the busy month of October. October is usually busy. At the parish we usually have our ministry fair; fall sports are off and running; the Chicago Marathon is running by the church, and people are gearing up for the rest of the year and the holidays…. Even though we are more limited in our regular activities we still have events happening. Today, I invite you to look at and consider these reminders. VOTE. Check our website for ideas on how to form your conscience. Catholic teaching is very clear that individual consciences are inviolable. That being said, we are also called to have well formed consciences by engaging in research and debate with others and ourselves to figure out the right issues and right candidates to vote for.

In the 1840s, he became a Catholic, and wrote to his brother Sylvester, a student at Kenyon College, encouraging him to explore Catholicism. He did so and entered the church.

  • CHURCH of ST. PAUL the APOSTLE, 8 Columbus Avenue (Aka 8-10 Columbus Avenue, 120 West 60Th Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 2013, Designation List 465 LP-2260 CHURCH OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE, 8 Columbus Avenue (aka 8-10 Columbus Avenue, 120 West 60th Street), Manhattan. Built 1875-85; initial design attributed to Jeremiah O’Rourke; upper walls of towers, c. 1900; “Conversion of Paul” bas-relief by Lumen Martin Winter, 1958 Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1131, Lot 31 On June 11, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing (Item No. 2) on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site.1 The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Five people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of New York State Senator Brad Hoylman, Community Board 7, the Historic Districts Council, Landmark West! and the Society for the Architecture of the City. One person, representing Father Gilbert Martinez, CSP, spoke in opposition to designation. Summary The Church of St. Paul the Apostle, located at the southwest corner of Columbus Avenue and 60th Street in Manhattan, was built in 1875-85. Commissioned by the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle, commonly called the Paulist Fathers, it is an austere and imposing Medieval Revival style design, loosely based on Gothic and Romanesque sources. The Paulists trace their origins to 1858 when Isaac Hecker traveled to Rome and received permission from Pope Pius IX to organize an American society of missionary priests. The following year, Archbishop John Hughes of New York asked Hecker’s group to establish a parish on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and a simple brick church was constructed.

  • November 29, 2020 Pastor’S White Board Advent – Something for Us to Do
    OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH FEAST OF FAITH What Is the Mass? What is the Mass? There is no simple answer to that question. The Church uses many different images and terms to describe our most important prayer. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist, a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is the Lord’s Supper. It is the Breaking of the Bread. It is the memorial of the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. It is the Holy Sacrifice, in which the sacrifice of Christ on the cross is perpetuated. It is the holy and divine liturgy, the sacred mysteries. It is the source and summit of our Christian lives, the new covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit, the paschal mystery. The many different words and images that we use when we speak of the Mass are not signs of confusion, but of wonder at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1328) calls the “inexhaustible richness” of the Eucharist. The Mass, our greatest prayer and our deepest mystery, is celebrated every day, many times a day, the world over. The Eucharist is both “bread from heaven” and “daily bread.” The Mass is our everyday miracle. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. OLD ST. MARY’S CHURCH - 1500 S.

    Giving the Gospel a Voice Today Paulist Fathers Giving the Gospel a Voice Today Paulist Fathers 1 Greetings from the Paulist President The Paulist Fathers are a missionary community which from the beginning has been a strong and effective voice for evangelization, conversion and renewal for the people of North America. In recent decades we have also tried to reach out to inactive Catholics, foster unity among Chris- tians, and a provide an atmosphere of respect and collabo- ration among people of all world religions. The Paulist Fathers continue to give the Word of God a voice. We accomplish this is so many ways: one-on-one contact; preaching and teaching; video; the printed word; radio; and the Internet. In the words of our founder, Father Isaac Hecker, “We strive to meet the needs of the church in the present age.” I invite you to discover the rich history, solid mission and many great works of the Paulist Fathers, our lay colleagues and members of our worshipping communities. All of these efforts have been guided by the Holy Spirit, inspired by the example of St. Paul and built upon the legacy of Paulist Fathers Father Hecker.

As our April Newsletter goes online, the coronavirus pandemic obviously preoccupies most of our lives. As director of the Paulist Associates, I have been asked to write about this crisis. I initially resisted this because the crisis is rapidly spreading and changing. What one may say now may well be outdated in a few days. Also, I humbly submit there are so many much more authoritative persons with much bigger microphones than I, who need to be listened to and heeded. So, to the question: What would I like to tell our Associates during this crisis. First, follow the CDC guidelines of keeping our physical distance. But at the same time, now more than ever, reach out to Fr. Mike Kallock, C.S.P. others in whatever way you can by phone, text, ZOOM, Skype, and so on. Many of you are more creative than I am in ways of connecting to others from a physical distance.

  • Servant of God Isaac Hecker: 19Th Century Pastor, 21St Century Saint
    SERVANT OF GOD ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT O God, you called Isaac Hecker to preach the Gospel to the people of North America and to know the peace and the power of your indwelling Holy Spirit. Like Saint Paul the Apostle, he spoke your Word with a zeal for souls and a burning love for all who came to him in need. Hear our prayer and, through the intercession of Father Hecker, grant [state the request]. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen. 2 FR. ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT On May 23, 2006, the Paulist Fathers General Assembly, “conscious of the need for contemporary models of holiness,” resolved to promote the canonization cause of Paulist Founder, Father Isaac Hecker, declaring his life and teaching “truly a valuable resource that needs to be widely recognized and communicated,” that he “can inspire others beyond ourselves towards holiness of life, heroic virtue and personal faithfulness to Christ,” and that “the time has come” for Father Hecker’s story “to be disseminated throughout the larger church.” This is the will of God, said Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, your holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3). According to the Second Vatican Council, “all in the Church … are called to holiness” and “to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of love”.1 In the Apostles Creed, we profess our faith in what we call “the Communion of Saints.” This Communion of Saints unites us, who are still on earth, with those saints whose salvation and ultimate sanctity are already assured.
