Our Blessed Mother was immediately assumed into heaven after her death for she was sinless throughout her entire life and always followed the will of God. One way to understand the Assumption of Mary into heaven is to think of how much she desired to be reunited with her son, Jesus, after the Ascension. Mary knew Jesus in spirit and sacrament, but as a mother she longed to wrap her arms around Him. This longing one day became so strong that the bonds of gravity and this world could no longer hold our Blessed Virgin on this earth. God is pure love and so too is our Blessed Mother. Many times throughout the year you will notice the initials RCIA mentioned in the bulletin. RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is a program designed for adults who are inter- ested in joining the Catholic faith. The RCIA program also helps those who are in need of sacraments. This program is geared to those who have never been baptized, those who were baptized in another faith or those who are in need of the sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist or Confirmation. This year’s RCIA classes will begin in October and conclude a few weeks after the Easter Vigil in 2022. If you or anyone you know is interested in joining the Catholic faith or receiving any sacraments, please contact our RCIA director, Deacon Tim Keating at 708-341-9745 or 708-448-4861. As stated in last week’s bulletin, in several weeks our parish Religious Education Program for the 2021-2022 school year will begin. We are in need of new catechists to teach our R.E. students in the Catholic faith and help several grades prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion, and Confirmation. I ask everyone to please consider becoming a catechist in our program. If you feel you are not qualified, don’t worry, we will train you. Being a catechist is a great way to share your faith with the youth of our parish who are the future of the Roman Catholic Church. Please pray and let the Holy Spirit guide you as you make your decision. For information call Tyler Ried in the Religious Education office at 708-448-6624. There are still openings in many grades at St. Alexander School for the upcoming year. If you know of anybody who is interested in educating their child with a Catholic education, please have them call the school office at 708-448-0408. God Bless, Father Marty ST.

Today is such a feast. Yet some are surprised at the brevity of the dogma in its entirety: “We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.” The Roman Catholic Church never defined any specif- ics or particulars about the event itself. It is not in II Ashley Dykstra & James Wesalowski the scriptures. There are no verifiable eyewitness accounts.

(Ap) - Federal officials said yesterday that a troublesome gas bubble no longer poses any significant danger of explosion at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, advancing efforts to Bring the disable reactor to cold shutdown. Declaring “the bubble has been eliminated for all practical purposes,’ Harold Denton of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission tola reporters, ‘ T think the danger point is considerably down from where it was a few days ago.” “I would say there is no more bubble at the top of the core... We no longer consider a hydrogen explosion a significant problem,” he said. .“The site remains stable...the bubble poses no further significant safety problem.” Meanwhile, speculation arose that the cripple reactor might , have to be junked, but one NRC official said he doubted that. While Denton, President Carter’s special representative at the scene, held the briefing, tension was casing in the weeklong crisis caused by the worst nuclear mishap in U.S. history. Civil defense official estimated that between 80,000 and 250,000 of the region's 950,000 people had temorarily pulled out, but thousands were returning yesterday and some scnools were reopened. Askea when the emergency would be over at Three Mile Island, Denton said, ‘‘We are right now developing and looking at plans of the most effective way to bring this reactor to a cold shutdown.” He declined to predict exactly when that might be accomplished.

  • Bill Veeck: Remembering the Good, the Bad and the In-Between on His 100Th Birthday
    Bill Veeck: Remembering the good, the bad and the in-between on his 100th birthday By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, February 7th, 2014 A man with the ultimate positive image as a friend of the baseball fan, Bill Veeck might have been the first to say that, yeah, he had feet (in his case, one foot) of clay. A speed reader of books, Veeck knew all about protag- onists who had many sides, not every one of them he- roic. It made a balanced portrayal for the book con- sumer. In that case, Veeck, whose 100th birthday is being marked Feb. 9, was the ultimate balanced man. His baseball-owner opponents would have added “un” to the front of “balanced.” In the process of bearding the game’s establishment, in attempting to be in front of trends to make money, draw more fans and ad- vance a personal, liberal philosophy, star promoter Veeck both succeeded and failed. A typical Bill Veeck image from his In doing so, he became one of the most impactful prime. He was nicknamed "Sport men in Chicago baseball history. He was a true Re- Shirt Bill" for his refusal to wear ties naissance man, whose life impacted more than just in that button-down, dress-up era. events on the diamond. Veeck saved the White Sox for Chicago when there were no other local buyers in 1975. He gave Hall of Famer Tony La Russa his managerial start in 1979. Veeck prodded Har- ry Caray to start singing in the seventh inning, a tradition that has long outlasted Caray’s death.

  • Disco Demolition’ Exhibit Blasts Into Town
    CONTACT PERSON: Patrice Roche, Marketing & Communications Specialist Elmhurst History Museum (630) 833-1457 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 24, 2017 ‘Disco Demolition’ Exhibit Blasts into Town New exhibit at Elmhurst History Museum chronicles the Night Disco Died ELMHURST, Ill. – The date July 12, 1979 may not immediately ring a bell for every Chicagoan, but for those who spent that summer wearing black band tee shirts, listening to rock music on FM radio, and sporting long, shaggy hairstyles, it stands out as a memorable moment from the scrapbook of their young adult lives—it was the night that disco died. More than a few area residents were at Comiskey Park that night—possibly to see a baseball game—but more than likely to attend Teen Night. The event was envisioned as a hook to fill empty stadium seats in the middle of a dismal White Sox season and promote WLUP’s new deejay, Steve Dahl. Dahl was fostering an anti-disco campaign on Chicago air waves after being fired from a local radio station that switched to a disco format. Fueled by a 98 cent ticket price for fans who brought disco records to blow up between games of the doubleheader, the event quickly careened out of control after 50,000+ attendees packed the park and its environs. In the wake of the explosion, unruly fans took over the field causing baseball fans to shake their heads in dismay and the White Sox to eventually forfeit the second game to the Detroit Tigers. After the smoke cleared, it is said that disco met its demise and Disco Demolition (as it eventually became known) remains one of Chicago’s most infamous baseball history moments.

  • Baseball Under Glass: 1950S Latin Players Photo Exhibit Highlight Of
    1950s Latin players photo exhibit highlight of HOF By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 COOPERSTOWN, NY — Memories and opinions of the sights, sounds and people of Hall of Fame weekend: The Hall of Fame is very much worth the price of your admission, even if it needs a bit of freshening up. Traditional exhibits are the bulwark of sports’ most im- pactful repository of history. The collection of game- worn and-used items are George Castle special. They range from the resin bag employed by Ralph Branca as he served up Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World to the shoes Hall of Famer Billy Williams wore when he played in 1,117 consecutive games as a Cub. Stan Musial, one of baseball’s all-time good guys, was especially generous in donating his uniforms and other equipment. Overall, St. Louis' baseball community, from the Cardinals themselves to longtime flagship radio station KMOX, seem the most adept of anyone this side of Yankee Stadium in saving their history for themselves and the Hall of Fame. Hank Aaron gets plenty of exhibit space, as he should. Given Barry Bonds’ egotistical cutting of corners through use of PEDs, Aaron is still in eve- ry sane person’s mind the all-time home-run An image of Minnie Minoso is the head- champ. There’s a good reason why Hammering liner to draw fans into a Hall of Fame pho- Hank, now 80, got the biggest ovation from the to exhibit of 1950s Latin players who helped break baseball's color line.

    Why do we schedule tunings accord- ing to seasons? Simply and authorita- Harpsichord News In the wind . tively because the pitch produced by an by Larry Palmer by John Bishop organ pipe of a given length is subject to temperature. Say a pipe plays “440- A” and say it’s 70 degrees in the church. Raise the temperature a degree and now the same pipe plays 442 (roughly). And the catch is that the reeds don’t change with temperature and the wooden pipes (especially stopped pipes) are more af- fected by humidity than temperature. So when there’s a temperature swing the organ’s tuning fl ies into pieces. You cannot defi ne organ pitch without ref- erence to temperature. A contract for a new organ is likely to have a clause that defi nes the organ’s pitch as A=440 at 68 degrees. And here’s the other catch. My little example said it was 70 degrees in the church. But it’s never 70 degrees every- where in the church. It may be 70 at the console, 66 in the Swell, 61 in the Choir, and 82 in the Great.
