MISSIONARIES OF ST. CHARLES - Scalabrinians
The Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Charles – Scalabrinians – is an International community of religious serving migrants and refugees of different cultures, religions and ethnicities in 32 countries and on five
continents.
The Congregation was founded on November 28, 1887, by Blessed John Baptist Scalabrini (1839-1905),
bishop of Piacenza (Italy). It was the period of massive emigration from Italy and Europe toward the Americas. It was a far-reaching phenomenon whose importance Bishop Scalabrini was able to grasp in both its social
and religious dimensions.
Our missionary focus has been to be migrants with the migrants and to be in mission with people on the
move along with a special priority for the poorest migrants. What has become very obvious is that as we have
taken more missionary risks and made an effort to clarify our Charism we have been blessed with more and
more vocations.

Father of the Migrants

From the Pastor’s Desk
Renew My Church! Inspired in the words of Christ to St. Francis of Assisi, this is a
project Archbishop Cupich has lounged in the Archdiocese of Chicago in order to
revitalize the Missionary activity in this local Church. For months, plans have been
presented to all the priests working in the Archdiocese and lately the idea is to make
known the project to all Catholics, in the hope that every baptized would get involved in one way or another. After hours and hours of dialogue and discussion, after several meetings for priests and staff working in our parishes, after much prayer
and discernment, all the parishes in the Archdiocese have been gathered in groupings in the hope that the project would better be analyzed and implemented.
Because of geographical reasons, Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been proposed to group with Sacred Heart, St. Charles B., St. Domitila, St. Eulalia and St.
Simeon. -This is a proposal though and final decision will be made at a later date-.
As Bishop Manz stated in his letter announcing our grouping, “The ultimate purpose
of the groupings is to better position ourselves to carry out the Archbishops vision
for Renew My Church: An archdiocese made up of Parishes that have the resources
and capacity to be vital and vibrant for a truly life-giving, disciple-making, and sustainable Catholic presence
for years to come. Each group will be charged with planning for the best way to achieve that vision in their local areas. In some areas, this may require new configurations such as multi-site parishes or multi parish pastoring”. In other words, we are now call to work together to better discern how we can best serve the Catholic
population of our area. Archbishop Cupich has invited all pastors to work closely with our parishioners in
providing the best input possible in order to benefit the Mission of the Church which is that of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ known to all peoples while bringing all peoples to friendship with God.
We must journey through this project with joyful and expectant hearts. Fear cannot be part of the discernment process for we know, the Lord is with us, directing our efforts and focusing our energies in the Service of God’s Kingdom. If we do so, no doubt the result will be the fulfillment of God’s will for our Faith
Community. Let us then journey with confidence and praying for the success of this new adventure… as it has
always happened, the Lord is our faithful companion on the journey.

Mensaje del Párroco
¡Renueva mi Iglesia! Inspirado en las palabras de Cristo a San Francisco de Asís, este es
un proyecto que, desde hace algunos meses, la Arquidiócesis está promoviendo. El propósito de todo este esfuerzo, es revitalizar la actividad misionera en esta Iglesia Local de
Chicago, mientras se busca la manera de aprovechar al máximo los recursos financieros,
humanos y espirituales con los que contamos. Después de muchas horas de dialogo y discusión, varios encuentros con los párrocos y algunos eventos que incluían el personal que
trabaja en nuestras comunidades de Fe, todas las parroquias de la Arquidiócesis se han
reunidos en pequeños grupos de reflexión y trabajo con los que se piensa sacar adelante el
proyecto.
Por cuestiones geográficas, nuestra parroquia del Monte Carmelo, ha quedado en el
mismo grupo que Sagrado Corazón, S. Carlos B. S. Domitila, S. Eulalia y S. Simeón. -Esta
es la propuesta, pero el grupo final se anunciará luego-. Como Mons. Manz lo ha dicho al enviarnos su carta
con la propuesta de grupos: “El propósito de los grupos, es acomodarnos de la mejor manera posible para que
podamos llevar a cabo la visión del Arzobispo en el proyecto Renueva mi Iglesia. Una Arquidiócesis constituida por parroquias que tienen recursos y la capacidad suficiente para considerarse una comunidad vital y vibrante, para una presencia católica que sea generadora de vida, creadora de discípulos y sustentable en los años
venideros. Cada grupo tendrá la responsabilidad de planear de la mejor manera posible como lograr esa visión
en sus áreas locales. Para algunas áreas, esto puede ser que requiera una reconfiguración que implique una parroquia con varios sitios de culto o proyectos multi-pastorales que envuelva a las diversas comunidades”. En
otras palabras, somos llamados a trabajar en unidad de manera que podamos discernir con claridad la mejor
manera de servir y atender a la población católica de nuestra área. El Arzobispo Cupich ha invitado a los párrocos a trabajar conjuntamente con sus parroquianos en proveer su mejor opinión de tal manera que beneficiemos la misión de la Iglesia que consiste en dar a conocer el Evangelio de Jesucristo mientras atraemos a todos
a la amistad con el Señor.
Debemos avanzar en este proyecto con el corazón alegre y lleno de expectativas. El miedo no puede
pasar a formar parte de este proceso de discernimiento, pues sabemos que Dios dirige nuestros esfuerzos al
servicio del Reino de Dios. Al hacerlo sabemos que el resultado asegura la implementación de la voluntad de
Dios en nuestras comunidades de Fe. Vayamos pues hacia adelante rezando por el éxito de esta aventura….
Como siempre, el Señor es nuestro compañero fiel en la jornada.
Adsum,
PADRES CON PODER!

TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
La salvezza del Signore è per tutti i popoli.
Non si è trovato chi tornasse a rendere gloria a Dio all'infuori di questo straniero. Gesù è diretto a Gerusalemme e attraversa la Samaria. Entrato nel territorio giudaico, da lui si presentano dieci lebbrosi. Essi si
tengono a distanza, come prescriveva la legge di allora, data la virulenza del contagio di una malattia ancora oggi così terribile. Nonostante queste limitazioni, i dieci lebbrosi riescono ad attirare Gesù, con la loro invocazione di aiuto. Gesù li sana tutti e dieci, invitandoli a presentarsi ai sacerdoti. Questo invito di
Gesù, all'immediata prossimità della sua Passione, ha due significati ben precisi. Da un lato è il riconoscimento del sacerdozio allora in vigore e dall'altro è il donare ai dieci malati una nuova vita civile-religiosa.
I dieci uomini guariti sono soddisfatti di quanto operato da Gesù stesso ma quasi tutti non sentono neanche
la necessità di ritornare per ringraziare lo stesso Gesù. Uno solo di loro, un samaritano - appartenente ad
un territorio considerato pagano - torna a lodare Dio in Gesù. Nel ringraziare il Signore, il samaritano mostra una vera fede; una fede sincera. Gli altri nove, anche se di religione giudaica invece, non mostrano la
stessa fede. L'atto di fede del samaritano è lodato dallo stesso Gesù; il samaritano torna, proprio per questo
suo atto di fede, non solo sanato nel corpo - come gli altri nove, ma anche salvato nell'anima. L'episodio
della liturgia di oggi è fonte di alcune riflessioni importanti per la nostra vita. Vi è un primo invito a liberare il nostro cuore da qualsiasi pregiudizio. Gli atti più belli e più puri possono venire da persone che noi
giudichiamo inferiori. Già questo porterebbe un motivo sufficiente per alimentare la nostra preghiera personale. Possiamo, però chiederci - nelle nostre preghiere - cosa domandiamo a Gesù? Siamo interessati
alla nostra conversione con la salvezza o pensiamo soltanto al nostro corpo? La sollecitudine di Gesù ad
esaudire i dieci lebbrosi dimostra quanto sia importante la guarigione fisica, soprattutto se con questa si
ridona una dignità civile. Quanto più importante, però è la salvezza dell'anima, quella che ci fa rinascere
ad una vera vita nuova? Anche questo interrogativo ci interpella nel profondo del cuore nell'invito a riconoscere le vere priorità della nostra vita. Ancora però possiamo chiederci quante volte "torniamo" a ringraziare Gesù per i suoi doni? Quante volte riconosciamo il suo intervento nella nostra vita? O Piuttosto crediamo che tutto ci debba essere come dovuto di diritto...?
Il nostro Pellegrinaggio nell’Anno
Santo della Misericordia
Sara Sabato, 15 ottobre, 2016, alla Chiesa di
San John Vianney in Northlake. Padre
Augusto e quelli che possono venire a piedi,
la partenza sara alle ore nove del mattino, da
Casa Italia con la recita del Rosario. Altri
possono venire in bicicletta o con
I’automobile. Alle ore 10 entreremo assiame,
cantando un’inno alla Madonna passando per
la “PORTA SANTA”, con I’acquisto dell’
Indulgenza plenaria. Quindi prenderemo
parte alla S. Messa e poi il ritorno alle
proprie famiglie.
Questo pellegrinaggio, secondo le intenzione
di Papa Francesco, ha un significato ben
precioso: siamo in cammino in questa vita,
incontro Signore.

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“PLUNGED” AND “CLEANSED”
Clear parallels exist between the characters in today’s scripture stories and our own lives as Christians.
Just as Naaman was “plunged into the Jordan” (2 Kings 5:14) we were plunged—the word “baptize” is derived
from a root word meaning “plunge”—into the waters of baptism. Just as Naaman became “like . . . a little
child” (2 Kings 5:14), in baptism we were born into new life as children of God. Just as the lepers in the
Gospel turned to Jesus for mercy and “were cleansed” and “healed” (Luke 17:14, 15), we, too, were washed
clean and healed of our sins in baptism. Finally, like both Naaman and the Samaritan leper, most of us have
never been members of the Jewish people. Yet we are among those of whom the Letter to Timothy speaks: In
baptism we were “chosen, so that [we] too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with
eternal glory” (2 Timothy 2:10).
GIVING THANKS
We who have received so much healing through Christ should devote our lives to giving God thanks
and praise. All of us were “foreigners” until we were baptized. None of us deserves God’s daily mercy and
care. And it is through our public expressions of thanks for God’s grace in our lives that others come to know
the saving power of Jesus Christ. Thus, public thanksgiving is central to the life of Christian discipleship.
The Eucharist is our primary means of giving public praise and thanks to God. Together we give thanks
for the gifts of creation and the covenant. We give thanks for the gift of salvation that is ours through Jesus
Christ and for the gifts of abundant life, unity, and healing that the Holy Spirit continually pours out on us.
During the Eucharist we also “sing joyfully to the Lord” (Psalm 98:4) in thanksgiving for the daily gifts of
God in each of our lives. In the words that we say before every Eucharistic Prayer, “It is right to give [God]
thanks and praise.”
