P age T wo Just a Thought... Fr. Tom Hurley As you will read in the following pages of this week’s Crossroads, some exciting new changes are happening in the area of Music Ministry at Old St. Pat’s. Like all of you, I stand utterly grateful to some wildly talented people whose skill and dedication have allowed Old St. Pat’s to carry one of the finest music ministries in the Archdiocese. After a great deal of personal reflection, our beloved Bill Fraher has decided that perhaps his role in our music program should change as we keep going forward. Bill will now be our Director of Concert Choirs and focus a great deal of his time and energy towards some of our “signature” events, namely Deck the Halls, Siamsa na nGnael, our Celtic Celebration, Too Hot to Handel, and hopefully develop some new musical venues for Old St. Pat’s and our supporters. The music for our Sunday experience and our overall liturgical life will be placed into the wonderful hands of our new Director of Liturgical Music, Dominic Trumfio and our Associate Director of Music, Laura Higgins. I am really excited for this new moment in the life of Old St. Pat’s. While so much can and will be said of Bill Fraher’s legacy to Old St. Pat’s, I am profoundly grateful to him for the absolute solid foundation Bill has created, allowing us to continue building our liturgies on lifegiving, prayerful music that leads us into the Mysteries of the Divine. Enough good things cannot be said for Bill’s creativity and his ability to foster great choirs, outstanding cantors, and a quality of music that speaks to the soul. Bill Fraher loves this place and her people. He has given more than 20 years of his life to the ongoing ministry and formation of Old St. Patrick Church. It was because of Bill’s deep care and concern for our future that, about a year ago, he invited Dominic Trumfio to be the leader our Children’s Choir for our Family Masses. Bill knows a good thing when he sees it. He has a knack for quality and creativity. Because of Bill’s invitation to Dominic, such a gift has brought to us another one of the finest musicians in the archdiocese with Dominic. Having both Bill and Dominic with us in these new capacities will be nothing but a blessing. And of course, we are so “tri-blessed” with the outstanding gift of Laura Higgins. A familiar face to all of us for many years, Laura’s gift of music, her stunning voice, and her knowledge of liturgy, choirs, and Old St. Pat’s will continue to be the blessing she brings to all of us. I have embarrassed her many times before publicly about this, but the transformation of the 5 p.m. Mass Choir has been nothing short of excellent. I stand grateful to Laura for her talents, her gracious style, and all the goodness she brings to Old St. Pat’s. She is a wonderful gift to this place and our mission. Please join me in welcoming this abundant blessing to our musical life. Once again, we have been blessed and I give thanks to God for continuing to enrich our experience of faith through the beauty of song. • Don’t forget about that 8 p.m. Mass we now have on Sunday nights for the summer! Enjoy these summer days. See you around! Fr. Tom Hurley Pastor, Old St. Patrick’s Church Weekday Mass — Schedule Change An Invitation from The Francis Xavier Warde School FXW Day | Wednesday, June 12 We invite you to join us for the Second Annual FXW Day, a school-wide celebration highlighting the impact that our families have made in our community.

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: A wakenings Wide Awake at 2 a.m. by Laura Fields It used to be unusual to be awake in the wee hours of the morning unless I was returning home from an evening with friends. But now, in my 50s, this waking-inthe-middle-of-the-night thing has become more common than unusual. Laura Fields That said, my normal reaction is to toss and turn fretting over lost sleep or some project that is yet to be finished. But recently I have come to see these sleepless hours as opportunities for prayer and awakenings, and I have begun to ponder the wisdom that comes in the deep quiet of the night. Often I turn to the Examen to review my day with the Lord at my side. According to IgnationSprituality.com, “the Daily Examen is a technique of prayerful reflection on the events of the day in order to detect God’s presence and discern God’s direction for us. [It] is an ancient practice in the Church that can help us see God’s hand at work in our whole experience.” The Examen includes five steps: 1. Become aware of God’s presence. 2. Review the day with gratitude. 3. Pay attention to your emotions. 4. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. 5. Look toward tomorrow. Inevitably, I am awed by the volume of moments from my day to pray about, and this night was no different. Among other things there was the spirit-filled conversation with a friend visiting from Atlanta, a good work meeting about new business, a moment of insight while catching up on overdue reading, and an inspired conversation about Pope Francis’ recent homily. Even though the homily was almost two weeks old, I opted to pray about it because the energy around it was still palpable. In the homily, Pope Francis had said “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!” In my conversation that day with friends we had talked about that inclusive statement and how important it was to hear it from the Pope. Now, in my prayer, I remembered how thrilled I had been when I saw the Huffington Post headline on Facebook (yes on Facebook). I prayed from the deep happiness that had initially welled up when I read this and the gladness I experienced sharing the story with friends in this little prayer group. In the Examen I became aware of my deep gratitude for God’s ways of surprising me (sometimes by the action; sometimes by the messenger) and God’s gentle reminders to me to stay open to the possibility of change. I even became aware of my delight that God’s message had come through Facebook. I do not know what tomorrow will bring or what awakening may happen at 2 a.m., but I do know that I no longer fear the sleepless nights, and in some ways I kind of look forward to them. But for now, as the birds start their morning song, I think I will go back to bed and grab a few more hours of blessed sleep.

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: P rograms Kinship Initiative The “100 Jobs Challenge” — Source of Justice and Hope By Vincent L. Guider 0 25 50 75 100 The Old St. Pat’s “100 Jobs Challenge” is an unbelievable blessing for Chris. Having known and worked with him and other North Lawndale job seekers, I am aware of their frustration at not being able to land honest, steady employment no matter how hard and how long they try. Vincent L. Guider Chris is one of those polite, intelligent, good-natured young adults, who like so many others in his community, cannot find a job. He is not in a gang. He has no addictions. He poses no danger to anyone. He graduated from high school in 2011, and the last thing he wants to do is beg or receive handouts to survive. However, he and others like him need help from people who have business connections if they are to have any chance of making a living and advancing in society. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against job seekers in Chris’ neighborhood to a far greater degree than they are for people in other Chicago metro areas. The per capita income in North Lawndale is 66.4% less than the Chicago average and 66.7% less than the Illinois average. The median household income in North Lawndale is 55.4% less than the Chicago average and 63.9% less than the Illinois average. In Chris’ neighborhood, poverty is 130.3% greater than the Chicago average and 430.4% greater than other Illinois communities. (Source: AreaVibes 2013) 100 JOBS CHALLENGE While we discussed his predicament, I asked Chris if I could share it with the people of Old St. Pat’s. He readily agreed, excited to be able to tell his story. He really wanted it to be known, but he was quick to insist, “I don’t want to be the object of anyone’s pity.” He continued, “Yes, keep it real in your article and make sure that your readers understand my story is not just about me. What I am going through is the same as what a whole bunch of folks around me are experiencing every single day. A lot of us don’t know how we’re going to make it without help.” His transparency, humility and refusal to cast blame amazed and stirred me. “Would they really do that for us?” Chris was awestruck by the notion of a “100 Jobs Challenge.” After I informed him of how it works and why the people of Old St. Pat’s are doing it, he paused and looked deep into my eyes as his watered. Then with an uncharacteristically puzzled expression he inquired, “Would they really do that for us?” I nodded, “Yes.” He shook his head in amazement and then asked for clarification, so I laid out what is being asked of the congregation. I said, “We are requesting that all working members of the congregation go to their places of employment and their other networks and make an appeal to set aside jobs, mostly entry level, for job seekers in North Lawndale. We will then funnel those jobs through the North Lawndale Employment Network, a non-profit organization that specializes in preparing and placing job seekers who face difficulties finding work.” Some jobs will also go to the Cara Program. At the end of my explanation, he broke out into a big smile and quipped, “That is awesome! Those are some good people at Old St. Pat’s. With that kind of help, maybe some of us can have a chance to make it out here.” My smile agreed with him. 6 Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org. Follow Old St. Pat’s on: P rograms In Chris’ neighborhood, poverty is 130.3% greater than the Chicago average and 430.4% greater than other Illinois communities Chris is so sharp minded that he immediately posed some obvious questions. “What about Old St. Pat’s people who are under-employed and unemployed?” he asked. I assured him that the church is definitely also concerned about them and that members of the congregation will network on their behalf as well. He said, “Good.” Then he inquired, “Do the people at your church realize many of us are not just jobless because we are lazy, ignorant or thugs?” I knew he was referring to the complicated socioeconomic and historical conditions that limit opportunities and resources for people in the neighborhood. He also is quite cognizant of the fact that businesses and available jobs are few and far between in the neighborhood. I assured him, “Yes, I believe that most of them do know.” His next question was equally as significant. He asked, “Do they understand that people Christopher Lawrence like me fill out applications, dress as best we can, go to job fairs, put together resumes and do everything we are told, but despite our best efforts no jobs seem to materialize?” Again I nodded, “Yes.” He then punctuated the conversation with a last bit of understated rhetorical wisdom. He concluded, “PLEASE be sure they know that nowadays finding a job is not about what you know or what you are willing to do. Today it is all about WHO you know.” I knew what he meant based on many previous conversations in which we had engaged. Having grown up as the child of a single parent in a poor household, Chris had little or no experience of a father, mother, uncle, aunt, grandparent or older sibling going to work every day. He has no relatives or family friends who are able to pick up a phone or send an email to make connections with internships, or summer jobs. He has no sources for job hunting clothes, bus fare, cash for food, other necessities or entertainment to take a break from his frustration. Furthermore, he grew up in a neighborhood where few adults were around to model honest, productive work on a regular basis. Chris and the others need to meet people in business who will help them to turn the corner. By no fault of their own, Chris and others in North Lawndale are trapped in cycles of joblessness, poverty and despair. Yet amazingly, and despite the desperateness of their conditions, Chris and other good people in North Lawndale hold on to hope that they will find sustainable jobs. For them, the “100 Job Challenge” can be the catalyst that not only changes the course of their lives, but also impacts generations to come in their families. What an amazing act of discipleship and justice by the people of Old St. Pat’s! What a noble challenge! Vincent L. Guider is Director of North Lawndale Kinship Initiative, Old St. Patrick’s Church.

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: P rograms Music Ministry —Transition For more than 20 years, Old St, Pat’s has been blessed with the prodigious talents of Bill Fraher as Music Director. Under Bill’s direction and dedication, the Old St. Pat’s community has been the recipient of outstanding music throughout the years. Our Sunday Liturgies have been enhanced with the beautiful sounds of our Liturgical Choirs that have been created and guided so gracefully by Bill. The themes and story lines of our Concert Choirs such as Deck The Hall and Siamsa na nGael as conceived by Bill have thrilled thousands of music lovers every year. Many, many wedding ceremonies have benefited from Bill’s creativity and personal touch. Originally, Bill single-handedly created the music programs for Old St. Pat’s; however, he also developed an outstanding Music Ministry staff that continues to produce and perform such spectacular music for our liturgies and concerts. Just recently, Bill has taken the time to reflect on his commitments to Old St. Pat’s while contemplating future personal goals. After much soul searching and many discussions with Bill, we make the following staff announcements for Music Ministry. You may be assured that the quality of our liturgical music programming will continue to soar to new heights. We are additionally blessed by the wonderful gift of Laura Higgins as she continues her commitment to the Old St. Pat’s community as Associate Director of Worship Music. BILL FRAHER, DIRECTOR OF CONCERT CHOIRS Bill will continue to be involved with Old St. Pat’s as Director of Concert Choirs such as Deck The Hall, Siamsa na nGael, and the Too Hot Choir in addition to weddings and funerals. Bill will conduct the Sunday Liturgical Choirs for the last time on Sunday, July 14, 2013. 8 Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org. Follow Old St. Pat’s on: P rograms DOMINIC TRUMFIO, DIRECTOR OF WORSHIP MUSIC On Monday, June 3, 2013, Dominic became the Director of Worship Music with primary responsibility for our Sunday Liturgy Choirs. For the past 18 months, Dominic has been involved at Old St. Pat as Director of Youth Music focusing on the Children’s Choir and Teen Choir program, for which he will continue to oversee. Upon receiving this news, Dominic said “please know this is a title I do not take lightly and I look forward to carrying on the tradition of musical excellence that Bill has established for the past 20+ years. It is a humbling and daunting task to follow one of the best Directors of Music that I know. It has been a great pleasure to work closely with Bill during the past year and a half, which will undoubtedly make this transition a seamless one. I look forward to my continued relationship with Bill as we work, in tandem, to lead the musical life of this great community. I also look forward to my continued work with Laura Higgins, as we both lead and guide you and help make the “tent grow wider”. As Bill put it so eloquently.” Dominic comes from a varied musical background having served as a full-time Director of Music of a large north suburban parish for 15 years (St. Raymond, Mt. Prospect); played for the national tour of Les Miserables for three years; served on the committee that put together the new Gather - Third Edition hymnal...played many shows for Broadway in Chicago and other local theaters (currently playing Oliver! at Drury Lane)...given workshops for the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM)...played solo flute and pennywhistles for a couple Siamsa na nGael celebrations...music coordinator and director for the Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union (CTU)...recorded and performed with many liturgical music composers, including friends of Old St. Pat’s: Liam Lawton and Rory Cooney...just to name a handful of the threads that make up the fabric of my music career. I am so deeply honored to have been asked to add Director of Worship Music of Old St. Patrick’s Church to this tapestry. Know that ALL of you are an important part of this great work in progress! LAURA HIGGINS, Associate Director of Worship Music We are delighted that Laura will now have the opportunity to increase her presence at Old St. Pat’s as she becomes more involved again with our worship music on a weekly basis. Laura will continue conducting the 5 p.m. Choir and celebrate the Liturgy with that congregation. You also will see her smiling face at the 11:15 a.m. Masses every week In the future as well as downstairs in the Church Hall when we overflow the pews in the church. Laura said “I am so lucky to be part of this Music Ministry Team. Some members had expressed their fears that the music on Sunday would ‘change.’ I understand people fearing change. I am one of them, too. But several years ago, I was given the mission to create a choir at the 5 p.m. Liturgy. Up until then, It was just me and a pianist, sometimes a flute or another singer. I had started singing at the 5 p.m. Mass the week after Bill Fraher started working at Old St Patrick’s — so I felt very comfortable continuing as the only cantor and did not think I could convince enough other singers to join in our songprayer to make a choir. I was afraid of change. But, thanks to Bill Fraher and Fr. Tom Hurley pushing 9 me past my comfortable limits, we now have at the 5 pm Liturgy, an amazingly talented group of singers and instrumentalists that I am privileged to direct. Among Bill’s many talents includes a fine hand in selecting music to enhance our songprayer. I have always been amazed at his ability to find music that not only reiterates the gospel message, but expands upon it and Is beautiful and stirring as well. Dominic Trumfio, I am happy to Inform you, has this same talent. I am so looking forward to singing and working with both these talented gentlemen. Bill Fraher has a unique view in creating the seasonal choirs that are a hallmark of Old St. Patrick’s Music Ministy. He has found (and in some cases commissioned) some amazing gems that we have sung at Deck The Hall and Siamsa concerts through the years I am so glad he will be continuing in this ministry of bringing beautiful music not only to us, at Old St Pat’s, but to the people of the city of Chicago.“ Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Komen Walk for the Cure on Mother’s Day. Team FXW, the largest team in the Chicago race, made a huge impact that day, raising more than $8,000 to support breast cancer research and awareness. It was an inspiring effort and a powerful tribute to FXW founder, Maggie Daley, to whom the race was dedicated this year. 1. Team Captain and FXW parent, Lisa Shydlowski, worked tirelessly to honor Mrs. Daley through the school’s participation. “I think Mrs. Daley would have been proud of us. As I looked at the crowd on race day, I thought about how this must have been what she envisioned: a group of parents and their children, from a variety of cultures, economic backgrounds and religions, joined together to do some good in this amazing city. It was a Mother’s Day I’ll never forget.” 2. Despite the blustery cold weather, FXW 5th grader, Elijah Davis, was thrilled to be a part of the Komen Walk for the Cure. “I liked that we raised a lot of money to help people with breast cancer get healthy again.” Second grader, Maura Higgins agreed. “I like knowing that my school and friends worked together to help people who have cancer. It makes me feel so happy that we can help people.” The Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure provided FXW students and families with a wonderful opportunity to work together to make a difference in Chicago. At FXW, the lesson of service is one that all students both learn and experience. 3. 1.FXW 5th graders, Sophia Kouri, Kendall Pollard, Taylor O’Donnell and Bella Shydlowski cross the finish line. 2.Team FXW Captain, Lisa Shydlowski and Susan G.

Greeley grew up in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and attended St. Angela School and Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary. He studied for the priesthood at St. Mary of the Lake seminary in Mundelein and was ordained in May 1954. He earned a doctorate in 1962 from the University of Chicago. While studying for his doctorate, he was attached to Christ the King parish in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood. In a statement released by his family, and the Durkin Family, who are long time members of Old St. Pat’s, they said “our lives have been tremendously enriched by having the presence of Fr. Andrew Greeley in our family. First and foremost as a loving uncle who was always there for us with unfailing support or with a gentle nudge, who shared with us both the little things and the big moments of family life. But we were specially graced that this man was also an amazing priest who recently celebrated the 59th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. He served the Church all those years with a prophetic voice and with unfailing dedication, and the Church he and our parents taught us to love is a better place because of him. Our hearts are heavy with grief, but we find hope in the promise of Heaven that our uncle spent his life proclaiming to us, his friends, his parishioners and his many fans. He resides now with the Lord of the Dance, and that dance will go on.” Visit our website at www.oldstpats.org.

Women and Men of Faith June 11 St. Barnabas Barnabas, a Jew of Cyprus, comes as close as anyone outside the Twelve to being a fullfledged apostle. He was closely associated with St. Paul (he introduced Paul to Peter and the other apostles) and served as a kind of mediator between the former persecutor, St. Paul, and the still suspicious Jewish Christians. When a Christian community developed at Antioch, Barnabas was sent as the official representative of the Church of Jerusalem to incorporate them into the fold. He and Paul instructed in Antioch for a year, after which they took relief contributions to Jerusalem. Later, Paul and Barnabas, now clearly seen as charismatic leaders, were sent by Antioch officials to preach to the Gentiles. Enormous success crowned their efforts. After a miracle at Lystra, the people wanted to offer sacrifice to them as gods—Barnabas being Zeus, and Paul, Hermes—but the two said, “We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God” (see Acts 14:8-18). But all was not peaceful. They were expelled from one town, they had to go to Jerusalem to clear up the ever-recurring controversy about circumcision and even the best of friends can have differences. When Paul wanted to revisit the places they had evangelized, Barnabas wanted to take along John Mark, his cousin, author of the Gospel (April 25), but Paul insisted that, since Mark had deserted them once, he was not fit to take along now. The disagreement that followed was so sharp that Barnabas and Paul separated, Barnabas taking Mark to Cyprus, Paul taking Silas to Syria. Later, they were reconciled—Paul, Barnabas and Mark.
