A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
Everything is gearing up for another year!
School is in full swing, so now we start our
Family Faith Formation, Youth Ministry, That
Man is You, bible studies, and much more.
Please be patient with us going through the
time/talent ministry sign-up sheets. Kathy is
making many corrections to keep our lists
reliable.
I hope you take advantage of all the opportunities to get involved and your children in
Family Faith Formation and Youth Ministry.
We are blessed with so many good people
working on these teams to pull off the opening events.
Have a Blessed Week!
Father Paul
WHY DO WE DO THAT? CATHOLIC
TRADITIONS EXPLAINED
Every week in our bulletin I see a Mass on
Sunday for the people of the parish. Is it
there to fill in an intention, or is someone
requesting it every week?
The pastor of a parish is charged with the
well-being of the community. There are many
aspects of this task, including the physical,
spiritual, and social concerns of maintaining
and building a community of faith. Each
week, by church law, the pastor offers Mass
on Sunday for the people of the parish. It is a
tangible and practical way that the pastor
prays for those entrusted to his care. No one
requests it, nor is it offered only when there
is an open intention. In fact, the pastor may
not accept a stipend for it. The spiritual
needs of the people are the primary concern
of the pastor. His prayer for them is the first
way he cares for them. You may also see
Mass intentions for those listed in a memorial, or deceased members of the parish, or
past members of a group or organization.
These too are ways the pastor remembers
the needs of all the members of his parish,
asking the Lord to bless and protect them,
bringing us all to eternal life.
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR:
All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the
grieving, the imprisoned, and the physically and emotionally ill.

Your Gifts Help SVdPS Fill Gaps in Income
After suffering a stroke, a local middle-aged man lost his
ability to work temporary jobs, his primary source of income. With little income, he was unable to pay his cell
phone bill, a phone needed to
contact and schedule his many
doctor's appointments. The St.
Vincent de Paul Society helped
him apply for Safelink while also
paying for his phone service until
the new emergency and free
phone service is activated. Vincentians also assisted him
in getting a copy of his birth certificate from another state
so that he could apply for disability. This is my commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved you. Jn 15:12
St. Peregrine Cancer Support Group Meeting
This multi-parish group of cancer survivors was formed to
offer a place for individuals, families, caregivers, and anyone concerned about cancer to meet with others to share
information, stories and pray together. They will meet next
on Tuesday, September 13, at 10 AM in St. Ambrose/St.
Catherine rooms in Apostles Bay. Location of the meetings
rotate from Holy Apostles, St. John in Johnsburg, St. Patrick in McHenry and St. Peter in Spring Grove. For details
contact Jeanne Fraser at 815-388-0164 or
[email protected]. All are welcome and
invited to attend.
Offer Your Intentions with Candles
Four candles surround the Blessed Sacrament in the All
Saints Perpetual Adoration Chapel, each burning for 14
days. Request your own personal intentions for their duration by contacting the Parish Office at 815-385-5673. The
suggested donation is $15 per candle. From September
11 through 24, with these candles, your prayers have been
requested by Debbie Byrne, the Traskaski Family,
Alejandra Rivera and Jean Kieres.
Be a Eucharistic Minister
Serving as a Eucharistic Minister is a rewarding and gratifying way of sharing your
time and talent with the parish. Distributing
the Precious Body and Blood of our Lord to
fellow parishioners is humbling and fulfilling. Please prayerfully consider joining
this ministry by attending one of the following formation sessions:

Tuesday, September 20, 7 to 8:30 PM or

Wednesday, October 5, 7 to 8:30 PM.
Both sessions will take place in church. These formation
sessions are for all who are interested in becoming new
Eucharistic Ministers. You are required to attend only ONE
of the above sessions. Please contact Kathy Gulvas at the
Parish Office at 815-388-0513 or kgulvas@the

Holy Apostles Mission Day—October 22

of God by serving others in need but
are unable to take a mission trip to do
so. Mission Day is an opportunity for
everyone to serve people in our community just for a day. Set aside

team of parish members to give a
hand to someone who needs assistance maintaining

our website thechurchofholyapostles.org.

(need not be parish members) who needs help at
their home with cleaning, yard work/landscaping,
painting, or light electrical, plumbing or construction
repairs? Let us add your needs to our “to do” list on
Mission Day. (We cannot guarantee that all requests
for help will be met.) Contact Joe Filpi at 815385-0921 or [email protected]
with your requests for help.

Holy Apostles Supper Happenings (H.A.S.H.)
What better way to meet new people, form new friendships
and spend an enjoyable night out than to gather around the
dinner table and share fellowship and a
special meal? Each HASH evening features a new and exciting menu and
each member contributes to the final
result. From salad and soup to the
main course and the dessert surprise,
the meals are great, the dinner festive
and the friendships lasting. There is a cocktail hour preceding dinner that brings all HASH folks together followed by
dinner at three or four of the member homes.
HASH Ministry welcomes all, single or married. Friends are
welcome ! AND HERE IS SOMETHING NEW—plans for this
season include three or four dinners, PLUS special events
including a hayride, a dinner-theatre event and an evening

Thanks for Aluminum Donations
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Thank you to everyone who has donated cans and
other aluminum items and their time to our Youth
Ministry aluminum collection. The money raised from
the recycled aluminum has helped send dozens of
teens on mission trips and pilgrimages to the March
for Life in Washington DC. It is important to give
special thanks to Mike Henningfield who built the
trailer and on countless occasions, drove it to the
recycling facility and emptied it by hand. Youth
Ministry will be retiring the trailer and at the end of
September we will no longer be accepting donations.
Thank you for your generous donations and May
God bless you abundantly.
RCIA is a process through which people learn about the
Catholic faith. RCIA is for you if:

You have never been Baptized;

You have been Baptized as a
Catholic but not received any other
sacraments;

You have been Baptized in another
faith;

You have been Baptized, received
your First Communion, but have not been Confirmed in
the Catholic faith; or

You are a Catholic who has been Confirmed but
wants to learn more about your faith. Anyone is welcome to any of our RCIA classes at any time!
Beginning on September 20, classes will be held on
Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 PM in the Family Center. Contact John Jelinek at 815-388-0155 or jjelinek@thechurch
ofholyapostles.org for more information.

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
8 Consejos del Papa Francisco
Para tener éxito en el matrimonio. La oportunidad era
inmejorable. Ante más de 12.000 parejas de novios, el
Papa Francisco ofreció los ingredientes para elaborar la
receta de un amor sólido
Primero, los novios tienen que estar dispuestos a convertirse en artesanos o incluso, en joyeros.
Francisco
"El matrimonio es un trabajo de todos los días, se puede
decir que artesanal, un trabajo de orfebrería porque el
marido tiene la tarea de hacer más mujer a la mujer y la
mujer tiene la tarea de hacer más hombre al marido. Crecer también en humanidad, como hombre y mujer.
Dijo el Papa que es un trabajo "para siempre pero que no
hay que asustarse. Se puede construir día a día.
Francisco
"El amor es una realización, una realidad que crece y podemos decir, como ejemplo, que es como construir una
casa. Y la casa se construye juntos, ¡no solos!. Para vivir
juntos para siempre es necesario que los cimientos del
matrimonio estén asentados sobre roca firme.
Francisco
"No querréis construirla sobre la arena de los sentimientos que van y vienen, sino sobre la roca del amor verdadero, el amor que viene de Dios. Para que un matrimonio
sea feliz, no basta con que dure "para siempre. La cantidad es tan importante como la calidad.
Francisco
"Un matrimonio no tiene éxito sólo si dura, es importante
también la calidad.
Y hay que mirar al cielo. Como se pide el pan de cada día
en el Padrenuestro, el Papa recomienda una oración para
los esposos.
Francisco
"En el Padrenuestro decimos: ´Danos hoy nuestro pan de
cada día. El matrimonio puede aprender a rezar así:
´Danos hoy nuestro amor de cada día´. Para Francisco,
estar enamorado significa pronunciar a menudo estas
tres palabras: con permiso, gracias y perdón.
Francisco "¿Puedo?" Es la petición amable de entrar en la
vida de algún otro con respeto y atención... ¿Sabemos
dar las gracias?: En vuestra relación ahora y en vuestra
futura vida matrimonial, es importante mantener viva la
conciencia de que la otra persona es un don de Dios... y a
los dones de Dios se les dice ´gracias´.
Francisco avisa: no hay ninguna persona que sea perfecta. Por eso, el secreto de la felicidad es pedir perdón.
Francisco
"Todos sabemos que no existe la familia perfecta, ni el
marido o la mujer perfectos. No digamos la suegra perfecta...Existimos nosotros, los pecadores. Jesús, que nos
conoce bien, nos enseña un secreto: que un día no termine nunca sin pedir perdón∙ .
Francisco también dio algunos consejos para hacer del
día de la boda una jornada inolvidable y genuina.
Francisco.
11 Septiembre, 2016
Hacedla de forma que sea una auténtica fiesta, porque el
matrimonio es una fiesta, una fiesta cristiana, ¡no una
fiesta mundana!¡Imaginad acabar la fiesta bebiendo té!
No puede ser. ¡Sin vino no hay fiesta!. Amor, paciencia,
comprensión y oración son algunos de los elementos presentes en los consejos del Papa. Después del "sí quiero
no hay que quedarse con los brazos cruzados sino trabajar el "para siempre.
