HAPPY FEAST DAY, SAINT TERESA!

¡FELICIDADES SANTA TERESA EN TU DÍA!
What a glorious and beautiful time to celebrate
our church and our story as a people of faith.
As your pastor, I feel very privileged to be with
you, and to journey with you NOW in the continuation of the unfolding of God’s plan for each
one of us. In my quiet moments, I have in fact
tried to describe for me why our parish is so special, and
why it is so easy to love this church. This is probably a
good time to share some of these thoughts, so here they
go:
Que tiempo tan glorioso y hermoso al celebrar
nuestra iglesia y nuestra historia como pueblo
de fe. Como su pastor, me siento privilegiado en
estar con ustedes, y caminar con ustedes HOY
en la continuación del des-pliegue del plan de
Dios para cada uno de nosotros. En momentos
de silencio, yo he tratado de describir el por-qué nuestra
parroquia és tan especial, y el porqué es tan fácil amar
ésta iglesia. Probablemente éste és buen tiempo para
compartir algunos pensamientos, aquí van:
Faithfulness. This is a Church where people want to
have a relationship with God and the Church, to
grow in devotion and prayer.
Hospitality. Our Church has a welcoming spirit that
makes people want to be a part of it.
Diversity. Our diversity shows our attitude towards others – we do not exclude anyone.
Generosity. Our Church is built and sustained by the
generosity of Her faithful, not only sharing our resources, but also our time and talent.
Community. We love doing things together, and it is not
hard to see that we all actually like each other, we
are literally a church made up of friends and family.
Service. The service ministries that we do here in our
500-family parish can be compared to the much bigger parishes in our diocese. And we do these service ministries very well!
Vibrancy and Growth. We still see many young families with young children in our parish, and we are
actually growing in number. We have a present and
a future!
Poverty. Our poverty is one of our greatest strengths. It
makes us trust in God, and motivates us to work
hard for the sake of our community.
Mentors. Our Church has learned from and grown with
many amazing mentors and guides - not only the
priests but also the religious nuns that worked with
us through the years!
LOVE OF PRIESTS. This is a Church that actually loves
the priest, and I am one of the many witnesses to
that!
Fidelidad. Ésta és una iglesia dónde la gente quiere
tener una relación con Dios y la Iglesia, crecer en
devoción y oración.
Hospitalidad. Nuestra Iglessia tiene un espíritu acogedor que aníma a la gente a recibirlo y compartirlo.
Diversidad. Nuestra diversidad demuestra nuestra
actitud hacia otros – no excluímos a nadie.
Generosidad. Nuestra Iglesia está edificada
sostenida por la generosidad de Sus fieles, no solamente compartiendo nuestros recursos, pero también nuestro tiempo y talento.
Comunidad. Juntos gozámos haciéndo las cosas, y no
es difícil ver que actualmente hay simpatía mutua,
literalmente sómos una iglesia de familias y amistades
Servicio. Los ministerios de servicio que aquí se
llevan a cabo en nuestra parroquia de 500 familias
pueden compararse a las parroquias más grandes en
nuestra diócesis. Y ¡hacémos éstos ministerios muy
bién!
Vibrancidad Y Grecimeiento. Todavía vémos
en nuestra parroquia familias jóvenes con sus niüos.
¡Tenémos un presente y un futuro!
Pobreza. Nuestra pobreza és una de nuestras más
grandes fuerzas. Nos hace confiar en Dios y nos
motiva a trabajar duro para el bién de la comunidad.
Guías. Nuestra Iglesia ha aprendido y crecído con
muchos asombrosos guías – no solamente los sacerdotes pero también monjas religiosas que han trabajado con nosotros a través de los años!
Amor Por Los Sacerdotes. Ésta es una Iglesia
que actualmente ama al sacerdote, y de ésto yo soy
uno de los muchos testigos!
My beloved Saint Teresa Church, I greet you a happy
and wonderful feast day! I know that our patroness is
very proud of us and is constantly praying for us, so that
just like her, we may always breathe the holiness of God,
as we walk hand in hand in building our holy, happy and
healthy little Catholic Church in this side of Kankakee.
God bless our church!
In loving devotion,
Fr. Sunny Castillo
Mi querida Iglesia Santa Teresa, les saludo ¡en un día de
fiesta felíz y maravillosa! Yo sé que nuestra patrona está
orgullosa de nosotros y constantemente reza por nosotros, para que cómo élla, siempre respiremos la santidad
de Dios, según caminámos mano en mano edificando
nuestra alegre y saludable pequeña Iglesia Católica en
éste lado de Kankakee. ¡Dios nos bendiga!
En devoción afectuosa,
Padre Sunny Castillo

The Nine months of The Child Jesus in the Womb of Mary
The Seventh Month—September 25 to October 25
Mary and Joseph knew in advance that their baby would be
a boy. And although Jesus was not his biological child,
Joseph eagerly anticipated his birth. By the seventh month,
the baby’s hands grip strongly. His eyelids open and close
as He surveys his increasingly cramped surroundings. The
baby is not 15 inches long and weighs 2-3 pounds. The
infants listens intently for his recognizable voice. A child of
seven months would survive birth. Four to 20 couples wait to
adopt each available child. The average abortion takes 5-10
minutes. The average wait for adoption is 2-10 years.
Pray for all adoptive parents who provide the loving and
nourishing environment which every child deserves, and for
foster parents who lend their hearts and homes to those
whose fates hang in the balance.

A note from your Nurse: Whole Person Health-Learn to Play
Summer is over, however you still have time to play-it will be
good for you and for your children! Kids seem to know inherently just what to do to have fun, but adults may need a little
help. Above all else, make sure your playtime is enjoyable
and not something that feels like ‘one more thing to fit into
the day.’ Playing should be simple, fun, and easy and something that’s a regular part of your routine. Try to fit some
typed of play into your day, every day, and you’ll feel the difference. Need a few ideas? Try some music, going for a walk,
drawing a picture, doing something you enjoyed as a kid,
playing cards or a board game, singing a song, daydreaming,
or writing a poem. “ You will find you feel healthier, happier
and more fulfilled when you can do things that provide the
kind of satisfaction you’re looking for,” says Howard Tinsley,
professor of psychology at Southern Illinois University. “Over
the long term, the ability to do these kinds of things leads to
a greater level of physical and mental health, and to a higher
quality of life.”
Sept. 27/28.
The second reading today calls us to
complete my joy by being of the same
mind, with the same love, united in
heart, thinking on thing…” Bring your
marriage to a unity of heart. Restore,
renew and rekindle your marriage at an
upcoming Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on
October 10-12, or December 5-7, 2014. Contact Jim
