Christ. We open our lives to the wisdom
of the Holy Spirit that we may see all
things in the light of Faith.
We welcome all on our journey to
the Kingdom of God. Sacred Heart
nourishes the parish family through
the ministries of Evangelization,
Education, Sacramental Worship
and Christian Service.
We offer our time, talents and
treasure as stewards of God’s
Church. We call on each other’s
support as we build God’s Kingdom.
With our Lord’s help, we will
live the Gospel values of Faith,
Hope, Justice and Love.

Thanks be to God!
Recently somebody put something into the sink in the Server Sacristy that started a small
fire. We don’t know whether it was based on carelessness or malice. I hope it was carelessness! In any event, the fire burned up a plastic gallon jug, created a lot of soot and melted the
plastic coverings on the Dixie cups. Thank God it did not burn up to the goods stored above
the sink and beyond. It could have been a disaster.
Everyone, please keep your eyes open and be careful to spare our parish from the horror of fire.
******************************************************
Talking about fire, we will NOT have the burning of palms this year before Ash Wednesday. We made so many
ashes last year we will have enough for a number of years. You can either save last year’s palms for the future, burn
them with respect in a bonfire, or cut them and return them as mulch to mother earth.
******************************************************
Speaking of Lent, the Liturgy Committee has picked out a Lenten theme and chosen a symbol to express that theme!
It’s too early to tell what it is, so you will just have to wait till Lent to find out!
******************************************************
Most of the school people know this already, but a lot of parish people may not. We have a leak in our heating pipe
to the office, bathroom, and kindergarten bathrooms in the east school building. The water leaks into the ground and
drains out the transformer room door next to the boiler room door. We are having images taken to locate the leaks and
the pipes. By the time summer comes we should have a plan of repair. Please keep it in your prayers and keep practicing stewardship! It seems like there is always something that goes bust! To keep the kindergarten warm enough, we
have installed a safe electric heater till summer.
******************************************************
I think we are doing quite well with the new Roman Missal. I must confess that I find some of the new English word
structure to be clumsy and stilted, while some other phrases are an improvement. Whatever our likes or dislikes, this is
what the Church is asking of us. Let us keep at it and in a few years we will all forget there was another way!!!
The Lord be with you, And ? ? ? !!!
Fr. Friedl
P.S. Our thanks to everyone who participated in any way in our opening Sunday to Catholic Schools Week. It was a
good day. May the Lord bless our efforts.
Need a new perspective on the New Year?

an active parish leader, join us as we worship, learn & gather for the 2012 Parish Leadership Day on Saturday, Feb 18 at
Loyola Academy in Wilmette. You can choose from a wide variety of workshops & learn skills that help build vibrant
faith communities. To browse through the workshop offerings, visit www.archchicago.org/departements/councils &
click Parish Leadership Day. For more info or to register, contact Joe at the rectory by Feb 10.
WOE IS ME
Often we think about the troubles in our lives & cry out, “Woe is me!” Like
Job we might look around in despair at the misery in the world. Like Job’s friends
we might look backward for something or someone on which to blame our suffering. We may decide that God—or we ourselves—must be to blame.
The Gospel today offers a different perspective from which to view earthly
suffering. Jesus realized that there was nothing to be gained from looking around
in despair or backward in blame. Instead, he looked forward in hope. He did not
blame the sick & the possessed for their suffering, as many others did. And he did
not give up hope, even though he knew he couldn’t cure all the sickness in the
world. Jesus tried neither to eliminate human suffering nor to explain it. He simply
did what good he could do in the time that he had.
WOE TO ME IF I DO NOT PREACH IT!
Above all, Jesus kept preaching the good news of the reign of God, a spiritual reality that triumphs over every form of suffering. This was his purpose. When we believe in this good news we may not be healed of physical illness or understand the
reason for human suffering, but we do receive something much more valuable. We are healed of the sickness of despair &
freed from the demons of guilt & blame. The Spirit energizes us to do what good we can do in the time that we have. With
Paul we will want everyone to know about the healing, liberating reign of God. We might even begin to say, “Woe to me if I
do not preach” the gospel! Today’s Scriptures encourage us to look forward in hope, to do what we can, & to preach the good
news of the reign of God.
Today’s Readings: Job 7:1–4, 6–7; Psalm 147:1–6; 1 Corinthians 9:16–19, 22–23; Mark 1:29–39

Discernment, Anybody?
How do I discern God’s call?
The question is not really, “Do I want to be a deacon?”
Rather, you must ask yourself, “What does God want me to
be? How am I responding to God’s personal call?”
Christian discernment implies a life of faith & a sense
of one’s relationship with God. Discernment requires a
heart ready to listen & respond in prayer & reflection. Discernment also requires a mind prepared to learn about the
permanent diaconate & to decide what choice in your life
will bring the greatest joy to God, the world & yourself.
Do you believe Jesus may be inviting you to inquire about
this ordained ministry? Join us for...
“Exploring the Permanent Dioaconate”

Annual Catholic Appeal 2012
Please spend some time this week reflecting on the Annual Catholic Appeal brochure
that you received with your bulletin. While funding a number of Archdiocesan ministries,
the Appeal supports parish ministries that provide religious education to children,
youth & adults in economically disadvantaged communities. It is also one of the largest
philanthropic sources of financial assistance for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese.
Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal campaign is much different than a one time special collection.
It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments.
As you review the work enabled by your contribution to the Annual Catholic Appeal, please reflect on God’s gifts to
you. He has given you all that you have. Your gifts to our parish, to the Archdiocese & to the work of the Church
throughout the world are given in gratitude for the continuing gifts that God gives you.
Sometimes it is difficult to envision how one pledge can help an organization the size of our Archdiocese, how it can
make a real difference. But each pledge does make a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign & the
gifts of many enable our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries & services.
Our combined gifts not only signify our gratitude to God, they fund a significant portion of the work of our Archdiocese. After our parish goal of $17,119.00 is reached in cash, 100% of the additional funds come back to our parish to
help to fund our needs.
If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it & mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. For
those of you that did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond to it, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration & generous response.
Campaña Católica Anual 2012
Por favor, tómese un tiempo esta semana para reflexionar sobre el folleto de la Campaña Católica Anual que recibió con su
boletín. Además de financiar distintos ministerios arquidiocesanos, la Campaña apoya ministerios parroquiales que proporcionan
educación religiosa a niños, jóvenes y adultos en comunidades económicamente desfavorecidas. También es una de las fuentes
filantrópicas más grandes de apoyo financiero para las escuelas católicas de la Arquidiócesis.
Por favor, recuerde que la Campaña Católica Anual es mucho muy diferente de una colecta especial que ocurre una sola
vez. Es una campaña basada en la promesa de un donativo en la cual usted puede hacer un donativo que se paga en plazos.
Mientras revisa la lista de trabajos que son posibles gracias a su aportación a la Campaña Católica Anual, reflexione en las
bendiciones que ha recibido del Señor. Él le ha dado todo lo que usted tiene. Realice su donativo para nuestra parroquia, la
Arquidiócesis y las actividades de la Iglesia en todo el mundo en agradecimiento por todos los dones que Dios le ha dado.
En ocasiones es difícil imaginar cómo puede ayudar su donativo a una organización del tamaño de nuestra Arquidiócesis,
cómo puede marcar una diferencia. Sin embargo cada donativo marca una diferencia, porque todas las parroquias participan en
la Campaña y las aportaciones de muchos permiten que la Arquidiócesis ofrezca los ministerios y servicios necesarios.
La suma de los donativos no sólo representa nuestra gratitud a Dios, con ellos se financia una parte significativa de las
actividades de la Arquidiócesis. Una vez que nuestra parroquia alcance la meta de $17,119.00 en efectivo que nos hemos fijado,
el 100% de los fondos adicionales que recabemos regresará a nuestra parroquia para ayudarnos a financiar nuestras necesidades.
Si usted recibió por correo la forma para realizar su promesa de donativo, por favor llénela y envíela de regreso o tráigala a
misa el siguiente fin de semana. Para aquellos que no recibieron esta información por correo o no han tenido tiempo de
contestarla, hemos diseñado un proceso de promesa de donativos en las bancas que se llevará a cabo en todas las misas del
siguiente fin de semana.
Gracias por su fervorosa consideración a esta campaña y por su generosa respuesta.

Gracias a Dios…
Recientemente alguien colocó un plástico en la sacristía de los acólitos y se inició un fuego.
No sabemos si fue algún descuido o alguien lo hizo de adrede. ¡Espero que solo haya sido un
descuido! De cualquier forma el fuego consumió un galón de plástico y creó mucho humo.
Gracias a Dios no alcanzó a quemar los demás artículos en su proximidad. Pudo haber sido un
gran desastre.
Les pido a todos que me ayuden a cuidar la iglesia estando alerta para evitar cualquier desastre.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hablando de fuego, no vamos a quemar palmas este año antes del miércoles de ceniza. Tenemos suficientes del año
pasado y nos alcanzarán para muchos más. Ustedes pueden guardar sus palmas para el futuro, o quemarlas con el
debido respeto o cortarlas y depositarlas en la tierra.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hablando de la cuaresma, el comité de liturgia ha escogido el tema y el símbolo. No se los voy a compartir ahora porque
es muy pronto. Tan pronto lleguemos a la cuaresma les dejaremos saber.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
La mayoría de la gente relacionada con la escuela sabe, aunque la mayoría de los feligreses no, que tenemos una gotera
en la pipa del valentón, hacia la oficina y el baño y en el baño del kinder en el edificio sobre la 15 avenida. La gotera
entra a la tierra y al drenaje que pasa por debajo de salón de los transformadores cerca de la puerta donde esta el Boyer.
Hemos estado tomando fotos para localizar el lugar exacto del goteo en las pipas. Espero que para el verano ya
tengamos un plan para repararlo. Les pido que nos mantengan en sus oraciones y que nos ayuden a través de su
corresponsabilidad financiera. ¡Parece que siempre hay algo que se rompe! Para mantener el salón del kinder suficiente
caliente hemos instalado un valentón eléctrico hasta el verano.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Creo que estamos adaptándonos muy bien al nuevo misal romano. Debo confesarles que algunas de las palabras en la
estructura gramatical de inglés son difícil de pronunciar mientras que otras frases han mejorado. Ahora, no se cual sea su
opinión al respecto, sin embargo esto es lo que la iglesia nos ha pedido. Continuemos aprendiendo por otros años y so
nos olvidará que teníamos otra forma de decir lo mismo.
El Señor este Con ustedes y con tu??
Padre Friedl
P.S. nuestro agradecimiento a todos los que participaron en la celebración del domingo para las escuelas católicas. Fue
un excelente día. Que el Señor bendiga nuestros esfuerzos.

Heavenly Father, Look upon our brothers and sisters who are ill. In
the Midst of illness and pain, may they be united with Christ, who
heals both body and soul; may they know the consolation promised to those who suffer and be fully restored to health. We ask
this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
If you or one of your loved ones wish to be included on or taken
off the sick list, please call the Rectory at 344-0757 before the
first of each month.

Please join Fr. Meyr for Bible Study, every
