To You From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Saturday, the 1st of November was All Saints’ Day. This year, it was not a Holy Day of Obligation,
being too close to Sunday. Generally, Sunday always takes priority in the Liturgy, being the Day of
the Lord. On All Saints’ Day we honor all the saints, both the known and unknown, whether
canonized or not. The day commemorates all those who have attained what is called in our
Catechism the beatific vision. In other words, those who now see God face to face in Heaven.
The Scripture says God "dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has even seen or can
see" (1 Timothy 6:16), but when God reveals Himself to us in heaven we will then see Him face
to face (1 Cor. 13:12; Matt 5:8; Ps. 17:15) This Sunday is All Souls' Day. This is the day when we
commemorate our departed brothers and sisters, praying for the repose of their souls. Both All
Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are based on our fundamental belief in the Communion Of Saints
contained in the Creed that we profess Sunday after Sunday.
Our Catholic Tradition teaches that the Church consists of three groups: the church triumphant,
that is, those who are already in Heaven and are enjoying the vision of God; the church penitent,
those who have died and are being purified in purgatory; and the church militant, those who are
living. We believe that there is a spiritual connection among these three groups in the form of
prayerful intercession for one another. We pray to the Saints in Heaven to intercede for us, to
help and guide us; we pray for all the dead, especially for the suffering souls in purgatory; and in
turn the Saints and those who have gone ahead of us pray for us and intercede in our behalf.
This loving connection is what we call in faith the Communion of Saints, which is the very
foundation of the two feasts we now observe.
The Litany of the Saints is quite long which is something to celebrate. Pope John Paul II
canonized 110 saints between 1982 and 2004. Pope Benedict XVI canonized 45 saints during
his short pontificate. The present Pope, Francis I, so far has canonized 10 saints including St.
John Paul II and St. John XXIII. The elevation of these two contemporary popes to sainthood took
place only this year (April 27). Although most of the saints that were canonized in recent time
lived in the previous centuries, we are blessed to have witnessed the addition of a few names to
the litany of the saints of holy individuals with whom we are very familiar, as they belonged to our
time and generation. Along with St. John Paul II and St. John XXIII, there is Fr. Damien who
served the lepers in Molokai, Hawaii. He was canonized on October 11, 2009. There is Mother
Teresa of Calcutta who was beatified on October 19, 2003. There is Sister Faustina Kowalska,
Apostle of Divine Mercy who was canonized on April 20, 2000. There are Edith Stein and
Maximillian Kolbe, both of whom were martyred in the Auschwitz concentration camp. They were
canonized on October 11, 1998 and October 10, 1982 respectively.
On these feasts, let us glorify God together with the saints in Heaven and at the same time pray
for the repose of the souls of our dear departed ones. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and
let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.
Sincerely Yours In Christ,
Fr. Burt Absalon,
Pastor

Joanne Sotiroff has experienced many
moments of ‘conversion’ in her life. Her
relationship with the Holy Spirit began,
like it does for all of us, at Confirmation.
But she really fell in love with the Holy
Spirit during a Life in the Spirit seminar
in 1985. After that, He drew her to
share her faith through cantoring and
leading Bible studies. Joanne was living
life, recognizing His power and presence
in many personal situations. But then:

“For it is in
giving that
we receive.”
St. Francis of Assisi
In 1996, when a friend was leaving for a Catholic conference
in Nebraska, she asked what kind of book I would like. I suggested a book about the Holy Spirit. When she returned she
handed me True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort. I
am ashamed to admit I was somewhat disappointed because I
did not have a devotion to our Blessed Mother; I was in love
with the Holy Spirit. My friend told me they didn’t have any
books on the Holy Spirit, but she thought the Lord wanted me
to have this one. OK. That sold me. How could I NOT read a
book that God had chosen for me? I read the book and completed the 33-day preparation for consecration. Nothing really
seemed to change in my life spiritually, but looking back, I believe Mary was at work even though I was not recognizing her.
The year after my consecration, I resumed my teaching career
by accepting a job at Montini in McHenry. I was blessed in so
many ways during the five years that I worked there. I am sure
that Mary’s intercession is the reason.
Fast forward to the fall of 2010. Our pastor asked a friend and
me to organize a retreat for the women of our parish. As we
left the meeting, it felt like a blazing fire was ignited inside of
me. I was soooo excited to take on this challenge! I had no
idea what we would do, but I was on fire! A few days later, as I
got out of bed to start the school day, the Holy Spirit inspired
me with an idea for the retreat. I jotted it down and as I did,
more ideas came, and within two minutes, I had written down
what appeared to be the outline for a retreat and guess what?
It was all about Mary! I know this was the Holy Spirit at work,
and not my idea, since I was still not practicing a devotion to
our Blessed Mother. As I was putting the finishing touches on
the retreat outline, I decided it would be nice to invite the
women to consecrate themselves to Jesus through Mary.
That’s when the “light bulb” went on and I realized what God
had been up to. Then a parishioner told me about 33 Days to
Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley. She said it was a much
easier way to understand and prepare for the consecration. I
read the book and fell in love with Mary. After this second consecration and all I learned about Mary as I prepared the retreat, I can say I am truly living out my consecration to her.
One great thing I learned is that when we consecrate our lives
to Jesus through Mary, we get MORE of the Holy Spirit at work
in us because He is her spouse! God honored the desire of my
heart for more of the Holy Spirit by leading me to consecrate
my life to her.
Now, as I live out my devotion to Mary, I can definitely see the
fruits of her intercession in my life. Most importantly, I am
aware that she is gradually taking away the appeal of worldly
things so that I can more purely focus on investing my time,
talent, resources, and energy to gain treasures that will never
perish.

This year William Shakespeare returns to
the Marian Central stage with an abridged
production of Twelfth Night. The abridgment was done by John Minigan. On the
island of Illyria, Viola, a young woman, has been shipwrecked. Lost and alone, fearing that her twin brother
Sebastian has died in the wreck, Viola disguises herself
as a boy and takes up residence as a servant of Orsino,
the Duke of Illyria. Orsino is pining over his unrequited
love for Olivia, a noble woman who is refusing to marry,
and he asks for Cesario (Viola’s male disguise) to help
him woo Olivia. Over the course of the play, Viola falls in
love with Orsino, and Olivia falls in love with Viola/
Cesario instead of Orsino. In a side plot, Sir Toby Belch, a
nobleman and uncle to Olivia, along with several other
servants and nobles, devise a plot to get revenge on
Olivia’s chastising butler, Malvolio, for his rudeness.
This rag-tag gang convinces Malvolio that Olivia is his
secret admirer. Will love prevail? Will family members be
reunited? Will justice be served? Twelfth Night is a combination of Shakespeare's best comedic elements: love,
mistaken identity, and slapstick humor. This production
with its talented cast will be loved by both Shakespeare
novices and veterans alike.
Come on out for an enjoyable evening for the whole family while supporting local high school theater. Performances for Twelfth Night are Friday, November 7 at 7:00
pm and Sunday, November 9 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are
available at the door for $8.00 for adults, $4.00 for seniors and students.

This past Sunday, over 2000 youth and chaperones
gathered at Boylan High School for the 2014 Youth Summit. Throughout the day this huge crowd worshipped
and adored Our Lord. As I looked over the sea of teenagers who opened their hearts to God, I couldn’t help but
think about these early November feasts of All Saints’
Day and All Souls’ Day. You see, in that gym there were
2000 souls singing praises to our Lord for the duration
of the day. I hope and pray that one day I will be able to
sing again with all 2000 of these souls, along with billions and trillions of others, as saints in heaven. We
celebrate All Saints’ Day as a way of reminding us where
we are going, and we celebrate All Souls’ Day as a way of
helping other souls to complete their journey and to enter into the party in heaven. All of us, every single one of
us, are invited to enter into this eternal summit, but we
have to make the choice to accept God’s invitation to get
there. The beautiful and inspiring thing about the Youth
Summit was that it was clear that these teens want to do
all that they can to journey with the Lord. All of us
should be inspired by their example and seek to do the
same so that we can all praise God together. How do we
accomplish this? By praying and asking God to reveal
the path to you. Today, pray and let God continue to
lead you on the right path!

Jesus spoke these words to John as He
was dying on the cross. Surely these
words are for all of us or Jesus would
have arranged for John to care for His
mother earlier in the Gospel as He did
when He told Peter He was giving him the keys to
His kingdom here on earth. Throughout the Old and
New Testaments, we see that God is familyoriented. He is our Father, Jesus is His Son, and
Mary is our spiritual mother, the spouse of the Holy
Spirit as revealed at the Annunciation. We are all
called to draw near to her. When we honor her, we
honor her Son, Jesus. We invite all of you to develop or deepen your devotion to our Blessed
Mother by joining a parish wide preparation for consecration to Jesus through Mary. To do this, we will
use the easy-to-read book by Fr. Michael Gaitley,
MIC, 33 Days to Morning Glory ($3). On November
9, we will all begin reading just 2 pages a day. On
December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
we will recite the prayer for consecration. If you
would like to join a six-week study group which will
include 30 min. DVD presentations by Fr. Gaitley,
