St. Stephen, Deacon & Martyr
C a t h o l i c C h u r c h
A Catholic community of faith striving to
witness to the Gospel. Our Baptism and
Confirmation calls us to bring Christ’s
Love to our families, our work places and
our community. Grateful for God’s gifts,
we seek to nurture those gifts and to give
back to the Lord by sharing our time,
talent and material treasure. In all of
our parish activities we seek to develop a
personal relationship with the Lord who
directs our lives and a vision that sees the
world with the eyes of Christ and that
leads to a commitment to justice. We
seek a sense of unity in Christ that leads
us to be an open and welcoming people
and a sense of joy in being graced by the
gifts of God’s Love.

From Our Pastor
D
ear People of St. Stephen,
In today’s gospel disciples of John
the Baptist, after John pointed out Jesus and
said “Behold the Lamb of God”, begin to
follow Jesus and ask Him where he is
staying. Jesus responds with the invitation:
“Come and you will see.” For me, this is an
invitation that Jesus extends to each one of
us: “Come and get to know me, and you
will see all that I can mean for your life.”
Matthew Kelly, in his book “The Four Signs
of a Dynamic Catholic”, speaks of the
importance of spiritual habits. The things
we do repeatedly have a great impact on our
lives. The spiritual challenge we all face is to
build habits that deepen our relationship
with Christ and give focus to our lives.
Those habits are the ways that we respond
to Jesus’ invitation to “Come and see.” One
of the building blocks for a parish that is
presented in the Parish Transformation
Initiative, one chosen as a focus for our
parish, is the “call to holiness.” Holiness is
not separation from the world of daily
activities; it is not a quality only to be
sought in monasteries. The “call to holiness”
is meant for all people. Holiness is found
wherever people live in the spirit of Christ’s
love and bring the loving presence of Christ
to the world that they live in each day.
Jesus’ invitation to “come and see” calls us
to be aware of His presence with us and to
seek to do His will in the circumstances of
our daily lives. For most people in our
parish, holiness is lived in their family
relationships and in their daily work – two
places in which most people spend the great
majority of their time. Matthew Kelly talks
about growing as followers of Christ in
small steps. We live the “call to holiness” in
the small steps that we take to open our
hearts to the Lord in prayer a bit more and
to bring a little more of the Lord’s love into
our world. In responding to Jesus’ invitation
in today’s gospel, I encourage you to take a
small step – perhaps in giving a bit more
time to growing in your prayer life or to
learning about your faith. Consistently
taking small steps to try to grow both in
knowing the Lord and in living His love is
the way that we will all grow as faithful
disciples of Jesus.
On another topic, I want to give a brief
update to our parish’s work in the Parish
Transformation Initiative. We will present
specific ideas generated by our work last fall
to Bishop Wypych, our vicar, in a meeting
in about 10 days. Those ideas will focus
around four areas: prayer and worship,
catechesis, the call to holiness, and finances.
After the Bishop reviews the work of our
group, approves our direction, and makes
any suggestions that he has, we will share
the ideas generated with everyone and will
begin an implementation process. As
Matthew Kelly writes in relation to the
spiritual growth of individuals, growth
almost always occurs in small steps. In the
implementation process we will begin to
work on the growth of our parish, taking a
number of steps that we hope will lead us to
be more faithful followers of Christ. Please
pray for God’s guidance as we continue to
seek to grow as disciples of Jesus.
I want to thank Kevin and Tina Bugos, Matt
and Katie Vieck, and Kim Gabryel for their
work in planning and running our Trivia
Night last Saturday. It made for a very
enjoyable evening for the over 100 people
(the full capacity of our large meeting
room) who participated. Thanks to all who
came. Another very enjoyable evening that
is upcoming is our fourth annual Comedy
Night, co-sponsored by St. Stephen and
Cardinal Bernardin School. It will be held
on Saturday, February 7, at the Orland
Château. More information is elsewhere in
the bulletin. I invite you to attend.
Next Sunday we begin, with all the churches
in the United States, to celebrate Catholic
Schools Week. I invite you to the Open
House to be held from 1 PM to 3 PM next
Sunday, January 25, at our parish school,
the Cardinal Bernardin School, which is
located at 94th Ave. and 167th St. Cardinal
Bernardin students from our parish will
participate in a special way at the 10 AM
Mass next Sunday. The annual second
collection to support the “Angel Fund”, a
fund to assist students in financial need who
wish to attend Cardinal Bernardin School,
will be taken up at all the Masses next
weekend. I ask everyone’s prayers for God’s
blessing on the work of our parish school.
God bless you and your loved ones.

Confidentiality and Compassion are cornerstones of our SVdP ministry.
If you or a parishioner close to you is in need, please contact SVdP at 708-342-2400 ext.205.
A representative will return your call to arrange a confidential conversation.
In the Gospel today, Jesus asks “What are you looking for?” Often we are looking for happiness in very selfish ways,
but we find that when we look for ways to make others happy, it is then that we truly become happy. As you place
your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul poor box, know that you are a sign of God’s love to those who are suffering and you
give them reason to believe and to trust.
Monthly Scripture Reflection
In the Gospels Jesus frequently invites us
to follow Him. This is evident in the early
days of His ministry. After John the
Baptist points out the “Lamb of God”, two
of his disciples chose to follow Jesus.
Although they are cautious, Jesus draws
them out inquiring what it is they seek.
He also invites them to “come and see”
where He is staying. This is a chance for
them to truly get answers to what they
are seeking. In the passages relating these
events, Jesus clearly shows that He is
willing to meet us more than half way as
we seek Him out. Jesus makes the first
step. The disciples must have had many
questions and Jesus makes it easier for
them. Jesus shows that He is easily
approachable and is eager to bring us
peace, security and happiness.
This Gospel reading is from the 2nd
Sunday in Ordinary time, January 18,
2015. The priest or deacon will relate the
message of this gospel as they see fit. We
can reflect on the gospel personally and
see what message(s) it gives us. On the
third Saturday of each month a group of
parishioners meet to discuss the gospel
reading for that week. On Saturday,
January 17th, we will be discussing this
particular Gospel reading. After reading
the Gospel passage three times with
pauses in between to reflect on the
message, open discussion follows.
Sharing occurs among the group showing
what the passage means to us individually
and is at whatever level you feel
comfortable.
Our meeting starts promptly at 9:00 a.m.
in the parish office and last for exactly one
hour. We invite you to join us when your
schedule permits. There is no
requirement to attend each month. Please
plan to be part of this scripture reflection
experience. Bring a friend.
you have been considering joining
Scripture Study, this will be a good time
to do so. We are a very welcoming

Mass Book for the year 2016
Our Mass Book for the year 2016 will be opened on January 20. Due to the high volume of Mass requests that we receive, we will

come in to purchase a Mass for their loved ones. Thank you for your understanding. Wishing you a Blessed New Year! Karen
Be Part of the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal
“Entrusted with Responsibility”
Many of you have responded to the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Archbishop Cupich. On behalf of those served by the
ministries and services funded by the ACA, we thank you for your gifts. If you received the mailing and have not responded, please do
so as soon as possible. The Appeal supports both parish and Archdiocesan ministries. Through the Appeal support is given to
educational programs and other services in economically disadvantaged parishes and schools, to care for the poor for Catholic Relief
Services, and to ministries that offer comfort and care to people in need. Support is also given to the education and ongoing formation
for deacons, priests, and lay ministers and to groups that support respect for life at every stage. The program of formation that Bob
Conlin of our parish is currently enrolled in as he prepares for ordination to the diaconate is one program that the Appeal directly
supports. This year the theme of the Appeal is “Entrusted with Responsibility”. God provides each of us with many gifts. We
have a responsibility not only to recognize these gifts but also to nurture them. As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should also
reflect on our gratitude for these gifts, Your financial support for the work of our parish, our Archdiocese and the Church throughout
the world is, in fact, one way to express this gratitude. Please give generously to the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal. Donations can be
given over a period of five months. When our parish reaches its goal of $68,147 in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds will be
returned to us for use in our parish.
Leaving a Legacy from Retirement Accounts
At present, donors cannot make direct gifts to the church from their IRA accounts; as of this printing, that law has not been renewed
for 2014. However, it can still make sense to use an IRA distribution for charitable giving. Although your distribution would be
considered taxable income, making a direct gift of these funds to the church for the benefit of our parish would allow you a charitable
tax deduction, helping to offset the taxes owed. Of course. You can still donate your IRA assets to the church by directing that the
account assets—either completely or partially—come to us at death. The planned giving office of the Archdiocese of Chicago is happy
to answer any questions. Please call Patti Condon in the Archdiocese Office of Stewardship and Development at 312-534-7911.

Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School Open House
Dear Parishioner:
We invite you to attend our Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School Open House on Sunday, January 25,
from 1 – 3pm. Sponsored by four parishes (St. Stephen Deacon & Martyr, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Francis of Assisi, and
St. Julie Billiart), CJB is your Pre-K through 8th Grade Catholic parish school.
We are pleased to announce that CJB offers full-day and half-day 3-year-old and 4-year-old Pre-K and we
continue to provide full-day Kindergarten, as well! As we continue to grow, we have so much to be proud of! Did you know that
CJB was named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education?! (This distinction is earned by being in the top
15% of the nation’s schools in Reading and Mathematics, based on the scores of nationally-normed tests.) In addition to blue ribbon academic
excellence, our faith-based daily religious instruction, shared communal prayer and weekly Mass attendance contribute to shaping
the lives of our students. Children are also encouraged to maximize their God-given talents by participating in extra-curricular
activities, from athletics to choir to drama club. And, in addition to these opportunities, our students volunteer their time in local
community service projects. Our school patron, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, former Archbishop of Chicago, devoted his life to
issues of social justice, peace and the sanctity of human life. It is important to us that his legacy remains a part of CJB.
We have high expectations of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School students. We challenge them academically, and we strive
to instill in them the Gospel values. CJB provides a loving and nurturing environment in which children grow intellectually,
spiritually, physically and emotionally. If this is the kind of school that you would like for your child, we look forward to
welcoming you to our Open House on January 25.
Sincerely, Rev. Jay Finno, Pastor Mary Iannucilli, Principal
P.S. Registration packets for the 2015-2016 school year will be available at our Open House, online, and through the school office.
Registration opens on January 25; we will continue to accept applications until all spaces are filled. As a registered, practicing
parishioner, your children are eligible for enrollment at an “in-parish” rate. (“Practicing” parishioners are Catholics who
consistently attend Mass, send their children to Religious Education or Catholic school, and support their parish with time, talent,
and treasure. This is an on-going expectation during years of enrollment at CJB. Use of parish envelopes is expected.)

Donations Needed for - CONFIRMATION SERVICE PROJECT
St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr Religious Education Program and Cardinal Bernardin School - 7th Graders are
preparing for a service project to benefit PADS, and Illinois Veterans Home-Manteno, St. Leo Campus for Veterans ( 7750 S. Emerald, Chicago, IL). This project will involve the gathering of travel size toiletries and other
easily carried personal essentials for the guests at the listed locations.
Most items can be purchased for a dollar at the Dollar Store, Walgreens and Target, etc. The list below shows
some of the items we gathered last year in a similar and very successfully rewarding project. Once gathered, the
7th grade students will meet in February to package the items for delivery by Deacon Bill and Pete.
You don’t need to have a 7th grader to donate and we don’t expect each giver to provide all the items on the list. Any amount you are
able to donate will be greatly appreciated. Please bring the items in a bag marked “Service project” and leave them in the narthex
during the month of January after Mass. We would like to make at least 75 bags for the project.
Our children will meet on February 8th to sort and package the items for delivery.

Spiritual Adoption Program to Begin in January
Pray for an Unborn Baby
January 22nd marks the 42nd anniversary of Roe vs Wade, a decision that legalized abortion.
Here's a way to honor the memory of 56,000,000 unborn babies.
Everyone loves the beauty and innocence
of a baby. As an expression of that love St.
Stephen’s will again begin an adoption
program on weekend of January 17 & 18,
2015. We will have an opportunity to
Spiritually Adopt a child who is newly
conceived.
You are asked to name the child you
adopt and will be praying for - thereby
giving the baby the humanity he or she
deserves. You choose the name! Then,
please pray for this unborn child and for
all unborn children - the power of prayer
is GREAT!
Not all newly conceived babies are
allowed to be born. In fact, more than
4,000 babies lose their lives to abortion
each day. It is these babies you are being
asked to Adopt. You may adopt a child
individually or as a family by signing up to
participate.
Each month we will report in the bulletin
the baby’s development from conception
this month and in nine (9) months their
birth. My brothers and sisters there are
millions of unborn babies desperately in
need of your prayers. Won’t you please
Spiritually Adopt one and share the love
for life that God has given you? You can
use the form below, fill it out, tear off
the right side and drop it in the box in
the narthex. You keep the left side
that contains the prayer, and information
for you and your family.
Next October we will sponsor a “baby
shower” for all the children spiritually
adopted and all things gathered will be
donated to the crisis pregnancy center.

By móc, trzeba chcieć. By słyszeć, trzeba słuchać
Zawsze nas ciekawi i będzie ciekawić to, co nas czeka. Niektórzy uciekają się do złych sposobów uzyskania tej wiedzy
(wróżki, horoskopy itp.). My, chrześcijanie, mamy inną możliwość – wejrzenie w przyszłość, nie tę doczesną, ale tę
wieczną, umożliwia nam wspaniały przewodnik, jakim jest Pismo Święte. Wnioski wysnuć możemy praktycznie po
każdym, nie tylko niedzielnym, słuchaniu czytań. Zaś dzisiejsze czytania są wyjątkowo jasnym przekazem tego, co Pan
nam obwieszcza o naszej przeszłości, przyszłości i teraźniejszości.
Tłumaczy nam, jak słuchać, jak słyszeć, jak postrzegać nie tylko słowo Pana, ale i Jego osobę. Jak wyciągać właściwe
wnioski ze słów płynących z czytań i Ewangelii, wreszcie jak być posłusznym i otwartym na wołanie. Wołanie Tego,
Kto wie, jak i kiedy nas powołać, i Kto wie, kim lub czym byliśmy, jesteśmy i będziemy. Za szybko? Zbyt wiele słów,
które niewiele nam mówią? Może po kolei. Przykład Samuela wołanego przez Pana, Samuela, który „jeszcze nie znał
Pana, a słowo Pańskie nie było mu jeszcze objawione...” (1 Sm 3,7), obrazuje nas, którzy słyszymy wołanie Pana, ale
jeszcze nie jesteśmy gotowi na nie odpowiedzieć. Musimy dopiero zrozumieć i wsłuchać się w wołanie, aby potem być
gotowymi na przyjęcie Słowa Pańskiego, na to, by Pan był z nami i „Nie pozwolił upaść żadnemu jego słowu na
ziemię.” (1 Sm 3,19).
Musimy być gotowi na przyjęcie Słowa, ale również na spełnienie tego, czego od nas Pan oczekuje. A czego, zapytacie?
Oczekuje od nas wiedzy o tym, kim jesteśmy, mówi nam, „czyż nie wiecie, że ciało wasze jest świątynią Ducha
Świętego, który w was jest, a którego macie od Boga, i że już nie należycie do samych siebie? Za [wielką] bowiem cenę
zostaliście nabyci. Chwalcie więc Boga w waszym ciele!” (1 Kor 6, 19-20). Mówi nam, iż nasze ciało to świątynia Pana,
to dom, w którym mieszka Bóg, uświadamia nam również to, że Jego śmierć na krzyżu spowodowała, że jesteśmy Jego
własnością, Jego domem, Jego Kościołem. Jeżeli to zrozumiemy, łatwiej będzie nam kroczyć przez życie doczesne,
zmierzając ku wieczności.
Aby wiedzieć, jak postępować, mamy brać za wzór tych, którzy jako pierwsi zostali powołani do służby Pana, którzy
bez ociągania porzucili doczesność, zgadzając się na wszystko, łącznie ze zmianą imienia, którzy pozostali wiernymi do
ostatniej chwili życia. Najlepszym tego przykładem jest święty Piotr, który usłyszał od Pana: „«Ty jesteś Szymon, syn
Jana, ty będziesz nazywał się Kefas» – to znaczy: Piotr.” (J 1, 42). Zrozumiał i przyjął na swoje barki to, co mu Jezus
przeznaczył, czyli prowadzenie całej owczarni, jaką jesteśmy my wszyscy. Wiem, że nie jest łatwo rzucić wszystko dla
Niego i podążać Jego drogami. Ale i my w dzisiejszych – jakże ciekawych – czasach mamy możliwości podążania za
Panem mimo naszych obowiązków, mimo różnych spraw doczesnych, które nas krępują niewidzialnymi nićmi. Na tych,
którzy pozwolą sobie na usłyszenie wołania, na bycie świątynią Pana, wreszcie na podążanie Jego drogą, czeka
niespodzianka nie tylko w wieczności, ale i tutaj, na ziemi: to Błogosławieństwo, mądrość i miłość, które pomagają
nam w każdej chwili naszego bytowania.Panie daj mi umiejętność usłyszenia Twojego wołania, bym podążał Twoją
drogą, drogą miłości i sprawiedliwości, którą Ty Jesteś.
