To You From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Last week we celebrated two feast days that involved the powerful symbolism of the candles as
sacramentals: The feast of The Presentation of the Lord on February 2 and the feast of St. Blaise on
February 3. The feast of the Presentation is also known as the Candlemas, for the Gospel reading of this
feast speaks of Simeon in the Temple holding the baby Jesus in his arms and stating that He would be a
light for the Gentiles (cf Luke 2:32). The candle is the Church’s most fitting symbol and sacramental to
stand for Jesus as the Light of the world. On the feast of St. Blaise the priest or deacon uses two candles
in a form of a cross to touch people’s throats with them, while at the same time the following blessing is
given: "Through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease
of the throat and from every other illnesss." Then the priest or deacon makes the sign of the cross over the
faithful.
Historically, the Candlemas celebrates three occasions according to Christian long-held tradition: the
presentation of the child Jesus; Jesus’ first entry into the temple; and the Virgin Mary’s purification.
Candlemas is exactly 40 days after Christmas. According to Jewish law, the firstborn male child belonged
to God, and the parents had to present him in the Temple on the 40th day after his birth, by offering a
sacrifice of "a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons" (cf Luke 2:24). On that same day, the mother of
the child would also be ritually purified. Mary and Joseph, being devout Jews, faithfully observed this law,
even though Mary would not have had to go through ritual purification since hers was a virgin birth. While
there in the Temple, "there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel" (cf Luke 2:25) This man Simeon embraced the Child and prayed one
of the most beautiful Canticles in the Holy Bible: "Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace,
according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all peoples: a
light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel" (cf Luke 2:29-32).” Inspired by the
words of this Canticle, the tradition of blessing candles was developed in the Church on the Feast of the
Presentation. The candles are lit, and a procession takes place through the darkened church while the
Canticle of Simeon is sung. While the procession and blessing of the candles is not often performed in the
United States today, Candlemas is still an important feast in most traditionally Catholic countries.
Saint Blaise was a physician and bishop of Sebastea somewhere in the modern day Turkey. He was
described as a man of great virtue and sanctity inspiring so many by the very witness of his holy life. The
Lord gave Blaise the ability to heal people from illnesses including those considered without a cure. From
all parts, the people came flocking to him for the healing of both bodily and spiritual ills. Since Christianity
was still under Roman persecution in the time of Blaise, he was martyred by torture and beheading. The
two stories that explain the association of candles in the blessing of the throat during the Feast of Blaise
are his encounters with two women on his way to prison awaiting execution. One was a distraught mother,
whose only child was choking on a fishbone. Touched at her grief, he offered up his prayers, and the child
was cured. The other was a poor old woman whose pig had been seized by a wolf. At the command of
Blaise, the wolf restored the pig to its owner, alive and unhurt. When in prison, the grateful old woman
came to see him, bringing two fine wax candles to dispel the gloom of his dark cell.
A candle is indeed a powerful symbol that represents Christ the Light of the world. As we celebrate these
two feasts, let us pray that we may remain as faithful followers of the Lord renouncing the darkness of sin
and walking in His light. May we experience healing not only of the disease of the throat and other bodily
illnesses but of spiritual darkness as well. Let the Light of God shine through you and God bless you.
Sincerely Yours In Christ,
Fr. Burt Absalon,
Pastor

“For it is in
giving that
we receive.”
Tara has been working as the Business Manager for
St. Mary Church and School for almost nine
years. She first began her involvement at St. Mary
Parish in 2003 when she answered a request for
volunteer help with our Adult Education and Evangelization Ministry. She was our Evangelization Director for two years, before she was hired as our Business Manager.
Tara has a degree with honors from Illinois State
University in Accounting and Marketing. She is the
mother of five children (Alex, Isaac, Jordan, Matthew, and Hannah) and has been married to her
husband, Jeff, for over eighteen years. Jeff was a
graduate of St. Mary School (1984) and has returned to serve at St. Mary as our junior high math
teacher. Tara and Jeff have three children at St.
Mary School, and two at Marian Central High
School.
When Tara began her work as the Business Manager, she focused on the organization of our finances and the reduction of our parish debt which
was over $700,000. With our finances organized
and debt recently eliminated, Tara has been able to
give extra effort to her passion for evangelization,
and help lead our growing Youth Ministry program.
Tara feels extremely blessed to be able to serve our
parish community. She has always believed that
the Lord has great plans for our church and school.
In regards to her faith, she says that she constantly
desires to seek the Lord and His Will. It is in building His Kingdom that she finds joy.

Abstinence - All persons who have completed their fourteenth year are bound by the law of abstinence.
Fast - All adults are bound by the law of fast from the beginning of their nineteenth year up to the beginning
of their sixtieth year.
Explanation - The law of abstinence means that a person is bound to abstain beginning the day after one’s
fourteenth birthday. The law of fast means that adults are bound to fast from the day after their eighteenth
birthday until the end of the day of their fifty-ninth birthday.
Application - The law of abstinence forbids the eating of meat and foods prepared with meat or meat
by-products. The law of fast allows only one full meal and two lighter meals in the course of a day, and
prohibits eating between meals. In the United States, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and
abstinence. All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence only.
Exceptions - Women who are pregnant and persons who are sick are not bound by the law of fast.
On Ash Wednesday, February 18,
Masses will be offered at 7:30 am,
8:40 am, 12:05 pm, 4:00 pm, 5:30
pm, and 7:30 pm (in Spanish). We
have adjusted the usual schedule to
allow us to share Fr. Juan with Cary so
both parishes can have a Spanish Mass.
On Fridays of Lent the Church schedule will be
the following: 5:30 pm English Stations of the
Cross, 6:00—7:00 pm Lenten Suppers, and 7:00 pm
Spanish Stations of the Cross. In this way both
communities can enjoy stations of the cross in their
native language and the Lenten Suppers as well.
The suppers will be offered by various groups in our
parish so the menu will vary from week to week.
Wednesdays:
7-7:25 am English
Thursdays: 5-5:55 pm Spanish
Fridays:
8 am-8:30 am English
Saturdays:
8-8:30 am English
4-4:45 pm English
6-6:25 pm Spanish
Religious Education students will have confessions

Additionally, a Day of Forgiveness is being offered
Diocese-wide on Wednesday, March 25. Our parish
will be offering confessions on this day from 8 am –

On May 29, our chapel will have been the
center for many people, adoring Christ
around the clock, for 10 years. What a remarkable
feat for a relatively small parish. As we approach
this anniversary date, you will begin to see some
changes that we are planning. We will be freshening
up the chapel with some new paint; we will be doing
some re-upholstering and adding new carpeting and
drapes. As of last week, a new tabernacle, built by
Albert Idler and Jerry Riley was put in place and
blessed by Hans Rokus. This new tabernacle was
built to allow for the new procedures if an adorer is
unable to fulfill the hour of adoration. Adorers will
be able to temporarily close the tabernacle around
the monstrance, if another adorer is unavailable.
Instructions are in the chapel for this procedure. We
are very excited (and hope you will be too to see the
final results. May God bless all for this first decade
of prayer and adoration as we look forward to the
next decades of answered prayers.

If you have ever wanted to give back and you were
not sure when or where to do it, consider helping

the shelter is at Redeemer Lutheran in Woodstock.
If you are interested in working at the shelter, contact the organizers directly via email at
[email protected]. They serve meals and have all night
supervision for the shelter.

St. Mary Church’s St. Vincent de Paul conference would like to thank all of the generous hearts of St. Mary parishioners who
continue to make monetary or other donations to
help combat poverty in our community when all of
the other resources are exhausted. In December
alone, we received 54 requests for assistance from
individuals or families in our area. These were requests for the basics of living; food, shelter, clothing, etc. Pairs of SVdP members, called home visitors, responded to the needs of those in trouble and
took food, paper supplies, furniture, emergency
monetary aid, or sometimes just open ears to listen
and be compassionate. As Vincentians, we try to
see the face of Jesus in the people we assist, which
guides us to be good stewards of the donations that
we receive from you. Is there someone you know
who is in trouble and could use assistance from St.
Vincent de Paul? They can call us at 815-334-7711
and leave a message and we will respond to their
need. We always welcome new members to join our
ministry of service.
