Our Parish Mission
Liturgy Schedule
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
Dear People of St. Stephen,
Congratulations to the young people
of our parish who received the
sacrament of Confirmation from
Bishop Wypych this Saturday.
Special thanks to Mrs. Pazin, our
DRE
who
coordinated
the
preparation and celebration, to our
religious education staff and the staff
at Cardinal Bernardin School who
prepared our young people, to our
music ministry and all who assisted
at the liturgies, to the parents and
sponsors who have guided our young
people in their growth in faith, and to
all who helped to prepare for the
celebration. We pray that our young
people will continually draw upon
the gifts of the Holy Spirit given in
this sacrament and will always be
committed to living faith in Jesus
Christ.
I have many emotions as I report to
you that Mary Jeanne Pazin, our
Director of Religious Education, will
begin a well-earned retirement at the
end of this school year. I am first of
all grateful to Mary Jeanne for the
great work that she has done over the
years here at St. Stephen. She served
two years as our DRE as the parish
began,
leading
our
religious
education program as we worked out
of Andrew High School, and has
served as DRE for the past nine
years. Mary Jeanne directs a program
that provides religious education for
nearly 1500 children in grades one
through eight and coordinates our
sacramental preparation programs,
our Family Mass program, our grade
level Masses, our Children’s Liturgy
of the Word, and our cooperation in
religious education with Cardinal
Bernardin School. She is a joy to
work with for both our staff and the
many volunteers needed to run our
programs. Our parish has been
blessed by her dedicated work - both
her creative work and her
organizational work - over the years.
I am very happy for Mary Jeanne that
she will have the opportunity to
enjoy more time with her husband,
children, and grandchildren. She
surely deserves the chance for
relaxation and new activities that
retirement offers. I and so many
others feel a sadness because we will
miss her regular presence with us,
but we are blessed that she and her
husband will continue to be part of
St. Stephen as active parishioners.
We are planning a retirement
celebration for Mary Jeanne near the
end of the school year. Details will
be forthcoming. We have also
formed a search committee and have
begun the process of identifying her
successor.
The first few words of today’s first
reading, the presentation of the 10
Commandments in the book of
Exodus, proclaim the most basic
attitude of people of faith: “I am the
Lord your God.” If we accept those
words, we accept the foundation of
our faith. The first commandment of
the 10 Commandments given to
Moses, “I am the Lord your God; you
shall not have strange gods before
me,” and the first of Jesus’ two great
commandments, “you shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength,” are
the foundation of our Catholic faith.
We proclaim that our God, the God
revealed in Jesus, is Lord of all. That
may seem basic and obvious. As I
grew up, this was the one
commandment
of
the
10
Commandments that I never feared
that I would break. There were no
“idols” or “pagan gods” on the
southwest side of Chicago as there
were among the people around the
ancient Israelites. As I have grown
older, I have come to see this as the
core commandment. If I accept God
as Lord, the God of all the universe
and the one who gave His life for us,
that God should be at the center of
my life. My choices should always
consider the question “what does
God want me to do?” The challenge
in life today is that, with the hectic
pace of life, God can easily slip into
the background of our lives. God can
easily get lost as people are engaged
in all sorts of activities. I hear too
often “I believe in God, but I don’t
have time for regular worship or
prayer.” Any number of things can
become the center of our lives – our
“idols”, if you will – things that
become more important than
anything else. The challenge of living
the 10 Commandments and Jesus’
Law of Love demands that we keep
the Lord central to our lives. We
know that Jesus walks with us. He is
with us always, no matter what our
response to Him. Lent calls us to
open our hearts to the Lord and to
allow Christ to transform our lives.
May this Lent help all of us to affirm
Jesus as Lord by the way we live
each day.
I want to thank the CC Boyle
Council of the Knights of Columbus
for their generous donation of $1,084
for our religious education efforts for
children with special needs. The
Tootsie Roll sale that the Knights of
Columbus held at our church last
August is among the fundraising
efforts used by the Knights to support
many programs for children with
special needs. It is another example
of the great work done by the
Knights of Columbus. I thank them
for their generosity to St. Stephen
and for all they do for our
communities.
Finally, I invite everyone to join us
for the St. Joseph day dinner next
Saturday evening. It is always a very
good dinner at a very reasonable
price and a very enjoyable evening
for everyone. Thank you to the
Men’s Club for their efforts to
organize the dinner.
May God bless you and your loved
ones.

The Gift of the Kingdom
Kingdom Retreat 2015
The Kingdom Weekend is a spiritually uplifting gift you
give to yourself. This is a special time when you get to
leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life and renew,
recharge and strengthen your relationship with our Lord.
People just like you will share their faith journeys with
the group in an intimate setting. During the weekend
you will enjoy fellowship, personal reflection time,
prayer services, faith sharing and Mass. There is no
pressure on any of the participants to speak. You can
share as little or as much as you want during the
weekend. Many past participants have come out of the
weekend saying that it was life-changing for them.
Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22
One of our current team members, Joe Hoffman says,
“Need a change? Twenty years ago, my wife Joan came
back from a Kingdom Weekend beaming from ear to ear.
Curiosity got to me! The following year, I attended the
Kingdom Weekend and my life has never been the same
since. Do you need a change of some kind? Join us on
Saturday, March 21 & Sunday, March 22 and experience
your change. Looking forward to seeing you in the
Kingdom!
My personal story is that I kept putting off going to
Kingdom each year because I thought I was always too
busy to give up an entire weekend. And was I ever
wrong! In 2012, at the last minute, I decided it was time
to attend. And that was one of the best decisions of my
life. I actually think it was the Holy Spirit who nudged
me to make the decision. I was definitely spiritually
renewed, exhilarated and reawakened to Christ in my
life. Another benefit was the wonderful people I met
who are dear friends to this day. I want to personally
invite each of you to make this the year you experience
that “Kingdom Spirit.” (Barbara Black- Kingdom
Weekend Lay Leader )
Praise Band
The Praise Band will lead the music at the 11:30 Mass next
Sunday, March 15 and the following Sunday , March 22.
The Kingdom Retreat is a great way for the adults of our
community to renew and strengthen their relationship
with God. It also allows you to reflect on your life
priorities. You can get to know some fellow St. Stephen
members. This retreat gives you time to pray, worship
and participate in group activities. The registration fee is
$10. There is no set cost for the retreat, but a free-will
donation will be asked at the end of the retreat. There
are sign up forms in the narthex and in the parish office.
Please return the sign up form to the parish office and
mark your envelope “Kingdom Retreat”. Over the years
the Kingdom Retreat has been a renewing weekend for
many parishioners of all ages. It is a special time to
reflect, pray and spend time with the Lord. If you have
any questions about the Kingdom retreat, please call Fr.
Jay or Karen Opyd in the parish office.

You arrive at 7:45am on Saturday; the retreat ends
mid-afternoon on Sunday.

This is not an overnight retreat.

Mass Honoring St. Patrick
Men’s Club St. Joseph Day Dinner
Next Sunday at the 8:30am Mass we will
honor St. Patrick and the blessing he brought
to the Church as the patron saint of Ireland.
Symbols from the Irish faith tradition will be
used at the Mass. The prayer below, from
St. Patrick around 461, shows how well the
saint fits into our renewal of faith in Jesus
each Lent.
Christ, Be With Me
Christ, be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ were I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of every one who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Lord,
Salvation is of the Christ.

Sedan! Net proceeds from the raffle and event will be
distributed evenly among our SVdP Districts in Cook and
Lake counties to grow our impact on those who come to us
for help. But first, we desperately need your help in order for
us to meet our fundraising goal of $100,000. Please consider
buying at least one raffle ticket for $25. You may never know
their names, but your contribution will help provide food,
assistance with electricity and heat, and much-needed
clothing and shoes for families in need. And remember, you
may win a new car! You can purchase raffle and event tickets
right now at svdpbenefit.org.

planning on the 3rd Thursday each month in room 125 of

Serving God’s Word to Those Who Have Served
We pray for our troops every week for their success and
protection and for their recovery from any wounds, physical
or emotional, that they have received from their service, no
matter which conflict they have served in. You must be
committed to the health of our veterans. We can help all
servicemen and women who have difficulty transitioning to
civilian life. If you are a veteran, know a veteran or are a
family member of a veteran having difficulty transitioning
to civilian life or needs VA care or simply someone to talk
to, please consider giving me a call at the parish office at
708-342-2400. - Deacon Pete Van Merkestyn

St. Alexander Parish Hosts “Sacred Cloths”
A presentation on the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium
of Oviedo on Wednesday, March 11th at 7:00 PM. Faith
Based Communications Shroud presentation entitled,
"Sacred Cloths" deals with both the Shroud of Turin and
the Sudarium of Oviedo. It takes the audience through the
history of each cloth, the scientific analyses that have
been done, current data that refutes the dating of the
Shroud. The inability to explain the mechanism by which
the image on the Shroud was created is also explored,
along with the unique photo-negative and 3D
characteristics of the image. Finally, the link between the
two cloths having been in contact with the same crucified
person, and its implications are examined. Exhibit
materials include full size Shroud images (both positive
and negative), as well as crown of thorns, crucifixion
nails, flagellum (whip), biblical coins. The presentation
runs 70-80 minutes. For more information, please contact
St. Alexander located at 7025 W. 126th St in Palos
Heights, IL 708-448-4861.

Nakazy, obowiązki, prawa
Dane jest nam prawo do życia, dane jest też prawo do zawiadywania tym, co na naszym skrawku ziemi ma
nam służyć, w sensie dosłownym i w przenośni. Równocześnie mamy jednak obowiązek takiego
zawiadywania dobrem, by służyło ono nie tylko nam, lecz również tym, którzy przyjdą po nas, aby to, co
pozostawimy w spuściźnie, nie było ugorem, materiałem do wymiany, ale by innym służyło w należyty
sposób.
Liturgia Słowa na III Niedzielę Wielkiego Postu przekazuje nam słowa skierowane przez Boga do ludu
Izraela, słowa o obowiązkach i prawach. Dowiadujemy się, co powinniśmy jako chrześcijanie robić, jak
działać, kierując się miłością nie tylko do bliźniego, do rodziny, ale przede wszystkim do Boga, „ponieważ Ja
Pan, twój Bóg, jestem Bogiem zazdrosnym, który karze występek ojców na synach do trzeciego i czwartego
pokolenia względem tych, którzy Mnie nienawidzą. Okazuję zaś łaskę aż do tysiącznego pokolenia tym,
którzy Mnie miłują i przestrzegają moich przykazań.” (Wj 20, 5-7).
Czy można powiedzieć o Bogu, że jest zazdrosny? Popatrzmy na to na sposób ludzki, a zrozumiemy słowa
Boga, który jest naszym Ojcem, zrozumiemy Jezusa, który się denerwuje, widząc w świątyni kupców.
Oczywiste, że postęp nauki, technologii i techniki zmienił nasz sposób myślenia, a to z kolei jest przyczyną,
iż inaczej rozumiemy słowa kierowane do nas sprzed 2000 lat. Jednak żyjąc w dobie prosperity technicznej,
myśli nowoczesnej, mając do dyspozycji nowinki medialne, dobrze jest mieć okazję powrotu do źródeł, które
pozwalają nam zastanowić się nad prawdą o Tym, który nas stworzył na obraz i podobieństwo Swoje,
podobieństwo duchowe, nie cielesne. Mając w okresie Wielkiego Postu okazję do chwil zadumy, możemy
popatrzeć na słowa Boga Ojca przez pryzmat odczuć ludzkich, a wtedy nietrudno będzie zrozumieć, czego od
nas chce Bóg. A Bóg tylko i wyłącznie pragnie naszego powrotu do Niego, na wyżyny niebieskie, gdzie
widząc Majestat Boży, będziemy wychwalać Go razem z chórami anielskimi.
Człowiek, to brzmi dumnie – slogan to czy prawda? Każdy z nas ma na ten temat inne zdanie, każdy z nas
również inaczej pojmuje te słowa. A może stwórzmy nowy slogan: „Chrześcijanin, to brzmi dumnie” –
powtarzajmy go, przeplatając z modlitwą o zrozumienie. Powtarzajmy go nie tylko w czasie Wielkiego Postu,
niech stanie się naszym zawołaniem w przededniu ogłoszenia Liturgicznego Roku Wiary (Papież Benedykt
XVI postanowił ogłosić Rok Wiary, który rozpocznie się „11 października 2012 r., w pięćdziesiątą rocznicę
otwarcia Soboru Watykańskiego II, a zakończy się w uroczystość Naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa Króla
Wszechświata, 24 listopada 2013 roku).
Panie, pomóż nam zrozumieć Twoje Słowa, Twoje nakazy, abyśmy z łaską Ducha Świętego umieli
zrozumieć i przyjąć Twoją Miłość i Dobro, byśmy zawsze podążali drogą Chrystusa.

And for all for whom our parish
is asked to pray
To help keep the list of names read at Mass and
placed in the bulletin accurate and current, we
will keep the name of a non-parishioner who is
an immediate family member of our parishioner
on the list at Mass for two weeks and in the
bulletin for two weeks. For a parishioner, we
will keep the name on the list at Mass for four
weeks and in the bulletin for 60 days. We ask
that an immediate family member call after 4
weeks if you wish to have the name continued to
be read at Mass.
