BLOSSOMS AND FRUIT...
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will
vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
—Walter Scott
D
ear friends in Sacred Heart:
We are close to celebrating the Resurrection of the Lord. I keep inviting you to celebrate your Lent with a contrite heart and prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Remember this is
a time for change in our lives, so let’s make these days count in our life.
One of the most beautiful sacraments we have is the Sacrament of Penance in order to feel
God’s love and forgiveness. After your confession, the priest offers what is called a “penance,”
usually a prayer or action. It is nothing severe or difficult to do. But don’t think that it is of little
importance. In fact, it’s very important!
The penance is a small way to begin to repair the damage of sin. We confess our sins, and we receive absolution; the
forgiveness of those sins. Still, the residue or consequences of sin remain. If we have been unjust or unkind, we need to
repair the damage. If we have succumbed to habits that diminish us, we need to repair the damage. If we have ignored
the needs of others, we need to repair the damage. The penance reminds us that a converted and forgiven heart will
claim responsibility and then move forward. The penance may be a short prayer or a small action, but do not underestimate its value!
In a different topic; I just want to mention that every year for these months of February or March, the Priest Placement Board in the Archdiocese of Chicago has a meeting to review the parishes which are in need of a Pastor. As you
already know, my time as Administrator in Sacred Heart Parish concludes this coming June, so decisions need to be
made soon for the good of the Parish. Please keep Sacred Heart in your prayers so the decision may be made for the
good of the community. I will let you know if we receive any notifications from the Archdiocese regarding this manner.

Peace to all

What it means to be a Church Parishioner?
Maybe you have asked yourself this question, why do I need to be registered in a Church Parish?
Maybe you are an immigrant and you are new to this country; there are a lot of things so different and there is too
much information out there that you need to be aware of, to really make yourself feel at home.
As baptized Catholics and children of God we are called to take care of each other, not only in words but in deeds.
Our mission is to build the Kingdom of God on earth and this is not an easy mission. But it is easier when everybody
does their part and works together! Then we can succeed! Here are some things to consider why being a registered
parishioner is so important:
 We can worship God and be thankful with Him as a big family participating at Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days!
 We can learn our faith deeply when we bring our children to the Catholic School or Religious Education Program.
 We can participate with different groups, activities and services in our parish, contributing with our time and sharing talents on behalf of our community.
 We can celebrate our Sacraments with faith and reverence.
 We can receive pastoral care and spiritual support when is needed.
Being a registered Parishioner is also for your own help, not only before God but also before your civil authorities.
How does it work? When you are registered in a Church Parish your financial support and contributions you make every
Sunday can be recorded in the parish file when you use your personal envelopes. Your support to your parish turns you
into an “Active Parishioner” (it helps your Pastor to identify easily if you are attending your Sunday Masses and supporting your Church community).
This STATUS can be extremely helpful when you are in need of:
 A Recommendation Letter to get a new job or to register your children into school.
 When somebody asks you to be sponsor or godparent for a child receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation
or First Communion.
 When you want to baptize in another church and you need the authorization from your home Parish.
 When you are requested by the Court to present a Letter of good standing to the Judge.
 You can also present the record of your support and contributions for Tax purposes every year; they are tax deductible.
The use of envelopes are VERY important for our Church in order to give you better support in case you need it. Unfortunately if we have no records in our system, we can’t serve you as we would like and as you deserve. At the same
time YOU need to know that ALL of YOUR personal information is confidential and will NOT be given out or shared
with any third parties. We are all called to be good stewards…..
GET REGISTRED, PRAISE THE LORD and HELP YOUR CHURCH COMMUNITY!
PARISHIONER REGISTRATION WEEKENDS Sundays in March at all Masses!!!
SOUP & BREAD & STATIONS OF
THE CROSS:
We all will join for “Stations of the
Cross” in the Church at 6:00pm in English & at 7:00pm in Spanish.
We will be serving Soup & Bread on Fridays during Lent at 6:30pm in the Marian Hall. We
may be able to skip a meal & experience
hunger & thirst in the world. One way to
observe Lent.
This week we will take up a
Collection for the Church in
Central and Eastern Europe.
This collection supports Catholic organizations that provide
affordable shelter and train
seminarians in a region that still struggles from the effects
of Soviet rule. By providing pastoral care, catechesis, and
funding for building renovations, your donations help to
restore the Church and build the future in the region.
Please five generously to the collection this week.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Whole Church
O Glorious St. Joseph, you were chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, the most pure spouse
of Mary, ever Virgin, and the head of the Holy Family. You have been chosen by Christ’s Vicar as the
heavenly Patron and Protector of the Church founded by Christ. Protect the Sovereign Pontiff and all
bishops united with him. Be the protector of all who labor for souls amid the trials and tribulations of
this life; and grant that all peoples of the world may be docile to the Church without which there is no
salvation.
Dear St. Joseph, accept the offering I make to you. Be my father, protector, and guide in the way of
salvation. Obtain for me purity of heart and a love for the spiritual life. After your example, let all my
actions be directed to the greater glory in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of
Mary, and your own paternal heart. Finally, pray for me that I may share in the peace and joy of your
holy death. Amen.

hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Q ueridos
Estamos cerca de celebrar la Resurrección del Señor. Te sigo invitando a vivir esta Cuaresma
con un corazón contrito y un espíritu de oración, ayuno y desprendimiento. Recuerda que este tiempo
es para cambiar nuestras vidas, así es que hagamos que estos días cuenten!
Uno de los más hermosos sacramentos que tenemos para experimentar el amor de Dios y su perdón
es el Sacramento de la Penitencia. Después de tu confesión el sacerdote encomienda lo que se llama
“una penitencia”, generalmente una oración o una obra. No es nada severo o difícil de hacer. Pero no
debemos pensar que es de poca importancia. De hecho, es muy importante.
La penitencia es una manera simple de empezar a reparar el daño del pecado. Confesamos nuestros pecados y recibimos absolución, el perdón de estos pecados. No obstante, los residuos y las consecuencias del pecado permanecen. Si
hemos sido injustos o poco amables, debemos reparar el daño. Si hemos sucumbido a hábitos que nos disminuyen, debemos reparar el daño. Si hemos ignorado las necesidades de los demás, debemos reparar el daño. La penitencia nos recuerda que un corazón convertido y perdonado pide responsabilidad y, luego, avanza. La penitencia puede ser una breve
oración o una pequeña obra, pero no debemos subestimar su valor.
En un tema diferente; Quiero mencionar solo que cada año por estos meses de Febrero o Marzo, el Equipo de Asignación de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago tiene una junta para revisar las parroquias a las cuales hace falta párroco. Como ustedes saben, mí tiempo como Administrador del Sagrado Corazón concluye este próximo mes de Junio, por lo que hay
decisiones que tomar en la Parroquia. Te pido una oración por el Sagrado Corazón para que la decisión pueda ser tomada para el bien de la comunidad. Yo les mantendré informados si es que recibimos alguna notificación sobre este asunto.
Paz y bien
Fr. Francisco Ortega
¿Que significa ser un miembro de una parroquia?
Tal ves te has hecho esta pregunta. ¿Por qué necesito estar registrado en una Parroquia?
Tal ves seas inmigrante y nuevo en este país, y existen varias cosas diferentes y mucha información allá afuera que necesitas saber para realmente sentirte como en casa.
Como bautizado e hijos de Dios estamos llamados a cuidarnos entre nosotros mismos, no sólo en palabras sino también en
obras. Nuestra misión es construir el reino de Dios en la tierra y esta no es una misión fácil, pero se vuelve mas fácil cuando
todos hacemos nuestra parte y trabajamos juntos, entonces podremos tener éxito.
Aquí algunas cosas para considerar porque el ser un feligrés registrado a la parroquia es importante:
 Podemos adorar a Dios y ser agradecidos con El, participando cada Domingo y Fiestas como una familia.
 Podemos aprender nuestra fe, profundamente cuando traemos a nuestros hijos a una escuela católica o al programa del
catecismo.
 Podemos participar con diferentes grupos, actividades, y servicios en nuestra parroquia, contribuyendo con nuestro tiempo y compartiendo nuestro talento a favor de nuestra misma comunidad.
 Podemos celebrar nuestros sacramentos con Fe y Devoción.
 Podemos recibir cuidado pastoral y soporte espiritual cuando se necesite.
Ser un feligrés registrado a la parroquia es también para nuestra propio beneficio, no solamente ante Dios si no también ante
nuestras autoridades civiles.
Como es esto?
Cuando eres un feligrés registrado, tu ayuda financiera y contribuciones que tu haces cada domingo puede ser anotada en el
archivo parroquial al usas tus sobres personales. Tu ayuda a nuestra parroquia te convierte en un miembro “Activo” de nuestra Parroquia. (esto ayuda a tu párroco a identificar fácilmente si estas participando en tu misa dominical y ayudando a tu comunidad). Este ESTATUS puede ser ayudarte increíblemente cuando estas en necesidad de:
 Una carta de recomendación para obtener un trabajo, o para registrar a tus hijos en una escuela.
 Cuando alguien te pide ser padrino de un niño que va a recibir el sacramento del bautismo, confirmación o primera comunión.
 Cuando quieres bautizar en otra Iglesia y necesitas la autorización de tu parroquia donde vives.
 Cuando se te pide por la corte presentar una “Constancia de Buena conducta” al juez.
 También puedes presentar el comprobante de tu contribución al declarar tus impuestos cada año, ya que esta ayuda es
deducible de impuestos.
El uso de los sobres ES MUY IMPORTANTE en nuestra parroquia, para poder ayudarte mejor en caso de que lo necesites.
Desafortunadamente cuando no tenemos información en nuestro sistema, NO podemos ayudarte como a nosotros nos gustaría
y como tu lo mereces. Al mismo tiempo TU necesitas saber que TODA LA INFORMACION PERSONAL es confidencial y
nunca será dada o compartida a terceros.
Estamos llamados a ser buenos administradores. REGISTRATE, ALABA AL SEÑOR y AYUDA A TU PARROQUIA.

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 each month, please call the Rectory at 344-0757.
