Pastor’s Corner by Fr. Joe Noonan
It never fails at this time of year that some in TV,
the media, and even aggressive non-Catholics will
try to chip away at our Catholic belief in Jesus'
Passion, Death and Resurrection. As Catholics, one
of our most powerful symbols of our faith is the
Crucifix, the image of Christ hung on a cross. The
Crucifix is not a trivial symbol nor evidence of a
morbid preoccupation with Christ's death. Rather,
the Crucifix reminds us Jesus so loved each person
and the entire human race that he freely chose this
path to our salvation.
The Cross and the Crucifix are equal in value as
symbols for Catholics. Both remind us of the
transformation of a sign of torture to a sign of
salvation for all mankind.
When we participate in the Mass, we are present
at Calvary and the tomb. From the Passion to the
Resurrection. Thus, the Crucifix intimately reminds
us of this amazing and startling fact. If you do not
have a cross or crucifix in your home, perhaps you
should buy one. Display it to remind you and all in
your home how much Christ loves you.
Many Catholics and non-Catholics also wear or
display a simple cross. In wearing a cross, they
identify themselves as disciples of Jesus. It
reminds them of Jesus' love by taking up a cross to
die for us. When draped in a white cloth it is a
symbol of the Resurrection.
Many Protestants understand and respect our use
of the Crucifix. Unfortunately, with the significant
splintering of Christianity, some ministers preach a
criticism of the Crucifix as a symbol. They direct
their congregations to not wear or display a
crucifix. They proclaim, "Jesus is risen" and is not
still dead on the Cross. This distinction, along with
numerous misrepresentations of Catholic doctrine
on Baptism, the Eucharist, the Papacy, etc., is their
attempt to chip away at Catholicism and to hold
onto the ex-Catholics in their churches.
I have worn and own both crosses and crucifixes.
Catholics find them both exemplary symbols of
Jesus' love. But for argument's sake, is a cross
superior to a crucifix in symbolizing the
Resurrection? Actually no. The Cross was a
nasty symbol of a torturous death that no early
Christian would have perceived as a reminder of
the Resurrection. Jesus rose from a tomb. An
empty tomb represents the Resurrection. He was
dead when taken down from the Cross. The
bloodied Cross stood empty for more than two
days before the Resurrection on Easter morning.

Feast of Divine Mercy
Prayer Service
Sunday April 12, 2015
2:30 pm in the Church
Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a very special day
when "all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are
opened." (Diary 699) Our Lord made a great promise to all those souls
who would go to Confession and then receive Him in Holy Communion on
the Feast of Mercy, the Sunday after Easter, which is now called Divine
Mercy Sunday throughout the Catholic Church.
We want to encourage everyone to take advantage of this incredible promise
and the additional Plenary Indulgence on this great Feast of Mercy, "Divine
Mercy Sunday." We want you to benefit fully from these promises, and we
also want you to notify all of your family and friends about them, too, and
urge them to return to the practice of their faith!
The Image of The Divine Mercy, which Our Lord requested to be solemnly
blessed and venerated on this day, will be on display in our church. Pope
John Paul II said that the image portrays the Risen Jesus Christ bringing
Mercy to the whole world. Our Lord said "I want the image to be
solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to
be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it.
I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not
perish." (Diary 341, 48) Please take the time to visit with this Image of The
Divine Mercy and venerate Jesus. The Divine Mercy chaplet will be prayed
at 3:00 pm. This is not a Mass; it is a prayer service.
Life Teen is open to all high school teens of our
parish. Come enjoy the 5pm Mass every Sunday
night followed by food (usually pizza!) in Shaw
Hall. During our Life Nights we can take a deeper
look at scripture, learn something new about our
faith,discuss a current "hot topic," or play some
crazy games!Our upcoming schedule:

The “Building Blocks” of parish life are the core foundation through which they
carry out the mission and ministry of Christ and grow in his likeness.
Your Parish Transformation team continues to peer through the glass of parish life to see “what works” and what areas we
can improve upon. We were asked to review 3 areas: Evangelization, Catechesis, Pray and Worship – 3 of the 7 “Building
Blocks” of parish life. Perhaps some of our insights and recommendations resonate with you.
EVANGELIZATION
What form/area of evangelization does our parish do well? Teen programs, Christ Renews His
Parish, Post cards, provide resources – pamphlets and books in narthex, etc.
How am I called to go beyond my comfort zone to share and pass on my faith? Having signs in our home, e.g. pictures,
statues, keeping reading material on coffee table, saying grace before meals at a restaurant, praying the rosary silently
when using public transportation, saying “God bless you” to clerks at the store or drive thru, witness.
How are we called as a parish to go beyond our comfort zone to share and pass on our faith? Continue post card mailings
listing mass times, special events, personal invitation, invite our sharing parish to mass or events, hosting masses in the
home and inviting neighbors, having block captains go door to door, parent’s night, intercessory prayer – dividing map of
Oak Forest and designating areas to receive daily prayer.
CATECHESIS
What has been the most effective in my life for learning the faith of the Church? Family and parents,
Cursillo, Christ Renews His Parish, Religious Ed, School, small groups and community, faith sharing, educated homilies,
visible witness for Christ, teaching our kids, altar servers, mentoring, Bible studies, “faith is caught, not taught”.
How strong are our catechetical efforts in our parish? Are they helping bring all of us closer to Christ? Prayer group,
retreats, missions, Men’s breakfasts/spirituality group, Teen ministry, need to re-teach parishioners the basics of
Catholicism, need for improvement, speakers, teach what the mass is, School and Religious Ed, many of the parents are
uninvolved, use the Teen ministry to mentor 3rd & 4th grade students.
What form/area of Catechesis does our parish do well? Catholics Returning Home, Religious Ed, Christ Renews His Parish,
Bible Study, lots of opportunities to learn, but if they don’t know what they’re missing it’s lost.
What form/area of Catechesis could we improve on? Too many parents drop off their kids and do not go to mass, educate
the parents, combine Religious Ed and School to include teaching for the students AND their parents.
PRAYER AND WORSHIP
If someone who hasn’t come to Mass in years came to our parish for Sunday Mass, what
would they see and experience? Welcoming, smiling faces of greeters, Fr. Joe’s greeting, a lot of men in church as opposed
to other churches, altar girl servers, deacons doing homilies, conversation before mass in narthex, participation in the
liturgy, familial environment, socialization beforehand, reverence, music that encourages participation, quiet playing at
communion meditation, young families, teenagers as Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers.
What form/area of Prayer & Worship could we improve on? Social issues have permeated into our church, leads to
confusion, we need to hear more truth about our faith from the pulpit, more catechesis needed, Fr. Scanlan used to explain
parts of the mass before reciting it without making it evident, explain components of liturgy.
We meet on Wednesdays, 7:00pm in Shaw Hall. JOIN US! Bring a friend.
