Dear Family,This weekend, we kick off our 2013 Diocese of Joliet Catholic
Ministries Annual Appeal The Lord Sustains His People.
Our parish goal is $67, 516. The money we raise in the coming
weeks supports all personnel, agencies and programs the
Diocese offers to some 700,000 Catholics in Joliet area. I thank you on
behalf of the Bishop and the thousands of people that will directly benefit
from your generosity.
I am so thankful for the overwhelming support that you give me and our
parish for caring for those we serve with love and compassion. We do this
because we are a family. I ask each of you to pass on that family support
to the family of our Diocese. We are each called to serve and sustain one
another. Thank you, once again, for serving Gods people here and in the
Diocese of Joliet.
In the Lords Love,
Fr. Jim Curtin

Through the Sacraments of Initiation
Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharistwebecome part of the Church, the Body of
Christ. As such, we are called to holiness
to live as disciples of Christ. As Stewards of
Gods creation, we celebrate His Presence in
the Eucharist offered in reparation for the sins
of the living and the dead (CCC1414) and look
with hope to Christ'spledge of glory with him
(1419).
Holy Communion separates us from sin.
The body of Christ we receive in Holy
Communion is given up for us, and theblood we drink shed for the many for theforgiveness of sins. For this reason theEucharist cannot unite us to Christ with-
out at the same time cleansing us from
past sins and preserving us from future
sins. (CCC, n. 1393)
Walking With Faith Cross
For we walk by faith, not by sight
2 Corinthians 5:7
We would like to introduce the Walking With Faith Cross. It has
the same concept as the Giving Tree at Christmas, but only shoes are
purchased for those in need and they do not need to be wrapped.
Please attach the tag that you take from the cross to the shoes you
purchase and place them under the cross. The shoes will benefit
those at the Daybreak Shelter, Lambs Fold, Vilaseca Day Care
Center and the Guardian Angel Home. All shoes must be placed
under the Walking With Faith Cross by Sunday, March 24th.
As always, thank you for your generosity and support
to those in need this Lenten season.
