From the Pastor

St. Colette School…

Beloved St. Colette parishioners, By now you must have learned from the media and fellow parishioners that St. Colette School will effectively close on June 30, 2020. Whereas much of the facts about the closing have been addressed over time, this comes to us as a formal pronouncement. Dr. Jim Riggs, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Chicago, stated, “The Closure of St. Colette School has been a big question for several months”. “We have been speaking about the financial tension and strain being felt at St. Colette School for some time”. “The Archdiocese has been helping St. Colette School with financial assistance”. “Unfortunately, the target was not met for the Fund Raising this year even though there were many here that were working hard on this effort”. “ The Fund Raising was insufficient”. “I must announce to you that at the end of this school year St. Colette School must close.” Dr. Riggs shared that the needs of teachers regarding their benefits and employment placement will be met. Additionally, the students and their parents will be given resources and information necessary for them to transfer to other Catholic Schools of their choice. St. Colette School has been a major component of our parish life. Generations have gone through the doors of our school. Many personal stories are being told and many resumes have St. Colette School mentioned in them. It is part of our legacy. Obviously, there are mixed feelings that involve both present and past generations. For several years now, commitment from St. Colette parishioners to the school has remained fervent, donors from within and from outside the parish have shown strong belief on the Catholic education, identity and values. That support will never go unnoticed. Moving forward, we must embrace this new reality. Scholarships for the children will be directed to schools they will choose to proceed to. The Principal, Mr. Joseph Quinlan, intends to organize efforts to see to it that the children present in the school have a rewarding rest of the school year. Positive support may involve asking the parishioners to volunteer and offer their advice and service. It is all geared to leave a positive impact honoring the legacy embedded in those corridors. May we all work together, pray and assist in a positive way as we move through this transition. St. Colette, pray for us.

Del Párroco

Escuela St. Colette ...

Amados feligreses de St. Colette, A estas alturas ya debe haber aprendido de los medios y compañeros feligreses que la Escuela St. Colette efectivamente cerrara el 30 de junio de 2020. Mientras que muchos de los hechos sobre el cierre se han abordado a través del tiempo, esto nos llega como un pronunciamiento formal. El Dr. Jim Riggs, el Superintendente de Escuelas Católicas de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago, declaró: "El cierre de la escuela St. Colette ha sido una gran pregunta durante varios meses". "Hemos estado hablando sobre la tensión financiera y la presión que se ha sentido en la Escuela St. Colette por algún tiempo ”. "La Arquidiócesis ha estado ayudando a la Escuela St. Colette con asistencia financiera". "Desafortunadamente, el objetivo no se cumplió para la recaudación de fondos este año a pesar de que había muchos que estaban trabajando duro en este esfuerzo". "La recaudación de fondos fue insuficiente". "Debo anunciarles que al final de este año escolar, la Escuela St. Colette debe cerrar". El Dr. Riggs compartió que se satisfarán las necesidades de los maestros con respecto a sus beneficios y colocación laboral. Además, los estudiantes y sus padres recibirán los recursos y la información necesaria para que puedan transferirse a otras escuelas católicas de su elección. La escuela St. Colette ha sido un componente importante de nuestra vida parroquial. Generaciones han pasado por las puertas de nuestra escuela. Se cuentan muchas historias personales y muchos currículos mencionan a la Escuela St. Colette. Es parte de nuestro legado. Obviamente, hay sentimientos mixtos que involucran tanto la presente como las pasadas generaciones. Desde hace varios años, el compromiso de los feligreses de St. Colette con la escuela se ha mantenido ferviente, los donantes de dentro y de fuera de la parroquia han mostrado una fuerte creencia en la educación, la identidad y los valores católicos. Ese apoyo nunca pasará desapercibido. En el futuro, debemos abrazar esta nueva realidad. Las becas para los niños serán dirigidas a las escuelas a las que optarán. El director, El Sr. Joseph Quinlan, tiene la intención de organizar esfuerzos para asegurarse de que los niños presentes en la escuela tengan un resto del año escolar gratificante. El apoyo positivo puede implicar pedirles a los feligreses que sean voluntarios y ofrecer su asesoramiento y servicio. Todo está orientado a dejar un impacto positivo en honor al legado incrustado en esos corredores. Que todos trabajemos juntos, oremos y ayudemos de manera positiva a medida que avanzamos en esta transición. Santa Colette, ruega por nosotros.

Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America. For many in Latin America and the Caribbean, a rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers all present obstacles to practicing the faith. Your support for the collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis, priestly and reli-gious formation, and other programs to share our Catholic faith with those who long to hear the Good News of Christ. To learn more about how your gifts make a difference, visit www.usccb.org/latin-america. La próxima semana realizaremos la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina. Para muchos en América Latina y el Caribe, el incremento de una cultura secular, la dificultad que presentan los terrenos rurales y la escasez de ministros, son unos obstáculos para practicar su fe. Su apoyo a la Colecta proporciona capacitación para el liderazgo laico, la catequesis, la formación para sacerdotes y religiosos y otros programas para compartir nuestra fe católica con aquellos que anhelan escuchar la Buena Nueva de Cristo. Para informarse más sobre cómo sus donativos hacen una diferencia, visiten www.usccb.org/latin-america.
