My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!

Prayer for Catholic Schools Week Lord Jesus, Son of God, Thank you for the gift of Catholic education. Day after day, week after week, you call us to follow you, and you give us many opportunities to grow and learn. Help us respond to the gift of faith so that we may be recognized as your disciples. Amen. St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us! This Sunday begins National Catholic Schools Week, whose theme is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” Yes, schools are communities—small families in their own right, but also members of the larger community of home, parish, church, city and nation. As they always have and will continue to do so, across the country and here at St. Andrew, Catholic Schools evangelize — they are evangelizing communities, since faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged.

Our School Advisory Council, or School Board, under the guidance of our Catholic Schools Office, has been developing a BEST plan this year: a Business Executive Summary for Transformation Plan, which consists of three sequential steps, namely (1) Vision, Value and Mission; (2) Strategic Objective, Goals and Activities; and (3) Culture and Norms. We are seeking to bring Transformation to five particular areas: Communication, Marketing, Enrollment, Parent/Parish Involvement, and Third Source Funding in the School Budget. I am grateful and happy to report steady and consistent progress in these areas with specific objectives within each of these five categories. Along with myself and our principal, our School Advisory Council embraces these values as the foundation for a flourishing school: “We believe quality Catholic education calls us to integrate Gospel teachings and values with everyday life; while believing that all secular subjects need to be taught in the light of these values. These values are deeply rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ is the reason for our school and our community lives out our faith expressing the virtues of prudence, fortitude, charity, generosity, temperance, humility, and brotherly love. All, in communion with a strong sense of hospitality and belonging in everything we do.”

St. Andrew the Apostle School is one of over 6,500 Catholic schools across the United States. Catholic Schools demonstrate a remarkable success story in the history of America. Over 400 years after the first known

Catholic school opened in St. Augustine, Florida, our Catholic schools continue to be a gift to the church and a gift to the nation and to us! St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Patroness of Catholic Schools in the U.S., pray for us! St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us!

In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor

Good News! The roof projects are now all paid in full!!! This past week, we received some final generous donations from parishioners for the Roof Project. Thank You!!! Then we received a letter from Michael Bava, Chief Financial Officer of the Diocese. Let me share with you a portion of this letter: “I am delighted to inform you that St. Andrew Parish has surpassed its 2015 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal goal… For the 2015 campaign, I am happy to say that each Parish received a rebate equal to 65% of the funds in excess of their Parish goal! Enclosed please find a check in the amount $2,951.92” (the total donation for 2015 CMAA was $78,853). From this CMAA rebate check, we finished paying off the last $1,330! Alleluia! And Thank YOU ALL for your wonderful generosity to the Diocesan CMAA last year and to our Roof Projects!! God’s blessings upon you all!

2016 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES ANNUAL APPEAL

Please Participate! Your Gift Makes a Difference!

This week, you are asked to review the 2016 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA) tabloid that you received with your bulletin today. The CMAA is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a one-time gift or pledge your gift over 10 months to support the good works of the diocese.

A gift to the CMAA will touch the lives of many in our diocese in a positive way. Each gift makes a difference! Together, the gifts of many enable our diocese to deliver needed education, ministry and services to those who need it most. As you take the time to review the tabloid and see all the work enabled by the CMAA, please reflect on God’s gifts to you. He has given you all that you have. We were “Chosen by God’s Grace” and together we can give thanks to Him for our blessings through a gift to the CMAA.

As you review the work enabled by your contribution to the CMAA, please reflect on God’s gifts to you. He has given you all that you have. Your gifts to our parish, to the diocese, and to the work of the church throughout the world should be given in gratitude for the continuing gifts that God gives you. God extends His mercy to us each day, and you can be a part of “Extending God’s Mercy” to others through the CMAA.

If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it or bring it to Mass next weekend. For those of you who have not received the mailing, we will conduct our Commitment/In-Pew Weekend process at all Masses next weekend. After our parish exceeds its CMAA goal of $72,995 in paid pledges, 65% of any additional funds are returned for use in our parish. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.

When: Saturday, February 20, 2016 DOORS OPEN at 5pm

Gromadzimy się przy ołtarzu Jezusa Chrystusa, aby zrozumieć podstawową prawdę, że jedynym Panem naszego życia, naszych nocy i dni, naszych powstań i zaśnięć jest Ten, który ukształtował człowieka już w łonie matki. Często człowiek planuje swoją przyszłość na własny „rachunek”, bez Boga, uzurpując sobie w ten sposób prawo do własnej reżyserii życia. Chrześcijanin odrzuca dzisiaj Boga, Bóg nie jest mile widziany w życiu człowieka: w szkole, szpitalu, zakładach pracy. „Bóg jest tam nie potrzebny” - tak uważa wielu ludzi, ponieważ Jego miejsce jest w Kościele. Również i my często ulegamy takim poglądom. Zrzucamy Boga na margines ludzkiej egzystencji, lekceważymy Jego naukę i Jego wolę, a liczą się tylko nasze interesy, które nie zawsze są zgodne z chrześcijańskimi wartościami. Za to, że tak często Bóg nie jest na pierwszym miejscu w naszym życiu, przepraszajmy Go teraz licząc na Jego Miłość, która „nie pamięta złego”.

¡Favor de Participar! ¡ Su donación hace la diferencia!

Esta semana, se le pide revisar el tabloide de La Campaña Anual para los Ministerios Catolicos de 2016 (CAMC) que recibió con su boletín de hoy. La CAMC es mucho diferente de una colección especial de una sola vez. Es un compromiso de campaña donde puedes hacer una donación una sola vez o comprometer un regalo durante 10 meses para apoyar las bue-nas obras de la diócesis. Un regalo para la CAMC tocará la vida de muchos en nuestra diócesis de una manera positiva. ¡Cada regalo hace una deferencia! Juntos, los regalos de muchos permiten a nuestra diócesis entregar servicios necesitados de educación, Ministerio y a quienes lo necesitan más. Mientras que tomas el tiempo para revisar el tabloide y ver todo el trabajo de la CAMC, por favor reflexiona sobre el regalo de Dios. Él te ha dado todo lo que tienes. Fuimos "Elegidos por la Gracia de Dios" y juntos podemos dar gracias a El por nuestras bendiciones a través de un regalo a la CAMC. Mientras revisa el trabajo permitido por su contribución a la CAMC, por favor reflexiona sobre los dones de Dios a ti. Él te ha dado todo lo que tienes. Los regalos a nuestra parroquia a la diócesis y al trabajo de la iglesia en todo el mundo se deben dar en agradecimiento por los continuos regalos que Dios te da. Dios extiende su misericordia para nosotros cada día, y tu puede ser una parte de la "misericordia de Dios" a los demás a través de la CAMC. Si usted recibió el formulario de compromiso en el correo, fa-vor de completarla y enviarla por correo o traer a la Misa del próximo fin de semana. Para aquellos de ustedes que no han recibido el envio, llevaremos a cabo nuestro Fin de Semana de Compromiso/Solicitud en las Bancas en todas las Misas el próximo fin de semana. Después que nuestra parroquia exceda su meta de CAMC $72,995 en promesas pagadas, el 65% de los fondos adicionales son devueltos para uso en nuestra parroquia. Gracias por su consideración orante y su respuesta generosa.

It was a very good week for the fighting Crusaders. They won 2 championships! First, the 7/8 grade team defeated St. Francis 36-27 to win the championship in the consolation bracket for the 8th grade boys silver division at St. Mary Mokena tournament. That's not all. The 5/6 grade team also won the St. Joseph- Lockport Winter Classic tournament championship after defeating Holy Family 35-32 in a very exciting finale. Congratulations to all players and coaches! You represented St. Andrew with dignity and humility. You made your school very proud!

GRANT ETERNAL REST, LIGHT AND PEACE TO ALL FAITHFUL DEPARTED: Frank Martensen, Veronica Harper

Please call the parish office by Monday at (815) 886-4165 for the name of your loved one to be placed for 3 weeks on our short term prayer list. Also, please call the parish office, if you are hospitalized and would like a visit from our hospital ministry team or homebound and in need of communion.

Hospital Visitation of Parishioners

Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!

A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT

SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION CATECHUMENATE

The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.

BAPTISM OF CHILDREN We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.

EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.

SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT MARRIAGE

Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.

ORDERS Those seeking assistance in discerning a call to ordained ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.

SACRAMENTS OF HEALING RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon, 3:00pm, Wednesday evening, 5:45-6:45pm, through seasonal communal services, and by appointment.
