St. John the Baptist Catholic Church • Somonauk, Illinois

Dear Parishioners,

Happy Pentecost! The Feast of Pentecost is called

by many the birthday of the Church. That’s because

it was at this moment when the Apostles received

the Holy Spirit that they received the power to go

forth and build the church. They were no longer

afraid and no longer made excuses, but were

convicted to confect the sacraments and share

the Gospel. The Holy Spirit with all His power

came and set the Apostles on fire and then the

people watched them burn with the love of Christ.

That same thing is meant to happen to us. Like

the Apostles many are scared and locked in their

homes. Easter Sunday Evening Jesus found the

Apostles locked in the Upper Room. What would

have happened if the Apostles had never left the

Upper Room? The church would not have been

born. We too are meant to not give in to the

negativity in the news and the fear mongers that

are all around us. We have taken great precautions

during this time of pandemic, but as the

coronavirus becomes more and more under control,

we need to have courage to leave our homes for

at least the essentials. And, the Church has been

deemed essential. We have now been celebrating

daily Mass with ten of you present for a week and

this weekend we continue to do so for our Sunday

Masses. The great hope is that moving forward

this next week we may hear about more and

more of these restrictions being lessened. If fear is

what is keeping you from Church at this time my

message to you is the same message throughout

the papacy of Pope St. John Paul II, “Don’t be

afraid.” As the spots we are allowed in the church

increase I encourage you to come. We are taking

all the necessary precautions with hand sanitizer

for the faithful and the priest before and after

Mass and masks. We also disinfect the church after

each Mass. Pentecost is about the unleashing of the

Holy Spirit upon all of us and upon the Church.

May the Holy Spirit come upon us and the Church

and bring us back fully to the public celebration

of the Mass. “Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts

of your faithful and kindle in them the fire

of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall

be created. And You shall renew the face of the

earth.” Mass will continue to be livestreamed

at www.stjbsom.org/mass-livestream.

God Bless,

Fr. Butler
