STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION “I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living. ” (MARK 12:43-44)

Jesus gets right to the point – we are all called to give money to support the mission of the Church, regardless of our circumstance. No gift is too small or insignificant! Giving money to support the mission of our local parish is a matter of our faith, just like praying and participating in parish ministries. When you make a financial offering, is it from your “first fruits” or from what is “left over”?

LEADERSHIP 360

Some weeks ago I wrote about a required evaluation process in which I was "invited," required would be a better word, to participate. This evaluation was entitled "Leadership 360." As the title suggest, its purpose was to give me feedback on my leadership skills, or lack thereof, as pastor of Saint Cornelius Parish. This program replaces the old leadership evaluation in which I participated about five years ago. Leadership is much more comprehensive than the old one, and creates the impression, rightly or wrongly, that it offers greater scientific accuracy when painting a picture as to how I am perceived as the leader of the parish.

Leadership 360 designates certain individuals as necessary responders in the process. Therefore, they are required to receive an invitation to offer feedback. Whether they choose to accept the invitation, or not, is up to each of them. These necessary individuals include the episcopal vicar, the dean (since I am a dean, I needed to reach out to one of my fellow deans for feedback), and parish leadership, including pastoral and support staff, parish pastoral council, and finance committee. If we had a parochial school, school board members would be included in this group, but such is not the case. However, I did reach out to the two prin-cipals and the three other pastors of Pope Francis Global Academy. The same would be true for associate pastors, but, here again, not applicable. Finally, I had to identify at least three other members of the parish who are very active in the life of the community, such as heads of parish organizations—current or former. All of these received a rather lengthy questionnaire that took at least 30 minutes to complete.

Then, I was to invite the parish at large to participate via a much more condensed questionnaire. This I did through the Bulletin. I included directions for the participation to be electronic, and I inserted a hardcopy in the Bulletin for those who chose to do things the old fashioned way. And, lest I forget, I had to complete a questionnaire about myself.

Two weeks ago the time had come for me to discover what was said about me in these surveys, and to discuss the findings with a representative of the Leadership 360 Team. As to the required group, including me there were 21 participants, or raters, and they are called in the process. As to the larger parish participation, there were 48 raters.

Let me begin by expressing my sincere thanks to all who responded to the invitation to be raters in the evaluation. As one who receives a number of surveys in the mail and electronically, I know the temptation is to just put them in the proverbial circular file, or simply hit the delete button on the keyboard. I see your taking the time to offer feedback as a real gift of your time, and I am most appreciative of your effort. I can-not offer personal thanks because the surveys were anonymous; I have no idea who provided the feedback. I guess a general “Thank You" will have to suffice. At this point, you are most likely wondering what exactly the surveys said about my leadership capacity. SORRY! Remember, I told you that everything was confidential, and so it shall remain. I will say that most of the comments were rather affirming, but there were some areas for growth identified. The Leadership 360 rep. and I spent well over an hour looking at the results of the surveys (the required ones) and noting the accompanying comments. The results are continued in a 30 page booklet, so great attention to detail was given. The next and final step in the process is for me to identify at least one growth goal drawn from the feedback and design a plan to achieve that goal. I am working on that even as I am sharing this information with you. While I was at first taken aback that one as old as I would be included in the evaluation process, I realize that intellectual growth does not stop with a certain age. There is always room for improvement. Rest assured that I will take your feedback, affirmation and challenges, and do my best to learn from it, that I may become a more effective leader. Again, thanks to all my raters.

Father Dan

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is the national anti-poverty program of the U.S. Catholic Bishops, working to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ "... to bring good news to the poor ... release to captives ... sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free." (Luke 4:18)

The belief that those who are di-rectly affected by unjust systems and structures have the best insight into knowing how to change them is central to CCHD. CCHD works to break the cycle of poverty by helping low-income people partici-pate in decisions that affect their lives, families and communities. CCHD offers a hand up, not a hand out.

Blessing of Prayer Shawls

Prayer Shawls will be blessed at the 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Masses on Sunday, November 18th. These shawls and lap blankets were created with love by our Prayer Shawl Min-istry. If you or someone you know would be comforted by a

shawl or lap blanket we encourage you to come for-ward after Mass and take one. If you are able, a free will donation would be appreciated so we can con-tinue this wonderful ministry. Otherwise you are more than welcome to take one. Our next Prayer Shawl gathering will take place on Tuesday, November 13th at 7:00 p.m. in the Rectory Conference Room. Anyone interested in joining us is most welcome! Donations of yarn are needed so we can continue our ministry. You can drop skeins of yarn off at the rec-tory during business hours. Thank you in advance for your generosity! Anyone in need of a lap blanket or shawl for someone who needs comfort during an ill-ness or difficult time can drop by the rectory to pick one up or call Barbara Hecker at 773-283-5222.

A THANKSGIVING INVITATION

Giving thanks to the Lord is what Thanksgiving is all about. What better way to begin Thanksgiving Day than by celebrating the Eucharist! Our Mass will

be Thursday November 22nd at 9:00am. Following the Mass, hospitality will be offered in Pacocha Center, compliments of the Music Ministry.

Thanksgiving Prayer We turn our hearts to you on this day for giving thanks, mindful of your many gifts. For each one, we are grateful. For each one, we are blessed. For each one, we are open to the abundance of your love. May this Thanksgiving Day offer a reminder to be generous with others, as you are with us. We praise you. We rejoice with you. We give you thanks. Amen .

SHRINE OF REMEBRANCE On this weekend before Thanksgiving and the begin-ning of Advent, we ask all those who provided photos of loved ones in our Shrine of Remembrance to take the photos home after Mass today. We are grateful for your having share them with us.

LADIES GUILD The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 28th starting with mass at 6:30pm, followed by a meeting in the Pacocha hall. Please bring a 1lb. bag of rice or coffee to help support our Food Pantry.

Also, a heartfelt thanks to all who donated, worked, and came to support our Rummage sale.

Please pray for all the faithful departed

FROM THE PARISH NURSE... Growing up, my grandfather and 2 brothers were “glued” to the TV for the entire football season. As we know, football has some serious injuries that can lead to life-long health problems. Dr. Joshua Alpert has some information on 6 preventable foot-ball injuries to be aware of this season. “Football season is here. Injuries occur during games and prac-tice due to the combination of high speeds and full contact. This means my colleagues and I here at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, Illinois, and Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Illinois, begin seeing multiple football injuries in the doctor's office. With the help of the American Academy of Sports Medi-cine, let me share the most common football injuries and how to prevent and treat them.

Top Football Injuries Knees: Knee injuries in football are the most seen in my pro-fession, especially those to the anterior or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) and to the menisci (cartilage of the knee). These knee injuries can adversely affect a player's long-term involvement in the sport. Ankles: Football players also have a higher chance of ankle sprains due to the surfaces they play on and the cutting motions the sport requires. Shoulders: Shoulder injuries are also quite frequent, and the labrum (cartilage bumper surrounding the socket part of the shoulder) is particularly susceptible to injury, especially in of-fensive and defensive linemen. In addition, injuries to the ac-romioclavicular joint (ACJ) or shoulder are often seen in foot-ball players. Concussions: Football players are at very high risk for concus-sions. A concussion is a change in mental state due to a trau-matic impact. Not all of those who suffer a concussion will lose consciousness. Some signs that a concussion has been sustained are headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, drowsiness, numbness/tingling, difficulty concentrating, and blurry vision. The athlete should return to play only when clearance is granted by a health care professional. Overuse Injuries: Low-back pain, or back pain in general, is a usual complaint in football players due to overuse. Overuse can also lead to overtraining syndrome, when a player trains beyond the ability for the body to recover. Patellar tendinitis (knee pain) is a typical problem that football players develop and can usually be treated by a quadriceps strengthening program. Heal Injuries: Heat injuries are a major concern for youth foot-ball players, especially at the start of training camp. This usu-ally occurs in August and early September when some of the highest temperatures and humidity of the year occur. Intense physical activity can result in excessive sweating that depletes the body of salt and water. The earliest symptoms are painful cramping of major muscles groups. However, if not treated with body cooling and fluid replacement, this can progress to heat exhaustion and heat stroke-which can result in death. It is im-portant for football players to be aware of the need for fluid replacement and to inform medical staff of symptoms of heat injures. How to Prevent Football injuries •Stay active during summer break to prepare for return to sports in the fall •Have a pre-season health and wellness evaluation •Perform proper warm-up and cool-down routines •Consistently incorporate strength training and stretching •Wear properly fitted protective equipment (ex: helmet, pads and mouth guard) •Tackle with the head up and do not lead with the helmet •Hydrate adequately to maintain health and minimize cramps •Speak with a sports medicine professional or athletic trainer if you have any concerns about football injuries or football injury prevention strategies.”
