Second Sunday of Easter April 8, 2018

St. John Brebeuf Church 8307 N. Harlem Ave., Niles, IL 60714 847-966-8145—www.sjbrebeuf.org


Dear Parishioners, The Easter mystery gives us hope, a new horizon for our lives. Through our Baptism in Christ, God has given us the catalyst or energy to be his servants. We are now Christ’s eyes, ears, hands, and heart to free all who are imprisoned and sitting in darkness, hoping and praying for some sign of Resurrection in their lives. Yes, despite the pessimism and negativity that can darken our spirits, God's love and mercy gives us the ability to be “game changers.” Nothing is impossible with God's love! Thanks to everyone who pitched in during the busy sea-son of Lent and Easter. We're grateful to those who help lead us in prayer each Sunday! Many details and co-ordination happens each week with choir rehearsals, re-hearsals of Altar Servers, scheduling of ministers and the like which makes everything go smoothly. It looks auto-matic but much work takes place to make it happen in a prayerful manner! Thanks to all who help plan and work on the many parish Lenten and social gatherings, including our maintenance crew who help both set up and take down the tables and chairs, and return chaos to order. They allow people to have a fun night out, to enjoy themselves – even during a horrid winter, and to celebrate life in this rich and diverse community. Thank you for making St. John Brebeuf a Great Parish to attend and raise a family in! Divine Mercy Sunday inspires us and begs us to go even further in our life of service and forces us to ask the ques-tions: Who do we know, or whom have we heard or read about that needs our help, our kindness, our time, our money, our love – today? How can I be a “game chang-er” right here at St. John Brebeuf Parish? If God's mercy and the example of these great saints of our day don't propel us into action, what will? Pray that our lives may be light to the nations, enabling God's salvation to reach the ends of the earth! Fr. Mike Meany

Drodzy parafianie, Tajemnica Wielkanocna daje nam nadzieję, nowy horyzont dla naszego życia. Przez nasz chrzest w Chrystusie, Bóg dał nam katalizator lub energię, aby być Jego sługami. Jesteśmy teraz oczami Chrystusa, uszami, rękami i sercem, aby uwolnić wszystkich, którzy są uwięzieni i siedzą w ciemności, mając nadzieję i modląc się o jakiś znak Zmartwychwstania w ich życiu. Tak, pomimo pesymizmu i negatywności, które mogą zaciemnić nasze dusze,, Boża miłość i miłosierdzie dają nam możliwość bycia "zmiennymi w grze". Nic nie jest niemożliwe z Bożą miłością! Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy trudzili się podczas pracowitego okresu Wielkiego Postu i Wielkanocy. Jesteśmy wdzięczni tym, którzy pomagają nam w modlitwie w każdą niedzielę! Wiele szczegółów i koordynacji odbywa się co tydzień z próbami chóru, próbami ministrantów, planowaniem itp., Co sprawia, że wszystko idzie gładko. Wygląda to automatycznie, ale wiele się dzieje, aby to się stało w modlitewny sposób! Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy pomagają w planowaniu i pracy nad wieloma parafialnymi spotkaniami, w tym naszej ekipie konserwacyjnej, która pomaga zarówno ustawiać i rozkładać stoły i krzesła, jak i przywracać porządek z chaosu. Pozwalają ludziom spędzić wesoły wieczór, cieszyć się - nawet podczas koszmarnej zimy i świętować życie w tej bogatej i różnorodnej społeczności. Dziękuję, że uczyniłeś św. Jana Brebeuf Wielką Parafią, aby poprzez uczestnictwo wychowywać rodziny! Niedziela Miłosierdzia Bożego inspiruje nas i błaga, abyśmy poszli jeszcze dalej w naszym życiu w służbie i zmusza nas do zadawania pytań: Kogo znamy, lub kogo słyszeliśmy lub czytaliśmy o tym, że potrzebuje naszej pomocy, naszej dobroci, naszego czasu, naszych pieniędzy, naszej miłości - dzisiaj? Jak mogę być "zmieniaczem gry" tutaj, w parafii St. John Brebeuf? Jeśli Boże miłosierdzie i przykład tych wielkich świętych naszych czasów nie wpędzą nas w czyn, to co? Módlcie się, aby nasze życie było światłem dla narodów, pozwalając zbawieniu Bożemu dotrzeć do krańców ziemi! Fr. Mike Meany

into the St. Vincent de Paul poor box you say “Peace be with you!” to those who are poor and hungry. Have you considered joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that together we can help the suffering and poor. All information will be strictly confidential.

8 kwietnia - Druga Niedziela Wielkanocna: W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Jezus stoi pośród nas i mówi: "Pokój z Wami!" Podczas Mszy zwracamy się do siebie i mówimy "Pokój z Tobą!" Kiedy wkładasz swój prezent do skromnej skrzynki Świętego Wincentego a Paulo, mówisz "Pokój z tobą!" Tym, którzy są biedni i głodni. Czy rozważałeś dołączenie do Bractwa Św. Wincentego a Paulo? Zadzwoń, jeśli potrzebujesz pomocy lub chciałbyś przyłączyć się do pomocy biednym. Czy jest rodzina, którą znasz, która potrzebuje pomocy? Proszę zadzwonić do Towarzystwa św. Wincentego a Paulo, aby wspólnie pomagać cierpiącym i biednym. Wszystkie informacje będą ściśle poufne. Biuro parafialne św. Jana Brebeufa Telefon: (847) 966-8145

Not willing to let go of your marriage? Many couples continue to struggle in a

marriage, but are not willing to give up on each other. There is hope. Retrouvaille is a program designed to help struggling marriages regain their health. It helps a husband and a wife rediscover or re-awaken the love, trust and commitment that originally brought them together. The pro-gram is highly successful in saving hurting marriages, even bringing reconciliation to couples who have al-ready separated or divorced. Retrouvaille is a peer ministry of volunteer couples that can help you learn the tools of healthy communication, build intimacy and heal, just as they have done in their own marriages. For more information about an upcoming Retrouvaille Weekend program for couples, contact: Chris and Cathy Van Treese @ 224-534-9235 or visit our website: HelpOurMarriage.org


St. Joseph is the patron saint of workers, and the protector of family, two important aspects of our life today. The Catho-lic Woman’s Club honored this special feast day on Saturday, March 3 at Lone Tree Manor, in Niles. The guests shared a wonderful feast comprised of catered food, and special desserts; all while learning about the saint and spending quality time with those that matter most. Thank you to those that helped make this event a success; whether you chose to bake or attend the event, it was truly a great time had by all!
