FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK… Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Parish, This Wednesday is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. This feast has its roots in a historical event that took place in the early 4th century. St. Helena, the mother of the Emperor Constantine, went to Jerusalem in order to search for the holy places associated with the life of Christ. While there, she razed a second century pagan temple, which was said to be built over Christ’s tomb, in order to make room for Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher, which her son would build. During the excavation, workers found three crosses, one of which was identified as the cross of Christ. The cross has become a central symbol of Christian belief. It represents Christ’s triumph over sin and death, and stands as a symbol of hope for all who suffer and struggle in this world. The cross reminds us that God is with us in the midst of our trials and struggles. It is stands as a sign of Christ’s self-giving, saving love. We venerate the cross as a sign of our faith, and we place all our hope in Christ crucified and resurrected! God’s Blessings, Fr. Jim Schuerman Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales, Este miércoles, el 14 de septiembre, celebraremos la Fiesta de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz. Esta fiesta tiene sus raíces en un evento histórico que pasó en el cuarto siglo. Santa Helena, la Madre del Imperador Constantino, fue para Jerusalén para encontrar los lugares santos relacionados con la vida de Cristo. Durante su tiempo en Jerusalén, Santa Helena ordenó la destrucción de un templo pagano que fue construido sobre el sepulcro de Cristo en el segundo siglo, en preparación para la construcción de la Basílica del Santo Sepulcro. Durante la excavación, los trabajadores encontraron tres cruces, y una fue identificada como la cruz de Cristo. La cruz un símbolo central de la fe cristiana. Representa el triunfo de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte, y es un símbolo de esperanza para los que sufren en este mundo. La cruz nos recuerda la presencia de Dios entre nuestras luchas y pruebas. Es un signo del amor generoso y salvífico de Cristo. ¡Veneremos la cruz como signo de nuestra fe, y pongamos nuestra esperanza en Cristo crucificado y resucitado! Que Dios los bendiga, Padre Jim Schuerman

UPDATE ON THE MILLION HOURS OF VOLUNTEERING CHALLENGE The chalice is back! Don’t be disappointed by the amount of wine in our chalice. Originally our challenge included St. Benedict’s and St. Catherine’s Parishes in addition to our o w n S t . F r a n c i s d e S a l e s . Circumstances did not allow for their participation. Does that mean that we are giving up on our goal of a million hours? It is more than an extremely aggressive number. What we have done alone in our parish is phenomenal! We have seen more volunteerism this year than in many years. Granted, some of our parishioners have been giving many, many hours consistently for a long time. This year many who have never volunteered have stepped forward. We had close to 150 parishioners assist at Farm Technology during the hottest days of the summer. Project 2017 and the Renovation Committee members have each put in hundreds of hours, hours at Food Pantries, taking care of the Altar, singing in the choir, Bible Study and so much more. Add to that, the parishioners who have added an hour here or there by helping a friend or neighbor and we at St. Francis can be very proud. All of these hours big and small add up to a vital, alive parish. We should be very proud no matter what the final total in November when the Holy Year of Mercy ends. We are not done yet, so keep those hours coming. Fill out the form below and drop into the collection basket or the boxes at the church entrances. You can email to me at milliemack632@gmail.com or call (630) 310-4703 or drop them off at the parish office. Thank you to all who have contributed hundreds of hours or one hour. Every hour is important!
