Spiritual Life / Vida Espiritual
Want/Need to get more out of Lent this year?
Join a ReLent Group
What is a ReLent group? ReLent groups are small
groups of people (usually 12 or less) that gather once a
week during Lent to break open the Word and pray
together. Not a Bible study, it is an opportunity to take
a look at the Lenten scriptures and share what they
might mean for you, personally.
Where do they meet? Usually in a person’s home;
sometimes in a coffee shop; or in the Church.
When do they meet? They meet at different times during the day and evening on different days of the week.
What if I don’t know anyone? No problem! This is a
great way to meet people.
What if I can’t commit every week? That’s not a
problem either. Often people have commitments that
conflict on a day or two; everyone understands. Come
when you can.
Why should I do this? Ah, so many reasons! Because
it will make your personal Lent experience deeper,
because someone will benefit from what you bring to
the group, because it builds community, . . . and
because once you do it, you’ll wonder why you
hesitated.
I’m thinking about hosting a group myself. What
should I do? Fantastic! Just e-mail [email protected] or call Sr. Christina at
847.864-1185 ext. 23 and she will help you.
Please note that every Tuesday evening, a group
meets in church and opens the Word as part of
evening prayer.
¿Quiere/Necesita hacer más esta Cuaresma?
Participe en un grupo Cuaresmal de ReLent”
¿Qué es un “grupo de ReLent”? Grupos de
ReLent son grupos pequeños de personas (usualmente
de 12 o menos) que se reúnen una ves por semana
durante la Cuaresma para abrir la Palabra y orar juntos.
No es estudio Bíblico, es una oportunidad de ver la
lecturas de Cuaresma y compartir lo que significan para
ti, personalmente.
¿Dónde se reúnen? Usualmente en el hogar de
alguien; a veces en un Café; o en la iglesia.
¿Cuándo se reúnen? Se reúnen a diferentes horas del
día y por las tardes en diferentes días de la semana.
¿Y si no conozco a nadie? ¡No es problema! Es una
forma excelente de conocer a nuevas personas.
¿Y si no puedo comprometerme todas las
semanas? Tampoco es problema. Seguido personas
tienen otros compromisos un día o dos; todos lo
comprendemos. Venga cuando pueda.
¿Porqué debo hacer esto? ¡Ah, por muchas razones!
Por que hará tu experiencia Cuaresmal más profunda,
por que alguien se puede beneficiar de lo que tu
aportas al grupo, por que construye comunidad,… y
por que una ves haciéndolo, te preguntaras por que
tardaste en participar.
Estoy pensando en hospedar a un grupo. ¿Qué debo
hacer? ¡Fantástico! Mande un correo-e a
[email protected] o llame a la Hna. Christina al
847-864-1185 ext. 23 y ella les puede ayudar.
Por favor note que el martes por la tarde, hay un
grupo que se reúne en la iglesia y abre la Palabra
para oración.

The St. Nicholas Transformation Process
Looking Back and Looking Forward
During the fall of 2013 St. Nicholas began a “parish transformation” process: a period of examining and discussing and ultimately finding ways to reinvigorate parish life. From the initial meetings emerged six implementation teams, each focused on a vital aspect of the parish: Adult Formation, Youth Formation, Mission
and Engagement, Financial Resources, Pope John XXIII School, and Liturgy and Prayer. What follows is an
update on one team’s efforts during the past year.
Implementation Co-Chairs
Tom Lenz - 847-475-5258 or [email protected] Sheila Hebein - 847-864-8064 or [email protected]
Update: Financial Resources
Team coordinator: Jean Bryan
What did this team set out to accomplish? The transformation discussions coalesced around the need for increased monthly/weekly giving, improved communication, and a long-term development plan, all in service of
supporting St. Nick’s mission and ministries. Our team decided to focus specifically on five critical areas: (1) covering the operating budget with weekly/monthly giving, (2) reducing our reliance on fundraisers, (3) increasing financial literacy, (4) connecting stewardship to St. Nick’s mission, and (5) establishing a sustainable financial basis
for the parish.
What were some highlights of the past year? We set out to establish a model for future years. Team members
collaborated with parish staff and the Finance Council to give the annual report a new look with an increased emphasis on understandable data, personal stories, and the connection between finances and mission. Throughout
October, the team implemented a month-long plan that featured a kick-off homily, lay reflections, and bulletin announcements and offered several opportunities to sign up for GiveCentral.
Who has has been involved? Marion Flynn, Susan Schaffrath, Karen Allen, Joanne Bertsche, and I collaborated
on the annual report and the planning and implementation of stewardship month. Karen specifically focused on
the GiveCentral effort (up 10% and still growing), and Joanne initiated the process of establishing a Planned Giving/Bequests Society. Many other team members contributed ideas, responded to written documents, helped
make the team-sponsored Coffee Cake Sunday a success, spoke from the pulpit, and participated in numerous
ways. These contributors included Ampy Basa, Jim Burke, Mary Burke-Peterson, Mary Erickson, Marge Gambow,
Terence Houk, and Jaime Rojas.
Is there anything special you’d like us to keep in mind? We hope that our work leads to a renewed spirit of
generosity among all parishioners and a recognition that financial resources are needed so that every ministry,
group and individual can flourish and realize their full potential.
How do you envision this transformation work going forward? Our team has recommended more than a
dozen concrete activities that build on the work of the past year. One key recommendation is the formation of a
stewardship committee made up of 10-12 parishioners who would lead and support communication, education,
and stewardship initiatives. Many volunteers with many talents will be needed: all are welcome.

Reconciliation for a World in Need:
Turning to Our Sacraments for Healing and Hope
Sunday November 16, 2014
Saint Nicholas Parish
A panel presentation on the topic of reconciliation,
sponsored by the Adult Faith Enrichment team, took
place on the morning of Sunday, November 16, 2014
in Oldershaw Hall. The panelists were Dr. Sue
Garthwaite (spiritual director and author), Dr. Bob
Shuford (hospital chaplain), Dr. Bren Murphy (faculty
at Loyola) and Sr. Christina Fuller (Director of Religious Education). Approximately 40 were in attendance. A key insight from the panel’s sharing was that
“God reconciles all things with a whisper to arise.” As
Christians, we are called to believe that God can, and
will, participate actively in our positive efforts toward
reconciling differences and hurts, whether between
individuals, among family members or in the context
of larger societal issues. The panelists told powerful
stories about their own efforts toward reconciling difficulties in personal relationships while trusting in God –
the prime mover – for inspiration and courage. If we
are open to welcoming grace into our lives, then we
will know which action to take when faced with the
question of whether to choose the death of a close
friendship or reconciliation that heals.
Audio of several of the reflections is available on the
parish blog. To listen, go to
