You do a good deed to a person, and this person in turn, passes it on to another, and therefore spreads and gets passed on to everyone. Doing this will not only attract and cultivate positivity in your life, this will also help cultivate your relationships and strengthen bonds with the people around you. Religious Community Facts...Did You Know ? After 17 years (1912) of successful work in Chicago, the Benedictine Sisters numbered 60 members, were staffing 9 schools, had paid for their convent/school and purchased 200 acres of property in Lisle. ST TERESA PARISH BACK WITH BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES I’m back, my dear Church! For two weeks, I have journeyed through the shrines of Portugal, Spain and France, and did a short excursion to Milan and Rome. I am back with amazing memories and new experiences that will refill my spiritual tank. I also have gained some good experiences that I can share in my future homilies and presentations. It was awe-inspiring that last week, I celebrated mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica with my mother, Michael Groth, and another seminarian, James Guarascio. This weekend, I am back in Kankakee to celebrate masses with you. To top it all off, I was able to share the experience with my mother, whose first trip to Europe allowed her to see some lifelong dream destinations, especially in Fatima, Lourdes and Rome. I have prayed for you, many times, dear church. I spent a total of 4 ½ hours praying the petitions that were sent on this pilgrimage, especially at the shrine of Fatima and Lourdes. All the petitions were offered at every mass, until they were eventually left by the grotto of apparition in Lourdes, and candles were burned for them as well. I feel so humbled to be the bearer of your petitions. Thank you for this privilege. Father Tony said in his homily last weekend that, “It’s all Sunny in Kankakee”, and by the grace of God, things are working out because of the many parishioners and priests that have been generous to us. In the first weekend of my absence, there were enough priests that helped cover our masses, thanks to our staff that helped make it work. I want to say thank you to Fr. Roy Jacob for his leadership and kindness. He is always willing to be with the people and help where he is needed. Our parish staff and volunteers have also helped me feel relaxed, because I know that they are able to accomplish their ministry with the utmost generosity and enthusiasm. So, truly, I have been grateful, and my prayers for our churches in Kankakee have been geared toward thanksgiving and continued outpouring of blessings, healing, unity and spiritual renewal. This weekend, we celebrate the three days of Saint Teresa’s Festival. I dreamed of this festival four years ago, as an opportunity to celebrate the gift of Saint Teresa Church to the faithful of Kankakee. I truly believe that through the years, the church of Saint Teresa became the happy and dynamic parish that it is today not only because of the priests that helped mentor the people, but especially because of the welcoming spirit that has been imbedded in the heart of the faithful. As pastor of the three Kankakee parishes, I see the enthusiastic response of our parishioners who have worked hard to prepare for these festivals every year. This is how we have achieved the goals that we have set. I hope that more volunteers will continue to step up to making future festivals successful, and that new faces will also grace the planning meetings. I also hope to build up the spirit of community for all the churches, by calling everyone to participate and support in these festivities. After the heart of Jesus, Fr. Sunny Castillo PAGE 3 REGRESO CON RECUERDOS PRECIOSOS ¡Ya regresé, mi querida Iglesia! Por dos semanas, he visitado los santuarios en Portugal, España y Francia, e hice una excursión corta a Milán y a Roma. Estoy de regreso con recuerdos asombrosos y experiencias nuevas que llenan mi reserva espiritual. También he ganado algunas nuevas experiencias que puedo compartir en mis homilías y presentaciones futuras. La última semana fué de gran inspiración, celebré misa en la Basílica de San Pedro con mi madre, con Michael Groth, y con otro seminarista, James Guarascio. Éste fin de semana, de regreso a Kankakee, celebraré las misas con ustedes. Sobre todo, puedo compartir mis experiencias con mi madre, que fué su primer viaje a Europa y le permitió realizar su sueño al visitar los diferentes lugares, especialmente Fátima, Lourdes y Roma. Mi querida iglesia, he rezado por ustedes muchas veces. Pasé un total de 4 ½ horas rezando las peticiones enviádas a ésta peregrinación, especialmente al santuario de Fátima, y Lourdes. Todas las peticiones se ofrecieron en cada misa, y finalmente se quedaron en el santuario de las apariciones en Lourdes, y también se ensendieron velas. Fué en espíritu de humildad que llevé sus peticiones. Gracias por éste privilegio. El Padre Tony dijo en su homilía éste fin de semana, que, “Todo está radiante en Kankakee”, y por la gracia de Dios, las cosas estan trabajando bién porque muchos feligreses y sacerdotes son generosos con nosotros. En el primer fin de semana de mi ausencia, hubieron suficientes sacerdotes para todas las misas, gracias a mi personal que estubo al tanto de todo. Doy las gracias al Padre Roy Jacob por su liderazgo y amabilidad. Él siempre está dispuesto en acompañar a la gente y ayudar dónde sea necesario. Nuestro personal parroquial y los voluntarios me ayúdan a sentirme relajado, porque yo sé que éllos pueden cumplir su ministerio con gran generosidad y entusiasmo. En realidad, estoy agradecido, y mis oraciones por nuestras iglesias en Kankakee estan dirigídas a dar gracias y continúan un derráme de bendiciones, sanación, unidad y renovación espiritual. Éste fin de semana, celebramos tres días del Festival de Santa Teresa. Soñaba de éste festival hace cuatro años, como una oportunidad de celebrar el don de la Iglesia de Santa Teresa a todos los fieles de Kankakee. En realidad, yo creo que a través de los años, la iglesia de Santa Teresa llegó a ser la felíz y dinámica parroquia que lo és hoy día nó por los sacerdotes que han ayudado a la gente, pero especialmente por su espíritu de biénvenida que ha sido implantado en el corazón de los fieles. Cómo pastor de las tres parroquias en Kankakee, véo la respuesta entusiasta de nuestros feligreses que han trabajado duro para preparar éstos festivales cada año. Así és como hemos cumplido con las metas anticipadas. Espero que más voluntarios salgan a ofrecerse para que los festivales en el futuro tengan éxito, y que caras nuevas favorescan las juntas de planeación. También yo espero engrandecer el espíritu de comunidad para todas las iglesias, llamando a todos a participar y apoyar en éstas festividades.

Your generosity is most appreciated. Lord God, We confess that in You we live and move and have our being. Because You are, we are. May we find grace from you to affirm the being of every human and may we labor to make this truth known to the world around us. Amen 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time Oct. 3/4, 2015 In the context of the passage from the Letter to the Hebrews that all things exist for and through God, today’s scripture passages from the Book of Genesis and St. Mark’s Gospel profess a common theme: sacred marriage. In the Gospel, Jesus, referring to Genesis, proclaims, God made them male and female. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. It is obvious from these Scripture passages that God’s gift of marriage is a blessing between one man and one woman. This is the church’s teaching on Christian marriage and it is this Scriptural Truth that faithful stewards need to embrace regardless of what secular society promotes as a false image of marriage. In this Truth, the Sacrament of Matrimony reaches its full Christian meaning and potential by strengthening husbands and wives to love and serve the Lord and one another. October is the month of the Rosary, a special time we remember our Mother Mary and honoring and respecting her unique role in the salvation history. Her role in the salvation history was inseparable and she played a double role; as a physical mother and a true disciple. Jesus never failed to introduce His beloved mother in public as the true disciple and a mother. In the gospel of Mathew 12:48-50 we find Jesus asking, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” With firm conviction and knowledge Jesus was revealing that Mary is the only one who perfectly obeyed the will of God the Father. Therefore she is a perfect disciple and a real mother in all respect. Jesus knew well that Mary is the only one he can trust with full confidence here on earth. As the mother and a disciple she accompanied Jesus till the end. The cost that she paid through her life is unimaginable. Now the time has come to express our deep gratitude to our mother for her meritorious and heroic life here on earth. How do we respect and honor her? We need to ask the question, how important is Mary in my life? Do I make any effort to recite the rosary on a daily basis as part of my Christian life It is Pope Leo XIII who personally started the practice of devoting October to the Rosary devotion. In a letter of September 1, 1883, mindful of the Rosary's power to strengthen faith and foster a life of virtue, he outlined the triumphs of the Rosary in past times and admonished the faithful to dedicate the month of October to the Blessed Virgin through the daily recitation of her Rosary in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, in order to obtain through her intercession the grace that God would console and defend His Church in her sufferings. The rosary is a powerful weapon against Satan. One day a retreat preacher shared with me one of his moving experiences in the field of retreat. One day he was giving a retreat for a group of people in Rome. It was a full week retreat and a couple of thousand people were on board to get the divine experience. During the adoration this priest was praying alone in the corner of the chapel. While he was in deep meditation Satan appeared before him and said, “Do not let the people recite the rosary. Because each time they recite the Hail Mary it is a strong blow on my head. Please discourage them from doing so”. It is an undeniable fact that reciting the rosary is a strong support and power against Satan and all his influences. In this month of October, let us consider this beautiful prayer of the rosary as a means that we can use to make ourselves powerful and draw closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation. Have a blessed Week Rev. Roy Jacob CMI
