women willing to follow after your hearts as

Come to the quiet…
“Rising very early before dawn, Jesus left and went off to a de-
serted place to pray.” Mk 1:35
In our noisy fast paced lives, it is often hard to hear God’s
voice! Are you, like many others, longing for a moment to be
still and listen?
Are you looking for peace to face daily challenges? Are you
yearning to be renewed and grow in faith especially in this
Lenten season?
When: Thursday Evenings: March 7 ~ April 12
Where: Bernardin Room Time: 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Please note that the last lesson is on Friday April 12th
(not on a Thursday eve).
Join us for a 6-Week Lenten Catholic Meditative Prayer
Experience
We will use as resources the work of Jacques-Benigne Bossuet
and Timothy M. Gallagher
Sessions will be led by Joy Anderson who has been leading meditative
prayer for 25 years To register: Please contact Lisa Mersereau at: li-
[email protected] or 847.437.6208 ext. 120

Through fellowship, faith sharing, hospitality, music, Mass, reflection and more, men have the opportunity
to step back from the every day to reflect on their life and their spiritual journey. It is an incredible experi-
ence that will help you discover what’s missing in your life and what to do about it. Even if you have partici-
pated in CRHP in the past, you are most certainly welcome to attend again. It is a wonderful way for all
men to start their Lenten journey and to draw closer to God, and make new friends.
The next Men’s Christ Renews His Parish weekend will be held March 2 & 3, 2019 at Saint Raymond’s
PMC. There is NO COST to the attendees and all meals, snacks, and even adult beverages are provided.
Saturday and Sunday begins at 8:30 with continental breakfast in the school cafeteria. A Saturday night over-
night stay is not required, but we will finish into the evening. The program Sunday typically ends at around
1:00 in the afternoon, so you will still have time for your family.
To register or if you have any questions, you can contact:
Chuck Hemler at [email protected] 847-427-1472
George Beck at [email protected] 224-392-9887
When life is pulling you in many directions, sometimes you need to
take time to step away. Perhaps Men’s CRHP is the answer.
Men’s CRHP March 2 & 3, 2019
2019 Annual Catholic Appeal
“Come, Follow Me…and share the Word”
Please spend some time this week reflecting on the Annual Catholic Appeal brochure that you received with your bulletin. The Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledged campaign commitment where you can make a gift payable in installments. A pledge is a promise to make a gift over a span of time. Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many en-able our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, Follow Me…and share the Word.” Once we reach our parish goal of $ 35,000 in paid pledges, 100% of any additional funds come back to our parish to help fund our needs. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. For those of you who did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.
