Letter from Fr. Thomas Vellappallil
Dear Father Gorsic,
In the name of the La Salette Missionaries and especially myself, Fr. Thomas Vellappallil, I wish to thank you and the people of St. Andrew the Apostle for your hospitality, generosity and prayers during the mission appeal on June 18-19.
We thank you for the opportunity to bring a renewed awareness of our Church’s Mission to your people and to bring their love and support to the needy of the mission countries served by the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette.
Sincerely yours in our Lord and Lady, Fr. Thomas Vellappallil, MS Director
We are excited to announce that Waterleaf and Woman’s Choice Services are combining forces and strategically aligning!
Through the combined efforts of blending these two premiere pregnancy centers, we will best be able to provide and expand our parent education offerings at the WCS Bolingbrook site and the excellent, comprehensive medical services at the Waterleaf Clinic in Aurora.
Waterleaf is strategically located just blocks away from the largest abortion provider in the Midwest. Pregnancy testing, ultrasounds and STD testing and treatment will be provided at the Waterleaf Clinic in Aurora.
The WCS Bolingbrook facility will become the Waterleaf Education & Resource Center and will ensure our pregnant clients have the ongoing life skills and material support necessary for them to succeed.
The WCS Lombard location will close.
For more information, contact Mary Griffith, Director of Development at 630-701-6270. Website: www.waterleafwc.org

Sisters of St. Francis’ Summer Prayer Breakfast
Wednesday, July 13 at 7AM at the Joliet Franciscan Center, 1433 Essington Road in Joliet. This event is for men and women. Breakfast will be available.
Our speaker for the morning is Father Jim Lennon. Father Jim has been a speaker at past Prayer Breakfasts and always brings us a spiritual message laced with his signature good humor.
Space is limited, so reserve your place by Monday, July 11 at 815-725-8735, x116. This event has a suggested donation of $10.00.
PEACE
The greeting of peace at Mass adds substance to a message of today’s readings: peace is relational. When we greet in peace the person near us at Mass, we share the touch of a handshake or embrace, sincere eye contact, and friendly words.
The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first reading from Isaiah describes the peace of the holy city, Jerusalem, a place of prosperity and comfort where the “LORD’s power shall be known to his servants” (Isaiah 66:14c).
The Christian understanding of peace changes slightly. Paul writes of the “peace and mercy” on all who are created anew. Jesus describes a feeling of peace that will rest on those who accept his disciples and their message.
Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal blessing. May we always and sincerely bring peace to our own lives as we share it with others.

TOTUS TUUS NEW SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM
St. Andrew the Apostle July 16-22, 2016
WHAT IS TOTUS TUUS? Totus Tuus is a week-long “parish mission” for Catholic youth whereby seminarians and college students proclaim the Gospel and promote the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, apologetics, Christian witness, the sacraments, Marian devotion, Eucharistic worship, and FUN!
Totus Tuus seeks to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and openness to their vocation by constantly challenging them to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her.
TOTALLY YOURS Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning “totally yours,” was the motto of St. John Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of our Blessed Mother Mary. It also expresses our effort to give all that we have to every young person we encounter.

Decimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
ENCONTRARSE CON CRISTO Una vez un amigo me dijo que él vive cada día de su vida en busca de alguna oportunidad de encontrarse con el Señor. Yo le contesté que así era como yo también vivía mi vida. Pero un día descubrí lo que él quería decir exactamente con esa frase. Un buen día mi amigo tenía algo que hacer en mi vecindario y se había topado con un muchacho descalzo, que estaba pidiendo limosna a las personas que salían del supermercado. Mi amigo le dijo al muchacho que iba a hacer lo que pudiera para conseguirle un par de zapatos y una muda de ropa limpia. Y, ¿a dónde piensan que se le ocurrió llevar al muchacho para buscarle zapatos y ropa? ¡A mi casa! Yo me quedé desconcertado al verlos llegar a mi casa y oír a mi amigo explicándome la situación. Me dijo que estaba encantado de haber hallado una oportunidad en este día de encontrarse con Cristo. Yo no sabía ni qué decir, pero a la vez sentí una gran humildad al sentir la presencia de Cristo en mi casa. Fui a mi gavetero y vacilé unos momentos mientras miraba algunas prendas de vestir que no había usado en algún tiempo. Pero algo dentro de mí me dijo que fuera a mi armario. Allí saqué mis jeans favoritos, una camisa bastante nueva con un buen suéter, alguna ropa interior nueva, un par de zapatos y calcetines. El muchacho entró al baño a cambiarse, y cuando salió su cara estaba radiante de alegría. Mientras tanto, mi amigo había ido a mi refrigerador y le había preparado una comida para llevarse. Luego lo llevó a un lugar donde podría pasar la noche.
EL LLAMADO SURGE DEL ENCUENTRO Esta experiencia me enseñó mucho sobre lo que significa ser una persona que procura seguir a Cristo. Descubrí que para llegar a conocer a Cristo más y más, tenemos que ser nosotros los que lo busquemos en las personas con quienes nos encontramos cada día de nuestras vidas. Hoy el Señor Jesús nos pide que recemos para que su Padre envíe más trabajadores a su cosecha. Roguemos para que cada vez más hombres y mujeres tengan el valor de buscar a Cristo en su vida diaria. Y tal vez algunas de esas personas oirán la voz del Señor que les llama al ministerio

“Inspiring Growth in Knowledge and Faith”
Be sensuous. Be bold. Be sent. Two great stories are heard today. Isaiah invites us to look around and notice how a mother comforts her child. God says to Israel: “That’s exactly how I comfort you.” And God says it to us today! So let us be bold and be like God. Give comfort. Luke invites us to go ahead of the Lord, just like the 72 sent
out to the nations. Say “Peace.” Then take care of the sick. Can we be bold just like them? • Who needs comfort today? What will I do? • Who is sick? What peace and comfort will I bring? • How will I be bold?

Look upon our brothers and sisters who are ill, in the midst of illness and pain, may they be united with Christ, who heals both body and soul; may they know the consolation promised to those who suffer and be fully restored to wellness and wholeness. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
GRANT ETERNAL REST, LIGHT AND PEACE TO ALL FAITHFUL DEPARTED: Gene Nowak
Please call the parish office by Monday at (815) 886-4165 for the name of your loved one to be placed for 3 weeks on our short term prayer list. Also, please call the parish office, if you are hospitalized and would like a visit from our hospital ministry team or homebound and in need of communion.
Hospital Visitation of Parishioners
Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!
A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT
SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION CATECHUMENATE
The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.
BAPTISM OF CHILDREN We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.
EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.
SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT MARRIAGE
Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.
