<strong>Visitation</strong> Mission Statement<br />

<strong>Visitation</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, a Roman Catholic Community in the Diocese of Joliet-in-<br />

Illinois, seeks to draw all to Jesus Christ, revelation of the Father and font of the<br />

Holy Spirit, by celebrating the Sacraments, educating people of all ages in the<br />

Truths of the Catholic Faith, and reaching out to those who are physically, emotionally<br />

or spiritually in need.<br />

<strong>779</strong> S. <strong>York</strong> <strong>Road</strong><br />

parish family.<br />

Visits to the Sick<br />

Because of changes in hospital admitting<br />

or deacon. Catholic chaplains are<br />

assigned to area hospitals to administer<br />

the Sacraments. <strong>Visitation</strong> parish<br />

+ LENT 2006 +<br />

Ash Wednesday, March 1<br />

Masses—6:15, 8:15 A.M., NOON, 5:00 and 7:00 P.M.<br />

Weekday Masses<br />

One of the best ways to enter into the Lenten Season is to participate in daily Mass. Weekday Mass is<br />

celebrated at 6:15 and 8:15 A.M., Monday—Friday, and at 8:15 A.M. on Saturday. The Scripture readings<br />

for each of the Lenten Masses were specially chosen to provide a lesson on the spiritual life. If you<br />

are unable to attend daily Mass, take some time to reflect on these readings. They are listed in the bulletin<br />

each week.<br />

Stations of the Cross<br />

The Stations of the Cross will be prayed on Wednesdays at 1:45 P.M. (with the school children) and on<br />

Fridays at 7:00 P.M., followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A booklet with meditations on<br />

the Way of the Cross, composed by Pope Benedict XVI, is available in the church bookracks for private<br />

prayer. A plenary indulgence is granted to those who make the Way of the Cross, under the usual<br />

conditions. Confessions will be heard on Fridays at 6:30 P.M. before Stations.<br />

Adoration Chapel<br />

The Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for quiet prayer and meditation.<br />

Operation Rice Bowl<br />

In the spirit of Lenten almsgiving, rice bowls will be available at the entrances to the church. By donating<br />

the proceeds from our Lenten acts of self-denial, we strive to follow the Lord’s command to care for<br />

our less fortunate sisters and brothers.<br />

The Sacrament of Reconciliation<br />

Lent is the primary season of reconciliation in the Church year and everyone is encouraged to receive<br />

this Sacrament during this time. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated each Saturday from 4:00<br />

–5:00 P.M., on Fridays of Lent (excluding Good Friday) at 6:30 P.M. before the Stations of the Cross,<br />

and on the Sundays of Lent, after the 7:00 A.M. Mass and 20 minutes before the 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30<br />

A.M. Masses.<br />

Lenten Catholic Update<br />

A special Lenten Catholic Update is included in today’s bulletin. It provides a reflection for each day<br />

of Lent.<br />

VISITATION, ELMHURST, IL FEBRUARY 26, 2006<br />

Lenten Regulations<br />

Fasting: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast. This binds all Catholics between the ages<br />

of 21 and 59. On days of fast, one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient<br />

to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs, but together they should not equal another<br />

full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, although liquids, including milk and fruit juices,<br />

are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.<br />

Abstinence: Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence for<br />

those over the age of 14. On these days, no meat is allowed.<br />

To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.<br />

Lenten Meal Prayer<br />

Lord Jesus Christ, may our Lenten fasting turn us toward all our brothers and sisters who are in need.<br />

Bless this table, our food and ourselves. Send us through Lent with good cheer, and bring us quickly to<br />

your passover. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.<br />

LENTEN PROMISES: Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving<br />

The Scripture readings for Ash Wednesday challenge us to observe the Lenten season<br />

through the practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.<br />

We invite you to reflect on how you (and your family) will keep these practices over<br />

the next forty days and then make a written commitment to the Lord. Post it somewhere<br />

prominent in your home to remind you of your Lenten promises.<br />

LENTEN PROMISES<br />

During the Season of Lent, I/we promise to do the following:<br />

Prayer _________________________________________________<br />

Fasting ________________________________________________<br />

Almsgiving _____________________________________________<br />

Workin’ My Way Back To You, Lord<br />

Lent is the perfect opportunity to return to our Lord with all<br />

our hearts. Maybe sin has held you back.<br />

Let's listen to the wisdom of St. Augustine. He said that our<br />

Lord is so merciful that He actually shakes with happiness in<br />

the Blessed Sacrament when we come to visit Him. We find it<br />

hard to believe, but it’s the truth. The fact is, our Lord wants<br />

us to visit Him often. He even wants us to come in to see Him<br />

if we happen to be in the state of sin. It’s incredible, but again,<br />

that’s the truth! God even likes to hear the sinner’s prayer! Of<br />

course, He does not condone sin, but He works on attracting<br />

the sinner back to Himself. Yes, God wants to win sinners back<br />

to Himself.<br />

Let’s spend our Lent WORKIN’ OUR WAY BACK to Him!<br />

The Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<br />

Five First Saturday Devotion Reminder<br />

The next first Saturday of the month<br />

is March 4. Please come and accept the<br />

graces which Our Lady wishes to give<br />

to those who complete the Five First<br />

Saturdays devotion. Our Lady revealed<br />

to Sister Lucia (one of the seers of<br />

Fatima) the promise of the Five First Saturdays.<br />

I promise, at the hour of death, to help with the graces needed<br />

for salvation, whoever on the First Saturday of five consecutive<br />

months shall:<br />

• Confess and receive Holy Communion<br />

• Recite five decades of the Rosary<br />

• And keep me company for fifteen minutes while<br />

meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary<br />

with the intention of making reparation to me.<br />

We will honor Our Lady of Fatima’s wishes as we celebrate<br />

the first Saturday devotion on March 4. The devotion<br />

begins with the 8:15 A.M. Mass. We then move to a fifteen<br />

minute guided meditation on the Mysteries of the Most Holy<br />

Rosary and the recitation of the Rosary. At the conclusion, we<br />

recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sacramental<br />

confessions are heard on Saturday afternoons from 4:00–5:00<br />

P.M. and on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 A.M. until noon in<br />

the Church. Confessions may be made one week before or<br />

after the First Saturday of the month.<br />
