parishioners would like a visit from a priest or deacon. Catholic chaplains are assigned to area<br />

hospitals to administer the Sacraments. <strong>Visitation</strong> parish priests visit Elmhurst Hospital twice a<br />

week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

PARISH BUSINESS<br />

The Year of Faith<br />

Pope Benedict XVI has declared that beginning <strong>Oct</strong>ober 11, <strong>2012</strong>, and concluding on the<br />

feast of Christ the King, November 24, 2013, the Church celebrates “The Year of Faith.” Two<br />

important events mark the beginning of this yearlong celebration. First is the 50 th anniversary<br />

of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, and the second is the 20 th anniversary of the<br />

publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Both of these events helped the Church<br />

to renew her commitment and to deepen her understanding of the faith. In this special year,<br />

we too are called to strengthen our faith and to renew our commitment to God. Through<br />

prayer and reflection, reading and studying, and sharing our faith with others we can best<br />

enter into this great celebration. Throughout this year, our <strong>Parish</strong> Pastoral Council will be<br />

assisting me with events and programs to mark this yearlong celebration, and to help our<br />

<strong>Parish</strong> mark The Year of Faith.<br />

Fr. Huggins<br />

Why is the First <strong>Sunday</strong> in <strong>Oct</strong>ober<br />

Designated as Respect Life <strong>Sunday</strong><br />

This <strong>Sunday</strong> we focus on the Christian mission to Respect<br />

Life. The phrase captures the core of Jesus’ teaching expressed<br />

in Matthew 25: “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers<br />

and sisters, you do to me.”<br />

Jesus clearly states that our relationship to God is determined<br />

by our relationships with one another. This demands<br />

that Christians be attuned to anything that would diminish life<br />

at all its stages. From the womb to tomb, from birth to death,<br />

and at every stage between, we are called to treat all of life<br />

with dignity, respect, honor and reverence.<br />

Catholics are often seen as people who do respect life. Our<br />

efforts to end abortion or prevent embryonic stem cell research<br />

are well–known. Less publicized are the efforts made to assist<br />

those in prison, those dying of starvation or unsanitary living<br />

conditions, those dying because of systemic violence or abuse,<br />

or the thousands who die from the violence of war.<br />

The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin clearly stated that all<br />

Christians are called to approach human life with a consistent<br />

ethic which he called “the seamless garment.” We are to spend as<br />

much effort to fight war, poverty, hunger, death penalty and other<br />

life issues as we do on abortion and embryonic stem cell research.<br />

How seamless is your “respect life” garment How can you<br />

make sure that a consistent ethic of life is part of your Christian<br />

journey ©2007 Liturgical Publications Inc, New Berlin, WI 53151.<br />

Respect Life Crosses<br />

Over the past several years it has been the tradition at <strong>Visitation</strong><br />

<strong>Parish</strong> to display white memorial crosses on the front lawn of the<br />

church during the month of <strong>Oct</strong>ober, which is observed as Respect<br />

Life Month. These 4,000 crosses represent the number of children<br />

who are killed by abortions each day in our country. Some are<br />

upset that we have this display. Seeing these crosses should be<br />

unsettling for us, as we are reminded of the millions of our brothers<br />

and sisters lost in this holocaust of the unborn since the legalization<br />

of abortion in the United States in 1973.<br />

As you pass these crosses during the next couple of weeks, be<br />

sure to offer prayer for these “holy innocents,” for their mothers<br />

and all those touched by the tragedy of abortion, and for our<br />

country, that we may turn away from the culture of death and<br />

embrace the Gospel of Life. Let us work for the day when all<br />

human life is protected under law and this display in no longer<br />

necessary. Thank you to our parishioners whose dedication to<br />

the cause of life makes this memorial display possible each year.<br />

On the back of the funeral prayer card for former Rep. Henry<br />

Hyde (a great pro–life advocate in Congress), was a quote from<br />

one of the Congressman’s speeches:<br />

When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome<br />

moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton<br />

Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no<br />

advocates, you are there alone standing before God—and a terror<br />

will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really<br />

think that those in the pro–life movement will not be alone. I<br />

think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in<br />

this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world<br />

and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement.<br />

They will say to God, ‘Spare him because he loved us,’ and God<br />

will look at you and say not, ‘Did you succeed’but ‘Did you try’<br />

SCHOOL<br />

MANNA—R.E. & <strong>Visitation</strong> School Tuition Assistance Program<br />

This past week 41 <strong>Visitation</strong> Grade School and other organization families purchased $15,371 in gift certificates through our<br />

MANNA program. The earned tuition credit for the past week was $883. It would be a tremendous help to have more <strong>Visitation</strong> families<br />

participate to a greater degree in our program. We all buy groceries, dine out and shop at department stores. When you purchase<br />

$100 in gift certificates through our program, you are getting exactly $100 in certificate value. The certificate discount is returned to<br />

participating families in the form of a tuition credit. There is absolutely NO cost to you for using this program. <strong>Visitation</strong> school families<br />

who participate receive the discount in a tuition credit. When non–school families participate, the school benefits. The larger the<br />

volume of certificates we can purchase, the greater the discount.<br />

Our program has exceeded annual sales of nearly $100,000 in Scholar Dollars. This is more than any other school in Elmhurst.<br />

Just think about this. Approximately $9,000 in tuition credit has been earned by our school families from the sales of this one certificate.<br />

The scholar dollars may be used at any of over 80 City Centre participating stores and restaurants at a huge 9% discount. For<br />

every $100 in Scholar Dollars purchased through our program, $9 is earned in credit toward your family tuition. For your convenience,<br />

the participating stores and restaurants are printed on the reverse side of the certificate. We are extremely grateful to the City<br />

of Elmhurst for inviting <strong>Visitation</strong> School into this program. Please help to return the favor by doing most of your shopping in your<br />

local community and by thanking the stores for giving up a part of their profit by participating in the Scholar Dollar Program.<br />

Now you can visit the school website (www.visitationelmhurst.org) to view or print our most recent updated MANNA Order Form. For<br />

additional information or to place a large order, please call David James at 630-834-0967 before 6:00 P.M. <strong>Sunday</strong> evening.<br />

Public Square Rosary Crusade<br />

America is at a historic crossroads. Secularists are trying to<br />

push God from the public square. They reject His beneficial<br />

action upon society. But without God, where will our leaders<br />

get the wisdom to solve the great problems we face<br />

We must stop the secularist advance and pray to God for<br />

help. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of<br />

His Blessed Mother. That’s why we’re launching the <strong>2012</strong><br />

Public Square Rosary Crusade.<br />

In The Secret Of The Rosary, Saint Louis de Montfort<br />

said “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer<br />

to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and<br />

the Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has<br />

always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy<br />

and suffering.”<br />

Join the 2011 Public Square Rosary Crusade today.<br />

Crusaders Adore Our Lord<br />

At The Perpetual Adoration Chapel<br />

Late one Friday evening, I was praying in the Adoration<br />

Chapel. There were only about four adorers. As I was reading a<br />

book about Eucharistic Adoration, I heard the door to Adoration<br />

Chapel open, and I saw at least fifteen young people ranging from<br />

twelve years of age to college age walk into the Chapel, get down<br />

on both knees and reverently bow down before the Blessed<br />

Sacrament. As they knelt down in the pews and gazed upon Jesus<br />

in the Eucharist, one could tell that they all were in deep prayer.<br />

It was quite obvious that they were all praying for some thing<br />

very important and special to them. The power, energy, and sincerity<br />

of their prayer could be felt throughout the whole Chapel.<br />

Whenever I see our youth in the Chapel, it always makes me<br />

feel good and more positive about the world in which we live. It<br />

tells me that these young people are properly setting their priorities.<br />

This group of young people could have easily been spending<br />

a Friday night at a football game, at a movie, or just “hanging out”<br />

with friends. Instead they chose to spend their evening with Jesus.<br />

When I exited the Adoration Chapel, I saw a couple of the<br />

youth who just finished praying in the Chapel. I started up a conversation<br />

with them, and they told me that they are a part of a<br />

group called “The Crusaders for Life,” a Pro–life youth group<br />

from St. John Cantius <strong>Parish</strong> in Chicago. They were from<br />

Chicago and the surrounding suburbs and they frequently come<br />

to visit <strong>Visitation</strong>’s Adoration Chapel and other Adoration<br />

Chapels in the area to pray for the unborn and for an end to abortion.<br />

One of the young men told me that he was excited about<br />

and looking forward to being a part of the March for Life in<br />

Washington, D.C. this January. Throughout the year, this youth<br />

group also prays for the unborn at abortion clinics.<br />

During <strong>Oct</strong>ober—Respect Life Month—follow the good<br />

example of The Crusaders for Life and spend some time in front<br />

of the Blessed Sacrament to pray for the sanctity of life. And also<br />

pray for our youth. These young people are good role models for<br />

us all and they are the Catholic Church’s present and future. We<br />

all should be proud of not only their love for the Lord, but also<br />

their love and respect for life!<br />

Jesus is waiting for your visit to the Perpetual Adoration<br />

Chapel. You can visit with Him 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.<br />

Rosebud Program Intentions<br />

In our calling to respect the dignity and worth of all life, the Elizabeth Ministry requests that you please remember<br />

in your prayers the following intentions placed at the statue of the <strong>Visitation</strong> this past week:<br />

2 intentions for those who are pregnant and their unborn babies.<br />

2 intentions for those families celebrating births and/or adoptions.<br />

1 intention for those grieving a miscarriage, still birth, abortion or infant or child death.<br />

2 intentions remembering those wanting to conceive or adopt.<br />

Dear <strong>Visitation</strong> Council of Catholic Women,<br />

It is a pleasure to send my greetings and congratulations<br />

as you celebrate your 60 th Anniversary. The CCW has<br />

always been one of the most vibrant organizations at<br />

<strong>Visitation</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>. As Pastor, I always knew I could count on<br />

your assistance. Through your many and varied programs<br />

and activities, you have strived to provide spiritual, service<br />

and social opportunities for the women of <strong>Visitation</strong>, as well<br />

as helping to support the work of the parish and its ministries.<br />

Working together, you have accomplished wonderful<br />

things for the Church and we are reminded of what can<br />

be done when we allow the Holy Spirit to unite us in faith,<br />

hope and love in the service of God’s people.<br />

This time of remembrance is also a time to prayerfully<br />

give thanks for those women who have preceded you for the<br />

past 60 years. This is a wonderful way of recognizing that<br />

you build on the legacy of those who have gone before you.<br />
