Pastor’s Corner<br />
Marathon Sunday in Chicago!<br />
Welcome to all of our many<br />
visitors who are joining us at <strong>Old</strong><br />
<strong>St</strong>. Pat’s, especially our runners<br />
and wheelchair athletes who are<br />
participating in the Chicago<br />
Marathon. We are fortunate<br />
enough to host one of the top five marathons in<br />
the world with almost 45,000 participants who<br />
literally come from every corner of the Earth.<br />
This is a world class event for Chicago, and <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Pat’s is extremely proud to be a participant along<br />
the 26.2 mile course and an “official” cheering<br />
sight for these great athletes. Congratulations to<br />
the thousands of runners who are running on<br />
behalf of another human being who cannot and to<br />
those who have raised more than $4 million<br />
dollars for worthy causes and charities. The<br />
stories of why people choose to do this marathon<br />
are sacred and incredible. Welcome in a special<br />
way to all those who are joining us at the 5 p.m.<br />
Mass today. You get an extra medal for being here<br />
as we ask God’s blessing upon your aches, pains,<br />
and blisters!<br />
If you were with us last weekend, I hope you felt<br />
the contagious energy created as a way of<br />
acknowledging and celebrating the members of<br />
<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s. And what a great Sunday it was with<br />
“opening day” for our dynamic Family Ministries<br />
with Partners, Foundations, and Blueprints<br />
launching into a new year. As I mentioned at all<br />
the Masses, and what was expressed by the<br />
unbelievable staff of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s, we are grateful<br />
you are here and we will never waver at building a<br />
church environment where all are invited and<br />
hospitality is at the center of our gathering. In<br />
creating a place of welcome, we help to establish a<br />
way in which to better welcome the mysteries of<br />
God. It happens not only on Sunday, but in all the<br />
ways we express the mission of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s.<br />
Thank you so very much for your continued<br />
generosity to <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s, and for your continued<br />
consideration of a gift toward the Children at<br />
the Crossroads, our scholarship fund for the<br />
30 percent of the students at Frances Xavier<br />
Warde who could not otherwise afford such a<br />
top rate Catholic education. We are deeply<br />
grateful, ALWAYS!<br />
Fr. Tom Hurley<br />
TODAY’S (FAIR TRADE) MARKET REPORT<br />
On Sunday, Sept. 20, more than 500 hundred people stopped in the church hall<br />
to participate in the Alternative Market sponsored by The Justice Initiative<br />
(<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s Social Justice ministry). Since then, we have been hearing from<br />
many of the exhibitors who participated in this “Season for Social Justice” event.<br />
We would like to share some of their remarks with you, and offer a big “thank you”<br />
to Marilyn Antonik, Mariana Delinck Manley, and their team of volunteers for<br />
planning and hosting this remarkable event.<br />
Honoring the Dignity of Work<br />
Supporting the Rights of Workers<br />
“<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat's Alternative<br />
Market was a success.<br />
The vendors and the<br />
congregation had a good<br />
time and they both<br />
learned about the efforts<br />
of many organizations<br />
in the promoting of<br />
buying Fair Trade and<br />
respecting the dignity<br />
of workers globally.<br />
All of you did a<br />
FANTASTIC job. The<br />
space looked great and<br />
bright. I have done my<br />
share of events at<br />
church/temple<br />
basements, but yours<br />
was by far the nicest<br />
and brightest of all.”<br />
Ana Bermudez, Kiichpan<br />
“That's awesome that 500 people shopped!<br />
I can tell you the turnout for your event is really<br />
encouraging and says a lot about the character<br />
of the people who are members of your church.<br />
I often have seen people who come to these<br />
things who are very disinterested or simply<br />
don't understand Fair Trade. All the shoppers<br />
I interacted with were very interested and<br />
knowledgeable. Even if they didn't know much<br />
about Fair Trade, they were very inquisitive,<br />
and I had many opportunities to share with<br />
them the good work of Fair Trade. Thank you.<br />
<strong>St</strong>ephanie, MATA Traders<br />
“Congratulations to the Justice Initiative for<br />
putting together an event that highlights the<br />
plight of workers, not just in the U.S. but around<br />
the world. It was very encouraging to see<br />
people’s eagerness to hear the stories behind the<br />
wares. At our table, people who had never heard<br />
of Interfaith Worker Justice before were signingup<br />
and asking for ways to get more involved.”<br />

SEASON FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE<br />
“I really appreciate being invited to your<br />
event. I met a lot of great people. I think it<br />
is really clear, from my conversations with<br />
some of your members and friends, this is a<br />
group of positive, wonderful people that<br />
really want to live by their values. Thanks!”<br />
Brent Whistler, ArteVida<br />
“This was an incredibly well organized<br />
event. It was easy for vendors and<br />
customers alike to chat, network, and share<br />
information and products. We had a great<br />
time meeting some of the wonderful people<br />
of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s and we would love to be a<br />
part of the next Alternative Market!”<br />
Cassie, The Green Grocer<br />
“Thanks so much for your hospitality today.<br />
It was a great market and I had a lot of fun! I<br />
met some fantastic people I hope to form<br />
relationships with, as well as the friendly<br />
members of the church. I can't tell you how<br />
much you guys stand out from other events<br />
by your organization as well as hospitality.<br />
Katherine, Katherine Anne Confections<br />
“Fair Earth was delighted to be<br />
involved in <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat's<br />
Alternative Market. We had a<br />
delightful morning, surrounded<br />
by a myriad of vendors with a<br />
large variety of fair trade and<br />
socially conscious goods, as well<br />
as a crowd of amazing people<br />
interested in supporting these<br />
endeavors. Thank you for<br />
providing this opportunity for<br />
fair trade products to reach such<br />
a great group of interested<br />
people! The fact everyone's<br />
support and efforts are reaching<br />
far into the lives of people all<br />
over the globe makes us all the<br />
more connected. Thanks again.”<br />
Holly Elzinga, Fair Earth<br />

AWAKENINGS<br />
LIVING IN TO OUR BAPTISMAL IDENTITY: A SPRINT OR A MARATHON<br />
BY TERRY NELSON-JOHNSON<br />
Two or three weeks ago, I stood in the sanctuary of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s <strong>Church</strong> straining to ably fulfill my role as<br />
godfather for the daughter of my dear friends. Not unexpectably, but no less delightfully, it was a great<br />
celebration. Fr. Tom Hurley was on his game. Lots of friends and family gathered to affirm the celebration and<br />
the declaration this little precious girl is indeed Loved: Ridiculously, Irrevocably, Passionately, Intimately,<br />
<strong>St</strong>eadfastly Loved by God; by her parents (and godparents!); by her extended family; by her church. People<br />
laughed. People cried. A lavish and joyful post-celebration gathering further extended the festivities. Many<br />
people held, marveled over, delighted in, and snuggled with the newly baptized.<br />
During the course of the last few weeks, if anyone happened to ask my friends if their beautiful daughter was baptized we can only<br />
imagine them responding with a certain pride and wonder; “Oh YES, our daughter was baptized a few weeks ago at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s — it<br />
was quite a celebration!” Had I been present at the time of the question and the response, assuming my most authoritative<br />
godfatherly persona, I would have offered a gentle corrective: To say this beautiful (and VERY cooperative) little girl was baptized on<br />
a particular day in September 2009 at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s <strong>Church</strong>, is to suggest somehow her baptism is over; that it already happened;<br />
that it is historical; that it has been taken care of and thus can be taken off the “to do” list; that all the paperwork is in place when it<br />
will be needed in order to sign her up for and subsequently fulfill future sacramental obligations . . . ah, but my experience as a human<br />
being, as a son, as a husband, as a father, as a godfather, as a spiritual director, as a “street theologian,” as a participant on and<br />
companion with the hundreds who have made the Beloved Retreat tells me that what transpired in the sanctuary of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s<br />
church, however beautiful and efficacious, was merely the formal beginning of a Baptismal Odyssey. In my experience the reality of<br />
baptism — the felt knowledge and conviction we are indeed loved by the author of love is definitely a marathon as opposed to a sprint.<br />
One can only imagine the effort those marathoners running past <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s on Sunday, Oct. 11, have expended in anticipation of<br />
today’s run (having run the Chicago Marathon on a number of occasions, I can imagine!) It seems to me this is the kind of effort that<br />
will be demanded in order that the baptismal miracle that was begun in our sanctuary might be brought to fruition years from now in<br />
the person of a beautiful self-possessed woman who has come to know herself as loved . . . as baptized! We all need to be reminded of<br />
our baptismal identity. My friends, and their church will have to remind that precious little girl over and over again who she really is:<br />
In the middle of a scary night: You are loved — Baptized.<br />
Post scraped knee: You are loved — Baptized.<br />
Letting go, reluctantly, of mom’s leg in order to go to school for the first time:<br />
You are loved — Baptized.<br />
First recital “gone bad” — You are loved — Baptized.<br />
Braces – lots and lots of them: You are loved — Baptized.<br />
Pre-pubescent “chubby era:”<br />
You are loved — Baptized.<br />
Having her life “ruined” for the umpteenth time by her parents who just DON’T UNDERSTAND:<br />
You are loved — Baptized.<br />
First broken heart: You are loved — Baptized.<br />
And on and on and on: You are loved — Baptized.<br />
ALL effort to contribute to this tiny little girl’s baptismal identity will have been well worth it — because to know, to really know<br />
yourself as baptized is to be free, and freedom is our ultimate destiny.<br />
Anyone looking for a few baptismal marathon training partners might want to consider joining us for the 29th annual Beloved Retreat<br />
to be held on the weekend of Nov. 20 - 22. The hope of the retreat is to help all participants to remember, to really remember they are<br />
baptized. . . free. If this sounds intriguing, please contact Tammy Roeder to register at 312 .831.9350.<br />

OLD ST. PAT’S JUSTICE INITIATIVE<br />
Ten Thousand Villages to Sell Fair Trade Items at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s<br />
Sunday, Oct. 25<br />
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.<br />
Ten Thousand Villages, a local (Evanston) Fair Trade store, returns to <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s on<br />
Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009.<br />
Purchase Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, or any of the hundreds of unique handcrafted items<br />
made available from Ten Thousand Villages while, at the same time, contributing to greater<br />
economic justice. Hosted by The <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s <strong>Church</strong> Justice Initiative, the sale is a great<br />
opportunity to get an early start on holiday shopping!<br />
The sale also continues the theme of our recently concluded Season for Social Justice: Honoring<br />
the Dignity of Work and Supporting the Rights of Workers. Fair Trade items are produced by<br />
artisans throughout the world who otherwise would be unemployed or underemployed. Through<br />
the Fair Trade movement, artisans and growers earn a fair price for their labor, get access to credit<br />
and training, and develop mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with organizations dedicated<br />
to the principles of human dignity and economic justice.<br />
Come view these quality products from thirty-eight countries that are both beautiful and unusual.<br />
Many newly arrived items will be featured, so even if you have shopped Ten Thousand Villages<br />
before, you will want to stop in the church hall to see what’s new.<br />
Since the store is staffed primarily by volunteers, the prices are very reasonable. Ten Thousand<br />
Villages accepts credit cards, checks, or cash. Give a gift that gives twice and savor the flavor of<br />
justice when you join us for some shopping on Sunday, Oct. 25 in the church hall.<br />
Trade with a Conscience<br />
Men and women around the world have a simple dream — to earn an honest living, to provide for<br />
their children, and to be gainfully employed in a job that brings dignity and joy. Ten Thousand<br />
Villages partners with thousands of talented artisans in healthy business relationships.<br />
Often referred to as “Fair Trade,” their philosophy of helping to build a sustainable future is based<br />
on the principle that trade should have a conscience. Through Fair Trade, artisans receive the<br />
respect, dignity, and hope that comes from working hard and earning fair value for their work.<br />
Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit, self-supporting alternative trading organization (ATO). ATOs<br />
are non-governmental organizations designed to benefit artisans, not to maximize profits. They<br />
market products from handicraft and agricultural organizations throughout the world. ATOs put fair<br />
trade into practice and campaign for more equitable terms of trade for artisans from low-income<br />
countries. More than one hundred stores nationwide allow Ten Thousand Villages to provide vital,<br />
fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories.<br />
Through careful monitoring and strict adherence to fair trade practices, consumers can be<br />
confident they are buying items that have been fairly purchased from sustainable sources and<br />
support the rights and dignity of workers.<br />
<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s proudly serves Fair Trade coffee at all our meetings and events.<br />

DEVELOPMENT<br />
Membership through Spirit, Gifts and Service<br />
What is Sunday Giving Commitment<br />
The Sunday Giving Commitment (SGC) is the name for ordinary Sunday giving throughout the year by members of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Patrick’s <strong>Church</strong>. The vital component to the Sunday Giving Commitment is the Member Planning Card, where members<br />
pledge their intended Sunday giving for the year. These gifts are the primary resource that supports the annual<br />
operational expenses of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s and allows the staff and volunteer leadership to honor the budget and<br />
thoughtfully plan for the year’s life enriching Liturgies, programs, and ministries. The Sunday Giving Commitment is a<br />
critical planning tool needed to effectively host an active mission through the spirit, gifts, and service of the community!<br />
Did You Know…<br />
• The SGC allows <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s the tools to budget and plan wisely for the year by knowing an estimate of<br />
what gifts are pledged to be received by Dec. 31, 2010.<br />
• Electronic Giving is an easy, environmental, and cost effective way to plan and contribute your gifts to<br />
<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Patrick’s.<br />
• Sunday Giving Commitment is the expression by the community to actively live the mission of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s.<br />

Oct. 18 Blood Drive<br />
The <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s annual Blood<br />
Drive, operated by the American<br />
Red Cross, is an excellent opportunity for you to donate blood.<br />
Donating blood is a perfect way to give thanks to God for His gifts of<br />
life and health. In this modern world of PC’s, cell phones, flat screen<br />
televisions, and GPS, mankind has created amazing products, but<br />
there is one product that cannot be manufactured in a factory or<br />
lab...human blood! You are the only source.<br />
Did you know more than 85 percent of the world’s population will<br />
need blood during their lifetime while less than five percent actually<br />
donate That is why there is always a shortage.<br />
Did you know it is very beneficial for healthy people to donate<br />
blood When you donate, it causes your body to create new and<br />
fresh blood cells. It is like an oil change for your car.<br />
You can make donating blood a family event as there is no maximum<br />
age for donating blood as long as you are in good health. The<br />
minimum age for donating is 17; a 16-year-old can donate with a<br />
parent’s consent.<br />
Mark your calendar for the next <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s Blood Drive: Sunday,<br />
Nov. 8 from 7 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. in the church hall.<br />

OLD ST. PAT’S YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY<br />
Vespers, the evening prayer of the <strong>Church</strong>, is a<br />
part of the <strong>Church</strong>’s “Liturgy of the Hours.”<br />
Christians throughout the world and throughout<br />
the centuries celebrate the rhythm of each day<br />
marking different “hours” with prayers of<br />
thanksgiving, praise, and hope, and celebrating<br />
the presence of God in our lives — in the simple<br />
and profound moments of each day.<br />
We’ve all Been Invited …<br />
to join in the celebration of Vespers<br />
Wednesday night, Oct. 14, 21, and 28<br />
from 6:30 – 7 p.m. in the church hosted<br />
by the young adults of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s.<br />
Reflective Music <strong>St</strong>arts at 6:15 p.m.<br />
When evening approaches and<br />
the day is already far spent,<br />
evening prayer is celebrated<br />
in order that<br />
“we may give thanks for what has<br />
been given us, or what we have done<br />
well, during the day.”<br />
We also recall the redemption<br />
through the prayer we send up<br />
“like incense in the Lord’s sight,”<br />
and in which<br />
“the raising up of our hands”<br />
becomes “an evening sacrifice.”<br />

Exodus World Service Welcome to America<br />
We asked, and you gave generously!<br />
<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s Young Adult Ministry and Connections would like to<br />
express appreciation to all those who participated in the Exodus<br />
World Service Household Goods Drive for Refugees last month.<br />
Through your generous donations of time, talent, and treasure,<br />
we were able to create several "Welcome to America" packs for<br />
refugee families. This exceeded our goal of one pack for our<br />
primary family. The goods were promptly delivered to families<br />
from Iraq and Bhutan. Both countries have been ravaged by war<br />
and conflict. The families are very grateful for your generosity<br />
and assistance!<br />
Those who bring sunshine<br />
to the lives of others<br />
cannot keep it from themselves.<br />

People You Should Know<br />
Barbara and Paul Doran<br />
Q. How long have you both been volunteering at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s<br />
A. We have been volunteers for four years.<br />
Q. Tell us a little about your ministry or volunteer position(s):<br />
A. We are both involved with Sunday Mass: Barbara is a lector, and we are both<br />
Eucharistic Ministers. We recently became involved with RCIA and the PreCana<br />
Program. Paul is a wedding volunteer. We have volunteered at the World’s Largest<br />
Block Party and the Pentecost Project.<br />
Q. What prompted you to choose this area in which to volunteer<br />
A. We are both transplants to Chicago and participating at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s has been like<br />
joining a family. We were regulars at the 5 p.m. Mass. We wanted to have a more<br />
intimate experience of Mass and that is why we became Liturgical ministers. We<br />
became interested in RCIA after having traveled to the Holy Land with Fr. Tom Hurley<br />
and attending the Easter Vigil. We wanted to be with people who willingly want to<br />
become Catholic and become members of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s.<br />
Q. What is the most significant aspect of your volunteer experience<br />
A. Being able to give back our time to programs and events hosted by <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s — by<br />
helping out when and wherever there is a need. By volunteering, we are contributing<br />
to community building that is the essence of <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s. We sign-up for events<br />
whenever possible. It is a wonderful feeling knowing so many people have the same<br />
values and respect for <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s and its mission that we share.<br />
Q. Our church’s mission is centered on hospitality; where or how do you host this<br />
experience of hospitality outside our sacred space<br />
A. In the past, we would go out to dinner with a group of people from the 5 p.m. Mass.<br />
In the beginning of the year we came up with the idea of hosting potlucks at<br />
people’s homes — rotating the place and everyone contributing a dish. The intent was<br />
to create a Sunday family dinner experience — it worked! Our “family” at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Pat’s is constantly expanding and we are continuously forming closer relationships with<br />
the people we see on a regular basis at Mass. We think a big part of this is the fact<br />
we are Eucharistic Ministers every Sunday and are constantly interacting with the<br />
people we meet. We are truly blessed to be a part of the <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s community.<br />
Q. Why do you volunteer at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s, and what rewards do you reap<br />
as a volunteer<br />
A. Neither of us have blood relations in Chicago, but Chicago is where we call home. The<br />
relationships at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s are some of the most genuine we have experienced in our<br />
lives. We are continuously looking for ways to become more involved, to share our own<br />
experiences with others, and to make them feel as welcome as we have at <strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s.<br />
Q. What advice would you give to someone who is considering becoming<br />
a volunteer<br />
A. It is a great way to give back to this wonderful church of ours and to meet other<br />
people who share the same values and beliefs.<br />
Q. What do you do for a living; do you volunteer anywhere else outside of<br />
<strong>Old</strong> <strong>St</strong>. Pat’s<br />
A. Barbara is a certified nurse midwife working with impoverished communities on<br />
Chicago’s Southwest Side, and Paul is a financial consultant.<br />

Optional memorial of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Margaret Mary Alacoque<br />
(religious 1647 – 1690)<br />
In the seventeenth century, many<br />
Christians in France were being<br />
taught that perhaps only a few<br />
people could ever reach heaven.<br />
This false idea was called<br />
Jansenism. At just the time when this idea was<br />
doing its greatest damage, Margaret Mary came to a<br />
special understanding of God’s mercy. She was<br />
chosen by Christ to arouse the <strong>Church</strong> to a realization<br />
of the love of God symbolized by the heart of Jesus.<br />
Margaret Mary Alacoque was born in a small town in<br />
Burgundy, France. She had many difficulties in<br />
childhood, including the death of her father, a serious<br />
illness, and trouble with relatives of the family.<br />
After considering marriage for some time, she<br />
entered the Order of Visitation nuns at the age of 24.<br />
After being a nun for three years, she received the<br />
first of her revelations. The request of Christ was<br />
that his love for humankind be made evident through<br />
her. During the next 13 months, He appeared to her<br />
at intervals. His human heart was to be the symbol of<br />
his divine-human love. By her own love she was to<br />
make up for the coldness and ingratitude of the world<br />
— by frequent and loving Holy Communion,<br />
especially on the first Friday of each month, and by<br />
an hour's vigil of prayer every Thursday night in<br />
memory of His agony and isolation in Gethsemane.<br />
He also asked that a feast day be instituted.<br />
Margaret Mary felt called to let people know about<br />
this love.<br />
Like all saints, Margaret had to pay for her gift of<br />
holiness. Some of her own sisters were hostile, and<br />
theologians who were called in declared her visions<br />
delusions and suggested that she eat more heartily.<br />
Later, parents of children she taught called her an<br />
impostor, an unorthodox innovator. Against her great<br />
resistance, however, Christ called her to be a<br />
sacrificial victim for the shortcomings of her own<br />
sisters, and to make His love known.<br />
Margaret died at the age of 43 while being anointed.<br />
"I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the<br />
heart of Jesus." The convent eventually began to<br />
observe a feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and<br />
later, a chapel was built there to honor Christ under<br />
that title. After Margaret’s death, the observance<br />
became a feast of the whole church.<br />
