Perspectives From Fr. Kurt: Our Parish Family
The Third Sunday of Easter
Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Patrick;
Last Sunday afternoon, April 7 th , I happily and proudly
made the drive up to Mundelein Seminary to be part of
the installation ceremony of Larry Oskielunas into the
official office of Reader. Larry is now one step closer to
serving us and the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago
as an ordained Permanent Deacon. It was great to be
with Larry, Roseanne his wife, their children, his Mom
and Dad, his classmates, their families, his teacher, and
Bishop Joseph Perry, Auxilliary Bishop of Chicago, to
celebrate this major step of faith in his life. As part of the
official ceremony, Larry received a white outer garment
known as an alb which is a “public statement” that he
desires to serve the Lord as one ordained among us. In
the weeks and months ahead, as Larry continues his studies,
discernment, and transition into the future role as a
public, ordained minister, you will see him wearing this
white robe as he proclaims the Word of God, shares the
body and blood of Jesus Christ, teaches us, prays with us
and shares his reflections among us of how the Gospel of
the Lord, Jesus calls us to greatness in the world today.
Congratulations Larry and Roseanne! We are very proud
of you both and promise our prayers for you and all your
loved ones.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for
your generous Easter contributions. As of this writing,
the Easter Collection is well above $16,000.00. I know
some were out of town this Easter to be with loved ones
throughout our country and beyond, so, I am sure the collection
results will need to be updated. Please remember,
as I am sure you already know, that the Good News of
the Gospel only has a chance to be shared in the world
today through your generosity and mine. Thank you
again for believing in the mission of Jesus Christ, our
Risen Savior.
This weekend, I hope you will join me in
welcoming Ms. Jane Doyle among us.
She will be speaking at all of the Masses
this weekend including the 5pm Tri-Parish
Sunday Mass. Jane is one of the leaders
of our Master Planning Committee, and
she will be speaking to us about what our
Capital Campaign can look like if we wish
to make some improvements to beautify these sacred
grounds as we celebrate 175 years together and beyond in
faith. Ultimately, you, the good people of St. Patrick’s
will let the committee and me know how to proceed. As
we journey together, I guess I would like to put this one
question before us all. If not now, when
Would you join me in prayer for our brothers
and sisters of faith at St. Cyril and
Methodius Parish right here in Lemont As
you probably know by now, a major transition
in leadership will be taking place by
this July 1 st . Our brothers and sisters down
the road and up the hill a bit, will be losing their
loving Pastor, Father Larry, and their fun filled,
smiley Associate, Father Marcin. Whenever I
stop by St. Cyril’s to help with various celebrations,
meetings, or gatherings, I am reminded of
how lucky I have been to be welcomed by two
outstanding priests who have continued to teach
me what it means to work with a team, a Tri-Parish model
of the Vatican II Church. Father Marcin, with all my
teasing, which you have accepted always in a good natured
way, I want you to know I have enjoyed very much
your youth-filled spirit in my life and in the life of the
community of Lemont. I and the people of St. Patrick,
wish you only the best! And to you, Father Larry, thank
you for warmly welcoming me to Lemont, calling us together
as brother priests, young and old alike, and loving
staffs. I will miss you amigo! All the best! Would you
like to come back as an inspiring speaker
Finally, dear friends, some health issues have recently
cropped into my life! Many of you who gather with me
in the journey of faith know this reality as well. I appreciate
your love, prayers, advice, and support during this
time.
So I know you want only the best for me as I want only
the best for you. In that spirit, I want you to know that I
am under a Doctor’s supervision at this time. I am undergoing
some testing procedures that may take a while to
produce results. What I do want you to know is this – the
issues I am dealing with are not life threatening. However,
under my Doctor’s recommendation, it is clear for
now some things have to change. This will definitely
involve how Communion is administered at major celebrations
here for the foreseeable future. There will be
more Eucharistic Ministers assigned and maybe even a
new “Communion Traffic Pattern” re-designed.
On a personal note, I will need to take more seriously my
diet, a regular exercise regimen, some time for rest on a
more regular basis, and in the words of my Spiritual Director,
realizing there is “only one Lord and Savior
among us!”
With Easter peace and joy,

Dear Fr. Kurt and the People of St. Patrick:
Dear Parishioners of St. Patrick’s Parish,
March 25th 2013
I’d like to take this occasion to thank the congregation at
St. Patrick’s Parish in Lemont for the kind and gracious hospitality
extended to me during my visit in which I celebrated Palm
Sunday Saturday Evening Mass. I loved sharing the celebration
of the Eucharist with Fr. Kurt and all of you. I so greatly appreciated
the opportunity to talk about Mercy Home for Boys and
Girls and Sunday Mass at Mercy Home.
Mercy Home for Boys and Girls has been a solution for kids
in crisis since 1887. Our residential, aftercare, and mentoring
programs provide safety and opportunity for more than 600 kids
every year. Mercy Home simply would not be able to continue
this life saving work without good people like you.
If you would care to support either or both of these ministries
of our Church, gifts can be made out to “Mercy Home for
Boys and Girls” or “Sunday Mass at Mercy Home” and sent to
1140 W. Jackson Blvd. Chicago, IL 60607. On behalf of all of us
a Mercy Home, I pray that you and your loved ones have a joyous
and peaceful Easter Celebration.
Blessings,
Fr. Scott Donahue, President/CEO
Mercy Home for Boys and Girls
I will have the joy of ordaining ten men
to the priesthood this year for our Archdiocese.
I am impressed by their enthusiasm
and commitment to the Lord and his people.
They will be a wonderful addition to the Archdiocese and
will collaborate well with other ministers who serve our
parish communities. The Ordination is scheduled for
Saturday, May 18, 2013, 10:00a.m., at Holy Name Cathedral.
Thank you for your support of all those who are preparing
for priesthood as well as those who are discerning
a call to priestly service. Your examples
of dedication are a great encouragement
and support for these young men. Please
keep them in your prayers.
Yours in Christ,
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
Archbishop of Chicago
February 7th 2013
Dear Fr. Boras,
Please accept my heartfelt
gratitude for your support.
Your contribution of $1,642.25 will be designated for Our
Lady of the Assumption Church in Beaumont, Texas.
Last year was full of many successes and accomplishments.
And with donors such as you, I am certain that we
can do even more to strengthen and extend the work of
the Church across the U.S. in 2013.
I am deeply grateful that you have chosen to be part of
such an important group supporting this crucial work.
Gratefully,
Rev. John J. Wall
President

Each year during Holy Week,
the students of St. Alphonsus-
St. Patrick School are blessed
to be able to participate in
traditional presentations that
help them recall the passion
and death of Jesus. On
Wednesday of Holy Week, the
8 th grade students performed
a Living Stations of the Cross from the point of
view of one of the Roman centurions present at the
crucifixion. This moving reenactment set the tone
for entry into the Triduum. On Holy Thursday, the
first day of the Triduum, the 5 th grade students performed
a very thought provoking and moving reenactment
of the Last Supper. Their fellow students
in Kindergarten through grade 4 came to witness
the dramatization/prayer service along with
many other guests. Also on Holy Thursday, the students
in grades 6 through 8 participated in a Seder
Meal prayer service. All of these experiences helped
our students
live
out memories
that
are central
to our
Catholic
Confirmation Practice
