Dear People of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Patrick</strong>:<br />
Perspectives From Fr. Kurt: Our Parish Family<br />
Alleluia! Jesus Chri<strong>st</strong> Is Risen! It Is True!<br />
In my name and in the name of all of our <strong>st</strong>aff here<br />
at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Patrick</strong>, I wish you and all who gather with us this<br />
Ea<strong>st</strong>er weekend, a very <<strong>st</strong>rong>happy</<strong>st</strong>rong>, holy, and blessed season<br />
where we celebrate the Lord’s “new life” among us.<br />
I welcome all those who come to celebrate with us<br />
regularly, all those who are coming back to visit family<br />
and friends, those joining us for the fir<strong>st</strong> time, and those<br />
perhaps re-connecting with us after some time away for<br />
whatever reason. I believe we all need to remember on<br />
this joyous weekend that nothing can ever separate us<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> the love of God, not even death itself!<br />
I want to thank all those who gave of themselves so<br />
generously to make this Holy Season so “life-giving.”<br />
To those who decorated our <strong>Church</strong> so beautifully<br />
under the leadership of Ms. Shari Simone and our Art<br />
and Environment Committee, to our Liturgy Team who<br />
helped us focus in a prayerful spirit under the<br />
leadership of Ms. Linda O’Connor, to those who helped<br />
us raise our voices in song under the leadership of Mr.<br />
Neil Windt, our Director of Music, and Mrs. Susan<br />
Raymond, our Youth Choir Conductor, to those who<br />
served at our liturgies, to our ushers who greeted you<br />
with open arms, to our lectors, mini<strong>st</strong>ers of<br />
Communion, and our prie<strong>st</strong> celebrants – I say a very<br />
“heartfelt thank you.” This weekend is indeed special.<br />
My hope and prayer as your Pa<strong>st</strong>or is that the Spirit of<br />
Ea<strong>st</strong>er peace, life, and joy may continue among us in<br />
the months to come.<br />
Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday<br />
April 8, 2012<br />
Speaking of life among us here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Patrick</strong>, I<br />
want you to know that I attended an Archdiocesan<br />
meeting with several members of our parish faith<br />
community to assess ways that we could continue to<br />
take care of our “sacred gathering spaces” and continue<br />
to bring the life of the Gospel message to others. To<br />
learn and to see with new eyes of faith how our parish<br />
family has 27 mini<strong>st</strong>ries that serve the needs of the<br />
people of <strong>Lemont</strong> and beyond, was truly inspiring to<br />
me! Driving home with the folks who attended that<br />
meeting with me, I heard in them a passion, of how we<br />
could <strong>st</strong>ill be doing more for the greater glory of God.<br />
My guess is, there will be new mini<strong>st</strong>ries emerging<br />
among us in the year ahead. Please visit our website<br />
and review the ways <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Patrick</strong>’s people try to reach<br />
out in God’s name. If you would like to serve in a<br />
particular mini<strong>st</strong>ry or see a “new mini<strong>st</strong>ry” on the<br />
horizon, please let me know by contacting me at the<br />
Parish Office. Let’s continue to bring the Good News<br />
of the Risen Lord to the community of <strong>Lemont</strong> and<br />
beyond. In the meantime, please know that as I gather<br />
with you and around the altar this Ea<strong>st</strong>er, I am a very<br />
grateful Pa<strong>st</strong>or!<br />
Finally, please remember that next Sunday, April<br />
15 th , I will be the celebrant of our Children’s Mass at<br />
10 A.M. Jesus often said in the Gospels that young<br />
people teach the re<strong>st</strong> of us about under<strong>st</strong>anding God’s<br />
ways; come and celebrate with our young people and<br />
all whom they love. You ju<strong>st</strong> might be surprised as I<br />
have how much you are inspired through their words,<br />
actions, and loving hearts of service.<br />
Ea<strong>st</strong>er blessings and joy,<br />

EASTER SUNDAY, THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD Page 3<br />
Hello Friends of Saint <strong>Patrick</strong> –<br />
Hard to believe but Ea<strong>st</strong>er is already here!<br />
Yet here at Saint <strong>Patrick</strong> it was nevertheless a prayerful<br />
Lent, aided of course by our annual Redeemed! concert on<br />
March 23. If you had the opportunity to attend, you can<br />
atte<strong>st</strong> to this! Once again, we performed to a full house<br />
and the spirit of the Lord was definitely with us in song<br />
and prayer. I know I consider it a privilege to reach out to<br />
the community of Saint <strong>Patrick</strong>, of <strong>Lemont</strong>, and of wider<br />
Chicago-land through music….and I know everyone<br />
involved in this concert feels the same way.<br />
In fact, each year, more and more folks get involved. Not<br />
only does this make the concert run more smoothly but it<br />
emphasizes one of the key aspects of the concert:<br />
COMMUNITY! It would be impossible to li<strong>st</strong> everyone<br />
involved in the concert but I do want to make a few<br />
general acknowledgements.<br />
The Men’s Club for TIRELESSLY donating their time to setup,<br />
tear-down, clean, move, adju<strong>st</strong>, transport, etc. This<br />
could not happen without their help!<br />
Betty Slad and all those involved in not only decorating for<br />
the reception, but also DONATING food/beverages for the<br />
reception. The care taken in planning the reception really<br />
went a long way in encouraging the “community” aspect<br />
intrinsic in this event!<br />
Jane Doyle for the beautiful concert programs and Rose<br />
Yates for the signature po<strong>st</strong>er design.<br />

The Youth Choir parents who volunteered their time for<br />
LONG hours on concert day, attending to various needs of<br />
the Youth Choir.<br />
ALL the family and friends of BOTH choirs for their<br />
patience, flexibility, and dedication.<br />
BOTH choirs for their incredible talents, time, and passion.<br />
And YOU, the people of Saint <strong>Patrick</strong>, for ho<strong>st</strong>ing this<br />
event.<br />
There are more acknowledgments I could make, but the<br />
above li<strong>st</strong>ed are ju<strong>st</strong> the help we received <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> our own<br />
Parish community. A lot of support was felt <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> the local<br />
community as well, such as for the loan of the risers <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
<strong>Lemont</strong> High School. THANK-YOU!<br />
Happy Ea<strong>st</strong>er and God bless!<br />

NEXT WEEKEND: APRIL 15TH DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY<br />
A TIME OF SPECIAL PROMISES<br />
This recent fea<strong>st</strong> was e<strong>st</strong>ablished in the year 2000 by Pope John Paul II. It was initiated by<br />
Jesus Himself through the writings of a young Polish nun, Si<strong>st</strong>er Mary Fau<strong>st</strong>ina, who was<br />
canonized in 1993. The 13 years she spent in the convent were filled with extraordinary<br />
gifts, such as revelations, visions, hidden <strong>st</strong>igmata, participation in the Passion of our Lord,<br />
the gift of bilocation, reading of human souls, the gift of prophecy, and, mo<strong>st</strong> importantly,<br />
the commission given to her by our Lord Himself to become the “secretary” of His Mercy<br />
and write down all that He told her in a diary.<br />
Jesus’ promise is recorded in her diary entry #1109: “I want to grant complete pardon to<br />
the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Fea<strong>st</strong> of My<br />
Mercy,” (the confession should be within 20 days of the Fea<strong>st</strong>). The celebration of Jesus<br />
Divine Mercy should be concluded by the recitation of prayers for the indulgence, which<br />
are: the Our Father, Apo<strong>st</strong>les Creed, and a prayer for the Pope (perhaps a Hail Mary). Add<br />
and invocation such as: “Merciful Jesus, I tru<strong>st</strong> in You.”<br />
Jesus, Himself, told <strong>St</strong>. Fau<strong>st</strong>ina that this Fea<strong>st</strong> of Mercy would be a special day when “all<br />
the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened,” (Diary, 699). It is celebrated<br />
every year on the Sunday after Ea<strong>st</strong>er. Take advantage of this special opportunity for<br />
yourself and ask for Jesus’ Mercy on our world in this time of turmoil and natural disa<strong>st</strong>ers.<br />
Encourage others to participate in this gracious invitation <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> our Savior.
