Brčić   ŽIVOT U SJENI GROBOVA   Svake godina na Dušni dan svjedoci smo najvećeg skupa na grobljima diljem svijeta. Toga dana svaki put iznova naša groblja ožive; presvučena u raskošno ruho najljepšeg cvijeća, okupana u moru tisuća svijeća, ona neodoljivo privlače. U čovjeku se bude najdublji osjećaji, naviru drage uspomene na osobe koje nas ostaviše i preseliše s ovoga svijeta. Dok budemo stajali uz grobove najmilijih, još ćemo jednom bolno shvatiti da je njihov odlazak u nama ostavio za ovu zemlju nenadoknadivu prazninu. Oni su u nama satkali sliku po kojoj se svaki dan prepoznajemo. U njima smo se ogledali kao u zrcalu. Naši ljubljeni, kojima ćemo grobove pokušati ugrijati ljubavlju, ipak blijede u našem sjećanju. Vrijede li i vrijednosti što su ih u nas unijeli? Uvjeren sam, kada bi nam mogli progovoriti dok stojimo tužni i uplakani uz njihov grob, da bi nam uputili samo jednu riječ : "Najdraži moji, ne plačite za mnom, nego živite dobrotu i ljubav. Hodajte ovom zemljom kako je hodao i Isus. Jer to je jedini put koji nas opet može dovesti u zajedništvo. Jednom zauvijek."  Svaki put kada odlazimo s grobova dragih nam ljudi, odlazimo ljudskiji, topliji, skromniji i nježniji prema svakome stvorenju. Bolje uočavamo vrijednost života i neizrecivu dragocjenost voljenih. Više shvaćamo da su svi ljudi jednaki, jer niti jedan ne može pobijediti sam u presudnoj bitki života sa smrću. Kako god to nekima čudno izgledalo, na grobovima najdražih u nama se jače ražari vjera u život poslije života. Može li nas ljubav i čežnja da opet susretnemo one koje nam je smrt otela pokrenuti da živimo onako kako bi oni živjeli da su još s nama. Da živimo ljudskije. Da se vratimo na put koji vodi k njima, u život.   ŽUPNE OBAVIJESTI:   OBAVIJEST O POSJETI GROBALJA U nadolazeću subotu, 3. studenog posjetit ćemo naša groblja i pomoliti se za sve pokojne. Najviše što možemo učiniti za naše drage koju su otišli s ovoga svijeta jest pomoliti se Gospodinu, da im se ono što su vjerovali za svoga života ostvari  na nebesima. A to znači da svatko od nas ima razloga ovih dana posjetiti grobove svojih najmilijih. Raspored posjete grobljima: St. Mary 9:30 AM, susresti ćemo se kod središnje zgrade na groblju kao i svake godine. Holy Sepulchre: 10 A.M., susrest ćemo se kod grobnice hrvatskih franjevaca. Svete mise na Svi Svete bit će u 7 A.M., 8 A.M. te u 7 sati navečer. Predstavljanje knjige "Stoljeće vjernosti" Predstavljanje knjige "Stoljeće vjernosti" autora Fra Roberta Jolića i Fra Joze Grbeša održat će se u nedjelju 4.  studenog poslije sv. Mise (12:30 P.M.)  u  našoj velikoj dvorani.  Knjiga govori o stotinu godina života i rada hrvatskih franjevaca na sjevernoameričkom kontinentu.  Ona iscrpno donosi detalje o mnogim djelatnostima franjevaca u cilju i nadi očuvanja hrvatskog jezika, duhovnosti  i kulturne baštine.  Knjigu će predstaviti kustos hrvatskih franjevaca za Ameriku i Kanadu, fra Marko Puljić, jedan od autora knjige fra Jozo Grbeš, te autor naslovne stranice, akademski slikar Francis Penavić. Iste nedjelje prije predstavljanja knjige MARIJINO DRUŠTVO priprema ručak u našoj dvorani.   ZAHVALA Iskreno se zahvaljujemo svima koji su došli ili na bilo koji način sudjelovali u našoj akciji "be true to the red, white and blue". Zahvaljujući svima vama ovogodišnja modna revija bila je vrlo uspješna. Sakupljenih 11, 000.00 tisuća dolara dodijeliti će se žrtvama terorističkog napada na Ameriku. Još jedanput se zahvaljujemo na povjerenju u društvo "Hrvatska žena grana broj 1 Chicago". Odbor društva Hrvatska žena grana 1.    MINISTRANTI: Primanje novih ministranata bit će u nedjelju 25. studenog na blagdan Krista Kralja. Svi koji žele biti ministranti neka se jave u Župni ured ili neka nazovu Tihanu Jurković 847 329  7963.                          NOVE KNJIGE Stigao je veliki broj novih knjiga, novina, CD-a u naš Župni ured. Isto tako imamo i veliki broj Biblija na hrvatskom  jeziku.  Svaka naša obitelj trebala bi imati u svojoj kući Bibliju, molitvenik, duhovne knjige. Svi oni koji još uvijek  nemaju dovoljno duhovnih i povijesnih knjiga, mogu ih kupiti nedjeljom nakon svete mise u našoj dvorani.  10 GODINA VUKOVARA Sprema se obilježavanje 10. obljetnice patnje i slobode Vukovara, sjećanje na sve žrtve i nasilje učinjeno Hrvatima tog divnog hrvatskog grada. Sjeƒanje na Vukovar održat će se  svečanom akademijom u auditorijumu Healy School, na sam dan  pada Vukovara, u nedjelju 18. studenog u 2 sata poslije podne. Molimo Vas računajte na ovaj datum. Bit će to multimedijska prezentacija sjećanja na prošlost i patnju, sadašnjost i nadu tog našeg herojskog grada slobode. Say Often, "Lord, Have Mercy" Have you ever wondered what to do when you feel attacked on all sides by seemingly irresistible forces, waves that cover you and want to sweep you  off  your feet?  Sometimes these waves consist of feeling rejected, feeling forgotten, or feeling  misunderstood.  Sometimes they consist of anger, resentment, or even the desire for revenge, and sometimes of self-pity and self-rejection.  What are you to do?  Make the conscious choice to move the attention of your anxious heart away from these waves and direct it to the One who walks on them  and says, "It is I. Do not be afraid." (Matt.  14:27; Mark 6:50; John 6:20)  Keep turning your eyes to Him and go on trusting that He will bring peace to your heart.  Look at Him and say, "Lord, have mercy."  Say it again and again, not anxiously, but with confidence that He is very close to you and will put your soul to rest.   Visit to the Cemeteries in Honor of All Soul's Day Next Saturday, November 3, we will visit cemeteries in honor of our deceased.  The most we can do for our beloved departed ones is to pray for their souls.  All of us have reason to visit the graves of our loved ones.  The schedule is as follows: St.  Mary, 9:30 A.M., gathering at the main  building as we do each year; Holy Sepulchre, 10A.M., gathering at the grave site of the Croatian Franciscans.  Holy Mass on All Saints Day will be at 7A.M., 8A.M., and 7P.M.

Come to the office and register.  Registered parishioners whose information has changed due to marriage, births, deaths, address, telephone, etc., should contact the rectory to update our records.  Thank you for your cooperation. Thank You  from "Croatian Woman" Thank you so much to all who came and participated in any way in our special event "Be True to the Red, White, and Blue".  Because of all of you, this year's fashion show was a huge success.

JEROME 90TH ANNIVERSARY  - Mark your calendars for October 6, 2002.  Our celebration will begin with a High Mass in the early afternoon, followed by an evening of dinner and entertainment at the Sheraton Hotel in the Loop.  Also, we are looking for any photos or videos from parish events or family  events at the parish.

Did you know that you can recycle newspaper, magazines, and shopping catalogs at our school?  Did you also know that our school earns money for paper dropped off at the green and yellow "Paper Retriever" bin in our campus?  This is an easy way for you to recycle household paper and help raise money for projects like computers, books, and many new things that it takes to run a school.  Please remember to bring your paper to the parish parking lot and drop it off in the bin.  There is no financial commitment from you, just bring your paper.  Furthermore, share this information with your family and your neighbors.  Make this a community event.  Finally, thank you for your continued support of this important event.
