A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
After much thought, prayer, listening and consulting about our plan that we formed from the Parish
Catalyst conference in California, I have had some
conversations and discerned a few shifts in our
staff to match our jobs with our gifts and passions.
First , Jeanne Fraser has shared with me in the
past her passion for Pastoral Ministry or what some
may call Pastoral Care. As I listened to our conversations about the 20 to 40 year olds and peoples’
concerns about not pushing our over 60 year olds
aside, I thought let’s move Jeanne into this role now.
We have spoken and Jeanne is very excited about
following her passion for people in our parish. This
past month several people died who we had lost
track of and I am frustrated that I cannot take as
good of care of them as I would like. Compassion
was a key word to our community as we discerned
our mission statement. I believe Jeanne will be able
to fill some gaping holes and grow some wonderful
possibilities for pastoral care. This means that she
will be able to coordinate and work with some current ministers and provide a central communication
piece for those in the hospital, then follow them to
care facilities, hospice or wherever it may take them
in a short-term or long-term disease like cancer or
dementia, She will work with our Four Seasons and
HASH members to maybe organize some bus trips
for people that would open to the other parishes,
plan funerals with people, work with our nursing homes,
realize pastoral needs people may have and be able
to guide the priests when they need to do something.
She will be focusing on this part of “our family”.
Loren Schiera will continue to run our cemetery
and focus on the physical needs of the cemetery. He
does a great job and keeps it up in a tremendous way.
John Jelinek will become our Family Faith Formation
Director for now, which will move toward Family
Ministry Director. John will be visioning and coordinating our Family Faith Formation. We have referred
to this as Religious Education in the past and CCD
before that. Now, the notion is to work with the parents to form their children’s faith and be the teachers of their children in the way of faith. Also, if we do
this as a family, we can share the strength of “my”
family with that of the parish family. He will focus on
transforming our parish into this model. The studies
show that the participation of the father greatly increases the impact on the effectiveness on the family faith practice and the possibility of practicing
once the children leave the home. John will also be
forming and training teams to do parts of what we
have called Youth Ministry. We will also have to add
a part time person to do Youth Ministry and a part
time person to coordinate the Family Faith Formation
Sunday and Tuesday night classes.
Joe Filpi will be shifting over to helping me as
Building Manager/Director of Maintenance. In this
capacity, he will also help with what we need for
Family Faith Formation set ups and activity projects.
The Church of Holy Apostles, McHenry, IL
Joe knows what we need to do certain ministerial events and he can
also help me in making sure we keep this beautiful building in shape. It
is not my desire to hire a business manager, but I do need someone to
manage the physical plant and work with vendors and contractors to
maintain the building. He will also be the person who helps coordinate
parish service activities. Joe also does a great job on our special events.
I think these aspects blend well together to support John, Jeanne and I
and use all of our gifts well.
I think all these shifts provide an opportunity for us to be successful
with this new model to engage our young families and take care of the
needs of all. It also puts our staff in position to work out of their passions
and gifts. Everyone seems to be appropriately concerned yet excited
about a new opportunity. I am excited about the feedback we are getting
and the gifts we have to minister to our parish family and to work as a
family.
Looking forward to the days ahead!
Father Paul
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR:
All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the

take in the peace that He gives us so lovingly. Stop and
take a little break from your busy life to acknowledge His
comforting love. Jesus will bless you, your family, and the
whole world for this hour of faith you spend with Him in
the Blessed Sacrament.

Lord, especially these open times:

La Ascensión del Señor
A los cuarenta días después de la Resurrección habiendo
instruido a sus Apóstoles sobre la misión
de establecer el Reino de Dios en el mundo, Jesús iba a subir al cielo. Bendijo a la
Virgen María Madre, a los Apóstoles y discípulos y se despidió de ellos. Una nube lo
ocultó de sus miradas. Al situarse junto al
Padre, toda la corte celestial entonó un
himno glorioso de alabanza, como el que
oyó Juan en sus visiones: "Digno es el Cordero, que ha sido degollado, de recibir el
poder y la riqueza, la sabiduría y la fuerza, la honra, la gloria
y la alabanza" (Ap 5, 12).
Jesús, mientras estaba en la tierra, gustaba siempre de la
visión de Dios; pero únicamente en la Transfiguración se
manifestó la gloria de su Humanidad Sacratísima, que, por
la Ascensión, se colocó al lado del Padre celestial y quedó
ensalzada sobre toda criatura humana.

Grief Support Group Meets Weekly
Vocations Corner
Have you or a loved one experienced a recent loss
in your life? Perhaps you are grieving a death, going
through or recently been divorced, working through
unemployment or finding your family size changing
as your children grow. Grief occurs throughout our
lives as we encounter losses and sometimes it
helps to share our feelings, as this strengthens the
Body of Christ. Catholic Charities has an ongoing
support group that meets on Tuesday mornings at
10 AM at 5141 W. Bull Valley Rd. (on Holy Apostles
campus) The group is led by a therapist and trained
facilitator. There is a $5.00 weekly charge and refreshments are served. There is no need to preregister. Please consider attending this very supportive group. If you have any questions, call the
Catholic Charities office at 815-344-6956. At this
time, there is no childcare available.
What the Saints Have in Common
Women’s Retreat Offered
The Rockford Diocesan Council of Catholic Women
invite all women to their 3rd annual retreat on June
26—27 at the Bishop Lane Retreat Center in Rockford. The theme is “Resting in God” with speaker
Rita Van Wassenhove. God designed us to need a
“recharge” in an atmosphere of unhurried quietness. An unrested soul becomes impatient, demanding, irritable, selfish and unable to be of service to the Lord. Come for a time of rest and renewal. The cost is $85 for single rooms; $62 for a
shared room. Call Pat Wightman at 815-548-2415
for more information.
Catholic Leadership Seminar Offered
Become the best leader possible at home, at work,
in your community and in your parish by learning
how to Lead Like Jesus. Attend a Catholic Vision for
Leading Like Jesus Encounter on Friday, June 19, at
Bishop Lane Retreat Center, 7708 McGregor Rd.,
Rockford, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The cost of
$79 includes all materials, lunch and snacks. For
more information or to register, call 815-965-5011

I’ve been blessed to attend three confirmations recently.
Within the ceremonies, each of the confirmandi were
anointed with Chrism oil and called by the saint name that
they picked for the occasion. As the Bishop read name after
name after name at one of confirmations, I began to think
about how diverse and unique each of the saints truly are.
Each of them were called by God to a specific task, which
they of course carried out to the best of their ability, hence
becoming saints! As I thought more and more about it, I
realized that despite the diversity of vocations that the different saints were called to, there are three things that they
all have in common: 1) They wanted to do God’s will. 2)
They put God’s desires before their own. 3) They relied on
God’s grace and power to fulfill His plan for them.
This is precisely what we are all called to do. We are called
to walk in their footsteps. Each and every one of us ought to
have a desire to do God’s will, and to put His desires before
our own. We should do this out of love for God, but knowing
that it will bring us joy as well is a nice little incentive! Carrying this out is, of course, easier said than done which is why
we need to call upon the power of the Spirit that we were
given in our own confirmations! Do this, and years down
the road, maybe someone will pick your name, as their confirmation saint name! Fr. Keith Romke,
Diocesan Vocations Director
