Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 3, 2019

St. John Brebeuf Church 8307 N. Harlem Ave., Niles, IL 60714

847-966-8145 - www.sjbrebeuf.org


Dear Parishioner,

As you can see in our weekly offertory reports published in the bulletin, we are falling behind in our budgeted goal for Sunday and Holy Day Collections. The shortfall through January 20, 2019, is $41,960.00.

If at all possible, I am asking you to add at least an additional $2 a week to your current weekly Sunday offering at St. John Brebeuf. If you can afford more, that would be great.

This money supports our operating budget. Our actual income from the Sunday and Holy Day Collections has remained relatively flat over the past five years, but this year we are experiencing a decline of $12,314.60 from the same period last year.

The decline comes in spite of the fact that St. John Brebeuf is the most well-attended church in this area. We have 400 more people attending Sunday Mass than at any other parish in our deanery, including OLPH and St. Paul of the Cross. Nearly 2,800 people worship at St. John Brebeuf every weekend!

If each family in our parish gives at least $2 more a week, this problem will be solved.

This decline in revenue is due mainly to the loss of long-time parishioners who have died or have moved. We have seen younger families move in and they have been very generous, but overall the parish is gradually becoming smaller. We are holding steady in other areas of our budget, and have even found ways to reduce operating costs in some areas.

There are some who have given the same amount for many years and are in a position to do more. If this is something you could do, I encourage you to make an effort to give more, and to give consistently each Sunday either through envelopes or through GiveCentral online giving. If you cannot give more at this time, I understand and hope you will continue to give what your budget allows.

St. John Brebeuf is a great parish. We are busy, our parking lot is always full, and we have many dynamic ministries and activities. We are a full-service parish

with a school and a beautiful hall and campus. We are very generous to those in need, and we have made many capital improvements over the past eight years.

Now, however, is the time to address our operating budget. We must increase our regular Sunday and Holy Day income, and I ask that you join me by adding at least $2 each week to your offertory gifts.

Thank you for your suppor t. I'm grateful for all you do and I will keep you in my prayers.

Peace, Father Mike Meany

Drodzy parafianie, Jak widzisz w naszym cotygodniowym raporcie nie osiągamy naszego zaplanowanego budżetu na niedzielę i święta. Niedobór do 20 stycznia 2019 r. wynosi 41 960,00 USD, a liczba ta rośnie z każdym mijającym tygodniem. Jeśli to możliwe, proszę o dodanie co najmniej 2 dolarów do cotygodniowej niedzielnej ofiary w St. John Brebeuf. Jeśli możesz pozwolić sobie na więcej, byłoby wspaniale. Te pieniądze wspierają nasz budżet operacyjny. W ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat nasze rzeczywiste dochody z niedzieli i świąt zmniejszają się, ale w tym roku mamy do czynienia ze spadkiem o 12,314,60 USD porównując ten sam okres z ubiegłego roku. Spadek ten następuje pomimo tego, że św. Jan Brebeuf jest najbardziej uczęszczanym kościołem w naszej okolicy. Mamy 400 osób więcej uczestniczących w niedzielnej Mszy Sw. niż w jakiejkolwiek innej parafii w naszym dziekanacie, wtym OLPH i św. Pawła od Krzyża. Prawie 2800 ludzi oddaje cześć św. Janowi Brebeuf w weekend!


Jeśli każda rodzina w naszej parafii da tylko 2 USD więcej w tygodniu, problem ten zostanie rozwiązany. Ten spadek dochodów wynika głównie z utraty długoletnich parafian, którzy zmarli lub zmienili miejsce zamieszkania. Widzimy młodsze rodziny, które się wprowadziły i są bardzo hojne, ale ogólnie rzecz biorąc parafia stopniowo się zmniejsza. Trzymamy się stabilnie w innych obszarach naszego budżetu i znalaźliśmy sposoby na obniżenie kosztów operacyjnych w niektórych obszarach. Są tacy, którzy ofiarują tą samą kwotę od wielu lat i są w stanie ofiarować więcej. Jeśli możesz to zrobić zachęcam cię, byś starał się ofiarować więcej i dawać konsekwentnie w każdą niedzielę poprzez koperty lub poprzez GiveCentral online. Jeśli nie możesz ofiarować więcej w tym momencie, rozumiem i mam nadzieję, że nadal będziesz dawał to, na co pozwala twój budżet. Św. Jan Brebeuf jest wspaniałą parafią. Mamy ruchliwą parafię, nasz parking jest zawsze pełny i mamy wiele dynamicznie działających ministerstw . Jesteśmy parafią z pełną obsługą ze szkołą, piękną salą i kampusem. Jesteśmy bardzo hojni dla potrzebujących i dokonaliśmy wielu ulepszeń kapitałowych w ciągu ostatnich ośmiu lat. Dziękujemy Wam! Teraz nadszedł czas, aby zająć się naszym budżetem operacyjnym. Potrzebujemy zwiększyć naszą regularną niedzielną ofiarę i dochód ze Święt Bożego Narodzenia. Proszę, przyłącz się do mnie, dodając co najmniej 2 dolary do swoich cotygodniowych datków. Dziękuję za Twoje wsparcie. Jestem wdzięczny za wszystko, co robicie. Rozpoczynając ten Nowy Rok zapewniam Waso mojej modlitwie w Waszych intencjach. Pokój niech będzie z Wami. Ks. Michael Meany

A Look at Our Annual Expenses As I said in my letter this week, we have a well-attended parish with many excellent activities and facilities. There is, however, a cost associated with our operations. I wanted to share a few of our annual costs: Telephone: $23,679.00 annually Heating: $32,000.00 annually Electricity: $52,040.00 annually Water/Sewer: $31,950.00 annually Landscaping: $17,325.00 annually $2,475 per month April-October, including all mowing, shrub trimming, fertilizing, weeding, plus Spring/Fall cleanup and litter removal Security: $4,060.00 annually Traffic control for Sundays; special events such as Carnival not included Missalettes: $8,378 per set Snow Removal: $1,470 per three-hour session Salt, sidewalks and around the whole block by 6:30 am when it snows 2 or more inches; sometimes they have to return for another session with one storm We have repeatedly sought bids for landscaping and snow plowing, and G&L are the best in terms of price and service.

ers, reading the Gospel, and distributing communion. Our homebound parishioners truly look forward to receiving Je-sus. Father Przemek will be offering training sessions beginning in February. Please give this ministry serious thought. If you have questions, please call the parish office at 847-966-8145 and leave a message for me, or return the form below to the office.

Scripture Study Plan to attend our Lenten Scripture study session, beginning Sunday, February 17, 2019. We will explore the book of Revelations. This study invites the modern reader to revisit a volatile period of history through apocalyptic, symbolic writing. Enter into the struggle between good and evil, hear the call to conversion, and experience God’s ultimate triumph. Revelation’s apocalyptic imagery, symbolic colors and numbers are explored. The evils of the Roman Empire during a specific period of time persecution are behind much of the apocalyptic imagery. It contains letters to seven churches of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), which urge faithfulness to Christ. Powerful visions of God and the victorious lamb in heaven are unveiled as God and the lamb achieve the ultimate and absolute victory over evil, culminating in a new heaven and a new earth with a new Jerusalem as home to God’s holy people.

There are 8 sessions leading up to Easter. We will begin on Sunday 02/17/19. We meet every Sunday from 10:00 am – Noon. Fee is $10.00 which includes study material. Please contact Chester Gilbert for information at: 847-966-4789 or [email protected]

Fundamental Commitment: Prayer-Presence-Preparation-Participation


We are again asking our parishioners to participate in this special fund-raiser to help women in crisis preg-nancies by supporting the pro-life work of the Catholic-run Women's Centers of Greater Chicagoland. Ba-by bottles will be found in main en-trances of the church for you to take home and fill with spare change. Any checks should be made out directly to The Women's Cen-ters. Over the prior 13 years our parish has already raised over $239,000 which helped to save 240 babies, who are now living out their lives amongst us. Many of them in turn will have children of their own. Con-tinuing in the spirit of Christmas, let our parishioners of all ages, includ-ing the children, work together to save even more little lives. Please return the bottles before any of the masses on the weekend of February 9-10. Please take one bot-tle per family. Extras will be availa-ble in the back of the church the next couple of weekends if you fill up your first one. Thank you for participating in this worthy cause.


Children’s Bulletins

Children’s bulletins are near the entrances at the back of the church. Children may use the bulletin to color during Mass, and may take it home to read. We hope your family experiences Jesus!

SJB CHILDRENS CORNER Joy in Jesus Sunday Program

The Children’s Liturgy of the Word ministry will continue until June of 2019. We welcome all of our children ages 6-10 to participate!


A Few Words About Wills More than a mere legal document that will be accepted in a court of human law, a well-prepared will is a statement of faith, hope and love. Family, charities, and others in need will benefit from this, your final; act of material kindness.

St. John Brebeuf Parish would consider it a privilege to be mentioned in your will. Thank you, for not only your consideration but for all your other gift sacrifices.
