My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
Hallelujah! The Lord is risen from the dead as He promised!!! Hallelujah! Jesus is alive to help us live now in Him. His strength now strengthens us in living as a true image of God in this world. His grace now strengthens our virtues to live according to His merciful law of love. The virtues of our faith are a crucial part of living in the NEW LIFE of Christ. Over the past several months I have had the honor and pleasure to work with the School Advisory Council on their approved St. Andrew the Apostle Business Executive Summary for Transformation or B.E.S.T Plan, which includes our Value Statement which beautifully declares: We believe quality Catholic education calls us to integrate Gospel teachings and values with everyday life; while believing that all secular subjects need to be taught in the light of these values. These values are deeply rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ is the reason for our school and our community lives out our faith expressing the virtues of prudence, fortitude, charity, generosity, temperance, humility, and brotherly love. All, in communion with a strong sense of hospitality and belonging in everything we do. As we begin this Easter season, as a parish family, and at home as a domestic church, I would like to encourage you to continue to partner with the school and focus on these virtues. As part of our ongoing faith formation, here is just a brief synopsis on virtues. A virtue is the behavior of showing high moral standards. The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God, to live in Jesus, to form habits of love. There are three different types of virtues: Cardinal, Theological and Capital. The Cardinal Virtues are four moral virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance) that are the foundation for the others. There are three Theological Virtues (faith, hope and charity) which are straight out of the Bible, and can only be acquired as a free gift from God. There are seven Capital Virtues (chastity, generosity, temperance, brotherly love, meekness, humility and diligence). These virtues help us overcome the seven deadly sins of lust, greed, gluttony, envy, anger, pride, and sloth. By praying to obtain all seven of the capital virtues, that is by living in the NEW LIFE of Jesus and being nourished by that very Lifeblood coursing in our veins and in our spirits, we can put a stop to the devil and his plan to destroy our lives. One of the reasons for our Lenten preparation for Easter is to strengthen the virtue of Temperance, which is both a Cardinal and Capital Virtue. It is the moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods. It ensures the will’s mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable. The temperate person directs the sensitive appetites toward what is good and maintains a healthy discretion. Temperance is often praised in the Old Testament; in the New Testament it is called “moderation” or “sobriety.” On the Cross, Jesus died in humiliation — the humility of God is unbelievable! Humility is a Capital Virtue. It overcomes the sin of pride, precisely because it is the virtue that recognizes our 100% reliance on God for all that we have, or ever will have. Everything on earth is on loan from God, including our good looks, our money, our house, etc. Those who think that they got all of these things on their own are in for a big surprise upon death. The devil fools some of us into thinking that we got these things due to our hard work, or our talent, or whatever, when in fact, God gave them all to us. Pride is the devil’s great sin, and he wants us all to think that we are gods too, like he does. But by being humble, we beat him every time, because humility comes from the heart, and the devil does not have a heart — as Jesus says and as recorded in the Bible: the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. Without belittling our God-given abilities, a humble person does as our Lord continually urges: “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Matthew 23:11). As we journey together this Easter Season, this is an excellent opportunity for us to grow deeper in our faith. So I encourage you to continue practicing all these virtues; while continuing to pray and offer your support in doing God’s will for the good of our parish. As always, you all remain in my ongoing prayers and I ask that you continue to keep me and those entrusted to running and enhancing our parish and school in your prayers. I truly believe that together, with the Grace of God, and through living out our faith in these virtues, we can make a difference in our community and our parish as a whole. Thanks for your ongoing prayers and support! Hallelujah! The Lord is risen as He promised! He is alive! Hallelujah!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor

Hospital Visitation of Parishioners
Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!

St. Andrew the Apostle We Care Food Pantry
The St. Andrew We Care Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 10:00 am. until 12:30 p.m. for any eligible family in Romeoville in need of food assistance.
The requirements to receive food commodities from the Pantry is that a valid State of Illinois Driver's License or State of Illinois ID and a current utility bill with your Romeoville address must be presented at the time of sign-in. Due to the poor economy, loss of employment or housing, and if you are currently residing with a Romeoville family, you may bring your valid Illinois Driver’s License or State ID AND a current utility bill from the Romeoville residents you are living with. Some proof of residency must be established. This must be brought to the Pantry each time you come for food assistance.
The Pantry is located at 219 Arlington. For further information, please contact Jack or Pat Frazier at (815) 919-3233.
