The Doxology At the conclusion, all reply: Amen.

The Profession of the Faith The Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, [All bow, at the following text ]

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgive-ness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Communion Rite

The Lord’s Prayer

The Sign of Peace At the fraction, the Lamb of God begins.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Hymn: 471 All Is Well with My Soul

Blessing and Dismissal

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R/: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in bat-tle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Our Faith: April—Month dedicated to the Holy Eucharist

A Prayer Before Mass

Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrimage I come to receive Your beloved Son under the veil of a

sacrament, may I one day see Him face to face in glory, who lives and reigns with You for ever and

ever. Amen.

A Prayer After Receiving Holy Communion

Anima Christi Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;

Body of Christ, be my salvation; Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;

Water of Christ's side, wash out my stains; Passion of Christ, my comfort be;

O good Jesus, listen to me; In Thy wounds I fain would hide; Ne'er to be parted from Thy side;

Guard me, should the foe assail me; Call me when my life shall fail me;

Bid me come to Thee above, With Thy saints to sing Thy love,

World without end. Amen.

A Spiritual Communion Prayer for those unable to receive the Eucharist

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL Today we celebrate one of the tenets of our creed: that the Lord ascended into heaven. From Mark’s Gospel we hear the final words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he ascended into heaven. Those were words of commissioning, no less real for us today than they were to the disciples then. We are called to “proclaim the gospel to every creature.” For the vast majority of us, this means that we proclaim the gospel by the witness of our everyday lives. Treating others with dignity and respect, providing for those less fortunate than our-selves, being good stewards of the many gifts showered on us, coming together as God’s family in worship and praise—these are all signs that the gospel has taken root in our lives.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven (Acts 1:1-11). Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47). Second Reading — God seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23) or Ephesians 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13]. Gospel — The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God (Mark 16:15-20).

THE SHIP OF THE CHURCH The Church is like a great ship being pounded by the waves of life’s different stresses. Our duty is not to abandon ship, but to keep her on her course. —St. Boniface

Volunteers will be checking blood pressures next weekend after the 5 p.m., 8 a.m. and 10 a.m Masses. High blood pressure is known as a “Silent Killer” since very often the individual experiences no symptoms. Getting your blood pressure checked is a short and simple health screening that you should do regularly. Plan to stop in the back of Church next weekend. Remember, it is a quick way to moni-tor your health!

Religious Education News Registration is now open for the 2015-2016 year. If you have a child you would like to enroll in the program, you may pick up registration forms at the Parish Office or on-line at the Saint Thecla website. They should be returned to the Parish Office before the end of May so we can plan for next year. A copy of the Baptism cer-tificate is required when you register. All those wishing to receive a sacrament (First Communion or Confir-mation) must be in a program for two years prior to receiving the sacrament.

Deacon John’s will preach at all the Masses next weekend: Let us join together in thanking him for 13 years of dedicated and faithful service to the Church through our parish. A deacon’s time of service (like the priests) is marked with term limits and we are awaiting word on where he will be reassigned. After the 10am Mass the Athletic Council hosts a reception in Russo Hall.

Music Ministry: We encourage students (including high school and college) who play an instrument or have a vocal talent to consider presenting a musical selection at any of the 10 AM Masses. Please contact Aaron Dixon for more information. 773-792-3077 x203 [email protected]

St. Thecla hosts a “Blue Mass” for all Chicago police officers, firefighters, paramedics and 9-1-1 opera-tors/dispatchers on Sunday May 31st at the 10:00am Mass.

Fr. Tom Mulchrone, Chaplain of the Chicago Fire Department will preside at the Mass. Fr. Dan Brandt, Chaplain of the Chicago Police Department will preach

the homily.

St. Thecla 8th grade students form the “May Crowning Court” in honor of our Blessed Mother.

From the desk of our Principal, Mr. Dan Gargano

We proudly share the results of our students’ Terra Nova achievement test. St. Thecla’s National Percen-tiles are the national percentile of the mean normal curve equivalent score. The average student scores at the 50th percentile of the specific grade level assessment. When reading dat using national percentile, one would say that St. Thecla’s 6th grade class scored higher in science than 90% of the other 6th graders taking the test nationally; only 10% of students nationally scored higher that St. Thecla’ 6th grade class.

I am pleased and honored to inform the community that the following St. Thecla students are winners of the Knights of Columbus Essay Contest. Alexandra Trekas took 1st place! Abbie Alonzo, Rachel Dietz, and Sean Moriarty were all awarded with honorable mention.

The good news keeps on coming! I am also pleased to inform our community that Rachel Dietz and Morgan McCarthy have been awarded Block Family Foundation Scholarships at Resurrection College Prep HS. This scholarship recognizes the top ten entrance exam test scorers. Congrats Rachel and Morgan!

Congratulations to our new National Junior Honor Society members. Briana Broderick, Maeve Sheedy, Madison Kaup, Abby Kupka, Emily Schutt, Nicholas Trekas, and Colin Weber were inducted after the an-nual 8th grade Ribbon Mass. We are all very proud of their academic and charitable accomplishments.

Please share the good word about our school with new families. Let them know they can set an appointment to see the school during school hours.

Parish Life

St Thecla’s Women’s Council proudly presents their “2015 Woman of the Year,” Luella Mader.

Luella has been a member of St Thecla parish since 1952. Her education includes having graduated from St Thecla grammar school, Cardinal Stritch High School and accounting classes from Northwestern Univer-sity. Recently, Luella had lost her husband, Bob, of 54 years. Together they reared their two sons, Danny and Gregory and served their parish unselfishly for many, many years. Some highlights of Luella’s service include: Den Mother for the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts; assisted with pancake breakfasts for 12 years, was treasurer for 10 years, and served on the Mostaccioli Dinner committee for 5 years. For our parish and school; room mom, finance and raffle committees for the Carnival fundraiser, Booster Club, hostess for the blood drives, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, and serves as the Collection Counter Captain. For St Thecla’s Women’s Council; continues serving as Treasurer for approxi-mately 21 years, works at the annual Rummage Sale, the Holiday Craft and Gift Show and is always avail-able when the Council hosts events. Without hesitation, she is always available to offer a helping hand. For St. Thecla Leisure Club she has served as Treasurer for the past 10 years and assists in Senior Network-ing (a new venture that combines the senior clubs from various parishes.) Most importantly, we value Luella’s friendship. Her character, morals and values exemplify what a Catholic Woman should be. Luella never thought that she should be considered for this award. She believes all that she did was just helping out whenever she could.

Well, Luella, that is precisely why we honor you today as St Thecla’s “Woman of the Year.” Your generos-ity and kindness does not go unnoticed. Congratulations, Luella Mader. We are so very proud of you and we thank you for all you do. God’s blessings and congratulations; St. Thecla parishioners and Fr. Gene Dyer, Pastor
