PAGE TWO
From the Pastor’s Desk I need to begin with an important,
practical update. As you know, we are still waiting for Cardinal
Cupich’s decision on our new parish name (we should receive news of
it within a few days). Since the time that we united as a new
parish on Oct. 1st last year, our temporary & unofficial name
has been Saints Beatrice & Maria Goretti Parish. The key word
there is “unofficial.” You see, there are many things that we
cannot change until we have our new official name, and one of those
things is our parish bank accounts. So, we still have separate bank
accounts for St. Beatrice Parish and St. Maria Goretti Parish – and
the only thing that has been different since Oct. 1st is that the
funds in both accounts now all go to one place: our new parish. But
the important point is: we still have separate accounts under two
different names.
I bring this up because our parish bank recently let us know
that they cannot continue to accept checks that are made out to
“Saints Beatrice & Maria Goretti,” since we do not have any
accounts with that name (as I said, we have separate accounts for
“St. Beatrice” and “St. Maria Goretti”). So, if you write checks to
our parish, please do not make them out to “Saints Beatrice &
Maria Goretti.” Instead, make them out to either “St. Beatrice” or
“St. Maria Goretti.” If you put both names on your checks, the bank
might not accept them because our bank accounts do not use that
name.
And here is another very important point: Even after we receive
our new official name, please continue to make checks to either
“St. Beatrice” or “St. Maria Goretti.” Do not make checks out to
our new parish name when we first receive it. The reason for this
is that it will take us some time to set up a new tax ID, new bank
accounts, etc. So, until all of that is completed, please just
continue to make checks to either “St. Beatrice” or “St. Maria
Goretti.” I will let you know when the new accounts are ready, but
that will likely not be for some time. Again, please do not use
“Saints Beatrice & Maria Goretti,” and do not use our new
parish name right away.
I’m sorry for the confusion, but there is still a lot that needs
to be done in terms of uniting our parishes. Even though we united
on Oct. 1st last year, there are many practical changes that cannot
take place until we have our new name. But this is all the more
reason why I encourage everyone to consider donating to our parish
online. You can always do one-time donations online, or even set up
recurring donations (so you never need to think about it!) And if
you do online donations, then as far as I know, you won’t need to
do anything different once we get our new name and we change our
bank accounts – you should just be able to continue to donate with
PayPal on our parish website, and we at the parish office are the
ones who will register the new bank accounts with PayPal. So, if
you would ever like to donate online, please go to
www.stbeatriceparish.org/donate.
Finally, I don’t want this whole bulletin article to be about
money, so I want to make sure to mention two important (and
related) things taking place this week. This Monday, Jan. 18th our
nation celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. King, of
course, was the great civil rights leader who worked, marched, and
protested peacefully to help unite people of all races and beliefs.
And this week our Church observes the Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity, as we pray that all the denominations of Christianity can
find more common ground and be united one day. In this coming week,
then, let us pray and ask God to show us how we can each be
instruments of His peace to everyone around us.
St. Beatrice & St. Maria Goretti, pray for us. May God bless
you.
Fr. Rob

PAGE THREE Second Sunday In Ordinary Time:
In the Gospel today, Jesus asks, “What are you looking for?”
Often we are looking for happiness in selfish ways, but we find
that
when we look for ways to make others happy, it is then that we
truly become happy.
As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
poor box, know that
you are a sign of God’s love to those who are suffering, and you
give them reason to
believe and trust.

FEAST OF FAITH The Greeting
At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us
with the words, “The Lord be with you.” These simple words are not
like the greetings that we exchange all day long—our “good
mornings,” our “hellos” and “how are yous.” This liturgical
greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth,
the words “the Lord be with you” are spoken by Boaz to the
harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of
Judges, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they
are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed
people to victory and freedom. For us, the words become a greeting
of peace, a prayer that the Lord will indeed be with us, and a
reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the
world (Matthew 28:20). Our response—“And with your spirit”—returns
to the presider this prayer for the Lord’s presence. As we know
from the scriptures, a prayer for the Lord’s presence is no small
thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace,
and challenge. God’s presence transforms us. —Corinna Laughlin,

Speak Lord, We Are Listening In today’s first reading God keeps
calling out in the night to a sleeping boy. Neither the boy,
Samuel, nor his teacher, Eli, understands who is calling. But God’s
persistence convinces them. Samuel is then ready—not ready yet to
do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak, for your servant is
listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). In the Gospel Jesus is out teaching.
Various people notice him and begin to gather around. They soon
become disciples and, like the young Samuel, are ready—not ready
yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak,” they say, “we are
listening.” God’s voice is always with us, awake or asleep. It
swirls around us like fog on a waterfront, enveloping us, gently
urging us to wake up, to listen. Awareness of the voice comes
first; then willingness to listen; then, in time, the decision to
act, to live according to God’s word. Let’s ask today for the
ability to keep our ears open so we don’t miss God’s voice.

What We’re Learning
7th Grade (Saturdays) We relate to the three divine persons of
the Trinity in different ways. We are children of the Father,
brothers and sisters of Jesus, the Son, and the temple of the Holy
Spirit. God gives us the free loving gift of his own life through
grace, which is a participation in the life of the Trinity. We
learned about the different titles of Jesus that we find in the
Scriptures like: Christ and Messiah which means “anointed one”,
Rabbi meaning teacher, or even just, Jesus, which means “God
saves”. The church has used these and many other titles for Jesus
throughout her history, but no matter what title of Jesus we use,
he will respond to us with love and grace.
8th Grade (Saturdays) We learned about the beginning of our
church and the creeds that define it. As a class, each student
reviewed and studied various charities to inform them of the
various needs that exist and why, and then we as a class select a
charity to donate to.
