Pray the Rosary in the Month of May In this month of May, I would like to recall the importance and beauty of the prayer of the holy rosary. Reciting the Hail Mary, we are led to contemplate the mysteries of Jesus, that is, to reflect on the key moments of his life, so that, as with Mary and St. Joseph, he is the center of our thoughts, of our attention, and our actions. It would be nice if, especially in this month of May, we could pray the holy rosary together in the family, with friends, in the parish, or some prayer to Jesus and the Virgin Mary!
-POPE FRANCIS
WEEKDAY MASS SCHEDULE CHANGE

On behalf of The Exchange Club of North Will County, we would like to thank you, Father Maciej, and all the parishioners of St. Andrew. We asked for your help and you exceeded our expectations. We were met with an overflow of support and generosity from the parishioners of St. Andrew and collected $455. We will be splitting the monies from all the donations during the month of April, which is Child Abuse Awareness month, between Guardian Angels in Joliet and BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse). Donations are still going on at any local restaurants for the remainder of the month. On behalf of the recipients of these donations, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the compassionate people at St. Andrew. As a result of your charity, we are able to make these donations to the two organizations mentioned above for the children in abusive situations. This project would not have been as successful if not for your involvement. You have made a direct impact in the lives of these children. Thank you once again for your generosity. God Bless, Gary H fman Fundraising Chairman

Delgadillo, Luis y Ivon Padeja 40 años de Matrinonio
Sexto Domingo de Pascua
AUTORIDAD Y LIDERAZGO EN LA IGLE-SIA PRIMITIVA
En la lectura de hoy tomada de los Hechos, vemos que, establecer las reglas apropiadas para la Iglesia era un problema entonces, y aún hoy sigue siendo tema de discusión. Con oración y discernimiento, arraigados en el Espíritu, consultando a los líderes y luego a los miembros, la Iglesia primitiva desarro-lló un modo de lidiar con esos desacuerdos. El asunto de la circuncisión no era una cuestión senci-lla. Implicaba que los paganos podían venir a la Iglesia de Cristo sin tener que aceptar primero la fe y las prácticas judías. Dispensar de la circuncisión equivalía a reconocer que la fe cristiana era real-
mente algo nuevo y accesible a todos los creyentes. La nueva enseñanza fue promulgada en nombre de todos los miembros de la Iglesia y por el poder del Espíritu Santo.
Pero esta nueva enseñanza no implicaba un rechazo de la fe judía. Los primeros cristianos reconocían el poder de las Escrituras hebreas, leyéndolas con los ojos de la fe cristiana. En la segunda lectura, del Apo-calipsis, la nueva ciudad santa, Jerusalén, incluye los nombres de las doce tribus de Israel. El pasado es parte del futuro. Y en la nueva ciudad santa no hay necesidad de un templo de piedra ni de luz terrenal, porque el único templo que necesitamos es el corazón de Dios y la única luz que necesitamos es la palabra del Cordero de Dios.
AMOR Y PAZ Jesús nos recuerda hoy en el Evangelio de Juan, que permanezcamos en su amor. Jesús nos asegura
que él siempre permanecerá con nosotros, mediante el poder del Espíritu Santo. Ese poder nos dará a cada uno de nosotros paz en nuestro corazón y en nuestra alma. La paz de Cristo nos recuerda en dónde debe estar nuestro corazón: descansando siempre en Dios y en el amor de Cristo Jesús. La paz es un don para el mundo; un don que cada uno de nosotros comparte con los demás cada vez que actuamos en nombre del Señor. En medio de divisiones, guerras e incertidumbres podemos ser mensajeros de paz aferrándonos a los dones que hemos recibido en el bautismo: fe en Cristo, el poder del Espíritu, y la seguridad dentro del corazón de Dios.

After a divorce or a death of a spouse, what used to be US is no longer. It is a life transition that is neither welcome nor easy. And, it is necessary to transition to ME. New Beginnings is a self-help support group where people help people through the difficult experience of death of a spouse, divorce, or in the process of divorce. We are a non-profit ministry of St. Raphael Catholic Church in Naperville. Our focus is on the Spiritual, Intellectual and Emotional growth of our members. Our mission is to provide a supportive and safe environment for all our members, as they adjust to their new roles as a single person again. There are many types of support groups for the divorced and widowed. We encourage you to give us a chance and see if we fit your needs. Members say that New Beginnings has "saved my life". We meet weekly from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday evenings at St. Raphael in Naperville. Come to the back of the building and look for the parish offices. Signs will be posted.
If you’ve been widowed, you know that it feels as though a part of your heart has been torn out. When the time does come that you make a conscious decision to find hope in your life and you want to try to find some joy in your life, the Joyful Again! Widowed retreat is there to help. This ecumenical weekend program is healing, transitional and supportive – depending on where people are in their personal journey through the loss.

WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR GALA GUESTS, Those who came to support our annual gala, to eat a great dinner, enjoy the wonderful company and help raise much-needed funds for SAS, we thank you. You came because you care about our school, our staff, and most importantly our students.
TO OUR VOLUNTEERS,
To those of you who worked hard to create a magical
experience for our gala guests, we thank you. You
assembled baskets, assisted with registration and check
-out, and helped in other unseen ways.
TO THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED,
In any fashion, be it through donating a bottle of wine
or an entire stock-your-bar, providing basket items,
running errands or simply asking “what can I do,”
thank you. Every little detail and donation sincerely
makes a difference and isn’t forgotten. TO OUR GALA CO-CHAIRS,
Susan and Theresa. There are not enough words to
express our gratitude for the amount of work that went
into making the gala an incredible, successful, fun
night. They worked for months and months to execute
a meaningful and engaging event. Their dedication,
hard work, creativity, and the uniqueness’s that each
brought to the gala had helped raise money, made the
night so much fun, and most importantly, helped build
a stronger community. They have shared their time
and talents this year in a way that cannot be measured.
A simple thank you will never be enough, but from the
bottom of our hearts, we say THANK YOU!
May God continue to bless you, all!

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.
Our pantry is open only to Romeoville residents so proof of residency and an ID must be shown upon sign-in each week. If you are a parishioner of St. Andrew and you find yourself in need of food assistance, you are more than welcome to come to the We Care Food Pantry also. Proof of residency is a utility bill with your name and address on it plus your Driver’s License or State of Illinois ID. That must be brought in each time you come for food assistance.
The Pantry is located at 219 Arlington. For further information, please contact Shirley Grzenia at (630) 945-1317. This is the new phone number to call for food pantry inquiries and assistance. Thank you and God Bless.
