The Orange Ribbon
I still have people asking me about the orange ribbon campaign that St. Eugene Parish participates in.
The orange ribbon represents a prayer for persecuted Christians. Many Christians have been dressed in orange clothing (like criminals) and have been killed in cruel ways by ISIS. To date, more than 170,000 people (mostly Christians and Shiites) were killed in Iraq by ISIS. Christians face being wiped out from the Middle East within 10 years as they are killed by ISIS. Unfortunately, many world leaders are not talking about this genocide.
Wearing the orange ribbon means we will not be silent in the face of such human atrocities. We need to pray that the leaders in Iran and Iraq will be open to change and allow full rights and protection for our Christian brothers and sisters.
There are many causes in our world that need our prayers. We must continue to stand up for the rights of those persecuted for their religious beliefs. We must be a voice in our own country for the unborn, the elderly, and those sick in mind, body, or spirit.
If you are in need of an orange ribbon, let me know so I can order more for our parish.
Yours in Christ,
I want to thank all those who gave a donation toward our electronic sign. We were given a generous $10,000 & $5,000 gift for the project. Our collection on April 2 & 3 came to almost $6,000. Since we have roughly $22,000 of the $25,000 needed, we have decided to begin the process of repairing our sign. It will take up to 2 months to receive the new electronic boards, so please be patient. Thank you,

Prayer with Scripture We invite you to an encounter of prayer where you can stop from the hurry of the moment and listen to God through God’s Word, in silence, meditation, ad-oration and contemplation. In this short but intense time, we listen to a talk that introduces us into the understanding of the Word of God, which later, we reflect on and meditate in an attitude of faith, discov-ering what God is trying to reveal to us. The prayer is accompanied by the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with songs to help the faithful enter more into prayer.

PEOPLE OF THE CROSS UNITED
Libya is located on the northern part of the African continent. The situation for Christians in Libya is deteriorating. Life is increasingly difficult for them. Every Christian faces persecution from their own families and from the society around them. Throughout the country only a few meetings of Christians are scheduled intermittently. Christians often feel isolated. Pray that our Christian brothers and sisters in Libya will be able to protect themselves and find fellowship in their communities.

Highlighting Ministries
St. Eugene Eucharistic Ministers at Mass Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion in the Archdiocese of Chicago are mandated by the Episcopal Delegate to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion during Mass. Mandates are for a three-year period and are renewable. St. Eugene’s Eucharistic Ministers were first mandated in the mid-1970’s. A total of eight Ministers are needed for each weekend and Holy Day Mass (which includes the celebrant and any priests and/or deacons who may be present). St. Eugene currently has approximately 60 Eucharistic Ministers with a minimum of 20 to 25 scheduled each Sunday. Special Masses, such as Christmas, Easter and Holy Days are on a volunteer basis and volunteer sign-up sheets will be available in the sacristy about two weeks prior to the Holy Day. Eucharistic Ministers are assigned to specific weekend Masses on a rotating schedule of about every three weeks. A new schedule is posted quarterly (January, April, July, and October) and copies will be available for pick up in the sacristy in order for Ministers to know, in advance, the dates and times of their assignments. Anyone interested in becoming a Eucharistic Minister at St. Eugene must be confirmed and a registered member of the parish. That person must attend one class before his or her name can be submitted to the Archdiocesan Episcopal Delegate for designation as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
