A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,

Thank you to all the people who have

responded to our Anchors Aweigh

Campaign. We have had about 100 pledg-

es so far. I look forward to those yet to

come. We are blessed by all the good work

Melodie Harding did to put together our

promotional material with Anne West and

Jen Marsh.

Thanks also to Molly Pautz and the great

committee she assembled to pull off a

wonderful Tailgate Party. We had a nice

crowd who really enjoyed themselves. The

music was great. The food was awesome

and the kids had plenty to do with the

bouncy houses that were donated.

This next week, John, Feargal and I go back

to our Parish Catalyst Group to look at what

we have accomplished and where to go in

the future. Since Father Rubén is gone, we

will be without a priest until Thursday even-

ing this week. I ask your patience at daily

Mass with Communion services since there

was no one I could get to celebrate Mass.

Have a Blessed Week!

Father Paul

Barb Haffner, center, was honored at a

banquet last Sunday as Holy Apostles’ 2015

Woman of Inspiration, along with women

from other McHenry County parishes.

Lector Ministry Invites You Grow in knowledge of the Liturgy, share your gifts with

your parish and enhance your speaking skills by volun-

teering as a Lector during Mass. We invite you to attend

a training session on Saturday, October 3, at 2 PM.

The session should last about 2 1/2 hours and will be

held in the church. For further information contact Jim

O’Hagan at 815-385-4038.

Helping Hands Are Needed We are all so busy that we sometimes feel we have no

time to participate in any ministries at Holy Apostles,

but here we offer the opportunity of a valuable yet not

time-consuming ministry: be a “helping hand.” We have

many people in the parish who are at various times in

need of help. A nice home-cooked meal, a cake or cook-

ies, a ride to church or to the store would be so appreci-

ated by them. Would you be willing to volunteer to help

on an as-needed basis for the homebound or for special

events at church? Please contact Jeanne Fraser, Pasto-

ral Care office, at 815-385-5673, x 124, or jfraser@

Thechurchofholyapostles.org.

Take Part in Public Square Rosary All are invited to take part in praying for our nation at a

Public Square Rosary Rally on Saturday, October 10, at

noon at Veterans Memorial Park, Pearl & Court Streets.

Our nation is in great need of prayers—let’s pray together.

Holy Apostles Mission Day—October 17 Many of us would love to reach out and be the face of

God by serving others in need but are unable to take a

mission trip to do so. Mission Day is an opportunity for

everyone to serve people in our community just for a day.

Set aside Saturday, October 17, to work on a team of

parish members to give a hand to

someone who needs assistance

maintaining their homes. Register

online on the parish website or pick

up a form in the narthex.

Are you or do you know someone in

our community (need not be parish

members) who needs help at their

home with cleaning, yard work/

landscaping, painting, or light electrical, plumbing or con-

struction repairs? Let us add your needs to our “to do”

list on Mission Day. (We cannot guarantee that all re-

quests for help will be met.) Contact Joe Filpi at 815-

385-5673 or jfilpi@thechurchofholyapostles.org with your

requests for help.

Jesus’ Greatest Expression of Love... ...is the Divine Eucharist. Take a little time each week to

visit Jesus in the Divine Eucharist in the All Saints Perpet-

ual Adoration Chapel. and thank Him and be refreshed. Pray,

listen, and feel the peace that He gives us so lovingly.

Take a break from your busy life to acknowledge His com-

forting love. Jesus will bless you, your family, and the

whole world for this hour of faith you

spend with Him in the Blessed Sacrament.

Please pray about committing to one of

these open times:

Monday: 8:30 to 9 AM

Tuesday: 4 to 5 PM

Wednesday: 2 to 3 PM

Friday: 2 to 3 PM

Call Mike Thielsen at 815-385-8562 to commit your time.

Adoration Ministry Meeting Scheduled Everyone is highly encouraged to attend a meeting of

current, past, visiting and interested Adorers at our

All Saints Adoration Chapel on Tuesday, October 20, at 7

PM in Sherry Center. For more information about the

meeting and/or about becoming an Adorer, please contact

Mike Thielsen at 815-385-8562 or mthielsen@live.com.

Offer Your Intentions with Candles Four large candles surround the Blessed Sacrament in

the All Saints Perpetual Adoration Chapel, each burning

for 14 days. Request your own personal intentions for

their duration by contacting the Parish Office. The suggested

donation is $15 per candle. From September 27 through

October 10 with these candles, your prayers have been

requested by Debbie Welter, Belen Cervantes and the

Community of Holy Apostles..

A group of Holy Apostles’ staff enjoyed a fun afternoon

last Tuesday of lunch outdoors followed by bowling!

We Share Our Blessings This week, our Parish Tithe will be given to the Saint

Vincent de Paul Society.

Annual Blessing of Animals Our pets are beloved members of our

families. Bring them to receive a

blessing next Sunday, October 4, at

11:30 AM outside near the gazebo in

the Sherry Center parking lot.

Your Prayers and Gifts Help Needy Many of us, at one time or another, have needed to live

paycheck-to-paycheck. Do you remember how one large

bill could throw off your entire budget, leaving you unable to

pay for necessities? The St. Vincent de Paul Society often

helps people in just such a circum-

stance. A higher-than-usual elec-

tric bill left a middle-aged woman

unable to pay for her needed pre-

scription. Thanks to your generosi-

ty to the poor box and SVdPS, this

medicine was purchased and prayers shared with this

thankful individual. This is my commandment, that you

love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12

Be Part of McHenry Area Life Chain Stand with thousands of pro-lifers throughout the US by

being part of the local Life Chain on Sunday, October 4,

2:30 to 3:30 PM, on Richmond Rd. (Rt. 31) and Rt. 120,

in front of St. Mary’s Church, rain or shine. Please arrive

by 2:15 PM. Approved signs will be available at St. Mary’s.

Please remember this is a quiet time of prayer for the

protection of all preborn babies and an end to abortion

so come early to get a sign and say hello before the hour

of silence begins. Bring the whole family and a chair if

you cannot stand. Visit LifeChain.net for details.

Baby Bottle Collection Did you miss the Baby Bottle collection in Lent? Holy

Apostles’ Respect Life Ministry will hold a Baby Bottle

collection starting after Masses on October 3/4, which

is Respect Life Sunday, with the bottle distribution, and

ending after Masses the weekend of October 24/25

with the bottle collection. As

in previous years, at least

50% of the money collected

will be donated to 1st Way

Pregnancy Support

Services, with up to 50% of

the money collected sup-

porting the costs of the Respect Life Ministry. Please

contact Cynthia Heimsoth at 815-245-9813 or

cynthia.heimsoth@gmail.com or any member of the

Respect Life Ministry for more information.

Dementia Discussion Group to Meet Do you have someone you love who is suffering from

some stage of dementia? There are many types of de-

mentia, but it generally involves problems with thinking

or memory. The purpose of this meeting will be to talk

with one another and share stories about your loved

one with dementia. We all can learn from one another.

All are welcome: family members, the person with de-

mentia, the caregiver, friends and anyone who wants to

know more about this condition. Our first meeting will be

Wednesday, October 14, (please note this corrected

date), 1 to 2:30 PM, in St. Ambrose room in Apostles

Bay. This meeting will be facilitated by Don Gaul, whose

wife has dementia. For more information contact

and celebration, the music ministries from both parishes

will be combining to present two epic concerts of Sacred

Contemporary Music to celebrate our respective exist-

ence! Together, we will form a choir of over 60 singers,

along with our Children's Choirs and the various ethnic

nationalities (Spanish, Polish and Filipino) represented

in our communities. A little Irish may show up too! Mark

the following dates in your calendar for one or both of

these exciting events. Admission is free but a basket will

Prayerfully Consider a Cursillo Weekend Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word

meaning “little” or “short course.” The Cursillo weekend

begins on Thursday night and ends on Sunday evening.

Candidates attending live and work together listening to

talks given by religious and lay people to gain a deeper

awareness of their faith. The goal of the Cursillo week-

end is to form small Christian communities or groups

that meet weekly to help us with being accountable in

our faith lives and to help to accomplish the mission of

the Church. It is a blend of seriousness, light hearted-

ness, spiritual exercises, talks and discussions and is

presented in an atmosphere of joy and song. The whole

point of the Cursillo movement is that ordinary people

can steadily grow in love and service of God and man for

the rest of their lives. Christian growth is not easy, but

the Cursillo weekend provides a framework for it, both

during the three days and afterwards.
