Things to Do!!!
There are any number of ways to serve and share Christ and his
church,
listed below are a few available in our parish.
|
40's, 50's
& Better |
| This group promotes
activities - spiritual educational and social - for a slightly older group of
parishioners who are not quite too old. Though events are focused on the needs
of those in the 40's or 50's, there is "flexibility" at the upper end
of the age spectrum. |

Alter Servers |
We really do need your help! One of the very important ministries we can
offer a person your age is to become an Altar Server. When we gather for various
liturgical celebrations, especially Sunday Mass, we are invited to participate
in the fullest way in that worship service. Being an Altar Server is one such
way that we share our God-given gifts with the rest of the parish community. The
Altar Server, as the name suggests, adds to the celebration of the Eucharist by
his or her assistance to the Priest and Deacon presiding at Mass.
I would like to invite you to consider becoming an Altar Server. We have a great
need for good, reliable, and prayerful servers at our liturgies, so I hope you
would feel welcome to join your peers in this ministry. We have a number of boys
and girls in both the School and Religious Education Program who are currently
servers, so if you would like to know more about it, you can ask one of them, or
contact me. Training is offered each fall. |

Anointing
of the Sick |
| This is the special sacrament wherein we ask
for the healing power of the Lord to touch those who are more seriously
ill or those undergoing surgery - of all ages. Ideally this is encouraged
to take place much earlier in the time of sickness than used to be our
custom when we thought this sacrament to be the "last rites".
Having been restored to its earlier meaning in the church, this sacrament
is meant to pray for the physical and/or spiritual strengthening of the
person. |

Hospital Care |
Our Lady of Humility Parish is most concerned
about our sick and about all parishioners who are hospitalized. Call the
rectory and we will most assuredly keep them in our prayers and Mass
intentions.
Midwestern Regional Medical Center : Our Lady of Humility has
primary responsibility for hospital care at this hospital because it is
within our parish boundaries. A priest visits this hospital with
Communion at least once a week. Other Ministers of Communion bring the
Eucharist and visit two or three times during the rest of the week. We
continue to look for enough ministers so that we can visit daily.
Other Hospitals: The other hospitals in the area are primarily
under the care and responsibility of their own neighboring Catholic
parishes. Victory Hospital is cared for by St. Anastasia
parish. Their priests and Ministers of Communion visit regularly
throughout the week. Requests for communion can be made through the desk
or chaplain's office. As they are able, the priests of OLH or other
Ministers of Care do their best to visit patients registered as Catholics
from OLH. St. Therese Hospital is cared for by their own
chaplain(s) or a neighboring parish. Again, if you are missed in the
rounds for communion, please let the desk or chaplain's office know.

Sharing Parish |
| In an effort to be mutually supportive
of parish communities whose income level is low due to poverty or other
causes, the Archdiocese initiated a "Sharing Parish" program.
Our sharing parish is presently Holy Family in Waukegan - a parish of
lower income families and multi-cultural people, who are most grateful for
the help we are able to give them. |

Shop &
Share at Jewel-Osco |

Everyone has a chance to help Mother's Club raise money for our School in a very
painless way just by doing your normal shopping at Jewel next week, Monday
through Wednesday, normally the second week of the month. Jewel will give us a 5% cash return on
your total purchase. Simply turn in a slip when you pay for your groceries. The
checker will write in the total for you and have you sign it. Slips will be
available next weekend by the doors of Church by the bulletins. As always,
thanks for supporting our fundraising efforts.

Vocations
Committee |
When You Think
Of Women Religious, Do You Ever Wonder What Sisters Do?
Members of our Parish have most recently come together to form a Vocations
Committee, and they want to invite you to join them in bringing vocation
awareness to our Parish. The group meets again on July 19th, from 7PM-8PM.
Please prayerfully consider joining this committee. You can submit your name and
telephone number to the Rectory, and someone from the Committee will contact
you. In the meantime, here's the answer to the question above:
A woman religious and her community look together at the needs of the Church and
society to determine where to direct their energies. The way a particular sister
spends her day depends, too, on the kind of community to which she belongs.
Contemplative nuns often work to sustain their community in food and shelter --
doing tasks such as gardening, baking, computer data entry, or handiwork. Active
(apostolic) communities are involved in a myriad of ministries -- usually with
an emphasis on service such as education, social work, or parish pastoral work.
The ministry choices for a woman religious arise from the founding purpose of
her community, a prayerful discernment of her gifts, and an assessment within
her community of the signs of the times. |

Wakes
& Funerals |
| At the death of a Christian, whose life of
faith was begun in the waters of baptism and strengthened at the
Eucharistic table we intercede on behalf of the deceased. We do this
because of our confident belief that death is not the end nor does it
break the bonds forged in life. In the face of death through the priest,
deacon and staff of our Church we confidently proclaim at the wake, that
God has created each person for eternal life. In the funeral Mass we
minister to the sorrowing and console them with comforting word of God and
the sacrament of the Eucharist. Through the celebration of the Christian
funeral we bring hope and consolation to the living. While proclaiming the
gospel we witness to Christian hope in the resurrection... The
funeral rites recall to all who take part in them, God's mercy and
judgment and meet the human need to turn always to God in times of crisis. |
