Third Sunday of Easter

Prayer for Union with God

O God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,your love for us is so immensethat you gave us your Sonto live and dine with us,indeed, to be one with us.Through your Son, we have come to know you,and to be united with you.As we continue to share in the Eucharist at the liturgy,bring us into union with you.Help us to be open to your Word in the Scripturesand to allow it to guide our livesas we seek to be perfected in Christ.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirt,one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Birthday Celebrations

The second Gospel was written by St. Mark, who, in the New Testament, is sometimes called John Mark. Both he and his mother, Mary, were highly esteemed in the early Church, and his mother’s house in Jerusalem served as a meeting place for Christians there.

St. Mark was associated with St. Paul and St. Barnabas (who was Mark’s cousin) on their missionary journey through the island of Cyprus. Later he accompanied St. Barnabas alone. We know also that he was in Rome with St. Peter and St. Paul. Tradition ascribes to him the founding of the Church in Alexandria.

St. Mark wrote the second Gospel, probably in Rome sometime before the year 60 A.D.; he wrote it in Greek for the Gentile converts to Christianity. Tradition tells us that St. Mark was requested by the Romans to set down the teachings of St. Peter. This seems to be confirmed by the position which St. Peter has in this Gospel. In this way the second Gospel is a record of the life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of the Prince of the Apostles. His feast day is April 25. He is the patron saint of notaries.

Parish Transformation at St. Andrew

St. Andrew is embarking on a Parish Transformation Journey - Saint Andrew becoming - and being - the best that it can be. Moving beyond doing things as we have always done them, and daring to imagine exciting new possibilities for deepening our sense of mission, our connection to Christ, and our communion as a community of faith.

The plan will transform St. Andrew through goals and ideas to foster closer relationships with Christ. Full details of the plan available online: http://www.saintandrewchicago.com/church/parish-transformation

One of our first initiatives is to create a new welcoming committee. We have many people who have already expressed interest in this initiative but we need more help!

Volunteers will work to: 1. Welcome new school and parish families and inviting them to attend events. 2. Organize greeters for Mass. 3. Volunteer at a welcome table at the back of the church at Mass. 4. Pair new church and school families with established families.

To learn more or sign up please complete an interest form found online at: http://www.saintandrewchicago.com/church/parish-transformation. Be sure to indicate your interest in the welcome committee. You may also express interest by calling the Rectory at (773) 525-3016.

Check the bulletin for weekly updates on our progress.

What is Parish Transformation?

Parish Transformation was created by the Chicago Archdiocese for all parishes to complete. Father Romo volunteered St. Andrew to participate sooner rather than later because he was so excited about it!

Last summer parishioners were asked to volunteer for a 12 week Parish Transformation process and 25 people raised their hands.

By December a plan was created to transform St. Andrew following 4 building blocks: Communio, Prayer & Worship, Catechesis and Missionary Spirit.Objectives, Goals and Ideas were formed around each one of these building blocks.

You can read the full plan on our website at: http://www.saintandrewchicago.com/church/parish-transformation

If you have questions you can email: parishtransformation@saintandrewchicago.com or call the Rectory at (773) 525-3016.
