Dear parishioners You may know that the three principles of the Christian stewardship are time, talent and treasure. The truth is that stewardship involves all of life – body, mind and spirit, our material possessions, friendships, etc. All we are and have is a gift from our Creator for us to use wisely to build up God’s kingdom here on earth. In this regard, the parable of the gospel for this Sunday is about the master who entrusted his possessions to his servants, each one with different talents. We know the outcome: the industrious servants are rewarded, the lazy servant is punished. Such confidence the master had in his servants as he commended his possessions to them. But not all servants proved to be trustworthy. One of them, controlled by fear did nothing to increase what had been given him. Fear can surely paralyze us and cause us to lose everything. As disciples who are entrusted with different talents, we are called to unveil those qualities given by Christ and make them grow as persons and as Christians. All of us have been blessed with various talents, whether we are aware of it or not, or whether we have developed our talents or not. Of course, it is usually not possible to develop all of our talents. But, ideally, we can and should develop some of them and use them wisely to bless the communities we belong to. As the gospel of this weekend invites us to report an account of the talents received, allow me to present to you an update of the To Teach Who Christ Is (TTWCI) campaign. Out of $461,880 of total pledges, parishioners have paid $93,557 thus far. As part of the goal campaign, 40% of it is designated to the Archdiocese and 60% to the parish which represents $56,134. With these funds, before my coming to the parish, $19,500 was invested in the remodeling of the St. Joseph’s room and a parish center’s bathroom. During July and August of this year, we used $5,124 for the remodeling of the Music room. In October, the parish finance council approved estimates we received, to allocate $12,950 from the TTWCI Campaign for the pavement of the church’s alley which has been completed and $28,118 for the lighting of the parking lot which will begin at the end of November. The plan is to install 4 LED poles and replace the existing lamps on the wall outside with LED the building facing the parking lot. We hope to use $7000 from the Campaign to defray some of the cost of remodeling of the new parish offices. As I mentioned in my previous letter, relocating the parish offices, will facilitate parishioners and volunteers to easy access to the facilities especially in winter; it will also allow all to have a better handicap access and a staff member will always be available to the parishioners during the office hours. I remind you that the new parish office mailing address

Queridos feligreses Usted puede saber que los tres principios de la

corresponsabilidad cristiana son el tiempo, el talento y el tesoro. La verdad es que la corresponsabilidad involucra a toda la vida: cuerpo, mente y espíritu, nuestras posesiones

materiales, amistades, etc. Todo lo que somos y tenemos es un regalo de nuestro Creador para que lo usemos con

sabiduría para edificar el reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. En este sentido, la parábola del evangelio para este

domingo es sobre el maestro que confió sus posesiones a sus siervos, cada uno con diferentes talentos. Sabemos el resultado: los siervos industriosos son recompensados, el

siervo perezoso es castigado. La confianza que el maestro tenía en sus sirvientes mientras elogiaba sus posesiones para ellos. Pero no todos los sirvientes demostraron ser

confiables. Uno de ellos, controlado por el miedo, no hizo nada para aumentar lo que se le había dado. El miedo

seguramente nos puede paralizar y hacer que perdamos todo. Como discípulos a quienes se nos han confiado

diferentes talentos, estamos llamados a revelar las cualidades que Cristo nos ha dado y hacer que crezcan

como personas y como cristianos. Todos nosotros hemos sido bendecidos con varios talentos, ya sea que

estemos conscientes o no, o si hemos desarrollado nuestros talentos o no. Por

supuesto, generalmente no es posible desarrollar todos nuestros talentos. Pero,

idealmente, podemos y debemos desarrollar algunos de ellos y usarlos sabiamente para

bendecir a las comunidades a las que pertenecemos.

Como el evangelio de este fin de semana nos invita a dar cuenta de los talentos recibidos, permítanme presentarles

una actualización de la campaña Enseñar Quies Es Cristo - TTWCI. De los $461,880 de las promesas totales, los

feligreses han pagado $93,557 hasta el momento. Como parte de los objetivos de la campaña, el 40% de la misma se

destina a la Arquidiócesis y el 60% a la parroquia, que representa $56,134. Con estos fondos, antes de venir a la

parroquia, $19,500 estuvieron invertidos en la remodelación de la salón de San José y un baño de las

oficinas del centro parroquial. Durante julio y agosto de este año, utilizamos $5,124 para la remodelación del salón

de música. En octubre, el consejo de finanzas de la parroquia aprobó las estimaciones que recibimos para

asignar de la Campaña TTWCI $12,950 al pavimento del callejón de la iglesia que se ha completado y $28,118 para la iluminación del estacionamiento que comenzará a fines

de noviembre. El plan es instalar 4 postes de LED y reemplazar con LED las luces existentes en la pared

exterior del edificio que da al estacionamiento. Esperamos utilizar $7000 de la Campaña para sufragar parte del costo

de la remodelación de las nuevas oficinas parroquiales. Como mencioné en mi carta anterior, la reubicación de las

oficinas parroquiales facilitará a los feligreses y voluntarios el fácil acceso a las instalaciones

and entrance will be 1880 Ash Street. Coming projects from the TTWCI Campaign will be the pavement of the parking lot, remodeling the school bathrooms & maintenance of the roof’s building. I thank you for those who are fulfilling the Campaign pledges and ask you to continue making your payments to defray the improvements to our buildings mentioned above. For those who have not contributed yet to the campaign, this will be an opportunity to support these and next parish projects. Remember your contribution makes us better stewards by taking care of our facilities which benefit future parishioners and us. To support the parking lot lighting, you can drop an envelope in the collection basket on Sundays marking your name and specifying that your donation will be for this project. Regarding the religious sisters to minister at the parish, I contacted the headquarters of the Sisters of Jesus the Good Shepherd located in Rome and presented to them the opportunity to assist the parish especially in the area of evangelization and the coordination of the Religious Education programs. They have accepted the idea and are considering bringing two religious sisters from both the Philippines and Mexico who will live in the Parish Center’s house. I do want this process to be guided by the Holy Spirit and the intercession of St. Stephen Protomartyr, therefore we need the approval from Archbishop Blase Cupich to consider this proposal and be able to initiate this process. I have written a letter to him, and I ask you, please keep his response and intentions in your prayers for this to happen.

In Jesus and Mary,

especialmente en invierno; también permitirá que todos tengan un mejor acceso para discapacitados y un miembro

del personal siempre estará disponible para los feligreses durante el horario de oficina. Les recuerdo que la nueva

dirección y entrega de correo de la oficina parroquial será 1880 Ash Street. Los próximos proyectos de la Campaña

TTWCI serán el pavimento del estacionamiento, la remodelación de los baños de la escuela y el mantenimiento

del techo del edificio. Les agradezco a aquellos que están cumpliendo con las

promesas de la Campaña y le pido que continúen haciendo sus pagos para sufragar las mejoras a nuestros edificios

mencionados anteriormente. Para aquellos que aún no han contribuido a la campaña, esta será una oportunidad para

apoyar estos y los próximos proyectos parroquiales. Recuerde que su contribución nos hace mejores

administradores cuidando nuestras instalaciones que benefician a los futuros feligreses y a nosotros. Para apoyar la iluminación del estacionamiento, puede dejar un sobre en

la canasta de recolección los domingos marcando su nombre y especificando que su donación será para este

proyecto. Con respecto a las religiosas para el ministerio en la

parroquia, contacté con la sede de las Hermanas de Jesús el Buen Pastor ubicadas en Roma y les presenté la

oportunidad de ayudar a la parroquia especialmente en el área de evangelización y la coordinación de los programas

de Educación Religiosa. Han aceptado la idea y están considerando traer dos hermanas religiosas de Filipinas y

México que vivirán en la casa del Centro Parroquial. Quiero que este proceso sea guiado por el Espíritu Santo y

la intercesión de San Esteban Protomártir, por lo tanto, necesitamos la aprobación del Arzobispo Blase Cupich para

considerar esta propuesta y poder iniciar este proceso. Le escribí una carta a él, y le pido a usted que eleve oraciones

para que esta iniciativa se lleve a cabo. En Jesús y María,

From the Pastor
