A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family, Last week John, Feargal, Emily and I attended our final meeting of Parish Catalyst. We have gone four times over the past two years, with the goal of getting the millennials back to church. The major change in the church is that it was formerly heavily populated by 25 to 45 year old parents with school aged children. Now they go on a basis of 1 of 3, 2 of 5 or 1 of 4 times a month. This has been the trend for the last 15 years that we are now having to address. The major finding is that we need to be authentic. This means people need to experience God in their interactions with people in the church at Mass. We make numerous judgments from our interactions of feeling wanted or welcomed. Do we smile or wave to the family with little children and enjoy them or do we sigh and look like we wish they would have stayed home? Over the past 15 years we emphasized the catechism, but somehow forgot the golden rule. We need to start with the golden rule and move forward. We also have to be more intentional and use your time better, while making our activities more accessible. The other phenomenon I need to bring your attention to is the number of people over 55 and retiring who are leaving the State of Illinois. We have lost at least five couples that I am aware of in the last month or so. These are people who have volunteered for years and been strong stewards of their resources. Our collection is down, so we will study this and figure out what we need to do in the future. I bring you these issues in a calm fashion not to be negative, but to be realistic. There will need to be some changes as we move forward. Have a Blessed Week! Father Paul

Your Gifts Provide a Bridge of Help to Needy Having an apartment or house to come home to after working all day is something many of us take for granted. For a young single resident, his car has become his home. This young man is saving up for a security deposit for his own apartment, but meanwhile has nowhere to shower and rarely gets a hot meal. A visiting Vincentian brought a bag of ready-to-eat meals, filled his car with gas and provided local resources where he can get a daily shower and where he can get a hot meal on various days of the week. Your donations to the St. Vincent de Paul Society Poor Box help make this assistance possible. Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. Proverbs 22:9

“Hope Takes Action” Workshop Offered Hope Takes Action, with a vision to ‘End Poverty Through Systemic Change One Person, One Neighborhood, One Community at a Time’, will present “Bridges Out of Poverty,” an educational workshop required for volunteers who wish to be part of this program.

Support Walk for Catholic Education The McHenry Catholic Order of Foresters is sponsoring a walk to assist Montini Catholic School with painting of portions of the schools and parents in paying the tuition costs for a Catholic Education at Montini. Several areas of the school are in need of fresh paint and currently the funds to do so are not available for this work. Also, tuition costs for a Catholic education have risen and enrollment has decreased. Our goal is to help lower income families afford a Catholic education for their children. The Walk is on Saturday, October 15, with registration at 8 AM and the walk at 9 AM. It is a 3 mile walk beginning at Shamrock Farm Park, 6402 Dartmoor Dr. , McHenry. A one mile walk is also available. All entrants are asked to raise a minimum of $10 to be eligible for the walk. All funds raised are due at registration with checks payable to "COF". Registration and a pledge form is available online at www.cof594.com and also on Page 10 of this bulletin. The walk is open to adults and children who raise a minimum of $10. Teams are also welcome with a minimum per team of $50 for six or more walkers. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to Montini for the two needs listed above. The Catholic Order of Foresters' home office will match $1 for $1 the first $1,000 we raise and $.50 for each of the next $1,000 we raise.

Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Conociendo Nuestra Fe Cristiano es quien tiene a Cristo como Señor Cristiano es mi nombre, y Católico mi apellido. El primero me denomina, mientras que el otro me instituye específicamente. De esta manera he sido identificado y registrado... Cuando somos llamados Católicos, es por esta forma, que nuestro pueblo se mantiene alejado de cualquier nombre herético." San Pacián de Barcelona, Carta a Sympronian, Año 375 Después de Cristo Hechos 11,25-26: “Bernabé salió para Tarso en busca de Saulo, y apenas lo encontró lo llevo a Antioquia. En esta Iglesia trabajaron juntos durante un año entero, instruyendo a muchísima gente, y fue en Antioquia donde los discípulos por primera vez recibieron en nombre de Cristianos. ¿Cuándo se empieza a ser cristiano? El día en que una persona es bautizada comienza a ser cristiana porque a partir de ese momento comienza a ser hijo de Dios, haciendo parte del nuevo pueblo de Dios. El bautismo, de consecuencia, nos hace hermanos de Jesucristo. ¡Qué gran honor y orgullo! El cristiano católico acepta la plenitud de la fe revelada por Cristo y contenida en la Sagrada Escritura, en el Magisterio de la Iglesia católica y en la Tradición, participa de los sacramentos y reconoce la autoridad del Papa (sucesor de San Pedro) y de los obispos unidos al Santo Padre (sucesores de los demás apóstoles) se utilizaba antes de la época de esta escritura. Las Cuatro Pilares de la Iglesia Católica la encontramos en la Biblia y en el Credo CREO EN LA IGLESIA QUE ES UNA. “Para que todos sean uno. Como tú, Padre, en mí y yo en ti, que ellos también sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me has enviado”.(Jn 17,21; Jn 10,14; Ef 4,4-5) ES SANTA. “La fe confiesa que la Iglesia… no puede dejar de ser santa (Ef 1,1). En efecto, Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, a quien con el Padre y con el Espíritu se proclama ‘el solo santo’, amó a su Iglesia como a su esposa (Ef 5,25). Él se entregó por ella para santificarla, la unió a sí mismo como su propio cuerpo y la llenó del don del Espíritu Santo para gloria de Dios” (Ef 5,26-27). La Iglesia es, pues, “el Pueblo santo de Dios” (1 Pe 2,9), y sus miembros son llamados “santos” (Hch 9, 13; 1 Co 6, 1; 16, 1). ES CATOLICA. “Y yo te digo que tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra voy a construir mi iglesia; y ni siquiera el poder de la muerte podrá vencerla” (Mateo 16,18). Posee la plenitud que Cristo le da (Ef 1,22-23).Es católica porque ha sido enviada por Cristo en misión a la totalidad del género humano (cf Mt 28, 19) ES APOSTOLICA El Señor Jesús dotó a su comunidad de una estructura que permanecerá hasta la plena consumación del Reino. Ante todo está la elección de los Doce con Pedro como su Cabeza (cf. Mc 3, 14-15); puesto que representan a las doce tribus de Israel (cf. Mt 19, 28; Lc 22, 30), ellos son los cimientos de la nueva Jerusalén (cf. Ap 21, 12-14). .

Los Doce (cf. Mc6, 7) y los otros discípulos (cf. Lc 10,1-2) participan en la misión de Cristo, en su poder, y también en su suerte (cf. Mt 10, 25; Jn 15, 20). Con todos estos actos, Cristo prepara y edifica su Iglesia.2 Tim 2,2

Agradecimiento El pasado 12 de Septiembre la comunidad hispana tuvo la bendición de ser invitada por el "Ministerio de cocina” a organizar, preparar y servir la cena para las personas "sin hogar" de la ciudad de McHenry. Realmente fue una hermosa experiencia ver con cuanto amor y dedicación como miembros de una misma Iglesia nos unimos una vez mas para ver mas allá de raza, color, estatus social y entregarnos simplemente a ver el rostro de nuestro Señor Jesucristo tanto en los servidores como en las personas sin hogar que llegaron a dicho evento. Según nos informaron los miembros del ministerio que fue un Lunes de los mejores en meses ya que se pudo servir alimentos a mas de 90 personas. Nada de esto hubiese sido posible sin la generosidad y disponibilidad de los ahí presentes, (Ver la foto en la siguiente pagina.) GRACIAS! Dios les multiplique este hermoso gesto con amor, paz, unidad y bienestar en su hogar.
