Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” From the Pastor’s Desk Think of it as a magnificent tapestry! There is our heavenly dwelling with God; there is the Holy Temple in Jerusalem where God resided with His chosen people; there is the great church of St. John Lateran in Rome which we commemorate today; there is our parish church; there is the People of God we call the Church; and there is you – the temple of the Holy Spirit. It’s a wonderful panorama of visions and also real places and peoples. Do we need places of worship? There are plenty of people in this world who never enter the doors of a Church or temple or shrine. There are others who practice their religion occasionally as on Christmas or Easter. It seems that a “feeling” of spirituality suffices for them, if they care at all. Some protest that they experience more “spirituality” outside institutional churches and buildings and congregations than they do within them. And then there are most of the readers of this bulletin – the men and women who take the notion of worship of God seriously. As we do our everyday business and engage in our various responsibilities, the awesome presence of Jesus Christ, in the Eucharist, is with us. To people of faith, the importance of a worship space is not taken for granted. It is there that we go for inspiration, for sustenance, for strength, for hope. There, we are assured of Emanuel, God is with us. When we celebrate this feast of the dedication of the November 9, 2014 great church of St. John Lateran in Rome, in which I had a chance to visit couple years ago, I think of this magnificent, Roman basilica as a person; I think of our church as a person, it’s the Lord in our midst, around whom we all come together, we care for and we support it. In this weekend bulletin, you will find a financial report of our parish for the fiscal year from July 2013 June 2014. You can learn from it how we managed and spent your money. Take your time to examine it. The report does not cover the expenses of the pews and floor since they were done after June 2014. Reflecting upon it, I just want to thank you for your trust and support in my first year being your pastor. I am humbled by your generosity that has helped us to come thus far. What Fr. Larry started and worked hard on, we brought to its completion. I hope you like what you accomplished together over the last few years. Let’s relax financially a bit before we get into something new... I think the celebration of our anniversary this weekend is very fitting. Let us enjoy the fruit of our work and God’s blessings in our lives. If you have any questions regarding of the financial report, feel free to call me or contact any Finance Committee member. The final prayer of the Mass today says: “By partaking of this sacrament, may we be made the temple of your grace.” To that we say: “Amen” and we thank God for our church that we are so proud of and for the people that make it up. Thank you for your continuous support of SS. Cyril & Methodius Church. Happy Anniversary! - Fr. Valdi Altar Server Appreciation Mass Bishop Andrew Wypych invites Altar Servers of the parishes of Vicariate V and their families to join him in this celebration!

Cyril & Methodius Parish School Dear Parents, During the month of November our school is remembering deceased members of our families. Names are being put on candles which will be displayed in the lobby. We will also remember them each day during our morning prayers. This idea was suggested and planned by our school’s Faith Club. This past Monday we took a few moments to recognize the students in our school who have truly demonstrated kindness to others since school began in August. These students went “above and beyond” to help someone in need. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

November 9, 2014 Tri-Parish Anointing of the Sick Bilingual Mass On Saturday, November 15th, SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish will celebrate the Anointing of the Sick at the 11 AM Mass. This will be a bilingual (English-Polish) Mass. We extend an invitation to those in our Tri-Parish Family who feel that the Celebration of Anointing will provide help for them in sickness and aging of their bodies. In the past, the anointing was done near the time of death. Theology today understands anointing as the Sacrament of the Sick rather that at the time of approaching death. The Anointing of the Sick is the prayer of Christ and His Church for the physical and spiritual health of the sick person. Who may be anointed? В™ В™ В™ В™ В™ A sick person may be anointed before he/she undergoes surgery, whether or not the surgery is serious. Persons with chronic illness. Older persons, even if they are not suffering from dangerous illness. Mentally disabled persons and chemically dependent persons. A sick child may be anointed in order to be comforted and uplifted by the Sacrament. After the Mass, there will be a luncheon for all those who attend in our school gym. In order for us to prepare for this luncheon, we ask that you RSVP by calling Trish at 630-257-9314 or emailing her at religed@stcyril.org no later than Wednesday, November 5th. You can also fill out the form below and return it in the collection basket. ——————————–——————————–—— Anointing of the Sick Luncheon RSVP Name: ________________________________________ How many will attend: __________________________ Please RSVP no later than November 5th.

Caring parishioners remove the ornamental tags, and return them attached to wrapped gifts they have generously purchased.

Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” Have You Had Your Home Blessed? The blessing of households / houses is part of the heritage of Catholic Tradition. The primary focus of such blessings is the people who live in the dwelling place and the use that they make of the place and its several parts. Those who participate in these blessings acknowledge that the place in which the family dwells ultimately is a gift from God and ask for God to be always present in their lives. People pray that their household may be an instrument of God’s blessing in society and all of creation and affirm that the people who dwell in these homes are a holy people set apart for God’s work. Household blessings remind us that we need to be compassionate toward those persons who have no housing and always be welcoming to the stranger. If you have just moved into your house, have never had your house blessed or have recently completed some major construction work, please feel free to call the rectory and set an appointment for Fr. Valdi or Deacon Mike to pay a visit.
