Dear Parishioners, Normally, I don’t have a problem with writing these bulletin letters. This time, however, I don’t precisely know where or how to begin. This is the first letter, ever, that I will have written under any kind of “quarantine.” This is the first weekend in which I am actually unable to serve my people. Vacations and the like don’t count, of course. Those are voluntary and the services of substitutes are planned. This time, however, nothing is “voluntary.” I can’t celebrate Mass for you, I can’t hear confessions because of factors beyond my control. These things destroy me, and I can’t tell you how sad and sorry I am. However, let me tell you that we should all rejoice in the brotherhood of priests in this diocese! I am humbled by the sacrifices my priestly brothers have made for me, for their willingness to jump in and help YOU! Please remember that the priests who are making these sacrifices are priests of this diocese, not of the FSSP. That said, my superior is devastated that he can offer no priestly help. The Fraternity is stretched to its limit and simply no one can be spared. But the priests here, my colleagues and friends, some known to you, some not, are making heroic sacrifices for you and for me. My thanks to Father Michael McMahon who celebrated Mass last Tuesday. My thanks to Father Michael Pawlowicz who blessed the Epiphany Water. My thanks to Father Balluff who celebrated Mass last Wednesday, the Feast of the Epiphany and who celebrates this Sunday’s 8, 10 and noon Masses. My thanks to Father John Horan who celebrated a Baptism for me Saturday and who celebrates Mass for me this evening in Naperville and who will celebrate Masses here January 11 and 12. So far, dear Family, God has provided for you and for me. He will continue to do so. Please join me in thanking Him for His Goodness and in thanking these valiant priests who have jumped into the breach to serve Him, and help me and you. As of now, the remaining Masses for the remaining weekdays and for next Sunday are still open. If any of my brother priests, who, remember, have their own parishes and duties, are able to celebrate these Masses, rest assured they will, without hesitation. Im sure that theyd love to receive your thanks and expressions of appreciation, be they verbal or written. This is further proof that the Latin Mass is important to and supported by the new bishop, Bishop Hicks, and by the diocese. God bless you, my children.

  • Dear Parishioners,

    Normally, I don’t have a problem with writing these bulletin

    letters. This time, however, I don’t precisely know where or

    how to begin. This is the first letter, ever, that I will have written under any

    kind of “quarantine.” This is the first weekend in which I am actually

    unable to serve my people. Vacations and the like don’t count, of course.

    Those are voluntary and the services of substitutes are planned. This time,

    however, nothing is “voluntary.” I can’t celebrate Mass for you, I can’t hear

    confessions because of factors beyond my control. These things destroy

    me, and I can’t tell you how sad and sorry I am.

    However, let me tell you that we should all rejoice in the brotherhood of

    priests in this diocese! I am humbled by the sacrifices my priestly brothers

    have made for me, for their willingness to jump in and help YOU! Please

    remember that the priests who are making these sacrifices are priests of this

    diocese, not of the FSSP. That said, my superior is devastated that he can

    offer no priestly help. The Fraternity is stretched to its limit and simply no

    one can be spared. But the priests here, my colleagues and friends, some

    known to you, some not, are making heroic sacrifices for you and for me.

    My thanks to Father Michael McMahon who celebrated Mass last Tuesday.

    My thanks to Father Michael Pawlowicz who blessed the Epiphany Water.

    My thanks to Father Balluff who celebrated Mass last Wednesday, the

    Feast of the Epiphany and who celebrates this Sunday’s 8, 10 and noon

    Masses. My thanks to Father John Horan who celebrated a Baptism for me

    Saturday and who celebrates Mass for me this evening in Naperville and

    who will celebrate Masses here January 11 and 12.

    So far, dear Family, God has provided for you and for me. He will continue

    to do so. Please join me in thanking Him for His Goodness and in thanking

    these valiant priests who have jumped into the breach to serve Him, and

    help me and you.

    As of now, the remaining Masses for the remaining weekdays and for next

    Sunday are still open. If any of my brother priests, who, remember, have

    their own parishes and duties, are able to celebrate these Masses, rest

    assured they will, without hesitation. I’m sure that they’d love to receive

    your thanks and expressions of appreciation, be they verbal or written. This

    is further proof that the Latin Mass is important to and supported by the

    new bishop, Bishop Hicks, and by the diocese. God bless you, my children.

    Second Collection: Church in Latin America On January 23

    rd & 24

    th, we will take up a collection for the Church

    in Latin America. For many in Latin American and the Caribbean, a

    rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of

    ministers all present obstacles to practicing the faith. Your support

    for the collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis,

    priestly and religious formation, and other programs to share our

    catholic faith with those who long to hear the Good News of Christ.
