My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle! Thank you for helping me reach my goal of $1,000.00 to give alms to the poor children who suffer from so many different kinds of cancer. Thank you to my Brother Knights Joe and Bruce for taking up the challenge as well! And, of course, brave soul Samantha (pictured above with me), who organized our St. Andrew the Apostle St. Baldrick’s event this past Sunday, February 25th for the second year. Brave, brave soul Samantha!!! For me, it’s just hair! St. Baldrick’s honors kids, “Kids with cancer are our reason for it all.” They’re the inspiration behind our event and the reason we’re helping fund childhood cancer research. We believe all kids should be able to grow up and turn their dreams into realities. Rylie D. Age 14, West Hartford, CT, with a diagnosis (June, 2009) of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Her status is “in maintenance,” and she was treated by the amazing doctors and nurses at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. Rylie loves crafting, going to school and playing with her friends. Rylie has an amazing spirit, full of courage and strength. Rylie embraced her hair-loss. She is happy that her beautiful red hair is growing back, but believes that BALD is BEAUTIFUL! Alice G. Age 2, Ft. Meade, MD, with a diagnosis (June 2016) of Neuroblastoma in her abdomen. Her status also “in maintenance,” and treated at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. Her family went to the ER for a GI bug and after a long stressful week found out it was a mass and scheduled for an MRI. Her last MRI marked one year and the tumor has shrank a small amount. Her Oncology team feels that we can move the MRI’s out to every six months now with a hopeful end date of June 2019 so long as scans continue to show improvement. Thank you all so much for your support! In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor
It looks LIKE THIS! This is what $1,018.44 of almsgiving looks like! THANK YOU TO ALL who participated!!! Samantha has raised over $3,300.00, and she is very grateful. Her original goal was $5,000.00. IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE! Please follow this link this week to give — https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/961717/2018. It would be great if Samantha could reach her goal!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you to everyone who has already made a pledge to the 2018 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA). Your gi s will benefit so many through the thirty ministries our annual appeal supports. Our parish’s goal for the 2018 CMAA is $76,500. Our hope is that every parishioner will contribute as partners in caring, as every gi — large and small — makes a difference. If we raise more than our goal, 70% of the amount paid over goal will be returned to us for our use. This is an amazing opportunity for our parish! Please prayerfully reflect on your pledge to this year’s CMAA. In-pew envelopes are s ll available in the church, or you can make a gi online at jolietdioceseappeal.org.

Intención de Misa
Sr. Jesús José Gómez Diácono Jesse Tagle
Sra. Guadalupe Espinoza
.Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
“YO SOY YAVÉ, TU DIOS . . .” Los Diez Mandamientos son leyes “apodícticas”, que imponen directamente una orden, de manera indiscutible. ¿Que pasaría si en este momento consideráramos las palabras de Pablo y Jesús en las lecturas de hoy no simplemente como una guía, sino como leyes apodícticas? Pablo quiere disipar el desacuerdo entre los cristianos en Corinto y señala la diferencia entre los cre-yentes tibios y “los que Dios ha llamado”. Sus “leyes” basadas en la segunda lectura serían: 1. No pondrás la sabiduría humana por encima de la sabiduría de Dios. 2. No exigirás señales. 3. No pondrás la fuerza humana por encima de la fuerza de Dios. 4. Aceptarás la paradoja de la cruz. ¿Puede un pueblo que ha cantando “Hago siempre lo que quiero” aceptar la dolorosa paradoja de la cruz, que exige que hagamos lo que “Él quiera”? Los “mandamientos” de Pablo exigen sumisión, sacrificio y servicio. Si estuviesen escritos sobre piedra, ¿crearían cristianos más comprometidos o menos gente en la iglesia los domingos? ¿Nos pondrían de rodillas o nos alejarían de la iglesia?
PURIFICACIÓN DEL TEMPLO El Evangelio agrega un mandamiento más a la lista corta de hoy: 5. No usarás la religión como ganancia personal. Debemos mantener nuestros negocios separados de las cosas de Dios. El látigo de cuerdas de Jesús no deja dudas de su misión, y prueba de ello es su sacrificio en la cruz. “Destruyan este templo y en tres días lo reconstruiré”. Sin embargo, ¿podemos aceptar la paradoja de la cruz o constantemente estamos sirviéndonos a noso-tros mismos en el nombre de Cristo? ¿Apreciamos más el éxito, los logros materiales y el poder personal que la humildad, la simplicidad y la compasión? En esta Cuaresma, al prepararnos para dar la bienvenida a los nuevos miembros en nuestras comuni-dades, mostrémosles que nosotros también tenemos una misión —que somos una comunidad de personas que hacemos lo que Él quiere, y no lo que nosotros queremos. Vivamos nuestra vida de acuerdo a los quince “mandamientos”, para que así otros digan de nosotros, y ellos (finalmente) “creyeron (en realidad) en la Es-critura y en las palabras que Jesús había dicho”.
….. CAMINO A MISA ¿Alguna vez se imagino a Jesús enojado? CAMINO A CASA….. ¿Que desea usted cambiar, al punto de apasionarle? ¿ Que haría?

A Message from Father Gregor, our Pastor My dear family of Saint Andrew the Apostle! The maximum number of years which I can serve as pastor for St. Andrew the Apostle Parish will soon be here, coming up this June, 2018. 12 years goes by too quickly! Ever since Thanksgiving of last year, I have off and on cried, as I myself grieve this upcoming change. I am not all cried out yet either! At the same time there is some excitement in my heart for a new move to a new Parish following the Lord's call and serving a new Parish family. My next assignment will be at St. Patrick’s Parish in Joliet, Illinois. Let us continue to pray for one another in this transition, especially since a pastor for Saint Andrew the Apostle has not yet been chosen. Pray that the new pastor for St. Andrew's will be a loving, caring, kind, and wise pastor. Let us enjoy this remaining time God still is giving us to be together as a family. You are, and always will be, in my heart. God bless you all and together let us always and everywhere Praise the Lord!

Please call the parish office by Monday at (815) 886-4165 x301 for the name of your loved one to be placed for 3 weeks on our short term prayer list. Also, please call the parish office, if you are hospitalized and would like a visit from our hospital ministry team or homebound and in need of communion.
Hospital Visitation of Parishioners Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s. Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us at the office, (815) 886-4165 ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!
A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION
CATECHUMENATE The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.
BAPTISM OF CHILDREN
We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.
EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION
Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.
SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT
MARRIAGE
Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.
ORDERS
Those seeking assistance in discerning a call to ordained ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.
SACRAMENTS OF HEALING
RECONCILIATION Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon, 3:00pm, Wednesday evening, 5:45-6:45pm, through seasonal communal services, and by appointment.
ANOINTING
Anointing of the Sick is offered through seasonal services, and always by request. If hospitalized, please immediately seek anointing from the Catholic chaplain.
I would like to have my house blessed. Please contact me to make arrangements.
