Friendship with Jesus Christ is where Christianity begins. To learn from Christ
and to be fed by him in Holy Communion is the primary reason for Catholic
worship. If Catholics lose sight of that, the awfulness that has come to light
about some of the people of the Church, at all levels of Catholic life, can cause
what might seem at first blush a crisis of faith.

Responding to Domestic Violence in Our Community
On Saturday and Sunday,
December 8 and 9
Fr. Charles W. Dahm, O.P.,
Director of Domestic Violence Outreach for the Archdiocese of Chicago, will preach
at all the Masses at St. Cecilia parish.
Although largely unseen, domestic violence is rampant in the United States, including in our
community. Calls about domestic violence are the most frequent received by local police.
Fr. Dahm will speak with those parishioners interested in learning more about domestic
violence and/or helping our parish respond to the needs of victims in our community as
sensitively and compassionately as we can.
When: Thursday, December 13
Time: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Where: Bernardin Room
5 Reasons to Stay Until the End of Mass
It is an interesting phenomenon. An isolated incident is not that concerning to me. But when half the parishioners
have disappeared to the parking lot before the closing song has ended, it makes my heart a little sad. I want to
say, "You have Jesus inside you! Take a minute to talk to him, to thank him, to love him!". Here are reasons I
stay until the end of Mass:
1. Communion Is About Communing:
When we receive communion, we receive Jesus himself. When we eat and run it is like visiting a friend and the
moment he is able to sit down and be present to us we jump up and run out the door yelling, "It was so great to
spend time with you, see you next week!"
2. It's Not Nice to Be Rude:
My motivation to be on time should not be to avoid embarrassment but because I am going to see Jesus. But
why is it easy for us to leave early and come late when it is the Creator of the Universe who is hoping to see us?
3. Mass Is Not An Activity on a To-Do List:
The Christian life is not a to-do list. It is an invitation to be in relationship with God. If we are going to Mass to
avoid mortal sin, we are missing much. We are called to relationship, to holiness, to transformation.
4. The Final Blessing Is Important:
Blessings are precious. When a priest, who by his ordination is configured to Christ, gives his final blessing, we
are being blessed by God himself. If Jesus were standing ready to give us a blessing before we left Mass and
went back out into the world, wouldn't you wait for it?
5. You Get MORE Grace:
If we are rushing out of church after communion, chances are our disposition is not such that we are reverentially
aware of the amazing fact that we are consuming the body, blood, soul and divinity of God himself. It's heavy
stuff. And it deserves a disposition of great respect, if only because we all need all the grace we can get.

Domestic Violence Awareness.
Children and domestic violence.
Domestic violence in families is often hidden
from view and devastates its victims physically,
emotional, spiritually and financially. It impacts
all family members, especially the children who
learn from it that violence is an acceptable way
to cope with stress or problems. A recent U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) funded study con-
cluded that a majority of children in the United
States have been exposed to violence, crime, or
abuse in their homes, schools, and communities.
These children suffer the effects for the rest of
their lives.
