From the Pastor
Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time August 24, 2014
During his time as pastor (2007-2009), Fr. Pat Harrity, CM, published a weekly reflection based upon the writings of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac or St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. These Vincentian reflections, as well as Fr. Pat’s thoughts, are truly timeless. This summer we will re-publish these articles in place of Fr. Jeremy’s reflection so we can grow together in our understanding of our Vincentian history and to honor Fr. Pat, a great priest and Vincentian, who passed away in 2012.
In a conference that St. Vincent gave to the first members of the Daughters of Charity in February of 1646, he reminds them that change takes place both within themselves and also regards their Community. St. Vincent was always aware of how God’s grace was present and always reflected his Providential care. Let us listen to St. Vincent as he addresses those early Sister members.
“And that, my Daughters, was the beginning of your Company; as it was not then what it is now, there is reason to think that it is not now what it will be later on...” (Coste, DC Conf, Feb. 13, 1646, p. 218)
Our lives are like being on a journey. We are able to see some things clearly but we never know what lies around the next turn. God has a plan where each of us is concerned and it unfolds only very slowly. We truly become what God wants us to become and this all happens in God’s good time. This is not always easy to admit, nor even to be convinced of, but our faith demands that we give some credence to God’s presence and care. We need to be open to that journey and the possibilities it offers. Our life and our work are truly in God’s hands according to St. Vincent and his words to the early Daughters.
Today, Lord, help me to notice those unexpected graces you place in my path.

“What Halos Often Hide: A Case Study of Saint Vincent de Paul”
One of Catholic Theological Union’s “Sundays at CTU”
Saint Vincent de Paul lived from 1581 to 1660 and was canonized in 1737. Since that time, he has been portrayed almost universally as a kindly old man, carrying an orphan in his arms or reaching down to pick one up from the snow. These sentimental images do not do justice to the force of will and holiness which characterized this bold and uncompromising Church reformer and defender of the poor. This talk will explore the ways in which saints’ halos and pious myths too often blunt the force of their true evangelical witness.
Presenter: Rev. Edward R. Udovic, C.M. Sunday, September 7th at 3:00 p.m.
5416 S. Cornell Ave., Chicago 210 - Second Floor
Complimentary parking available in the CTU garage. For more information, visit http://www.ctu.edu/programs-amp-centers/event/sundays-ctu-case-study-saint-vincent-de-paul?date=2014-09-07.

A presentation in the parish center by Sister Betty Ann McNeil, D.C. on the faith-filled life of mother, wife, and Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. A 20th century saint and a foundational part of our Vincentian heritage, Elizabeth Ann Seton is an inspiring woman.

especially Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. She has been a member of the Vincentian Studies Institute since 1988 and currently serves on its editorial board. Her publications include “The Vincentian Family Tree,” a survey of all communities related to Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Louise de Marillac, and the Vincentian Family, published by the Vincentian Studies Institute in 1996. She has also written and edited numerous volumes on Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, as well as histories of the Daughters of Charity in the United States, including their service as nurses in the Civil War, and has given numerous presentations nationally and internationally on these same topics. The former provincial archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Province of St. Louise, Emmitsburg campus, Sister Betty Ann came to DePaul University as Vincentian Scholar-in-Residence with the Office of University Mission and Values in 2012. Donations of paper towels or toilet paper will be collected for the food pantry. RSVP not required but recommended to [email protected].

Mass Offerings

Reconciliation: Saturday afternoon, 4:15 to 4:50 p.m. in the Reconciliation Room in the church, or please call the Parish Center for an appointment.
Baptism: All are welcome to inquire about our Baptismal program at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. We do encourage you to register your family as parishioners and become active in our community. Please contact Mary Jo Polark ([email protected]) at the parish center to register for a Baptism preparation class. The classes are facilitated by our Deacon, Dean Vaeth, and are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the parish center. You may attend this class either before or after your child is born. Following class attendance and after your child is born, please contact Mary Jo to schedule a date for your baby’s Baptism. Baptisms are celebrated on the 4th Sunday of the month at 11:30 a.m. with Deacon Dean Vaeth presiding, or during a regular Sunday mass. We limit the number of baptisms at each ceremony to seven. The sacrament of Baptism is not celebrated during the Lenten season.
Marriage: Please contact Mary Jo Polark ([email protected]) at the Office of the Pastor to discuss the celebration of the sacrament of marriage here at St. Vincent’s, or in another parish concerning preparation and prenuptial matters. For baptized Catholics, the proper and valid form of celebrating the sacrament of marriage is within a Catholic church in the presence of a priest or deacon. The first item to plan is the selection of a date and time. In order to celebrate the sacrament of marriage at St. Vincent’s one needs to be registered parishioner for four months prior to discussion of a date. Weddings at St. Vincent’s are celebrated on Saturdays only, at 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. Weddings are not celebrated during the season of Lent, Holy Week, or Saturdays that conflict with other parish events. Mary Jo Polark at the Office of the Pastor confirms all reservations for weddings.
Anointing of the Sick: To receive the Sacrament of the Sick, please contact the pastor at the Parish Center.
Holy Orders / Religious Life: Please contact Fr. Jim Osendorf, C.M. by phone at 1-800-depaul-1 or by email at [email protected].
