"He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the
brokenhearted." (Is 61-1) Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent,
reminds us of God's gift of joy ("gaudium" in Latin) no matter what trials
we are experiencing in our family.
Witness-Hispanic Catholics are a growing part of many parishes in the
archdiocese; read and overview of local Hispanic ministries in the
weeks Witness. A copy can be found on the table in the parish hall.
St. Patrick ministry volunteers: We have experienced an issue with the software that we
were using to generate your monthly schedules. We thank you for your patience and there is
now a schedule for the months of January & February available in the social hall. If you find
you are not being scheduled for your respective ministries, please contact the parish office
as some of our data was lost.
Update from Seminarian Michael McAndrew: Greetings from Mundelein Seminary! I had a great summer in Charles City and Mason City and now I am back at seminary, entering the final weeks of the semester. This semester has helped me to focus my attention on preparing for Deaconate ordination next May (the 25th to be exact!). I am taking 8 classes: Homiletics, Rites Practicum, Theological Reflection III, Sacraments of Healing and Vocation, Pentateuch, Ecclesiology, Canon Law, and Canonical Preparation for Marriage. While some of those titles may sound foreign, the topics are very interesting and practical for priestly ministry. As part of our pastoral formation, all the seminarians have been assigned to local parishes in the Chicago area. I am assisting at St. Paul the Apostle in Gurnee, a large suburban parish with a thriving teen ministry. I’ve enjoyed my experience there and it’s nice to have a chance to interact with people at parishes during the school year. In January, I will go to the Holy Land with my classmates. I am anxious, but mostly excited to go! I continue to be thankful for my internship in Iowa Falls, Eldora, Hampton, and Ackley. I have many fond memories and the experience was invaluable to my own formation for priesthood. Thank you for your continued prayers and know that you are in my daily prayer as well.
St. Patrick Parish Community Life meeting is December 27 at 5pm. Will be
planning activities based on new mass schedule. Questions or comments

Noticias del Seminarista Michael McAndrew: ¡Saludos desde el Seminario de Mundelein! Tuve un gran verano en Charles City y Mason City y ahora estoy de vuelta en el seminario, ingresando a las últimas semanas del semestre. Este semestre me ha ayudado a centrar mi atención en la preparación para la ordenación como Diácono el próximo mes de mayo (¡el día 25 para ser exacto!). Estoy tomando 8 clases: Homilética, Practicum para Ritos, Reflexión sobre Teológica III, Sacramentos de Sanación y Vocación, Pentateuco, Eclesiología, la Ley Canónica y Preparación Canónica para el Matrimonio. Si bien algunos de esos títulos pueden parecer extraños, los temas son muy interesantes y prácticos para el ministerio sacerdotal. Como parte de nuestra formación pastoral, todos los seminaristas han sido asignados a parroquias locales en el área de Chicago. Estoy ayudando en San Pablo Apóstol en Gurnee, una gran parroquia suburbana con un ministerio admirable de adolescentes. Me gustaba mi experiencia allí y es agradable tener la oportunidad de interactuar con personas en las parroquias durante el año escolar. En enero, iré a Tierra Santa con mis compañeros de clase. Estoy emocionado, ¡pero sobre todo estoy sobreexcitado de ir!
Sigo agradecido por mi práctica en Iowa Falls, Eldora, Hampton y Ackley. Tengo muchos buenos recuerdos y la experiencia fue invaluable para mi propia formación para el sacerdocio.
Gracias por sus oraciones continúas y sé que también están en mi oración diaria.

A note from Fr. Tony On behalf of Fr. Kevin Earleywine and all the staff of our linkage parishes, I wish you and your loved ones a very happy and blessed Christmas! I pray that the Spirit of the newborn King will fill you with joy and reassurance of God’s presence in our lives. Even in the challenges that we face, we are never alone. The beauty of the newborn King is that he is the sign of God’s presence among us. God is not far away and distant. God is very close to us and lifts us up if we are open to it. I pray that we will have a renewed encounter with the newborn king, that he will open our hearts, and fill us with his divine life. It is the life and love of Christ that brings hope and light to our lives in this world of darkness. Next weekend will be the final weekend of the current Mass rotation schedule. In two weeks, the weekend of January 6th and 7th, marks the next Mass time rotation. Please see the schedule in the bulletin in regards to the times and new locations. Again, I wish you a joyous Christmas and pray that you will be safe if you are traveling. Have a joyous week!
Una nota del P. Tony En nombre del P. Kevin Earleywine y todo el personal de nuestras parroquias de enlace, ¡les deseo a
ustedes y a sus seres queridos una Navidad muy feliz y bendecida! Oro para que el Espíritu del Rey recién nacido les llene de alegría y seguridad de la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas. Incluso en los desafíos que enfrentamos, nunca estamos solos. La belleza del Rey recién nacido es que Él es el signo de la presencia de Dios entre nosotros. Dios no está lejos y distante. Dios está muy cerca de nosotros y nos eleva si estamos abiertos a ello. Oro para que tengamos un encuentro renovado con el Rey recién nacido, para que abra nuestros corazones y nos llene con su vida divina. Es la vida y el amor de Cristo que trae esperanza y luz a nuestras vidas en este mundo de oscuridad.
El próximo fin de semana será el último fin de semana del programa actual de la rotación de Misas. En dos semanas, el fin de semana del 6 y 7 de enero, marca la próxima rotación de la Misa. Consulten el cronograma en el boletín en cuanto a horarios y ubicaciones nuevas. Nuevamente, les deseo una feliz Navidad y oro para que estén seguros si es que viajen. ¡Que tengan una semana feliz!
