Pastor’s Corner by Frieda Bertello

WE REMEMBER …

It’s Memorial Day 2018 - A time when Americans will enjoy a three day weekend with parades, barbecues,

picnics, ceremonies, speeches, decorating graves, and yes, even shopping.

As a child, I remember Memorial Day because we had a gigantic neighborhood picnic. Families would bring

hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, potato salad, watermelon, cookies, cake – you name it – and all of us kids

could drink all the pop we wanted all day long. We would compare our red, orange and purple tongues to see

who drank the most pop. We stayed up way past our bedtimes, running, singing, playing and waving sparklers

amid motherly shouts of “Be careful! Don’t burn your fingers!”

But as the years have gone by, I see Memorial Day with new eyes. The older family members lived Normandy,

Monte Casino, planted Victory Gardens and donated metal and rubber for the war effort. No one talked about

Vietnam. Now I watch all the old movies – Saving Private Ryan, Bridge on the River Kwai, Patton, and my

favorite, Good Morning, Vietnam. Every year I look forward to Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna’s Memorial Day

Salute to those in the armed forces, past and present, and wipe my eyes thru every song, tribute and story.

I even stand to salute the flag. This might seem corny; but I still believe in the credos that fostered this nation.

I know we are not “a perfect Union”. However, I am proud to be an American and am grateful to the men and

women who have served our country. It is in this spirit that I share some of the following statements:

My brother told me that if he didn’t come home from Iraq, that we should tell people that he did his

job. He didn’t come home.

To me, Memorial Day is the day we remember what it means to be a hero.

Memorial Day is a day we are reminded of what combat veterans have given to this country, whether

it’s years of service, the first year of their marriage, or their lives. Every combat veteran has given

something to this country, without asking for anything in return.

Taking a day to remember those who fought for freedom. Not just our freedom, but the freedom of

millions around the world.

To remember why we can do the things we do and why we have things we have. Thanksgiving is the

time we stop to be thankful for what we have but Memorial Day is the day we stop and be thankful

for our soldiers and the country they have defended for us.

For many Americans, Memorial Day means sales, cookouts, family get-togethers and parades. For

others, it’s an empty seat at the picnic table. Someone’s son, daughter, father or mother, grandfather

or grandmother made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom’s and liberties we all enjoy.

So while you’re enjoying the steaks, burgers or hot dogs, potato salad and baked beans, take a moment at

3:00PM on Memorial Day – a National Moment of Remembrance - to remember how blessed we are in this

great country and those who kept us safe. While you honor their loss, celebrate and savor their lives and

always remember. I believe that’s all they would have asked in return.

In Peace, Frieda Bertello

In Loving Memory

MEMORIAL DAY

"No one has greater love than this,

to lay down one's life for one's

friends." Christians are no strangers

to sacrifice. Jesus lays down his life

for our redemption, martyrs remain

faithful to the end, and every

believer faces "deaths" in the

spiritual life when love requires a re-

ordering of preference and priority.

On Memorial Day, we honor those

who laid down their lives for their

nation and for the values we hold

dear - freedom, justice, and a better

world for our children. In a day that

often fills with barbeques and boat

launches, remember to take some

time in prayer! Intercede for those

who have died and for the loved

ones they left behind, and pray for

peace on earth.

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O

Lord, and may perpetual light shine

upon them.

Pray for the Sick

SHARING IS CARING

Last week, we thanked all the volunteers who picked up food,

sorted and unpacked thousands of pounds of food collected from

the Postal Carrier Food Drive. Almost 15,000 pounds of food

filled the shelves of the Food Pantry to overflowing.

We called the Pro Labore Dei (Robbins) Food Pantry and they

came and loaded up their van with the overflow. They were

ecstatic!

On Tuesday, May 15, the van traveled to St. John Fisher School. There Pro Libore Dei volunteers and

25 seventh grade school children unloaded, sorted and put together grocery bags. 130 bags of

food were distributed to the hungry.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a

stranger and you invited me in.” Matt 25:35 All the volunteers - from the generous donors to the postal

carriers to the volunteers at St. Damian and children from St. John Fisher – all gave of their time and

effort to care for those who have less.

Bring your grills and your cooler for an afternoon of

barbeque and socializing in a relaxed, informal setting.

Bring the kids for some unorganized, old-school fun: tag,

kick the can, wiffle ball...anything that gets them to unplug

and enjoy God's fresh air! Lock up the family phones and

rediscover the lost arts of conversation and imagination.

CORPUS CHRISTI

Processions are not indigenous to Americans. We Americans prefer parades.However, we do participate in some. We honored a few of our presidents:John F. Kennedy, and before him, Franklin Delano Roosevelt with funeralprocessions; and were glued to the TV during the tragic death of PrincessDiana of England. In 2017, we witnessed the Chicago Cubs World SeriesTrophy Procession.

On June 3, we will celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christ, acknowledging theReal Presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in theEucharist. As Catholics, can show our love for Christ in the Real Presence byhonoring Him in a very public way – a procession.

In preparation for this feast day, there will be 40 Hours of Adoration in theChapel beginning Friday, June 1 at 3:00 PM and ending Sunday, June 3 at6:45 AM. There will be sign-up sheets in the Narthex to choose a time slot.All are encouraged to spend some time with Jesus in silent prayer andreflection during this time.

So join us in procession after the 12:30 PM Mass. Refreshments and lightsnacks will be served afterwards.

Join the Owen W. Winter, Jr. VFW

Post 4241 and the City of Oak

Lancers Lead Math Competition

St. Damian Mathletes sponsored a Math Tournament at Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart in Chicago’s Wicker

Park. Four other Chicago area Catholic Junior High Schools were no match for our Mathletes. Team members are

James Recera, Michael Morrell, Joshua Mogbo, Alexis Bacchus, Dominic Cardinal and Angelo Valentine. Mr. Randall

Postiglione, St. Damian Math instructor, serves as the Mathlete Moderator.

8th Grader James Recera got 24 out of 25 correct on the Individual Competition and led his team to victory in the Team

Competition. Both categories received handsome trophies.

Our very own St. Damian 1st grade Daisies bridged to Brownie Girl Scouts and our 5th grade Junior Girl Scouts bridged to Cadets.
