We celebrate our diversity, seeking to realize the gifts of each member of our parish, as we are all joined together under one faith, in a spiritual journey of evangelization, service to others, and a reverence for all life.

A Way to Give Back

A note of gratitude to our St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry that will now share in the cost, with the parish, for the pest control of the East Room and all the buildings of the campus. As you know we are in a wetland area and wooded area, which surrounds, the parish campus . St. Vincent De Paul will contribute 30 dollars a month, towards this needed service for the parish. Thank you for giving back and being faithful stewards. St. Vincent, pray for us. Fr. Jarosz and Finance council

Thank you to all that participated in the Diocesan appeal last weekend. Our goal set by the Diocese is $52,435 and we hope we will be able to reach our goal. As of this week, we are at $14,611, which is 27.86 % of our goal. If you have not turned in your pledge envelope, please do so. You can put the envelope in the Sunday collection basket. For those that were not able to participate or if you have reviewed your financial situation and feel your resources will allow additional support, please complete the envelope provided by our Bishop, plus additional envelopes will be available in the narthex. This is an excellent opportunity for us to reach out and provide support for the many great ministries the Diocese supports that help those truly in need and the ways the diocese assists the parish in the work of Christ.

Short Examination of Conscience

When was my last good confession? Did I receive Communion or other sacraments while in the state of mortal sin? Did I intentionally fail to confess some mortal sin in my previous confession? Did I willfully and seriously doubt my faith or put myself in danger of losing it by reading literature hostile to Catholic teachings or by getting involved with non-Catholic sects? Did I engage in superstitious activities: palm reading, fortune telling? Did I take the name of God in vain? Did I curse or take a false oath? Did I use bad language? Did I miss Mass on a Sunday or a holy" day of obligation through my own fault, without any serious reason? Did I fast and abstain on the prescribed days? Did I disobey my parents or lawful superiors in important matters? Was I selfish in how I treated others especially my spouse, my brothers and sisters, my relatives, or my friends? Did I hatefully quarrel with anyone, or desire revenge? Did I refuse to forgive? Did I cause physical injury or even death? Did I get drunk? Did I take illicit drugs? Did I consent to, advise, or actively take part in an abortion? Did I willfully look at indecent pictures or watch immoral movies? Did I read immora1 books or magazines? Did I engage in impure jokes or conversations? Did I willfully entertain impure thoughts or feelings? Did I commit impure acts, alone or with others? Did I take contraceptive or abortifacient pills, or use other artificial means in order to prevent conception? Did I steal or damage another's property? How much? Have I made reparation for the damages done? Have I been honest in my business relations? Did I tell lies? Did I sin by slander? By detraction - telling unknown grave faults of others without necessity? Did I judge others rashly in serious matters? Have I tried to make restitution for any damage of reputation that I have caused? If you remember other serious sins besides those indicated here, include them also in your Confession:

Year of the Eucharist 2010-2011 Getting to Know Our Staff

March 18, 2012

During the summer of 1988, my brother Philip was occasionally filling in for Sister Helen as the organist for masses. Since he was already director of music at another parish in Chicago, he was unable to continue this on a regular basis. He informed the pastor, Fr. Valente, that he had a brother that might be able to "help out" for a mass once in a while. I remember coming home from Montini one day that November to have a message from Sister Helen saying they needed help for the 7:30am Sunday masses, and so began my career as a church musician. Christmas Day, 1988, at the 7:30am Mass, a 14 year old kid sat up on the organ and started playing Christmas carols. As time went on, I began to play the organ at the Noon mass and started singing with the choir. After becoming the assistant director at Notre Dame de Chicago in 1993, I had to give up singing in the CTK choir, but remained as organist for the 7:30 and Noon masses. This became a way of life for me. Serving the church as a liturgical musician was, and still is, my life's passion. I would play the Saturday evening liturgy at Notre Dame; the 7:30am mass at CTK before flying down the Eisenhower (almost literally) to play the 10am at Notre Dame, and quickly returning to CTK for the Noon mass. After Sister Helen's retirement in 1997, Father Dvorscak, who is still a very dear friend of mine, hired me as the full-time Director of Music. Father Dvorscak, being an organist himself, assisted me in becoming the liturgical musician I am today. As a mentor, he taught me the skills needed to serve this community in prayer and song. He, along with Sister Helen, were instrumental (no pun intended) in my musical and spiritual formation. With Father Jarosz's arrival in 2002 came my appointment as Director of Liturgy and Music. In the ten years since, it has been my pleasure to continue serving the people of Christ the King Parish. I am thankful to Father Peter for urging me to become certified through the Diocese of Joliet by means of the Liturgy Certification Program, LCP, which I completed in 2009. Christ the King Parish has been my home for almost 24 years. It has truly been a privilege to be part of this community for so long. Many of my colleagues ask how I can stay in one place for so long, and my answer has always been the same: I love the people. You have been part of my extended family for the majority of my life. I would be at a loss without all of you! God bless you all, and thank you for letting me be part of your lives.
