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.

Pastor and Finance Council Reflections:

A word of thanks to all the parishioners who are actively involved in the various ministries in our parish (which impact the lives of hundreds of people), and who sacrificially and regularly make their financial contribution, to the parish and the Diocese of Joliet. Who is a steward? He is somebody's manager. We are all stewards of God because, as Psalm 24 reminds us, God is the sole owner of everything we have: "The earth is Lord's and all that is in it." St. Peter reminds us of our duty of stewardship: "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace" (1Peter 4:10). The New Testament refers to our stewardship to God 87 times. Paul claims that he is the steward of Christ's gospel. The good steward never forgets that God is the source of all he possesses and that all his possessions are given to him in trust, and he handles them accordingly. If we would be good stewards, we must never forget that God loves us so much and trusts us so much that He has given us the responsibility of managing His estate. Many people are honestly seeking God, but our preoccupation with the things we think we own absolutely is blocking the Holy Spirit from moving within us. Let us give back to God for all that God has given to us at home, work and school.

Stewardship Prayer
O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer; And remembering Help me to destroy my complacency; Bestir my compassion, And be concerned enough to help; By word and by deed, Those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen. Samuel F. Pugh

Why, I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean." "Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!" "So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"

At the Parish Pastoral Council organizational meeting last week we discussed the format of the Leadership Meeting. It was expressed that the format of coming together as a Leadership Team at 7:00 for opening prayer and to set the theme for the evening, at 7:30 the Commissions meet to discuss the charge that will be given to them at the opening, and then we come back together to report out at 8:30 and then end with a closing prayer was a good format. If the individual commission would like more time to meet, they are welcome to meet earlier at 6:00 or 6:30. Please talk with your staff representative and commission chair to discuss you individual time of meeting. The Parish Pastoral Council meetings will not be held monthly. The next Parish Pastoral Council meeting will be on October 25 at 7:00 p.m. and then on the 5th Tuesday of November, January and May.

Life Matters: Contraception

For decades Americans have been toldby the media, Planned Parenthood, sex educators, and activists who promote abortion and reproductive rightsthat contraceptives are the safe and effective way to prevent unplanned pregnancy. Were told that contraception ensures a womans freedom from pregnancy and child-rearing so she can pursue her own goals in life. Given the prevalence and power of these messages, it is not surprising that a majority of sexually active women in the U.S. have tried using some form of contraception at some point in their life. But many begin to doubt the rosy claims when they unexpectedly become pregnant, or are infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), or experience serious side effects from hormonal contraceptives themselves. The experience of those using contraceptives differs greatly from the advertising claims of the multi-billiondollar contraceptive industry. Here are a few of the hard facts: 1 in 3 teen girls will become pregnant within two years of initiating sexual activity, even while using contraceptives. Almost half (48.4 percent) of low-income cohabiting teens using the pill, and 72 percent of those using condoms as their primary method of birth control, will become pregnant within 12 months. 65 percent of women who reported unplanned pregnancies in a major French survey were using contraception. Experts in contraception now concede that pills are an outdated method and perfect use is impossible for most humans. 54 percent of U.S. women seeking abortions were using contraception in the month they became pregnant. An analysis of 23 studies on emergency contraception (EC) found no evidence whatsoever that increasing access to EC reduces rates of unplanned pregnancy or abortion A 63 percent increase in the use of contraception between. 1997 and 2007 was accompanied by a 108 percent increase in the abortion rate in Spain. Numerous studies show that increasing the availability of contraception in a large population does not reduce rates of unplanned pregnancies and abortions, and may increase them. Top executives of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the largest U.S. abortion provider, have discussed and reported on this for decades. Yet manufacturers and suppliers continue to earn billions, foster false hopes, and subject girls and women to health risks and unexpected crisis pregnancies. How is it possible that increased use of contraceptives could lead to more unplanned pregnancies and abortions? People tend to take more risks when they are led to believe they can avoid the negative consequences of risky behavior through technology. Widespread contraceptive availability has actually led to more people becoming sexually active, at earlier ages, and with more sexual partnershence more pregnancies. And while an unplanned pregnancy may at first seem like a major problem, most mothers find that in a matter of months the pregnancy ends with the birth of a unique and priceless little person, who can bring joy and laughter to his biological or adoptive family. Contraceptives may not reduce pregnancy rates, but they certainly do increase the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Casual sex, encouraged by widely available contraception, has resulted in about 60 million Americans being infected with one or more sexually transmitted diseases, many of them incurable and emotionally-devastating. The estimated cost of treating these illnesses is now $19 billion a year in the U.S. alone; but that figure is trifling compared to the emotional pain people experience when they learn they have an incurable STDthe anger, betrayal, anxiety, depression, humiliation, and fear of its effect on future relationships. Of course, Planned Parenthood and secular sex educators recommend using condoms for protection against STDs. Yet condoms offer almost no protection against the epidemic of incurable viral STDs such as genital herpes and human papilloma virus (HPV), strains of which cause genital warts and virtually all cases of cervical cancer. And numerous studies have found that typical condom use offers inadequate or little protection against even bacterial STDs, such as Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Hormonal contraceptives themselves have inherent health risks. Synthetic hormones powerful enough to disrupt a womans reproductive system may affect every major system of her body. Depending on the type and strength of the hormonal contraceptive, over five percent of women experience some of the following symptoms: headaches, weight gain, acne, mood swings, depression, anxiety, breast pain, dizziness, severe pain during menses, a range of bleeding problems, and a lack of desire for sex. In the case of Depo-Provera there can also be a 5-6 percent loss of bone mineral density after five years use, which is only partially reversed in the years after discontinuation. Among the less common side effects of hormonal contraceptives are the following: blood clots in the veins, lungs, heart, and brain, potentially causing heart attack and strokes; breast cancer; potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancy (in which the embryo most often implants in the narrow tube between the ovary and womb); liver tumors; and ovarian cysts.
