Mary also takes place within us, spiritually, when we
receive the word of God with a good and sincere heart

means giving him our flesh with the humility and
courage of Mary, so that he can continue to dwell in
our midst. It means giving him our hands, to caress the

ST. ISAAC JOGUES SCHOOL
Weekly News
Mrs. Carol Burlinski is pleased to share with our parish community a new program being implemented at
St. Isaac Jogues School this semester. Teaching Together Chicago brings together the neighborhood Catholic
School, young adults with disabilities and local social service agencies.
The program helps young adults with disabilities be hired as interns, working in 10 week segments for up
to 16 hours a week. The social service agencies will be responsible for job coaching and mentoring.
What is so exciting is that the gifts and skills of young adults with disabilities will be recognized and
utilized with our school. The social service agencies will share their expertise. St. Isaac Jogues School will
become more inclusive and at the same time have additional resources.
St. Isaac Jogues School is able to participate in the Teaching Together Chicago program thanks to the
generous donation from a current school family. Ms. Heather Farrell currently helps our office staff, teachers,
and students on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Preschool and Kindergarten - 8th Registration
St. Isaac Jogues School is currently accepting Preschool and K-8 registrations for the 2018-2019 school year.
Families interested in touring the school should contact
Ms. Diane Sullivan at dsullivan@sijschool.org or 630-323-3244 ext. 238.
