FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME July 3, 2022 SAINT ANNE CATHOLIC CHURCH 16801 S. Dixie Highway, Hazel Crest, IL 60429
See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:19 Dear Parishioners, Through this oracle of the prophet Isaiah, God emboldened his chosen people to dream big. No need for them to think solely of the past wonders of the exodus from Egypt; equally great is the exodus from Babylon. They could dream of a future when they could return home and give glory and praise to God for His wondrous deeds in their lives. In reading my assignment letter from the Archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cardinal Cupich, it dawns on me that the Archdiocese of Chicago is inviting us to do something similar. As of July 1st, I have been appointed the first pastor of SS. Joseph, Anne and Emeric to be formed by the unification of Saint Joseph in Homewood, Saint Anne in Hazel Crest and Saint Emeric in Country Club Hills with Father Ralph Zwirn as associate pastor. Parishioners of the three parishes are founding members of a new parish, except that we do not need to “construct a material structure, but to renew the church itself.” All three parishes had done tremendous work over the years to bring people closer to God and lead them to the path of salvation through the sacramental life of the Church: Saint Joseph for about 112 years, Saint Anne 73 years and Saint Emeric 62 years. The task ahead of us now is to envision a new reality in one of these same buildings but with a new and differ- ent conception. First, we need to think of a church beyond the physical building. Second, we need to approach our mission in traditionally Christian spaces with a “renewed missionary impulse, an expression of a new, gen- erous openness to the gift of grace” that invites people to encounter Jesus Christ and to become his disciples. We will not start from scratch. As a parish, we will need to examine what has been most fruitful about our pas- toral outreach then identify areas of vitality, and recognize the different needs of our parish. Uniting our parishes will require prayer and reflection, planning, collaboration, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The talents and gifts of all parish communities are needed. I count on your full participation to make our parish “a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a center of constant missionary outreach.” (Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 28) In this period of Operations Transition, a project manager assigned to our grouping by the archdiocese will as- sist me. With other parish leadership, we are forming a parish unification team comprised of equal members of the three parishes to assist me in bringing the people, ministries, and goods of the parishes together. A naming team will also be formed as well as a liturgical and communication team. The role of the naming team is to facilitate the search of a new name for our parish. Rooted in Christ Jesus (Jn 15:1-17), we call upon the Holy Spirit to guide us as we begin this journey of faith together. July 3, 2022 - Page 2 - Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
