Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 26, 2020
Dear Parishioners of St. Raphael,
There has been plenty of news on the topic of Religious Freedom in recent weeks. Earlier this
month, the US Supreme Court announced two decisions defending the rights of
Catholic organiza ons. The Li le Sisters of the Poor will not be required to pay
for abor on or birth control services for their employees. The other decision
said Catholic schools can choose their teachers free from government regula-
ons. Both of these decisions were welcomed by people of faith. The United
States Council of Catholic Bishops issued statements praising them, but also urg-
ing us to stay diligent in working for religious freedom. The fact that both cases
had to go to our na on’s highest court should be warning enough for us.
The US Cons tu on includes religion as one of the inalienable rights our ci zens have.
"Inalienable” means a right that precedes any decision of the government, pro or con. It is some-
thing that should belong to us simply by our existence as human beings. If we need the Supreme
Court to remind the na on about that, there has already been some misunderstanding. And yet as
Americans, we should be thankful for the freedom we have enjoyed, since not every na on enjoys
the same. In other countries around the world, religious minori es have been persecuted by a ma-
jority or by government power. In the case of China, the government itself is an -religious, or at
least non-religious.
There have also been recent cases of serious vandalism against Catholic churches, or against
statues of religious figures. Statues of Mary and Junipero Serra have been destroyed, and a number
of churches have been set on fire. As I write this, the great Cathedral in Nantes, France has been
badly damaged by a fire, and arson is suspected. And this comes while the great Notre Dame Cathe-
dral is s ll being repaired from a fire last year. We could possibly dismiss these cases as part of an
overall lawlessness. It only takes a few disturbed or destruc ve people to cause serious damage.
Any reasonable person should know that a peaceful protest does not mean damaging someone
else’s property. But mentally disturbed people usually act alone, in isolated events. The repea ng
pa ern we have seen lately is not just the work of a few deranged loners.
We can consider these events as a warning: don’t take the rights we have for granted! As Ameri-
can ci zens, we should respect the religious rights of all people. But most obviously, that includes
our own rights.
In God’s love,
Fr Ma hew Kowalski

Catholic Chari es Lake County Services School Supply Project 2020
Every year, Catholic Chari es supports low-income families in the Lake county area by collec ng and dis-
tribu ng donated school supplies. The project allows children of these families to be well-prepared for the
upcoming school year. For children experiencing poverty, school supplies are a luxury that many go with-
out. Each year, we strive to ensure that each child will have a backpack with the basic school supplies to
start the upcoming year. We desperately need dona ons of backpacks and school supplies to meet the
needs of the families we serve. Each dona on you make helps ensure that any family seeking help from
Catholic Chari es can start the school year successfully! All supplies must be new and should be deliv-
ered no later than August 4 to Catholic Chari es, located at 671 S. Lewis Ave. in Waukegan, between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more informa on, contact the Project Coor-

per day—our volunteers. Many of them would be unable to live independently without home-delivered
meals. Volunteers are needed throughout Lake County, but the need is greatest right now in Fox Lake,
Wauconda, and Mundelein. This is a great role for a group or individual who has a few hours once a week
or once a month. Subs tute and seasonal volunteers are needed as well! For more informa on, please vis-
