NOMINATIONS FOR PASTORAL COUNCIL 2021-2022

Our parish is continually blessed to have parishioners who are willing to serve in our mission “to restore all things in Christ.”
In that tradition we ask that you prayerfully consider nominating those who you believe would be willing to serve on the Pastoral
Council. You may nominate yourself as well! We are seeking four new members to serve a one, two or three year term beginning
July 1, 2021.

WHAT DOES THE COUNCIL DO? The Council assists the Pastor in formulating policy and pastoral planning for the entire
parish. This is done through the process of communal discernment, including prayerful reflection, gathering of information and
shared wisdom.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
  Members must be baptized, practicing Catholics; 18 years of age or older; and registered parishioners.
  The By-Laws of the Pastoral Council suggest that members should have talents that can contribute to the work of the Council,
      and that the overall membership of the Council represents the entirety of the parish.

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR MEMBERS?
Members will be asked to commit to a 1, 2 or 3 year term beginning July 1, 2021.
Attend one Pastoral Council meeting per month, usually on the fourth Tuesday at 7:00 PM.
Attend the Annual Discernment Meeting.
Attend the Commission meeting where the member serves as the appointed Chairperson, or attend
the meeting to which they have been appointed to serve as Liaison.
Participate in other activities as agreed upon.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORE?
To learn more about the work of the Council and the Discernment process we encourage you to contact a Pastoral Council member.
Their photos and contact information are posted on our parish website.

WHEN IS DISCERNMENT?
Discernment will be online/virtual and take place on Saturday, June 5 from 9:30 – 11:30 AM.

QUESTIONS? Dave Poirier 630-638-5504 poirier531@gmail.com

Thank you for your participation in this important process.

Hoy celebramos el segundo domingo de Pascua, también                 Divina; llamado así porque es el único Tribunal en el cual uno, al
conocido como domingo de la Divina Misericordia.                     declararse culpable, es absuelto.
La primera lectura (Hc 4,32-35) nos narra cómo las primeras          Por Héctor L. Márquez (Conferencista católico)
comunidades cristianas “daban testimonio de la resurrección del      http://delamanodemaria.com/?p=9825
Señor con mucho valor”, y cómo por ese gesto “Dios los miraba
a todos con mucho agrado”.

No olvidemos que hoy concluye la “Octava” de Pascua y, por
tanto, la celebración que comenzó el domingo de Pascua de
Resurrección y se prolongó hasta hoy. De ahí que la lectura
evangélica (Jn 20,19-31) nos presenta las primeras dos
apariciones de Jesús a sus discípulos. La primera el mismo día de
la Resurrección, encontrándose encerrados en la estancia
superior, por temor a las autoridades judías, luego de que Pedro y
Juan encontraran la tumba vacía. La segunda tiene lugar una
semana después (un día como hoy), pero esta vez los discípulos
estaban fortalecidos por la presencia del Resucitado. Ahora la
controversia giraba en torno a la incredulidad de Tomás.

Este pasaje, que es la conclusión del evangelio según san Juan, es
sumamente denso y lleno de símbolos. Nos limitaremos a dos,
comenzando con el segundo: la incredulidad de Tomás.

La pregunta obligada es: ¿Dónde estaba Tomás cuando el Señor
se apareció a los discípulos por primera vez? De seguro estaba
vagando, triste y desilusionado porque Jesús había muerto; había
visto esfumarse en una horas todas sus expectativas, sus sueños
mesiánicos. Se había separado del grupo. Por eso no tuvo la
experiencia de Jesús resucitado; como nos pasa a nosotros
cuando nos alejamos de la Iglesia. Cuando regresó se negaba a
creer porque no lo había visto. Pero esta vez no se alejó, se
mantuvo en comunión con sus hermanos, se congregó, y entonces
tuvo el encuentro con Jesús resucitado. Igual nos pasa a nosotros
cuando regresamos a la Iglesia y nos congregamos para la
celebración eucarística; los ojos de la fe nos permiten tener un
