St. Mark’s Food Collection:
December 11
On Sunday, December 11, we will have our monthly
food drive for St. Mark’s Parish. Last July, St. Mark’s was
consolidated with three other parishes who were not
receiving food donations from sharing parishes.
We continue to collect and deliver to St. Mark’s per usual,
but the number of families needing food has increased.
Your donations are critically important.
Volunteers will be at the
parish garage between 9
am and noon on Sunday,
December 11.
Pull up to the garage, where
large totes will be available
for your donations, or
pop your trunk and our
volunteers will collect the
food.
Thank you for your past and future generosity in this
important ministry.
Non-perishable food is now being accepted during the
week in the lobby of the Parish Center.
THANK YOU FROM THE SOCIETY
OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL!
When you donate to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) at Our Lady of the Wayside, your generos-
ity helps people in need right here in our parish community. People like Joan, who lost her job at age 58
and suffered a heart attack within the same few weeks. Because of your donations we were able to cover
her immediate household bills to assure she could work on her recovery with less worry. Or Debbie, who needed a little help to
buy clothes and school supplies for her children before the start of the school year. And Robert who needed help with a security
deposit so he could move into a safer apartment complex in his retirement.
So far in 2022, more than 50 of your neighbors and fellow parishioners found help for themselves and their families from the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul at OLW. With just one call to SVDP, our neighbors in need find a caring resource to help them
bridge tough times in their lives. And it’s all possible because of your kind donations.
In 2022, SVDP at OLW raised funds and awareness through a very successful 5K/1K family
fun run and walk held on September 24. Special earmarked mass collections on Holy Thurs-
day and Thanksgiving Day also brought in funds to aid in the SVDP mission. In total, more
than $10,000 was raised and dispensed from our Parish, in addition to one-time donations
made to our sister SVDP organizations in Uvalde, Texas and Lexington, Kentucky to assist
those areas at their times of crisis.
The SVDP mission is ongoing, and so is the need in our community. Our members thank you
for your support and pray for you at every one of our monthly meetings. To find out more
about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and how you can help, please contact the Parish Office
at (847) 253-5353 and ask to leave your message on the SVDP helpline. We thank you!

Holiday Tips for Families with Children
who have Developmental Differences
The holiday season is a busy time of year. Between time away from school
and work, gatherings with friends and family and traveling, daily routines
change. The holidays may be even more busy and hectic than school and
work. These changes may be experienced differently for families with chil-
dren who have developmental differences, including autism. If you are a
parent of a child or adolescent with autism, here are some tips for making
this time of year easier on everyone.
Do your research: Learn how autistic adults experience the holidays. Take
the holidays from a different perspective and understand what your child
might need to feel comfortable with routine disruptions as well as new nois-
es, smells, textures and people. This will help you see holidays from their perspective and plan a successful, inclusive and
positive experience.
Be safe: For children who wander or run from safe places, make sure you have a safety plan. Communicate this to all people
at the gathering, and make sure there is a clear schedule for who will be providing 1:1 supervision for kids who wander. Be
aware of places that may attract them, including bodies of water, train stations and parks. Consider the use of visual stop signs
and GPS tracking devices such as Apple AirTags or Samsung SmartTags. Refer to National Autism Association’s Big Red Safety
Box.
Be prepared: Reflect on how your child experiences the gathering or activity. Think about the noises, group size, textures and
smells. Set aside a quiet space that is just for them and include an item of comfort such as a favorite toy or object. Food is a
cornerstone of many gatherings, and feeding difficulties are often present in individuals with autism. Therefore, not everyone
derives pleasure from food and mealtimes. Think about bringing preferred foods and placing a non-preferred food on or near
your child’s plate. This allows and models for your child that they can participate in group events and be empowered to advo-
cate for themselves.
Set a schedule: Preparation and maintenance of routines are key to holidays. Consider visual schedules and social stories, de-
pending on your child’s language level and preferred communication style. Visually communicate who will be at a gathering,
what the family will do and when it will end. Set a time limit for the event, preferably 30 minutes shorter than your child’s limit
so they may end well, and build on this success for future gatherings. Let your child know when they will be able to go home.
Keep consistent sleep schedules and meal times for extended times away, as well. Sleep is a cornerstone of positive behavior
and mood.
Consider their preferences: Remember your child’s preferences for social experiences and communication. For example, do
they tend to observe first and join later, or do they jump right into social experiences? Do they like others to initiate affection,
do they like to do so on their own terms or not at all? As parents, communicate this beforehand to loved ones so they are aware
of how to best support your child and create a positive memory. Small adjustments mean a lot and may prevent a difficult day.
Be their advocate: Until children can advocate for themselves, it’s your responsibility, even when they are under the watchful
and well-intentioned eyes of extended family. Educate your family on what your child needs and how they can be supportive.
Prepare and explain what you’re doing and why. By doing so, you’re modeling for your child how to take agency for their own
emotional and mental well-being.
Be gentle: With yourself! Parenting is difficult at baseline, and it’s only become harder through the pandemic. Start small, build
on successful experiences and remember – your emotional and mental health are key to your child’s emotional and mental
health.
