Good Morning - Dzień dobry - Buenos días
Dear Family,
I wanted to say hello to each and every one of you – my new family – at St. Florian. This pastweek I have been going to what I guess could be called, Baby Pastor School, at MundeleinSeminary. I am grateful to the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Priest Placement Board for sucha wonderful program of guidance and support. I listened to the new, soon to be pastors, likemyself; listening as they spoke with infectious excitement about the things they would like todo at their new parishes. When it came my turn to speak, I thought for a moment, then statedthat I first needed to spend time getting to know the people and listen carefully to their deepestexpressed needs. Every parish, like every person, has its own personality – its own culture.There is one thing I would like to do, if you agree, is to honor the Chicago firefighters andpolice officers, as well as First Responders. I have an idea or two that I will share with youlater as I begin.
For the past few weeks, during the hectic transition, I have been learning how to offer the Massin Spanish. I purchased the brand new Roman Missal in Spanish, put out by the U.S. Bishopson May 1 st. What a gift! I have been privately saying Mass in my chapel with it weekly toprepare myself to serve our family at St. Florian to the best of my abilities – in person. I thinkmy pronunciation has reached the point where someone besides the Holy Spirit can understandme. Have you had a chance to see my spaghetti sauce commercial yet? Go to the website(Commuiosauces.com) or check it out on YouTube. I wrote and directed it from my heart, usingmy own family. The warmth and humor of the commercial will give you a great insight intowhat makes me tick.
Kids, have a great week. Remember to laugh. Cardinal Francis George would say, “We canlaugh, Jesus Rose! ” Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen used to say, “A good laugh from the gutshakes the tension out of a man’s frame.” I love parties. Let’s have a party really soon! Andremember You are BEAUTIFUL!
Fr. David J. Simonetti

RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
Who are the People Who Join our Church Today?
Young people who are planning to marry in theCatholic church are a major part of the group thatenters this program. At this time in their lives, theseyoung couples wish to share their faith lives andvalues by establishing a religious base for thisrelationship.
Young parents who are expecting their first child,or parents who may have a child starting schooloften find this to be the right time to join a faithcommunity that will help them find God in theirlives and expand their moral values.
People who were baptized but never felt relatedto a religion. These people feel it is time to enterinto a personal relationship with God.
People who have not been baptized, for whateverreason feel that now is the time to begin a journeywith God. As they interact with their Catholic neigh-bors they realize there is something missing in theirlives that needs to be fulfilled. They are attractedto the Catholic Church and the family atmospherethat is offered.
People who have experienced grief and tragedy intheir lives are now seeking to understand it. So oftenwe hear people say, "I have a Catholic friend orneighbor who went through the same thing that I amgoing through and their faith seemed to sustain andcomfort them. I want to find a faith like that."
People from all backgrounds are seeking God in theirlives. We all look for answers for Life and Death questionsto questions about God and ourselves.
Whatever your reason we welcome you to join us inbecoming a Catholic through the RCIA program.
The Rite of Christian Initiation ofAdults is a programby which the Catholic Church welcomes new membersinto its communal life. The RCIA program is a livingexperience of the church, and NOT just a series ofclassesto teach you about Christianity. There are discussionsabout the facts of the faith. These sessions are only onepart of the experience of living the faith. This programallows you to learn and share with others who are onthe same journey-living the faith with members of theChurch. For more information about the RCIA program,please contact the rectory at (773) 646-4877.
Real PresencePaul Turner
Catholics hold strongly theirbelief in the real presenceof Christ in the Eucharist.This presence happens "bythe conversion of the breadand wine into Christ's bodyand blood" (Catechism ofthe Catholic Church, 1375).This transformation takesplace during the eucharisticprayer at every Mass.
Christ is present in other ways. The Constitution on theSacred Liturgy from the Second Vatican Council saysthat Christ is present in the sacrifice of the Mass in thepriest, in the readings, and in the church. He is present"especially under the Eucharistic species" (7).
For this reason, when Catholics present themselves inthe communion line, they hear the minister proclaim,"The Body ofChrist" and "The Blood ofChrist." Theyanswer "Amen" to each of these statements, affirmingtheir belief in the real presence ofChrist in every com-munion. In a similar way, to conclude the proclamationof the Gospel, the people hear "The Gospel of the Lord,"and they address their words not to the priest or deaconwho proclaimed the Gospel but to Christ, who is presentin his word: "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ."
Nonetheless, "the mode of Christ's presence under theEucharistic species is unique" (CCC, 1374). After Mass,the real presence of Christ remains in the consecratedbread stored in the tabernacle. There it is commonlycalled the Blessed Sacrament. Outside of Mass, aconsecrated host may be set within a monstrance andreverently placed on the altar for the adoration of thefaithful. This event is called exposition of the BlessedSacrament.
Christ is truly present in the consecrated elementswhether we are receiving him in holy communion oradoring him in the Blessed Sacrament. He has comethat his followers may have life, and have it moreabundantly.
Paul Turner is pastor ofSt. Anthony Parish in Kansas
City, Mo. A priest of the diocese of Kansas City-St.
Joseph, he holds a doctorate in sacred theology from
Sant' Anselmo in Rome.
