St. Edna ~ Sharing Sunday
August 15 - Assumption of Mary
This week we will celebrate the feast day of the Assumption of Mary. According to the Francisca Media:
“On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII defined the Assump on of Mary to be a dogma of faith: ‘We
pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that the immaculate Mother of God, the ever
Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.’
The pope proclaimed this dogma only after a broad consultation of bishops, theologians and laity. There were
few dissenting voices. What the pope solemnly declared was already a common belief in the Catholic
Church.”
We find homilies on the Assumption going back to the sixth century. In following centuries, the Eastern
Churches held steadily to the doctrine, but some authors in the West were hesitant. However by the 13th
century there was universal agreement. The feast was celebrated under various names—Commemoration,
Dormition, Passing, Assumption—from at least the fifth or sixth century. Today it is celebrated as a solemnity.
Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s Assumption into heaven. Nevertheless, Revelation 12 speaks of a
woman who is caught up in the battle between good and evil. Many see this woman as God’s people. Since
Mary best embodies the people of both Old and New Testaments, her Assumption can be seen as an
exemplification of the woman’s victory.”
Take a few minutes this week to look at our statue of Mother Mary that is on the Tabernacle side of the front
of our worship space. Mary, with her hands spread out, is standing on a serpent on top of the earth. Have you
wondered why? Speculation is that Mary is squashing the snake, who represents the Devil. Mary, by being
the mother of Jesus, has a direct connection with the demise of the Devil. Her Son, triumphed over evil – she
helped crush the Evil one.
Now notice her outstretched hands. Not out like we see Jesus’ hands in the crucified position, but out in a
welcoming, motherly way. He gesture seems to say, Come here, I am here for YOU.
And now, again look under her feet. She is on top of the world. If God sent and angel to tell you that you
“..have found favor with God.” And that you would bear a son who would “be called the Son of the Most
High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David…and his kingdom will have no end.
(Luke 1: 30, 34)” you too, would feel like you were on top of the world.

St. Edna ~ Sharing Sunday
Dear Friends of St. Edna,
Debbie and I want to thank everyone for the wonderful sendoff we were given on July 21st. It was so
wonderful to have the opportunity to say good bye to everyone. More importantly we want to thank
everyone for your love and support over the past 9 years we served as a deacon couple.
As I mentioned in my final homily, I truly believe in my
heart that if it were not for the love, compassion, support
and understanding of this wonderful community, my
journey in becoming a deacon would not have been
possible. I have learned so much during my time here at
St. Edna due to the wonderful priests, staff, deacons, and of
course the incredible parishioners.
As you enter the doors into the church from the narthex it
says, “In this place Extraordinary Miracles happen from
time to time, quiet wonders happened every day”. This
happens not because of the place, but because of the
wonderful people in this place. I feel I have received
several miracles from all of you over my many years at
St. Edna, and without a doubt quiet wonders every day.
This community will always remain in my heart and you
without a doubt remain in my prayers.
God Bless!
Deacon Greg Beeber
Summer Mission
Sister Mary Ann Barnhorn of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur will be
speaking about the need for clean water in Africa at the Masses on
Saturday, August 24th and Sunday, August 25th.
Throughout Africa, there is a critical lack of clean water for drinking and
sanitation: Almost one billion people do not have access to safe water.
Next weekend a special collection will be taken to help the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Namur provide life-changing electricity and clean water to
the people in Africa.
Mary Ann Barnhorn entered the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1952 in Cincinnati. Early on she
taught elementary school, high school religion and adult religious education. She later developed
educational programs for pastors and pastoral associates throughout the country as a member of the
National Pastoral Life Center in New York. Also, she served as Executive Director of the National
Association of Church Personnel Administrators.
She has served in congregational leadership for 15 years, six as provincial, and most recently completed
21 years as mission advancement and development director for the Sisters of Notre Dame of the Ohio
Province. In addition, she has played an active role in the wider Notre Dame world, traveling throughout
the United States as well as to Europe and Africa.

Take Five for Faith
monthly columns expressed that devotion to a sizeable readership.
Human like the rest of us, Maximillian sometimes was a difficult
colleague, and initially his publications reflected some of the
anti-Semitic rhetoric of his time and place. However, he never
abandoned the work of promoting faith, citing indifference as the
poison of the time. Sentenced to Auschwitz in 1941, he ultimately
gave his life to save another prisoner. His was a martyrdom of love.
Be mindful today of the toxin of indifference within and around you.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
(RCIA)
What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process by which adults are fully
initiated into the Catholic Church. It primarily focuses on: Faith Development (rather
than mastery of doctrine) and maturing in one’s relationship with God and Building
and Nourishing, not only among the participants and leaders but within the parish
community and the universal Church.
Who is RCIA for?
RCIA is for any adult (18+ and out of high school) would like to be baptized Catholic, or become a Catholic
after having been baptized in another Christian tradition. It is also for adults who were baptized as Catholics,
but have not completed the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
What is involved in the RCIA process?
Our group meets September through Pentecost (May/June). There are four stages involved in the process.
Inquiry - We begin to explore such areas as: What is Faith? Who is God and why does God care
about me? What are the roles of Mary and the pope? Why are there statues in the Catholic churches?
And more.
Catechumenate - Marked by the Rite of Acceptance this period of study reflects on so things as:
Catholic beliefs, prayer, participating in community worship, social events and charitable activities,
and the apostolic life of the Church. We will also begin breaking open the Word each Sunday.
Period of Enlightenment - Marked by the Rite of Enrollment this period focuses on the
Sacraments, deeper prayer experiences, Lent and the scrutinies which are celebrated during the
Sunday liturgies. The scrutinies focus on healing, conversion and reconciliation.
Mystagogy - this is the time after Easter up to Pentecost that focuses on a deeper experience of
prayer, understanding God’s word and the sacraments, social justice issues, ministry in the parish.
If you or someone you know has expressed an interest in joining the Catholic Church our first
INQUIRY NIGHT will be Tuesday, September 3rd at 7:00pm in the Community Room.

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection
August 11, 2019 — Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
WIS 18: 6-9; PS 33: 1, 12, 18-19, 20-22; HEB 11: 1-2, 8-19 or HEB 11: 1-2, 8-12; LK 12:32-48 or LK 12: 35-40
Whether you are just beginning your stewardship journey or have been living a stewardship way of life for years,
today’s readings invite us to ask ourselves an important question to ponder.
The questions is this: “What do you treasure?” Of course, we all know the “right” answer: we treasure our faith, our
family, and our friendships. But Jesus tells us in the Gospel passage from Luke how we can discover the real answer to
this question. He says, “For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
To discern what we really treasure, we need to do a check on our hearts. We can each ask ourselves, “Where do I spend
the majority of my energy? Where do I find my thoughts dwelling? How do I choose to spend my time when I find
myself with a few spare moments? What do my spending habits reveal about my what is important to me?
As Christian stewards, we are called to live our lives in grateful response to all that God has given us. Do I recognize
and treasure these gifts?

What is Christian Family Movement (CFM)?
Christian Family Movement is a network of parish
families, in various stages of life, who meet to dis-
cuss issues of relevance to today’s Christian families.
Groups discuss a different issue each month intended
to help gain a better understanding of our faith and
how it affects our lives and our families. Members
can participate to their level of comfort, whether they
actively join the discussion or simply listen to other’s
perspectives on topics.
When does CFM meet?
CFM at St. Edna begins in September each year and
continues through June. Members of CFM are
assigned to a small groups of 8 - 10 couples or
individuals who meet the second Friday of each
month in the Hurley Center or group member’s
homes. Small group discussion are typically
bookended by a social time with snacks and refresh-
ments. New families are able to join through out the
year but we encourage joining us beginning in
September.
CFM is the heart of St. Edna parish. We hope you will consider joining us!
Kindly contact Jan or Bob O’Brien at
janbobob@gmail.com by Thursday, August 22nd

Love Your Neighbor
Love your neighbors as you love yourself. Sounds easy, but in today’s world, it is
more difficult than ever. Few of us will ever see a man laying by the road in need of
assistance as described in the parable of the Good Samaritan; however, that man is
with us today.
He can be seen in the homeless even in Arlington Heights. He may be unkempt, have dirty clothing, and carry
his meager possessions on his bicycle. He may lack the ordinary social skills that you and I take for granted.
Sometimes he panhandles and looks through trash cans for things he can use or sell for a few dollars. When
the weather is warm, he sleeps outdoors. When it is cold and wet, he seeks shelter wherever he can find
warmth and protection from the elements.
That man is with us today even in Arlington Heights. He regularly visits the St. Edna’s food pantry. He works,
but doesn’t earn enough to pay all his bills and put food on the table for his family. A few bags of food each
month from the pantry makes life just a little easier.
That man is with us today even in Arlington Heights. He or she may be one of the kids in the neighborhood
who is just a little different. He or she may speak a different language, or the color of their skin may different.
They may have a physical or mental disability. How are they treated at school and in the community?
Who is our neighbor? Jesus answered this question with the story of the Good Samaritan. A Jew was robbed,
beaten, and left for dead on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem. Two fellow Jewish passersby saw him lying
there but offered no help. Then “a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw
him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, . . . and set him on his own beast
of burden, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. Jesus then asks: Which of these three was
neighbor?”
Some day Jesus will ask us if and how we loved our neighbors, not only in Arlington Heights but in the
far corners of the world - the homeless, the hungry, and those who were different. Do we pass by and
ignore those who need assistance as the two individuals did in the story of the Good Samaritan, or do we
get involved and help?
At times, these issues seem overwhelming; however, if we act on a few thoughts from Saint Mother Teresa,
we will see progress.
“Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much
greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
“If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
Everyone can make an impact on hunger and poverty by participating in the monthly food collections
at St. Edna. PLEASE BRING A BAG OF FOOD TO CHURCH NEXT WEEKEND, August 18, to
restock the food pantries at St. Edna and St. James. Also, please make a contribution to
St James using the gold envelopes each month.

The St. Edna Outreach to the Poor Ministry has a formed a subsidiary ministry called St. Edna Community Table
(SECT) to welcome and serve all who seek nourishment and fellowship.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me” Matthew 25:35
The summer of 2014 was the first summer that St. Edna Community Table began the work of providing dinners once a
month (in conjunction with other Arlington Heights area churches) to those in need. Our dinners typically serve
between 45 and 65 guests, most of whom are homeless. Beginning with the summer season of 2015, we expanded to
host dinners twice a month on the first and third Sunday evenings from May through September. We also warmly
welcomed other St. Edna parish ministry groups to sponsor the dinners. We are doing the same this year, our sixth
season. This was a wonderful way for our parish community to reach out in service to those who are less fortunate.
Our three most recent dinners for the 2019 season went very well. Our guest counts are still pretty high. Many thanks to
The Cake Box (1617 W Campbell St., Arlington Heights, IL 60005) for donating delicious baked good donations at
each dinner. The following sponsoring ministries for July and Aug 4th also deserve heart-felt thanks:
July 7th – Finance Council and College Ministry
(Served 57 guests)
July 21st – Christian Family Movement (CFM)
(Served 60 guests)
Aug 4th – Women of St. Edna (WOSE), Guild 4
(Served 51 guests)
We ask for continued prayers as this ministry These are a few of the many wonderful
grows. If you would like to help financially,
