Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ,
Happy Mother’s Day! The beginning of May was marked with Saint Joseph, and this whole
month in our catholic tradition belongs to Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus. There are many
Marian devotions across countries at this time of the year -- litanies, processions, pilgrimages,
and so we, too, at the parish celebrate with a May Crowning. At the end of this month, we will
also observe the Feast of Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. In such a Marian climate
we honor in a special way our Mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers on the second Sunday of
this beautiful month. I would say that a kind of spiritual umbilical cord to our mother spans
across our entire lifetime; even when we are far away, even when our mothers finished their earthly pilgrimage, we
are connected in spiritual ways to our mothers. This weekend we offer all Masses for our Living and Deceased
Mothers. We pray with thankful hearts for the health and blessing to our living mothers, and for eternal reward to
those who passed away.
In the gospel reading we hear today about the greatest commandment – the commandment of love. Thinking about
mothers we can’t avoid thinking about their love and how they instilled their love in us. God truly loves us because
He first showed His love toward us. In the same way, mothers truly love their children and are first to show their
love, not waiting for any sign of reciprocation. But, as time goes on, we grow up, and we are able to really show our
thankfulness and love. We should not hesitate to show how much we love them. Let us honor these special women
in our life. At the liturgy we pray for them. Beyond the liturgy, I think you already know how to honor them in the
best way. For all our Beloved Mothers – Happy Mother’s Day!
First Communion Students who participated in the full meaning of the Eucharist and received the Body of Christ
this Saturday will be part of our May Crowning ceremony at 11 o’clock. Our prayers and congratulations go to First
Communicants and their families. Your joy is a joy of the entire parish community. This is a special day; this is a day
which we will remember for life. Allow Jesus to come to you in the Eucharist on regular basis. What is special today,
let it become your regular practice.
At our Religious Education Program, we did a closing Mass for 2020-21. We celebrated the Sacrament of Confirma-
tion. We celebrated First Holy Communion. So, what next? Vacation? Not quite. Registration forms for 2021-22 are
ready to be filled up. Parents, you can find them in the narthex and on the parish website. Truly, we are in digital
world and filling registration forms in electronic way makes office work much easier. But if you prefer to use a pencil
that’s also great. We need to know how many children/youth we should expect for the program, how many books we
need to order, schedule classes and catechists etc. This
past year was a very unusual time in religious education,
but we made it and thank you, parents, for your dedication
to grow your children in our spiritual depth of faith.
I’m also very grateful to our catechists, and especially
to our Religious Education Interim Committee Sandy
Wilson, Pat Peterson, and Barb Annoreno for their
dedication of time and talents in taking care of the
Catechetical Mission at OLMC.
May God bless you,
Father Andrew

Mission Statement
We, the members of Our Lady, Mother of the
Church, are drawn together through baptism as a
part of the Body of Christ. We are a caring Catholic
community, working together as instruments through
which Jesus, our risen Lord and Head, continues
His mission. Linked to Christ as His Body, we believe
that the risen Jesus still proclaims God’s word, gives
thanks and praise, welcomes, nurtures, comforts
and reaches out to all people. Using the hands and
hearts of the members of the parish, with a growing
sense that each of us is gifted and has an important
part to play in our Parish, Church and World, we
renew our call:
to be a Parish diligent about Word and Eucharist,
the primary source of our nourishment and
spiritual growth...
to be “missioned” - sent forth in the person of
Jesus, to bring His Word and Eucharist to family,
friends, neighbors and workplace...
to reach out to the sick, the homebound, the per-
secuted, the lonely, the poor and the bereaved…
to find time to share laughter, joy, friendship, at times,
tears; and always to share the goodness of each other...

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the
wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into
hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls Amen.

It is a pleasure to be able to reach out to you, through a simple phone call, a quick visit, or via the Bulletin to let you
know you are not alone during these trying times and to share information on Covid-19 or other concerns.
I have spoken frequently about the signs and symptoms of the virus and the guidelines set forth by the CDC and
Illinois Department of Public Health. The vaccine is more readily available, and with it, we will see an end to this
pandemic. Please receive the vaccine to help keep yourself and others well!
By focusing on the Covid-19 virus, maintaining guidelines, which include keeping our distance and isolating our-
selves, the fear of contracting the virus have led many people from seeking the medical care that they need, especial-
ly in an emergency. Please be aware that there are also guidelines for identifying and treating conditions such as
STROKE.
May is National Stroke Awareness Month. Many may have heard that with this virus, the health care system has
seen an increasing number of strokes in all ages. When it comes to stroke, every minute counts.
Below are the symptoms of stroke. It is extremely important that
when you notice these symptoms you seek medical care immediately
(Call 911)! By doing so, you may be able to help stroke patients
get the treatments they need to survive, reducing damage to the
brain and reversing any lasting effects of the condition.
Be well! Be safe! Know you are in my prayers!
Peace,
Terri, RN

Our Lady of Fatima and the Rosary
Our Rosary intention this week is for more people to include the Rosary as part of their daily prayer.
This coming Thursday, May 13, is the 104th anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima to
three children: Lucia dos Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Lucia asked if the three of them would go to
heaven. Our Lady said yes, except that Francisco would have to pray many Rosaries. Our Lady also told
them, “Say the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war,” which at the time
was World War I. On June 13, 1917, Lucia asked again if the three of them would go to heaven. Our Lady
said that Jacinta and Francisco would go soon, but Lucia would have to stay to help establish devotion to
her Immaculate Heart. Our Lady of Fatima appeared to the three children again each month through October.
Every time she appeared, she asked them to say five decades of the Rosary every day.
In July, Our Lady also told them to say after each Mystery, “O my Jesus, save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.” Please join Lori G., John I., Evelyn
K., Terri K., Gilda M., Lonnie M., Mary M., Ted M., Josephine N., Emilie P., Stefania P., Jean R., Shirley S.,
and Milabelle T. in praying the Rosary.
The Living Rosary is where people each pray a decade of the Rosary daily for the triumph of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, and in honor of the patron of the Living Rosary, Saint Philomena. The Joyful Mysteries
and the first three Luminous Mysteries are prayed by Ted M.—Annunciation, Barb R.—Visitation, Josephine N.—
Nativity, Karen R.—Presentation, Mary M.—
Finding of Jesus in the Temple, Barb R.—
Baptism, Mary M.—Wedding at Cana, and Ted
M.—the Kingdom of God at Hand.
During this month of Our Lady,
please contact the rectory office, or email
tmarszalek@archchicago.org
to add your name to the Rosary list, or pray the
fourth Luminous Mystery, the Transfiguration.
