SAINTS SIMON AND JUDE - TWENTY-NINTHSUNDAYINORDINARYTIME OCTOBER17,2021 STEWARDSHIP PARISH 8 CAVANAUGH COURT, WEST CHESTER, PA ...
Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time                 3                                           October 17, 2021

                 Through his suffering, my Servant will justify many.
        From the book of the Prophet Isaiah, we hear this teaching given to the
people of Israel as they are returning from the second exile. “Through his
suffering my servant will justify many”. In Isaiah, the church believes that “My
Servant” is the coming Christ, “The Anointed One”. “My” is God the Father
who sends His son. “Justify”, through the Cross and Resurrection, it is Jesus
who empties himself to purchase our soul from the Devil. In Jesus, the account
is paid in full. What is left to say?
             My dear Jesus, You are my teacher, healer and redeemer.
       Now let’s take an even closer look. “Many” why not all? For some
strange reason there are those who reject God’s love and choose hate, and even violence. It leaves me
puzzled and confused having learned from rock poor people of the joy of the Lord and from the most
worldly minded folks whose hearts have been touched by God: “Father, I didn’t know. This is beautiful”.
We called it: wonder and awe in his presence.
        Many graces are granted to each of us in our lifetime. The most significant is our very life as
children of the Father, redeemed in the blood of his Son and sanctified daily in the Holy Spirit.
With these graces we have an opportunity like none other. We have the opportunity to imitate Christ and
become Servant Leaders ourselves. When we put Christ first, we will begin to see the divine in every
person. We will begin to encourage one another. We begin a life of service to our family, neighbor and
stranger. A sacrificial service like mother and father at hospital bedside. Like a doctor without borders,
taking that risk to share care and training with the very poor who can’t possibly make a return. Servant
Leaders do so ‘for the love of God’ and hope of eternal life. We yearn to hear the voice of the Lord say:
“well done, faithful servant, receive my Fathers joy”.
       The drawing above, entitled “A Man on a Cross”, appeared in the May/June 2020 issue of
Maryknoll Magazine. Sister Kathleen Reiley shares the cancer story of Yuki a 13-year-old Japanese boy.
When Yuki died, Sister Reiley talked to his mother. The mother told her that one day the children were
doing an art project in the children’s ward and were asked to draw anything they wanted. “They didn’t
have any special model or anything,” says Sister Reiley. “This is what he drew.” She shows Yuki’s
drawing: a man on a cross.
                                       God bless you. Father Mike Gerlach

week, we welcomed our Middle States Association Team Chair for a one-day visit. He met with our
administration and internal coordinators; had a building tour and discussed school facilities; and met with
a school board member and administrators to discuss finances. He will return November 8, 9, and 10 for
our official re-accreditation visit, and will be joined virtually by three additional team members.
SSJ teachers and staff members began our road to re-accreditation this past school year by working on
committees for each standard. Our stakeholders – teachers, staff, parents, students, and school board
members – were surveyed in relation to each standard. Based on the survey feedback, three main
objectives were identified for our re-accreditation:
Student Performance Objective One: By the year 2028, the students at Saints Simon and Jude School
will demonstrate improved reading skills.

Student Performance Objective Two: By the year 2028, the students at Saints Simon and Jude School
will demonstrate an increased knowledge and awareness of global citizenship as means to increase
understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of diverse cultures in order to promote Catholic Social
Teachings.

Organizational Objective: By the year 2028 there will be an increase in the total student enrollment while
retaining currently enrolled students at Saints Simon and Jude School.

I will continue to keep you updated on the process of our Middle States re-accreditation. I am extremely
grateful for everyone who has worked, and continues to work, on this very important endeavor. I am
especially thankful for our internal coordinators, Mrs. Jackie Dryfoos and Mrs. Christy Farrell, for the
countless hours they have spent. Thank you all!
                                                Blessings,
                                        Sister Regina Elinich, IHM

Pre School Age Students: The boys and girls are back on Sunday mornings. Look for them to dress up as
S A I N T S” on Sunday, October 31. Get ready for this heavenly parade during the 9:30 am Mass. You will see
many “saintly smiles.”

Don’t Forget to Vote for Your Favorite Saint: Students will be voting for their favorite saint and parents you
can too! This survey is a wonderful opportunity to learn and talk more about the lives of these holy men and women
as we prepare for this holy day. The final outcome will be shared right after our All Saints Day Mass on
Monday, November 1. So, who do you think will be our number 1 Saint for this year?

Saint Banners: On Sunday October 31 we need children to carry up some saintly banners during the 11:30 am
Mass. Can you be a witness to your Catholic faith and carry a simple banner DURING a Mass procession?

Forty Hours Devotions: Every year our parish celebrates the Eucharistic devotion called “40 Hours.” We will
gather as a parish community during the week of October 24 and worship our Divine Savior, Jesus Christ who is
truly present on the altar in our Main Church. We invite students from LAST YEAR’S FIRST HOLY COMMUNION
CLASSES to come dressed in their special Sacrament attire for this special procession. They will highlight the
candlelight procession on Tuesday night, October 26. We are asking for FAMILY PARTICIPATION THIS YEAR.
Please join us in this closing service which begins at 7:00 pm. Also, Sunday and Monday nights there will be a
special service to worship and adore the Son of God, true God and true man starting at 7:00 pm.
All the PREP students who attend classes on Tuesday night October 26 will be dismissed at 6:50 pm so that parents
can escort their son/daughter up to Church for the Closing of 40 hours. Light refreshments will be served
immediately following the service.

7th & 8th Grade Youth Group: Prayer service, learning, food and fun in school on Sunday, October 24 at 7:00 pm.

Catholic Faith: Questions and Answers              In October there is an opportunity to ASK, CLARIFY and

         -WHY does the Catholic Church do this or not do this?

bank account or using a credit or debit card. Please visit our online giving page. From our Parish
website home page click on “DONATE”. Let us know if you have any questions on setting up your
electronic giving by calling the Rectory office at 610-696-3624. You can also drop your donation
