CATHOLICS COME HOME
Catechetical Sunday
This Sunday is Catechetical Sunday. We honor in a special
way all those who have a ministerial role in passing along the
faith. While we realize that parents have a primary role in the
faith formation of their families, the people listed on the front
of the bulletin have answered the call to assist in the religious
education of many children, teens and adults in our parish. We
are grateful for all who share their faith in this special way with
our parishioners, and we ask God to continue to bless and
strengthen all who have taken on a catechetical role. Inherent
in the role of catechesis is being attuned to the dignity of every
human person, for each person is created in the image and
likeness of God who calls each of us to an intimate relationship
with Himself. Please keep our catechists and all whose lives
they touch in your prayers as we continue to build a community
of faith, love and service. (If we have inadvertently left off
anyone’s name, please understand that this was an oversight,
and please know that we do value the contributions you make
to our parish by way of catechesis.)

Who’s Who
AN INVITATION TO COME AND SEE
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.
RCIA is an opportunity for those who:
•Have never been baptized.
•Have been baptized in the Catholic Church or another
Christian church and have little or no religious affiliation
since then.
•Have been baptized and wish to receive First Communion
and/or Confirmation for the first time.
•Have been practicing in another faith tradition and who wish
to inquire about becoming Catholic.
RCIA is the Catholic Church’s way of introducing herself to
interested inquirers. For those who wish to continue after their
initial inquiry which requires no commitment at this time, the
process becomes an ongoing journey leading to initiation into the
Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. Sessions are held regularly
with parish leaders and others who are journeying together. They
involve faith sharing, reflection and learning.
There is a commercial on television where a rather
forward man approaches a man reading a newspaper and loudly
declares, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know!” The man
reading the paper calmly replies, “I know you, and it’s not
helping.”
In our spiritual lives, our boisterous friend may be right,
if who you know is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Thomas A.
Kempis wrote in his book, "The Imitation of Christ", that gaining
great knowledge won’t get you to heaven as much as getting to
know, love and serve Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Come to Holy
Family Chapel and develop a relationship with the Blessed
Sacrament. If you can, call Bill Beckman at (708) 429-2762 and
sign up to spend an hour with the Blessed Sacrament every week.
It’s the best hour each week you’ll ever spend. Someday, you’ll
look at the Blessed Sacrament and proclaim, “I know You, and it’s
helping more than I ever imagined.
Terry Dorencz
Perhaps you have questions yourself about this
process or you may know someone who is waiting
for this invitation. Call the rectory at
(708) 532-2243 and ask for Fr. Tomy.
All are welcome at any age.

A PRAYER FOR THOSE SERVING IN THE MILITARY
Almighty God, send your blessing upon all who serve in our armed forces. Shield

Bereavement Ministry
Sunday, September 27
St. George Bereavement Ministry will begin a six week series of group support
sessions on Monday, September 21. We will meet each Monday evening from
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. The sessions will be held in Meeting Room 3 on the first
floor of the Cahill Parish Life Center.
This group can serve as a source of companionship on the journey through loss,
so that no one need walk the path of grieving alone. Facilitators guide
participants through discussions of various aspects of the grieving process.
There is an opportunity to share stories, express grief, listen to others and
interact with people who share similar experiences.
If you or someone you know might benefit from peer support after the loss of a
loved one, whether you have attended group support sessions or not, join us on
September 21. If you wish to attend or if you need additional information, call
MaryElizabeth Flaws at (708) 466-0064 or Mary Hagan at (708) 429-6043.

St. George 2015 - 2016 Parish Pastoral Council
On Saturday, September 19 at the 4:00pm Mass, the 2015-2016 Parish Pastoral Council will accept
the responsibilities of this ministry in a commissioning ceremony. The purpose of the Pastoral
Council is to advise the Pastor. The Council is concerned with the overall pastoral well being of
the Parish. The members are confirmed parishioners of St. George, who regularly attend mass,
exhibit leadership qualities and are actively involved in a ministry. We are happy to announce the
following members who discern to this role:
Lori Kaminski
I am now entering my second year as
a member of the Pastoral Council.
The first year was very interesting
and rewarding and I look forward to
another great year on the council. I
have been a parishioner at St.
George for over 35 years. I didn’t
get involved for several years until Father Cahill encouraged me
to be a Catechist. For several years, I enjoyed teaching first
graders and helping out in the Religious Education office. Soon
after becoming a Catechist, I also became a Eucharistic Minister
which I continue to do. After leaving Religious Education, I
helped out on a couple of committees, such as the 75th
Anniversary Book. Over the last couple of years, I came back to
Religious Education not as a Catechist, but as a member of the
Religious Education Board. A couple of years ago, I was
mandated as a Minister of Care. I am and have been blessed to
participate in all of these Ministries and Committees.
Tom Vander Sanden
Tom and his wife Carol have been
married for 52 years and
parishioners at St. George since
1958. They have six children and
eleven grandchildren. He has been
active in a number of ministries at
St. George including Ushering,
Eucharistic Minister of Communion,
Family Ministry, as well as a
member of the Knights of Columbus.
He will be entering his second year as a Pastoral Council
member. When I joined the Council last year my objective was
to learn more about how the Council interacts with the various
Parish Ministries, enhance my spiritual life and use my life
experience to contribute where possible as a Council Member.
The first year was very interesting and fulfilling and now I look
forward to expand my contributions to the Parish Council and
assist the Parish Ministries wherever possible.
Arlene Astrowski
As I start my third year on the Pastoral
Council I am so grateful that when I
retired two and half years ago Fr. Fleck
asked me to consider being on the
council. It was hard this past year
being involved with parish life as I
watched my dear husband Len slowly
succumb to pancreatic and liver cancer. Len died on February 6 and I
cannot thank the Pastoral and Parish staff for all their support and
love through this rough period. This is a community and the idea of
giving a little of your time to help your church family is worth it.
Len and I have been involved in most ministries throughout our 40
years as members of St. George. This is our church family and as in
any family you have to take time to build relationships. I was
involved with religious education for many years and my students felt
they didn’t know God. I used to tell them to treat God as a good
friend and if you have a good friend you want to spend time with
them, you call and talk to them (prayer), you learn about them (the
Bible), you spend time with them (liturgy, prayer services, adoration
chapel). You see it’s not complicated to be involved you just need to
make the commitment. Pray about joining us as a member of the
council, we can always use more help. Your sister in Christ.
Deb Lettiere
I came from the city and for twentyfive years I was involved with my
parish at the time, St. Mary Star of the
Sea. I moved to Tinley Park
seventeen years ago and attended
other churches in the area. I missed
not being part of the community and
parish life. For the past three years I
have been attending St. George and became a parishioner because I
felt like I finally found a home here at St George. I have two children
and four grandchildren. My first and second year on Parish Council I
learned a lot about the parish and have meet so many wonderful
people. I am looking forward to another year being an active member
and serving on the Parish Council.
Leslie Vaicik
Hi! My name is Leslie Vaicik. I have been a parishioner for forty years and am fortunate enough to
have three adult children and four granddaughters. I have been involved at St George in many
capacities from religious education to helping plan our renovation of St. George and the Cahill
Center. This is my second year on the PPC and am enjoying my time spent on this committee and
look forward to helping create an even better St. George for future generations.

Welcome to St. George Catholic Church • Tinley Park, IL 60477
Sue Sharp
I first joined St. George Parish in 1991. I was here
until 1993 when a move took me back home to St.
John’s Parish in Glenwood, Illinois. I returned back
to St. George in 1999 after getting married. Today I
am a single working mom and have a teenage
daughter, Jane. We have both been involved in the
Parish through being on the Parish Registration
Team since 2007. I am currently the Parish
Registration Team Leader, a Eucharistic Minister, Eucharistic
Adoration Chapel Adorer, part of the Catholic Identity Group and I
help at Bingo once a month.
I was asked to join the Parish Council about a year and a half ago. I
decided to decline since it would be my daughters eighth grade year
at St. George School and I wanted to be available to her and all her
eighth grade activities. Then this past Spring I heard the
announcement about the Parish Council Information Luncheon and
when I checked the date I saw that I was unavailable to attend. I
thought, sorry God I can’t do it again, I already have plans. Then I
got a phone call and my family wanted to change the plans we had
on the day of the luncheon. Suddenly I was available. I went to the
luncheon and then did some praying and discerning about joining
the council. I love it when I have my plans all set and then God
shows me His plan. I also love it that I’m learning to see and follow
His plan. I look forward to the coming years of serving on the
Parish Council.
God Bless,
Sue Sharp
Kris Hattendorf
Hi my name is Kris Hattendorf. I am
a retired Telecommunications
Analyst and am currently a full time
babysitter for the three youngest of
my nine grandchildren. Although
I’m exhausted at the end of my day,
they bring me such joy, love and
laughter! This is my second year as
a member of the St. George Pastoral Council and I am looking
forward to some very interesting projects we have in store for us.
The council has opened my eyes to all of the underlying tasks that
need to be addressed in order for our parish to thrive and grow.
Please keep us in your prayers throughout the year!
Rich and Lynda O’Brien
We have parishioners for twenty years.
We have two grown children. We are
both retired. Rich was a stationary
engineer and Lynda was a physical
education teacher. Since we retired
we feel that we have more time to
dedicate to the parish, so we decided
to join the Parish Council.
Jane Sharp
Hi I am Jane Sharp! I attended St. George School
first through eighth grade. I am currently a
freshman at Providence Catholic High School. I
will be going on the NCYC trip this November,
and I look forward to sharing my experience when
I get back. At St. George Church I am involved in
Parish Registration, Altar Serving, Altar Sever
Training and I am a Lector. At Providence I am
getting involved in Habitat for Humanity, Respect for Life, and
Augustinian Youth Ministry. I also volunteer at P.A.W.S every
Friday night.
I cannot really explain why I joined Parish Council, just like I
do not know why I wanted to go to Providence. I do not really
have a reason, but I had more of a feeling. I felt it was right for
me and it is where I should be. I believe God has led me towards
Parish Council, just like he led me to Providence.
I would like to end in this Augustinian Prayer,
“Direct we beseech you, O Lord, all our actions by Your holy
inspiration and carry them out by Your gracious assistance so
that every prayer and good work of ours may always begin from
You and by You be happily ended through Christ our Lord.
Amen.”
Roxanne Sanderson
My name is Roxane Sanderson, I have
been a St. George parishioner for eighteen
years, however, parish community life has
always been a part of my life. I grew up
in Chicago and have always identified my
location by my parish which was Nativity
of Our Lord—Mayor Daley’s old parish.
My parents instilled a sense of church
community from a very young age. They
were both very involved in church
ministries. Amongst many other things my father was in charge
of all the lectors at church. He found that they had a shortage of
volunteers and I wanted to read from the altar, but at that time it
was not allowed. With permission from my pastor I was
allowed to be the first female on the altar and I was only fifteen
years old.
In my early twenties I joined a young adult retreat program
called Search for Christian Community. In 1990 I moved to
St. Linus Parish where I became one of the youth ministers. I
am still single and I live with my mother. I am the Director of
Physician Services at Silver Cross Hospital. My most proud
moments have been recruiting five physicians to Silver Cross
who were once teenagers in my youth groups.
There will be a second collection next weekend, The
Seminarian Education Fund collection, which will go
specifically to the formation of new priests for the Archdiocese
of Chicago. This years’ collection puts more emphasis on the
seminarians. The hope is to ensure the vitality of our priest
formation programs and bring more connection between the
people and their future. The funds help to underwrite
archdiocesan costs related to tuition and fees, and other
formation programs for these men.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen Museum Bus Trip
The next St. George bus
pilgrimage will take place on
Tuesday, October 6 to The
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Museum, 419 NE Madison
Ave., Peoria, IL 61603. The cost
is $20 for the bus which will
leave from St. George at 8:00
am and return around 4:00 pm.
One may bring a bag lunch or
purchase a meal from the
cafeteria.
Please register for this trip at the rectory office by
September 25. All fees are due at time of registration.
The Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Museum closely cooperates
with the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation and the
Diocesan Museum and archives. Fulton Sheen never forgot
his Peoria roots and his home diocese. His museum is
located in the Spalding Pastoral Center on the same historic
campus where he graduated from the Cathedral grade school
and Spalding High School. Only one block away stands the
Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, where
young Fulton Sheen learned to serve Mass and was ordained
a priest on September 20, 1919.
The Sheen Museum is maintained by the Archbishop Fulton
John Sheen Foundation and with pride displays a wide
variety of artifacts from the Archbishop's life which are
housed in several collections. The exhibit includes writings,
books, photos, a selection of his vestments and Episcopal
regalia and many other artifacts displayed through the
generosity of various donors.
The Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Museum is dedicated to
maintaining a museum where Sheen's lifework is available
for all to see. In this single, central location the artifacts
from his life are preserved and shared with the world in a
manner worthy of this notable and holy man of God.

Orphan Train

A little Orphan Train History....
“They put us all on a big platform in some big building while people
came from all around the countryside to pick out those of us they wished
to take home. I was four years old, and my sister was only two . . .”
The Orphan Trains moved children out of New
York City, traveling to the Midwest and beyond.
Some children had a wonderful life with their new
family, while others were not so fortunate. Some
children disappeared into the countryside; others
became prominent citizens, politicians and family
members. The Orphan Trains were a project
conceived by the Rev. Charles Loring Brace of
the New York Children’s Aid Society with the
goal of moving the homeless and helpless
children from the streets of the city and finding
them homes in more rural areas of the Midwest
and West.... Before long, other charitable
organizations in New York and Boston had joined the program, and by
the end of the 1800s, charities in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois adopted the
program and sent children to states farther west. Between 1853 and
1929, some two hundred thousand children rode the trains." The Source:
A Guidebook to American Genealogy."

Organization Records" by Kay Haviland Freilich, CG, CGL, and Ann

save three lives! Please join us at our next Blood Drive on
Tuesday, September 29 in O’Connell Hall from 3:30 pm to
7:30 pm. Think of your friends and loved ones who have needed
blood. Come to the St. George Blood Drive on Tuesday, September 29. To reserve a time

+++++++++++++++++++++++
PRO-LIFE HOLY HOUR
You are invited to a Pro-Life Holy Hour on Friday, October 2
at 7:00 pm in church. We will pray before the Blessed
Sacrament for true respect for all human life from conception to
natural death. Please come to pray that our nation will be
converted to a culture of life.
LIFE CHAIN 2015
Life Chain Sunday is coming on October 4. Life Chains will
again form on sidewalks across the U.S.A. and Canada in over
1900 cities and towns. Standing publicly, Christians will create a
silent, loving protest against abortion. More than 90% of women
who have had an abortion say they wish they hadn't, and they
wouldn't have if they had received the right information. Please
join your fellow parishioners to represent St. George Parish as
we attend this life-saving event on 159th Street west of Harlem
Avenue from 2:00 to 3:30 pm. To allow time for distribution of
signs, please plan to arrive by 2:00 pm. This year we will be
located on the north side of 159th Street in front of Harbor
Freight (7520 W 159th).
A ministry of prayer, communication and education!
Enjoy one more taste of garden-fresh tomatoes, the last scents of
newly-mowed grass and roses in the garden, a final bit of warm
summer sunshine, and know that you are loved. Listen for
marching bands and football players practicing, see the kids
getting on their school buses, kids walking with their backpacks,
kids playing after school, and consider how God cares for each of
us. Appreciate the joys which surround us now, and anticipate Fall
and the fun we have to look forward to! God is so good, and we
are Beloved Children of our good and gracious God. AMEN!
Please share the blessings that you have, and the love that you
receive, with precious people in your life. A great way to share
God's love is by giving the gift of a blessed prayer shawl. Shawls
are free - please call Pina Quatrini at 708-606-0898, or Maureen
Cetera at 708-253-5592. Thanks to the many wonderful donors
who make it possible for us to share "hugs from God!" We
appreciate you!

vigils at Access Health Clinic (1700 75th Street, Downers Grove,
Illinois) and Family Planning Associates Albany Medical Center
