Saint John Berchmans School
Greetings St. John Berchmans Parish Community,
And happy Catechetical Sunday! Today we celebrate, thank and commission our teachers – our Catechists – as they embark on yet
another year of educating and forming our children, in their minds, their bodies and their hearts. As Catholic School and Religious
Education teachers, their role in our children’s lives is so important to the health and vitality of our families, of our parish community
and of our Church as whole.
It is a particularly exciting year to be teaching and learning in Catholic Schools and Religious Ed Programs in the U.S. In our classrooms
across the country, teachers and students are talking about and preparing for the arrival of Pope Francis, who is himself a great supporter
and advocate for Catholic Schools!
In an address to some students in Albania a few years ago, he provided a wonderful reminder for us about how our schools should serve our students.
“School is one of the educational environments where one grows by learning how to live, how to become grown-up, mature men and women. … Following
what St. Ignatius teaches us, the main element in school is learning to be magnanimous … This means having a big heart, having a greatness of soul. It means
having grand ideals, the desire to achieve great things in response to what God asks of us and, precisely because of this, doing everyday things, all our daily
actions, commitments, and meetings with people well. [It means] doing the little everyday things with a big heart that is open to God and to others.”
At St. John Berchmans, it is easy to see our students learning to be magnanimous! A walk through our halls where students are actively participating in
science centers, or improvising in music class or delving deep into a novel study would offer you just a glimpse into their big hearts as they achieve great
everyday things.
The Pope goes on to remind us of the importance of service in our schools.
“In your schools you participate in various activities that prepare you not to be wrapped up in yourselves or in your own little world, but to open yourselves
to others, especially to the poorest and most in need, to work to improve the world we live in.”
Once again, St. John Berchmans students and teachers embody this ideal of service as we continue to collaborate with Catholic Charities, in our work with
the Faces of Poverty curriculum, and as we embark on a new project with their help called Works of Mercy.
Finally, Pope Francis offers a word of encouragement to our teachers. “Don’t be discouraged by the difficulties that the educational challenge presents!
Educating isn’t a profession but an attitude, a way of being. In order to educate you must go out of yourselves and be amidst the young, accompanying them
in the stages of their growth, standing beside them.”
So, today, I ask you to offer your encouragement to our teachers, too. Take a moment to pray for, thank and think about the good work they do. I know I
will do all three.
With warmth and gratitude,
Peggy Roket
Principal
@MrsRoket, @sjberchmans
Our Mission:
Rooted in Christ, touched by His love and mercy, the Saint John Berchmans community finds unity in its diversity, proclaims by Word, Sacrament, and
service, that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and declares that all are welcome in this place.

FATHER PAUL HEALTH - UPDATE
As you know, in addition to the cancer Father Paul is experiencing a great deal
of pain in his right hip. Last spring the decision was made to postpone hip
replacement surgery to begin chemotherapy. Due to excellent results from
the latest CT Scan, the doctors now believe that this surgery is a necessity to
improve Father Paul’s quality of life and help in the fight against his cancer.
Catholic Charities has been assisting refugees for more than
40 years, including refugees from Syria. Families are provided
housing, household items, clothing, food, job search assistance and
other services. Parishes have “sponsored” refugee families and
provided both concrete assistance (payment for rent, etc.) and
companionship (visiting with parish scout groups, or one on one
with adult refugees). To donate money to the Catholic Charities
Refugee Resettlement Program, please send checks to:
Things are moving quickly, and the surgery is scheduled for Monday,
September 21st. Please continue to keep Father Paul, and his doctors, in
your prayers as he undergoes surgery and rehabilitation during the coming
weeks. It is unknown how long this process will take, or when he will be able
to return to the rectory and to active ministry – we will keep you posted.
Cards and letters will be gratefully accepted at the rectory office, and we will
make sure that he receives them.

SUPPORT THEIR CALL TO THE PRIESTHOOD
How many times in our lives has a priest brought healing to you and to
your families? How many times has a priest celebrated the liturgy on
Sunday, throughout the week and at special parish and family celebrations,
bringing Christ to you through the Eucharist? How many times has a priest
stood with you in joy at the birth of a child; at your bedside in the hospital,
or in sorrow at the death of a loved one?
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
(RCIA)
Let us pray for vocations to the priesthood; that we may have priests whose
lives are directed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the service of God’s
people.
RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is a life changing journey
of faith for adults who would like to be baptized, those who have already
been baptized Catholic and would like to complete the sacraments of
Eucharist and Confirmation, and those baptized in other Christian faiths
who seek full communion with the Catholic Church. The RCIA program
at St. John Berchmans will begin in mid October and meet into April. The
sacraments are received at the Easter Vigil on March 26, 2016.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and financial support. The Annual
Collection for the Seminary System for the Archdiocese of Chicago is
September 26-27, 2015.
RCIA provides a blessed space and time during which you are invited to
explore the Catholic Faith. Meet new friends and learn through prayer and
scripture, ask questions, tell stories and grow with a new faith community,
led by the Holy Spirit. If you are interested in finding out more, if you
know of anyone who might be a candidate for RCIA, or if you are willing to
help as a RCIA team member or sponsor, please contact Shelagh Donoghue
in the rectory office or at [email protected].

La Escuela de San Juan Berchmans
Saludos a la Comunidad Parroquial de San Juan Berchmans,
¡Y feliz Domingo Catequético! Hoy celebramos, agradecemos y comisionamos a nuestros maestros - nuestros catequistas - mientras se
embarcan en un año más a educar y formar las mentes, cuerpos y corazones de nuestros hijos. Como maestros de la escuela católica y
la educación religiosa, su papel en la vida de nuestros hijos es tan importante para la salud y la vitalidad de nuestras familias, de nuestra
comunidad parroquial y de nuestra Iglesia totalmente.
Es un año especialmente emocionante para la enseñanza y aprendizaje en las escuelas católicas y en los Programas de Educación Religiosa en
los EE.UU. ¡En nuestras aulas en todo el país, los maestros y los estudiantes están hablando y preparándose para la llegada del Papa Francisco,
quien es un gran partidario y defensor de las escuelas católicas!
En un discurso a estudiantes en Albania hace unos años, proporcionó un recordatorio maravilloso para nosotros acerca de cómo nuestras escuelas deben servir a
nuestros estudiantes.
“La escuela es uno de los ambientes educativos en los que crecemos para aprender a vivir, para ser hombres y mujeres adultos y maduros…. Siguiendo lo que nos
enseña San Ignacio, en la escuela el elemento principal es aprender a ser magnánimo... La magnanimidad significa tener un gran corazón, tener un alma grande,
quiere decir tener grandes ideales, el deseo de lograr grandes cosas en respuesta a lo que Dios pide de nosotros, y para ello hacer las cosas bien todos los días, todas
las acciones cotidianas, los compromisos, los encuentros con la gente; hacer las pequeñas cosas de todos los días con un gran corazón abierto a Dios y a los demás”.
En San Juan Berchmans, es fácil ver a nuestros estudiantes aprender a ser magnánimos. Un paseo por nuestros salones donde los estudiantes están participando
activamente en centros de ciencia, o improvisando en la clase de música o profundizando en el estudio de una novela le ofrecería sólo una idea de sus grandes
corazones, como logran grandes cosas de todos los días.
El Papa continúa recordándonos la importancia del servicio en nuestras escuelas.
“En sus escuelas ustedes participan en diversas actividades que les llevan a no encerrarse en uno mismo o en su propio pequeño mundo, sino a abrirse a los demás,
especialmente a los pobres y necesitados, a trabajar para mejorar el mundo en que vivimos”.
Una vez más, los estudiantes y maestros de San Juan Berchmans personifican este ideal de servicio a medida que continuamos colaborando con Caridades
Católicas, en nuestro trabajo con el Programa de Rostros de la Pobreza, y con su ayuda nos embarcamos en un nuevo proyecto llamado Obras de Misericordia.
Por último, el Papa Francisco ofrece unas palabras de ánimo a nuestros maestros. “¡No se desanimen ante las dificultades que presenta el desafío educativo! Educar
no es una profesión sino una actitud, una forma de ser; para educar es necesario salir de sí mismos y estar entre los jóvenes, para acompañarlos en las etapas de
crecimiento, estando a su lado”.
Así, pues también, hoy en día, les pido que ofrezcan su apoyo a nuestros maestros. Tomen un momento para orar, agradecer y pensar en el gran trabajo que hacen.
Yo sé que hare las tres cosas.
Con aprecio y gratitud,
Peggy Roket
Directora
@MrsRoket, @sjberchmans
Nuestra Misión:
“Arraigada en Cristo y tocada por Su amor y misericordia, la comunidad de San Juan Berchmans encuentra unidad en su diversidad, proclama por medio

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE LA SALUD DEL PADRE PAUL
Como usted ya sabe, además del cáncer, el Padre Paul está experimentando
un gran dolor en su cadera derecha. La primavera pasada tomó la decisión de
posponer la cirugía de reemplazo de cadera para comenzar la quimioterapia.
Debido a los excelentes resultados de la última tomografía computarizada,
los médicos creen que esta cirugía es necesaria para mejorar la calidad de
vida y ayudar al padre Paul en su lucha contra el cáncer.
Caridades Católicas ha estado ayudando a los refugiados
durante más de 40 años, incluyendo a los refugiados de Siria.
Proporcionando a las familias con vivienda, artículos para el
hogar, ropa, comida, asistencia en la búsqueda de empleo y
otros servicios. Las parroquias han “patrocinado” a familias de
refugiados con ambas, asistencia concreta (el pago por el alquiler,
etc.) y el compañerismo (visitando con los grupos de scouts de
la parroquia), o a cada uno de los refugiados adultos. Para donar
dinero a Caridades Católicas para el Programa de Reasentamiento
de Refugiados, por favor envié cheques a:
Las cosas se están moviendo rápidamente, y la cirugía está programada
para el lunes 21, de septiembre. Por favor, continúe manteniendo al padre
Paul, y a sus médicos, en sus oraciones mientras se somete a la cirugía y
rehabilitación durante las próximas semanas. No se sabe cuánto tiempo se
llevará este proceso, o cuando será posible que regrese y se mantenga activo
en la rectoría y ministerio – nosotros le mantendremos informado. Serán
aceptadas con agradecimiento las tarjetas y cartas en la oficina de la rectoría,
y nos aseguraremos de que él las recibirá.

QUE TENGAMOS SACERDOTES
¿Cuántas veces un sacerdote trajo alivio a nuestras vidas y a las de nuestros
familiares? ¿Cuántas veces ha celebrado un sacerdote la liturgia del Domingo,
las de toda la semana y aquellas que con motivo de una celebración especial
de la parroquia o de nuestra familia, celebra trayéndonos a Cristo a través
de la Eucaristía? ¿Cuántas veces ha estado un sacerdote a nuestro lado en
la alegría que da el nacimiento de un hijo; al lado de nuestra cama en el
hospital o ante el dolor que provoca la muerte de un ser querido?
Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para
Adultos (RICA)
RICA, el Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos, es una jornada de fe
que cambia la vida de los adultos que desean ser bautizados, los que ya
han sido bautizados católicos y les gustaría completar los sacramentos
de la Eucaristía y la Confirmación, y aquellos que han sido bautizados
en otras denominaciones cristianas que buscan la plena comunión con la
Iglesia católica. El programa de RICA en San Juan Berchmans comenzará
a mediados de octubre y se reunirá hasta abril. Los sacramentos se reciben
en la Vigilia de Pascua en 26 de marzo 2016.
Oremos por las vocaciones para el sacerdocio; porque tengamos sacerdotes
cuyas vidas estén dirigidas por la Palabra de Jesucristo en el servicio
del pueblo de Dios. Gracias por sus continuas plegarias y por su apoyo
financiero. La Colecta para el Sistema de Seminarios de la Arquidiócesis de
Chicago es el 26-27 de septiembre.
RICA proporciona el espacio y tiempo sagrado en el cual se le invita a
explorar la fe católica. A conocer nuevos amigos y aprender a través de
la oración y la escritura, a hacer preguntas, contar historias y crecer con
una nueva comunidad de fe, guiados por el Espíritu Santo. Si usted está
interesado en saber más, si conoce a alguien que podría ser un candidato
para RICA, o si está dispuesto a ayudar como miembro del equipo de RICA
o patrocinador, por favor póngase en contacto con Shelagh Donoghue en la

Todos los que nos precedieron nos dieron mucho por lo cual
estamos agradecidos. Ahora es nuestro turno de devolver el favor
y dejar nuestro legado para la futuras generaciones.
Among all other instruments which are suitable for divine worship,
the organ is accorded pride of place because of its capacity to sustain
the singing of a large gathered assembly, due to both its size and its
ability to give “resonance to the fullness of human sentiments, from
joy to sadness, from praise to lamentation. Likewise, the manifold
possibilities of the organ in some way remind us of the immensity
and the magnificence of God.” (Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine
Worship ©2007 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.)

“Su Regalo Da Dos Veces”
The above quote is evidence of the importance the bishops place
on the use of the organ in Roman Catholic liturgy. We are blessed
here at St. John Berchmans to have a beautiful pipe organ. Built in
1925, by the Kilgen Pipe Organ Co. of St. Louis, MO, the organ has
helped several generations of the faithful worship God in song. The
organ has been part of celebrations of major feasts of the church
year, regular weekly liturgies, the joys of couples beginning their
lives together, and has helped the bereaved as they mourn the loss
of loved ones. Sadly, the organ was neglected for several decades,
and allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Thanks to the efforts
of former Music Director Jonathan Mercado, the organ has been
partially restored and is now playable. However, it still needs a
lot of work. Some of the mechanical parts are in need of repair
or replacement, and the pipes need voicing, so they there is a
consistent sound throughout each rank of pipes.
