FAMILY MASS
St. Stephen’s Parish has been celebrating Family Mass on the
4th Sunday of each month. What is Family Mass? It is an
opportunity to attend the Sunday liturgy as a family and to
participate in the mass together with other families. We
would like to have families participate as lectors, ushers,
readers, gift bearers, and to distribute the bulletins at the conclusion of mass. Our goal is to strengthen our parish community as well as to grow in our own faith. We encourage
families with young children to sit near the front of the
church on Family Mass Sundays. We are hoping that you
and your family will be willing to participate together.
Family Mass flyers can be found in the pews and near the
entrances for more information and to sign up. Please contact
Liz Gallichio for more information at 847-298-5445.

en el que las actividades ordinarias suceden cada día.
Salimos a rezar en el parque donde los amigos y la familia pasan
el tiempo para relajarse y jugar. Salimos al parque donde exhibimos nuestra reverencia a la presencia de Dios, como nosotros
alentamos a otros a experimentar la misma. Nuestra intención en
la oración en público no tiene como objetivo mostrar por el bien
de la palabra. Más bien, nuestra acción comunal tiene la intención de enfatizar que Dios es una parte extraordinaria de la
vida ordinaria que tenemos.
Por lo tanto, este es el momento que podemos usar pantalones cortos y usar sombreros mientras oraba fuera del edificio
de la iglesia. Este es el momento en que nos podría llevar a nuestras mascotas a adorar con nosotros. Este es un momento en el
que podemos llevar nuestras cómodas sillas, así como nuestra
chips y salsa favorita para compartir con la comunidad después
de la liturgia. Vamos a disfrutar un buen rato! Dejemos de lado
nuestras preocupaciones por un tiempo y centrarse en la alegría
que pudiera producirse en conocer a otras personas.
Pongamos por nuestras defensas por un tiempo. Puede
ser que sea demasiado caliente! Puede ser que sea demasiado
incómodo! Puede ser que sea demasiado ruidoso para orar! Yo
no como tal o comida! No me siento cómodo pasar tiempo con
otros feligreses! Yo no quiero hacer esto y yo no quiero hacer
eso ... Oh, bien seguro, nada va a pasar con nosotros si no vamos
a explorar cualquier caso nuestras ofertas parroquiales. Pero podríamos pasar por alto las oportunidades positivas reservadas
para nosotros por el Espíritu Santo, una vez que nos detenemos a
explorar el mundo que nos rodea. Una vez más, hacer un esfuerzo para venir para el picnic y optar por tener un gran día con
todos nosotros.
Por último, no te olvides de llevar un plato para compartir. Tal vez algo de beber, botellas de refresco o agua, un postre de su elección o su receta especial. Lo más importante es
llevar alegría con ustedes y compartir con sus feligreses. Nos
vemos allí. Todos tengan una semana de bendiciones.
