OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
These are exciting days for the Church in America with Pope Francis inspiring Catholics and non-Catholics alike during his visit to the United States. From the very
beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis has continually called us to missionary discipleship.
In his homily in Philadelphia, he challenged all of us to explore new ways so that our Church can be more equipped to carry on the mission of Christ: “One of the
great challenges facing the Church in this generation is to foster in all the faithful a sense of personal responsibility for the Church’s mission, and to enable them to
fulfill that responsibility as missionary disciples, as a leaven of the Gospel in our world.This will require creativity in adapting to changed situations, carrying forward
the legacy of the past not primarily by maintaining our structures and institutions, which have served us well, but above all by being open to the possibilities which
the Spirit opens up to us and communicating the joy of the Gospel, daily and in every season of our life.”
In my year in Chicago, I have been inspired by many of you and have great hope for our future. The joy of the Gospel is alive in Chicago. I have also been learning of
many realities that challenge us to evaluate how we work as parishes to share the joy of the Gospel into the future. The Holy Father is right, we should be attentive
to the reality before us. We know that the landscape of the Church in Chicago has changed since many of our parishes were founded, with demographics shifting
greatly over time. Some of our parishes have aging facilities that cost more to repair than we have. We also have fewer priests available to pastor our parishes. We are
sometimes challenged to fully live out the mission because we are spreading resources too thin. Pope Francis reminds us that we have the creativity to take on these
challenges with joy if we are open to the possibilities the Spirit opens up to us.
Earlier this week I met with all priests in the Archdiocese to begin the discussion of how to address these challenges in the coming years.This is just the beginning of a
long process to determine how to serve the pastoral needs of the Archdiocese and strengthen parish vitality for the long-term future. As the process moves forward,
I am committed to a process that involves discipline, wide consultation and community involvement. We want to ensure that our plans for the future best meet the
needs of the people of God, respond to the Church’s call to mission, and offer long-term sustainability. From time to time you will be hearing more about this effort,
but I wanted to let you know of this development, because I need and want your prayers for its success.You are in mine.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Blase J. Cupich
Archbishop of Chicago
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
Father Paul continues his rehab at Rush Oak Park, and requests our continued
prayers. His schedule remains day-to-day, but he is responding to emails as he
is able.We will continue to keep you updated as we await his - hopefully - swift

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
(RCIA)
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.
OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH
Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty.Your soul quiets
and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a
response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect
due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who
spoke the world into being? Now think of an artist stepping back from a great
work of art and admiring his or her creation.When God created each of us, He
did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that
cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each
of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No
matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the
masterpiece that he or she is.
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].
“Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the
poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to
live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.”

lives together in safety, prayer and community.

OFICINA DEL ARZOBISPO
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Estos son días llenos de emoción para la Iglesia en América, con el Papa Francisco inspirando a católicos y no católicos durante su visita a los Estados Unidos. Desde
el inicio de su pontificado, el Papa Francisco nos ha llamado de manera continua al discipulado misionero.
En su homilía en Filadelfia, nos desafió a todos a explorar nuevas formas para que nuestra Iglesia pueda estar más equipada para llevar a cabo la misión de Cristo: “Uno
de los grandes desafíos de la Iglesia en este momento es fomentar en todos los fieles el sentido de la responsabilidad personal en la misión de la Iglesia, y capacitarlos
para que puedan cumplir con tal responsabilidad como discípulos misioneros, como fermento del Evangelio en nuestro mundo. Esto requiere creatividad para
adaptarse a los cambios de las situaciones, transmitiendo el legado del pasado, no solo a través del mantenimiento de estructuras e instituciones, que son útiles, sino
sobre todo abriéndose a las posibilidades que el Espíritu nos descubre y mediante la comunicación de la alegría del Evangelio, todos los días y en todas las etapas de
nuestra vida”.
En el año que he pasado en Chicago, me he inspirado en muchos de ustedes y tengo una gran esperanza en nuestro futuro. La alegría del Evangelio está viva en
Chicago. También me he estado informando de muchas realidades que nos desafían a evaluar la forma en que estamos trabajando en las parroquias para compartir la
alegría del Evangelio en el futuro. El Santo Padre tiene razón, debemos estar atentos a la realidad que tenemos ante nosotros. Sabemos que el panorama de la Iglesia
en Chicago ha cambiado de cuando fueron fundadas muchas de nuestras parroquias a la fecha, y que han ocurrido grandes cambios demográficos a través del tiempo.
Algunas de nuestras parroquias tienen instalaciones que han envejecido y que tienen un costo de reparación mayor a nuestros recursos. También contamos con un
número menor de sacerdotes disponibles para pastorear nuestras parroquias. En ocasiones vivir plenamente nuestra misión se traduce en un desafío, debido a que
estamos utilizando pocos recursos para demasiadas necesidades. Francisco nos recuerda que tenemos la creatividad para asumir estos retos con alegría si estamos
abiertos a las posibilidades que el Espíritu descubre para nosotros.
A principios de esta semana me reuní con todos los sacerdotes de la Arquidiócesis para comenzar la discusión de cómo hacer frente a estos desafíos en los próximos
años. Este es sólo el comienzo de un largo proceso para determinar cómo servir las necesidades pastorales de la Arquidiócesis y fortalecer la vitalidad de la parroquia
en un futuro a largo plazo. Ahora que el proceso ha iniciado su marcha, quiero decirles que estoy comprometido a un proceso que involucre disciplina, una amplia
consulta y la participación de la comunidad. Queremos asegurarnos de que nuestros planes para el futuro satisfacen de la mejor manera las necesidades del pueblo
de Dios, que responden al llamado que hace la Iglesia a la misión, y que ofrecen una sostenibilidad a largo plazo. Es seguro que de vez en cuando ustedes escucharán
más sobre este esfuerzo, pero quería contarles acerca del mismo porque necesito y quiero que dediquen sus oraciones por su éxito. Recuerden que ustedes están en
las mías.
Sinceramente suyo en Cristo:
Reverendísimo Blase J. Cupich
Arzobispo de Chicago
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
de la palabra, Sacramento y servicio, que el Reino de Dios esta cerca y declara que todos son bienvenidos en este lugar.”

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE LA SALUD DEL PADRE PAUL
Padre Paul continúa su rehabilitación en Rush Oak Park, y pide
nuestras continuas oraciones. Su horario se mantiene día a día, pero
él está respondiendo a los correos electrónicos cuando le es posible.
Continuaremos informándole mientras esperamos su rápido retorno a San
Juan Berchmans.
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.
OCTUBRE ES EL MES DE RESPETO A LA VIDA
Imagínate deteniéndote ante un diseño de gran belleza. Tu alma se aquieta,
se maravilla y asombra. Si el arte, creado por el ser humano, puede evocar
tal respuesta en nuestro interior, ¿cuánto más debemos maravillarnos,
llenarnos de reverencia y respeto ante cada persona que encontramos,
hecha por el mismo Dios que dio existencia al mundo? Ahora piensa en un
artista que se aleja de una gran obra de arte y admira su creación. Cuando
Dios creó a cada uno de nosotros, lo hizo con precisión y con un propósito,
y mira a cada uno de nosotros con un amor que no se puede superar en
intensidad ni ternura. Además, el Señor nos invita a contemplarnos a
nosotros mismos y a contemplarnos mutuamente con la misma maravilla
y asombro. No importa cómo el mundo nos considere o considere a los
demás, tratemos a cada persona como la obra maestra que es.
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
oficina parroquial o en [email protected].
“Incluso los más débiles y vulnerables, los enfermos, los ancianos, los no nacidos y
los pobres, son obras maestras de la creación de Dios, hechos a su imagen, destinados
a vivir para siempre, y merecedores de la máxima reverencia y respeto”.

y con la comunidad.
