HOSPITALITY WEEKEND Join us for Hospitality this weekend after all the masses. Hosted by the Knights of Columbus.
Rest in Peace
Our condolences to the family and friends of Richard Herner I thank God today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of my brothers and sisters. I know I am responsible for the unborn who cannot speak for themselves. I know that the most serious tragedy of our day is the tragedy of abortion. Today I commit myself, never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all. Amen! Rest in Peace, Richard

STEWARDSHIP OF TIME
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In the reading from the letter of St. James we are urged to be doers of the Gospel, not just listeners. Being a steward of Gods Word is a matter of listening to the Good News, embracing the Good News and putting the Good News into action in our day-to-day lives. And whenever we are uncertain as to what decisions to make or actions to take as good stewards of the Gospel, St. James reminds us: We can never go wrong if we resist popular values that are not compatible with the Gospel, and we come to the aid of those who are burdened, distressed and poor.
Each year the Knights of Columbus hold the Tootsie Roll Drive to raise funds for the Developmentally Challenged. This year the Knights will be soliciting for donations after all masses the weekend of Sept.14th and 15th.- Tootsie Roll Banks will be available. The Knights will be on street corners and store fronts in our area the weekend of Sept.14th and 15th along with Sept.21st and 22nd. Please help us raise funds for Registered Charitable Organizations in our area. We thank you in advance for your support. Anyone wishing to volunteer on the weekends please contact Ed Schumann at (630)627-8213. Non-Knights and ladies are most welcome to help. ST.VINCENT DE PAUL FOOD PANTRY NEWS Recently our SVDP food pantry joined with the Jewel Food Store at Roosevelt and Main in a program to supply our clients with food that we previously had to buy from the Northern Illinois Food Bank. In addition to meat products, we also receive produce, dairy items, bakery items and items from the deli. The program enables us to pick up food on Wednesday and Saturday. This is all good food that may be near or on the "sell-by" date. The response from our clients has been very positive and this food gives them something previously not available to them. Our SVDP food pantry currently has 2 chest type freezers that are very near capacity because of food items we receive from other local businesses. In order to take full advantage of the food being offered to us by Jewel we need to increase our available freezer space. We ask that if anyone has a freezer they no longer use to consider donating it to our food pantry. We would make arrangements to pick it up. You would be helping greatly in our mission to do as Jesus commanded; "Feed the Hungry".

Ministry of the Faith Formation Commission WEDNESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY SEPTEMBER 5
This long, hot summer is winding down and its a good time to start thinking about fall and the coming season at Christ the King. The Wednesday Evening Bible Study Group will kick off the 2012/2013 season on September 5, in the East Room at 7 oclock. We are a small Christian community of about ten parishioners who meet on the first and third Wednesday evenings to discuss the various books of the Bible. To start this season we will study the Parables using Stories of the Kingdom by Amy Welborn as a guidebook. We have lively discussions and its a fun group of people. Please bring your Bible (although the Bible is not mandatory) and plan to join us and learn about the Parables and other stories of the Scripture. If you have questions please call Don at 630-629-3028. Help Wanted

A Response from a Parishioner to the Eucharistic Bulletin Article I LOVE those commandments of Reverence!!! Recently when Queen Elizabeth was being honored for her jubilee as queen and again at the Olympics, I saw people dressed in their best clothing and curtsying to her and bowing to her husband, the Duke. Now they are important people, but they pale in comparison to God. Even when meeting government dignitaries when I was working, we shook hands out of respect and if we knew of their coming ahead of time, we tried to dress in our finest clothes. Plus there was a specific dress code for work. So I think it's only right to do the same for God when we come to church. God certainly deserves our highest respect, after all, he created us. The other thing is that people don't respond "Amen" to the EM's words "Body of Christ; Blood of Christ". When anyone gives a gift we say thank you to the person. Amen is even a greater thank you. This Eucharistic gift is from God and will lead us to heaven; it's a far far greater gift and yet so many don't say anything. I hope this will be mentioned in coming weeks as one of the commandments. It is nice to know that our parishioners are reading the articles in our bulletin and for their concern on how we show our reverence to the Eucharist. We all can try and do our best for the Lord, right? Fr. Jarosz

Pastors Reflections +As I worked in my office this Friday night, I see as I have noticed for my past ten years at CTK, the Holy Trinity, Our Lady of Fatima Prayer community. Every week they spend a couple hours in praying, singing, sharing, studying Scripture and hospitality. Monti, my dog and I enjoy listening to the praise and song of the community each week, in the rectory. Monti loves this night because of the smell of good food. I pray that our prayer community continue for the years ahead---praying for the parish, the world and Church Universal. +Every Tuesday at 5pm the same small group of parishioners pray the rosary in Church. I feel bad because our community does not use this time of prayer more. This group of three parishioners faithfully come each week to pray for us-the whole parish. As we soon begin September, hopefully families and children will join them. Is the time too early? Should it be after work or before supper? Our Lady will continue to invite us to enter into the holy mysteries of Her Son Jesus. +Did you know before the Bible study group on Wednesdays or the Sunday Scripture group begins on Thursdays, they both begin their session with breaking open the Word of God. This is proclaiming the scripture, sharing reflections and then how will they live out the Word of God, in their lives. These two communities are anxiously preparing to begin, the Holy Fathers Year of Faith in October. Long Live, Pope Benedict! + How has prayer and reflection changed your life? Have we invited our children and grandchildren to pray lately? God is always please with our efforts. Peace and all good things to you! Fr. Jarosz
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Festivities begin with Mass at noon, followed by food, fun and entertainment on the parish grounds!

Back to School...
Its that time of year again. This year it seems to be happening sooner than usual, but it is time to say farewell to our college bound parishioners, and time to begin our new school year. As our children set out to grow in knowledge and wisdom, we ask God to bless them and send the Spirit upon them to guide them through the excitement and awkwardness, of the new school year. We hope that Christ the King will always be a place they can call home! We will miss you.
We Need YOU!!
What is your gift? Do you hear God calling you? Can you share your faith with our young parishioners?
Where are you with your Summer Faith Challenge? We will have information available about Football Mania , and how it can be used as a way to lower your tuition costs this year. We are still looking for assistance in many areas of R.E. Please talk to Sherry Rochford and see how you can help our children on their faith journey this year! Our first session of R.E. for the 2012-2013 school year will be: Sunday, September 9 & Wednesday, September 12.
We are still looking for a few good people who want to share their faith with the young people of Christ the King. We need Catechists and assistants. As a Catechist, you will work with an assistant or Co-Catechist to share your faith through weekly lessons. We provide all the resources you need to help you on this journey. As an assistant, you will help the Catechists by helping the children stay on task. Never say you are too young because we can use High School Students too!
