Baptism Preparation Classes
If you are anticipating the baptism of your child, and this
is your first child to be baptized at St. Ferdinand Church,
please accept our heartiest congratulations!
Parents are required to attend a Baptism preparation
class prior to the Baptism of your first child at St.
Ferdinand Church. Classes are usually held on the first
Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the rectory.
The dates of the next classes are:
February 4, 2004 and April 21, 2004
If you have any questions about the class or dates of
upcoming classes please call Joe Kummer at 773/6223022 ext. 366.
Since we do not celebrate the sacrament of Baptism
during the penitential season of Lent, if you wish to have
your child baptized during the Easter Season, then you
will need to participate in one of these classes. Please
call the rectory at 622-5900 to make your reservation at
the class of your choice.
As Catholics we take seriously the responsibility to
practice the faith we profess and to instill our CatholicChristian values in our children.

Our Financial Support of St. Ferdinand Parish
Sunday, January 17-18, 2004:
Envelopes:$ 7,265.58
Loose Cash:$ 3,423.31
TOTAL DONATIONS:$10,688.89
Amount over/ (under) weekly budget: ($4,311.11)
2nd Collection: Church in Latin America: $3,358.06
Through your generosity last weekend we supported
the Church in Latin America. The people of St.
Ferdinand Parish are always generous to those in need
and the concerns of the greater Church - both throughout
the Archdiocese of Chicago and throughout the world. It
is truly our responsibility to do so as members of the
Universal Church.
Unique to the various appeals that help the Church
outside of our parish boundaries, however, is the growing
practice of “splitting” one’s weekly budgeted support of
the Church, primarily from those who donate loose cash.
When we have a required second collection once a
month, our regular Sunday offertory decreases approximately $2,000. Coupled with the cold weather and another decrease of around $2,000 from envelope users, our
regular offertory last weekend dipped to a $4,300 shortfall.
Your support of St. Ferdinand Parish through the
weekly offertory envelope is very important. When supporting other needs of the Church, please consider a gift
that is over and above your usual offering. When we split
our contribution, we decrease the ability of our parish to
offer the ministries and services that you have grown
accustomed to and expect.
As always, we appreciate your support and your
goodness to others.
Daniel P. Costigan, Parish Business Manager
It is with pride that we share with you the accomplishments of our High School aged parishioners.
Gordon Technical High School is proud to announce that
Naomi Smith was awarded the “Student of the Month”
Award in September, 2003
for her dedication to Volleyball; and
Natalie Speiser was awarded the “Student of the Month”
Award in September, 2003
for her excellence in Art Foundations.
Congratulations, Ladies. Your parish family is very proud
of you.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Faith is the foretaste of that knowledge which
hereafter will make us happy.
—St. Thomas Aquinas
January 25, 2004
As members of the parish faith community, it
is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week because they are ill.
Those who are sick in turn, remember all of us
daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience
many blessings because of their remembering us. And so ...
please remember in your prayers:

Contribution Statements
In the past, many parishes
(including ourselves) mailed out contribution statements at the end of
every year. We have found, however,
that due to certain changes in IRS tax
laws and other circumstances, most
people no longer need the information found on these
statements. Because of this, and also the high cost of
postage, we will NOT be sending them out once again
this year.
If you still need a contribution statement, please call
the rectory Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. to request one, and to arrange a time and
date that you will pick it up. Statements will be printed by request only.
Bulletin reminder: All notices for the February 1st bulletin need to be
in the rectory no later than 9 AM on Monday, January 26th. You may
bring your bulletin notices to the rectory in an envelope labeled “bulletin”
or you may fax them to 622-5903. The e-mail address for bulletin
notices is [email protected].

Dear Parish Friends:
On the weekend of September 28-29, parishes across the
Archdiocese of Chicago were asked to support their Catholic
Press. Your parish’s response warmed our hearts.
Because of you, the important ministry of the Catholic
Press — The Catholic New World and Chicago Catolico — has
received a strong boost. On behalf of the 90,000 Catholic
homes which receive either our English or Spanish editions,
thank you.
Our newspapers are the voice of the church within and
beyond your parish boundary and are instrumental in connecting us all to the larger faith, sharing the stories of the people of
this archdiocese.

TACA NIEDZIELNA
Niedziela, 17/18 styczeñ, 2004
W kopertkach:
$ 7,265.58
W gotówce:
$ 3,423.31
CA£OŒÆ:
$10,688.89
Powy¿ej/(poni¿ej) tygodniowego celu: ($4,311.11)
Druga kolekta na rzecz Koœcio³a w Ameryce £aciñskiej
$3,358.06
Dziêki waszej hojnoœci w zesz³ym tygodniu mogliœmy
wesprzeæ Koœció³ w Ameryce £aciñskiej. Zawsze ilekroæ
pojawiaj¹ siê ró¿norakie potrzeby w Koœciele
Powszechnym- zarówno na terenie Archidiecezji Chicago
jak i na ca³ym œwiecie, okazujecie swoj¹ wielk¹ hojnoœæ.
Takie postêpowanie jest w³aœciwe dla cz³onków Koœcio³a
Chrytusowego.
Odpowiadaj¹c na apele o pomoc Koœcio³a poza nasza
parafi¹, wzros³a praktyka dzielenia przeznaczonej ofiary
dla swojej parafii na inne cele. Ta praktyka szczególnie
jest widoczna przy sk³adaniu ofiary w gotówce. W jedn¹
niedzielê miesi¹ca, kiedy zbierane s¹ dwie kolekty, nasza
niedzielna taca jest ni¿sza œrednio o $2,000. £¹cz¹c ten
fakt z warunkami pogodowymi i spadkiem ofiar o oko³o
$2,000 sk³adanych w kopertkach, zesz³otygodniowa
sk³adka obni¿ona by³a o przesz³o $4,300.
Wasz wk³ad na rzecz parafii poprzez sk³adanie tygodniowej ofiary jest bardzo wa¿ny. Kiedy okazujecie
hojnoœæ na rzecz potrzeb poza nasz¹ parafi¹, prosimy
rozwa¿cie potrzeby jakie istniej¹ w naszym Koœciele.
Kiedy dzielimy przenaczon¹ ofiarê na kilka celów, tym
samym pozbawiamy nasz¹ w³asn¹ parafiê mo¿liwoœci
dobrej pos³ugi, której oczekujecie i w stosunku do której
wasze oczekiwania s¹ coraz wy¿sze.
Doceniamy, jak zwykle, wasz wk³ad i dobroæ okazywan¹
nam i innym. Niech Bóg was wszystkich b³ogos³awi.

Prayer of Commitment to End Racism
Dear Lord, help us to search our own hearts and seek
forgiveness and reconciliation for racist attitudes and
beliefs to which we have given credence in our lives.
Help us not to speak or act in ways that demean our
brothers and sisters.
Help us to speak up and act when we hear or see
racism demonstrated in any way.
Help us to create inclusive, welcoming communities
where we live, work and worship as we pledge to
work to eradicate the sin of racism wherever it exists,
in our hearts, in our church, on our jobs and in our
communities.

That We May Have Priests . . .
Mundelein Seminary, as Cardinal George so proudly
proclaims, is one of the finest major seminaries in the
world. This year 75 men are preparing to be priests for
the Archdiocese of Chicago. Your support enables us to
provide these young men with the educational and spiritual formation necessary to face the challenges of
priesthood. Because of you, the healing touch of Jesus
will live through the work of these future priests for
you, your children and your grandchildren, well into
this century.
The Collection for the Seminary System for the
Archdiocese of Chicago is January 31-February 1,
2004.
Give us the courage as Christian disciples to work to
dismantle racism in the wider community.
With your grace, we will dwell together in God’s
love with all of our brothers and sisters.
We make this prayer in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
