Sunday July 5 - Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time
"I am content with weakness for the sake of Christ." 2Corinthians: 12: 7 - 10

Ordinary Time 
The word "Ordinary" means commonplace, and we tend to think of ordinary time as nothing in particular. However, with the Easter Season telling us of the resurrection of Jesus, this time is anything but ordinary. In his apostolic letter, "Dies Domini" Pope John Paul II wrote that "it is Easter which returns week by week commemorating Christ's death, and resurrection, not once a year but every Sunday in church.  St. Jerome said, "Sunday is the day of Christians, it is our day".

Holiday Closing
The Parish Office will be closed on Friday July 3, in observance of the July 4th Holiday. The office will reopen on Monday, July 5th at 9:00 a.m.

Begin America's Birthday Celebration With The Holiday Mass
On Saturday July 4th, we will celebrate our mass at 8:00 a.m. Please join us then to thank God for our many blessings and freedoms. 

Office Summer Hours

2009-10 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal, Diocese of Joliet
We live in difficult and challenging times. Those served by the Diocese of Joliet continue to need our help. Let us turn to "Christ, Our Light and Our Hope" to guide us in these times. If you have not turned in your pledge card yet, please do so today.  Please be as generous as you can when making your pledge to this important effort.

Food Pantry Collection
If you missed making a contribution you can still do so. Just drop it off at the Parish Office during business hours, or bring it any Sunday.  Hunger takes no vacation. The need goes on. Summer collections dwindle, please do not forget your neighbors in need as you vacation and enjoy the slower summer pace. We need any non-perishable foods and personal hygiene, paper and cleaning products. The need is always great and even greater in the summer months. 

Religious Education Registration 2009-2010
All parish children are welcome in the religious education program at Notre Dame Parish. The Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) program consists of the Children's Ministry for  children entering grades 1 - 5, and the Young Adolescent Ministry for youth entering grades 6 - 8. Class sessions are held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. The most important thing you can do for your children is to give them a firm foundation in the faith. Register now to reserve a place for your child. No child will be denied instruction in the faith due to an inability to pay tuition. For more information about the GIFT program, call 630.654.3364 or for the Religious Ed Registration Screen click here

Good Things to Pray For
End of abortion in our country,
Our Men and Women serving in the Armed Forces,

All of our sick, shut in, and bereaved,
Souls in Purgatory,
All the deceased members of our parish,
Those who have no one to pray for them
,
Peace - in the world, especially the Middle East, in communities, and in families,
For the poor, the hungry, and the homeless,
For those in difficult financial circumstances because of the economy,
Those who are unemployed because of the economy,
That the American economy improve. 
For all vacation travelers, that they remain safe while, going, staying and coming home,
And the list goes on.
