A Word from the Pastor

This weekend, we honor the hard work that has made America a great country. Work plays an important role in our lives. We often get our sense of value as a person because of the work we do. Sometimes we can even go overboard with that. Work supplies us with a reason to get out bed, a way to support ourselves and

our families, and be a contributing member of society. The Church has lent our voice in recognizing the dignity of work --- and the worker --- since the 1890s. The Church was ahead of the curve. At that time labor unions were looked at with suspicion. Many industry moguls did everything they could to prevent or break union activity, often ending in violence. Eventually, the formation of unions led to child labor laws, safety standards and better wages for workers.

It seems that many unions today are having something of an identity crisis. The suspicions of the past are still present… but it cannot be disputed that unions have helped build America. In recent years we’ve heard a call to “Buy American.” Buying American products helps support our neighbors and strengthens our economy. These are important. On the other hand, if we wish to support American workers, we have to be prepared to pay for it. In our desire to find a bargain, it might be worthwhile noticing where that bargain item is made. Be aware that some countries pay so poorly, it is close to slave labor. Often the workers are children, working in dangerous conditions.

Along with Buying American goods, we have an easy opportunity to help people in other countries earn a fair wage by buying Fair Trade items right here at Saint George. These items are certified as having been made by workers making a proper income for the work and product.

Labor Day reminds us of how blest we are to live in this country. Giving people greater opportunities and a fair shot is our goal. There is certainly work to be done, making sure people have the chance to earn a living wage, salary parity between men and women and racial groups, and keeping working conditions safe. These all help to raise up the dignity of workers, and at the same time, lifting the dignity of the whole country. Thank you to everyone who has worked with their hands, muscles and brains. Enjoy this Labor Day!

Please mark your calendar for two dates when we will be honoring our former pastor, Father Ken Fleck. On Sunday, October 10, we will begin with 11:30 AM, celebrated by the man himself, followed by a picnic and party right here at Saint George. Then on Sunday, November 14 we will have something a little more dressy with a dinner-dance at Gaelic Park. At that occasion, we will also thank our COVID re-opening team who worked so hard and selflessly for a whole year. More details to come.

MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH JESUS

With the current uncertainties, disruptions, violence, and challenges here and around the

world, most people seem to agree that we need more prayers. What better way to make a connection with Jesus in prayer than to make a weekly appointment with Jesus in our Holy Family Chapel.

Re-opening day will soon arrive, but we need your participation to help offer prayers 78 hours per week (from 11:00 AM to midnight Monday through Saturday) beginning on Tuesday, September 14.

Use this link to get more information and to register for an hour that works for you: http://stgeorge60477.org/eucharistic-adoration/

Choose "Click Here To Sign Up" below the monstrance image, press "Weekly Commitment," select the hour you prefer, and enter the requested contact information. Press "Signup" to complete your registration. You will receive a confirmation email that includes instructions on how to electronically request a substitute when you might need one. If you do not have electronic access, please call Bill Beckman at 708-429-2762 to register your hour.

If making a regular hour is difficult because your schedule changes, please consider becoming a substitute adorer by pressing “Become a Sub” (under “Weekly Commitment”). You will receive notification by text or email when a substitute is needed so you can decide if that hour works for you that one day and time. Regular adorers can also register as potential substitutes to help make certain chapel hours are covered.

JOIN US FOR BREAKFAST! - Saturday, September 18

Are you looking to deepen your relationship with God? Be a better husband? Become a more loving father? Build friendships with other like-minded men? Then plan on joining us for breakfast at 6:30 AM on September 18.

That Man Is You! (TMIY) will meet weekly in O'Connell Hall at Saint George School. Coffee, fresh pastries, bagels, muffins, fruit and other hot breakfast items are available beginning at 6:30 AM,

along with smiling faces and good conversation. Our weekly video presentations start at 7:00 AM, followed by lively small-group discussions until we adjourn promptly at 8:00 AM.

Program brochures with full details about this year’s topics and objectives are now available at all church entrances. For those of you who have been with us in the past, you may recognize that we are returning to the initial “formative years” of TMIY that we originally started back in 2015. Although many of the session titles remain the same, be assured that all the video content has been updated and re-recorded.

There is no "course fee" for TMIY, but there is an optional program book available for $10. We only ask that those attending make a free-will donation towards defraying the cost of the breakfast items provided.

No dues, no long-term commitments, no evening committee meetings, and no requirement to be there every week. Just come whenever you can!

Here's a chance to make some new friends, or maybe grab a brochure for a friend and bring them with you! All adult men, 18 and older, are invited and encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

To learn more about this program, please contact Gary Hendzell at (708) 614-1734 or [email protected].

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. The Marian Fellowship group of men and women has been a great spiritual resource and inspirational blessing to all of our members. We share our spiritual gifts with each other as a community of believers. The discussions are lively and faith filled. It will be the most rewarding hour of your day.

I am looking forward to continuing our journey together in September. We will be reading the book, 33 Days to Greater Glory - Total Consecration to the Father through Jesus based on the Gospel of John by Michael E. Gaitely, MIC. We will meet through zoom for five Thursdays starting September 9, 2021.

Deacon Jerry Souta will be the Facilitator (jsouta@ stgeorge60477) or ([email protected]). Mary Spengler will be the zoom host ([email protected]).

We invite all men and women to join us. We will learn more about Jesus and His teachings through the Gospel of John. Join us and grow in faith. Please e-mail Mary or Jerry.

In religion class, fourth graders worked very intently on Acts of Kindness posters and posters to inform others about the Old Testament.

Fourth graders created a Hoop Glider as a STEM activity. They were given a small hoop, a large hoop, and a straw, and were challenged to create a hoop glider that can glide through the air. They experimented with changing the length of the straw, the position of the hoops, and the

direction in which they threw the gilder. We then had a team competition to see which group's gilder threw the farthest. We had FUN!

Creation Care Corner Celebrate the Season of Creation - Part 2

The Season of Creation is a month-long prayerful observance that calls upon Catholics to pray and care for God's Creation. It starts September 1 and ends October 4th. It's a time of reflection on our relationship with the environment, how we live, and how our lifestyles impact the natural world, humans and other creatures inhabiting it. This is a time of restoration and of hope, but also a time for action. It’s a time we can take to educate ourselves on new ways of living with Creation that better care for both people and the planet. It’s a time to craft plans and implement those changes.

What changes will you make as an individual to contribute to a more just and sustainable future? Have you considered joining your parish Creation Care Team, or starting one? The Catholic Climate Covenant has great resources to get one started. Consider reading the encyclical Laudato Si’, a great source of inspiration and motivation.

As Pope Francis said, "this is the season for letting our prayer be inspired anew,” a season “to reflect on our lifestyles,” and a season “for undertaking prophetic actions . . . calling for courageous decisions . . . directing the planet towards life, not death."

“We can all together say a prayer for migrants and refugees who live in the most

serious and difficult situations.” Pope Francis

SPRED THE LOVE

This is a picture of our group at AGAPE. It is the third part of our faith sharing… when at the end of our evening we enjoy refreshments together and talk. It is a time when we can all grow closer. If you seek to be God’s messenger, please consider helping spread God’s word to these men and women who are looking to hear it. It will be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have. For information, call Barbararose at 708-557-0501 or Liz at 708-373-6517.

Pope Francis Tweet

As Christians the situation in Afghanistan obligates us. In historic moments like this, we cannot remain indifferent. For this reason, I

address an appeal to everyone to intensify your prayer and practice fasting, asking the Lord for mercy and forgiveness.

Rev. Paul Seaman St. George Catholic Parish 6707 W. 175th St. Tinley Park, IL 60477

Dear Father Seaman,

We would like to express our gratitude to you, the families and staff, of St. George for participating in the 2021 Baby Bottle Project for The Women’s Center. The total collected in this year’s campaign came to a total of $2,145. This is a fantastic effort and we are truly grateful for everyone’s generous support.

The Baby Bottle Project is our primary fundraiser and enables us to continue our efforts of saving moms and their babies from the tragedy of abortion. We are able to provide women with counseling, material goods assistance, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds and more. All of our services are free of charge!

To date, The Women’s Center has saved over 41,000 babies and this has been made possible because we have been blessed with the support of so many wonderful souls like you and everyone involved from your parish. Thanks to you, we will continue in our efforts to promote a culture of life. Hopefully, with your prayers and assistance, we will see an end to abortion in our lifetime!

God bless you.

Sincerely,

Lowell Wallace Project Manager

ANOINTING OF THE SICK / RECONCILIATION can be arranged by contacting the Parish Office to have a priest celebrate the sacraments with the person who is seriously ill or homebound.

HOSPITAL VISITS can be made by our priests or deacons, if notified by family members or friends. Although sacramental needs of patients are administered by the hospital chaplain or by a local priest, in an emergency, Saint George clergy will respond to sacramental needs.

MINISTRY OF CARE: Mandated Agape Ministers of Care are available to visit, pray with, and bring Holy Communion to those who are sick and unable to attend Mass. Notify the parish office when this service is needed.

REGISTRATION: We welcome new members with open arms. Please call the parish office for more information.

STEWARDSHIP involves your time, talent and treasure. Contact the parish office for assistance in getting started in any of the Parish’s ministries and organizations. Please remember Saint George Parish when planning your estate or preparing your will.

MASS: Each week, we will celebrate a Sunday Vigil Mass on Saturday at 4:00 PM, and three Masses on Sunday - 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM, as well as a weekday Mass Monday through Friday at 8:15 AM.

RECONCILIATION: Every Saturday from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

BULLETIN INFORMATION provides updates on parish and Archdiocesan events. Please submit articles or recommendations to [email protected] by Friday at 4:00 PM before publication date. Because of space limitations, articles regarding Saint George activities and information, as well as Archdiocesan events and news will take priority. All articles are subject to editing and will be published at the discretion of the Pastor. No guarantees can be made as to size or placement of the articles.

PLEASE BE AWARE

Dispensation from Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation continues. We still advise that the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions stay at home and participate through livestreamed and televised Masses.

We will continue to serve those who cannot attend Mass in person by livestreaming Mass on our Facebook page and posting to our webpage and YouTube.

The Archdiocese is allowing parishes to open at 100% capacity. Physical distancing is not required for vaccinated persons. Physical distancing is recommended by public health authorities, when possible for unvaccinated persons. Masks are not required for vaccinated persons. Masks are strongly recommended for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons in all indoor pubic space.
