Sacred Heart Religious Education needs you—your gifts, your energy, your passion, your faith, and your love! We currently have openings for catechists (teachers) and aides in a variety of grade levels. Catechists and aides volunteer on Sunday mornings from September through May to share our Catholic faith with the children of Sacred Heart. They work together as a team and are given the support and tools necessary to create dynamic lessons and meaningful faith experiences which have a lasting impact on the lives of their students. Catechists are volunteers of all ages who encourage children in their faith, while growing in their own. They are people just like you who don’t have answers to everything, but are willing to take the time to engage children in discovering who we are as Catholic people. Questions? Contact Sue Lehocky, slehocky@shparish.com,...

Renew My Church Links RMCMinutes3142107 7SignsParishVitality CardinalCupichLetterRMC A Message From Father Steve: An Open Invitation The pilot process for the Renew My Church initiative has just begun. There are two major paths by which it will continue. There are the grouping meetings, that is, the meetings held with the pastors and three representatives (Mary Flocco, Niki Campbell and Mike McNulty) from each of the five parishes of the grouping. All told, there are six grouping meetings on the schedule held between now and July. (A seventh meeting is yet to be scheduled sometime in October.) There are also parish sessions in each of the five parishes for Renew My Church. An introductory session has already been held at Sacred Heart with all of the lay leadership of the parish (the members of the two councils and the two boards, about 45 lay people in all.) Thanks to all who attended our most recent session on Tuesday, May 2. There are four more parish sessions (the fifth one is tentatively scheduled for November 14th). The remaining scheduled parish sessions will be held on the following evenings starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Sacred Heart Parish Center- Tuesday, May 16 Tuesday, July 18 Tuesday, July 25 All Sacred Heart parishioners are invited to attend these parish sessions along with the lay leadership. These sessions are meant to gather feedback and insights which are, in turn, shared with the representatives to the grouping meetings. There is something of a back-and-forth flow to this process so that what is talked about in the grouping meetings is shared with parishioners at large, and what transpires in the parish sessions is shared at the grouping meetings. To catch up those who are interested in what we talked about at the first parish session (held on March 14) notes from that gathering will be posted on the parish website early next week. Looking Forward What will we be considering in the upcoming parish sessions? On May 2 we will be examining Current Realities: Part One, with parish demographics and participation (be prepared for a lot of data, much of which is already shared with you in the annual State of the Parish report). On May 16 we will again take up Current Realities: Part Two, with the results of the Disciple Maker Index survey. On July 18 the focus will be on Discerning Models: Part One. And yes, you guessed it, on July 25 we...

Consider Becoming a Minister of Care
Ministry of Care is a beautiful outreach ministry that serves the sick and elderly by bringing prayer, presence and Holy Communion to those who are in the hospital, a nursing home or at home. This ministry allows those who are sick and homebound to experience the nearness of God and the Christian community of Sacred Heart through the presence of the Minister of Care and through the reception of the Eucharist at life’s most difficult moments. We are in particular need of Ministers of Care for our outreach to the two local nursing homes we serve, Lake Cook and Glen Oaks, both located on Skokie Blvd in Northbrook. Who can be a Minister of Care? Compassionate men and women who are: loving, caring and willing to spend time with the sick and suffering; good listeners; compassionate and empathetic; non-judgmental & confidential; open to sharing prayer and faith with the sick; and willing to undertake the necessary initial training for the ministry (six 2-hour sessions). Note: The training enhances the spirituality of the Minister of Care and prepares them to serve the faithful at their homes and elsewhere. How does one begin? Contact Judy Pyke or Mike McNulty at the Parish office. They’ll enroll you in the next scheduled Archdiocesan training session. You’ll apprentice with...
