Christifidelis Award for Parish Leader

by

A parishioner who has helped immensely during our parish merger, our service to those in need, and the weekly celebration of our Saturday 5 p.m. Mass has been honored at the Archdiocesan Awards Ceremony this past Sunday, October 2 at Holy Name Cathedral. Patricia “Pat” Kubistal received the Christifideles Award, which honors laypersons for their parish service. Those who receive this award have demonstrated the values of the Papal Exhortation Christifideles Laici, which calls the laity to responsibility for the Church’s life springing from the mission of their Baptism.
Pat Kubistal serves the people of the Queen of Apostles community without exception and according to the needs of the individual.  For many years before our parish unification, she was a Minister of Communion, Lector, and member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Matthias Parish.  As the past Parish Council chairperson of St. Matthias, her kindness, patience, and leadership have been instrumental in welcoming people in and bringing our community together from our two former parishes.  She has led by example, embracing the newly united Queen of Apostles Parish where she continues to serve in her former ministries as Minister of Communion, Lector, and member of the Society of St, Vincent de Paul.  She has an innate goodness and a sense of humor to carry her through any issues along the way.  All that she does is rooted in her faith.  Pat has truly revealed the face of Jesus to our parish community.

Seminarian Education Fund

by

This weekend at all Masses, September 17-18, we will have a second collection for the Seminarian Education Fund. The fund helps to cover the cost to educate each archdiocesan seminarian as they proceed through the various stages of formation before ordination as a priest for Chicago. Seminarians take a great leap of faith-and invest vast amounts of time, talent and their own treasure to answer God’s call to serve. Please give generously to next weekend’s second collection. An envelope is included with this bulletin, or give online ,

For those parishioners who receive an envelope packet, please disregard the envelope that came with your packet dated September 25, entitled Seminarian Education fund. Our printers inadvertently added 2 envelopes with 2 different dates and titles for the same collection. Thank you for your support.
