Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Pope Benedict tells us, “ the Gospel of life which we proclaim, speaks to believers and non believers because it fulfills our hearts desires.” As we prepare for the month of the rosary, let us pray for strength to uphold and defend the truths of our faith and the requirements of the law to all who deny them. Let us ask our Lady to bless our nation and the weakest among us. Next weekend , the Bishop has asked all pastors to speak on respect life Sunday. Have a good week and thank you for all you, our parishioners , do to keep Christ the King parish alive and well. Happy 50th anniversary! Please mark the date for the Living Rosary. Fr. Jarosz

STAND UP FOR LIFE NATIONAL LIFE CHAIN On Sunday, October 4th, Respect Life Sunday, thousands of people of all faiths will be standing in silent witness of their reverence for life. Won’t you take an hour of your time to pray for the sin of abortion with your fellow Americans in a national LIFE CHAIN? This peaceful, prayerful demonstration sends a powerful message to passersby. It also coincides with the ongoing 40 Days for Life. In the western suburbs the chain will extend along Ogden Avenue, and especially near the four DuPage County abortion clinics, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Pick up signs in advance from Illinois Citizens for Life, 630/852-5448, or on the day of the LIFE CHAIN at the Southwest corner of York and Ogden in Hinsdale (near ACU), near the Access clinic in Downers Grove on 75th street between Lemont Road and Woodward St, in Wood Dale near 203 E. Irving Park Road (Advantage), and at Aanchor, 1186 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn. In Naperville the chain will form at Ogden and Washington and in Lisle at Ogden and Main. Several churches also sponsor chains. Call your own church to find out more details or call ICL at 630-852-5448, or go to www.LifeChain.net and click on Illinois and scroll through the locations. Come and be a witness for life. It is such a simple thing to do you can bring the whole family. If you feel you cannot stand for one hour, feel free to bring along a lawn chair. Thank you.

40 Days for Life Starts Next Week
Our Mission is to encourage physical well-being with others who desire a healthy lifestyle.
A great pro-life event begins in over 200 cities across the country: the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
We will meet at 4:30pm THE LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH.
From September 23rd through November 1st, 40 Days for Life prayer vigils will be held outside abortion clinics in 212 cities in 45 American states and five Canadian provinces. At each of our Du Page county abortion clinics parishioners from all over the diocese will be present in prayer.
We will run/walk the area for approximately 30-45 minutes and return for light refreshments. Directions and distances will be available at each event. WE WELCOME ALL AGES AND FITNESS LEVELS For more information, call Dr. Frank Frydrch or Julie Kearney at 630.629.1717 ext. 6117.
Diocesan Survey The Comprehensive Survey for Parishioners is now available. To complete the survey they need to go onto the Diocesan web site and click on the Lighting the Path to the Future logo. The results of our comprehensive survey will only be as good as the input we get.
Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. … Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. - 1 John 3:1-2
This will be the fifth ever 40 Days for Life campaign, and the results of the first four have been amazing: MORE THAN 70,000 PEOPLE of all ages have come out to abortion clinics to pray At least 1,561 BABIES HAVE BEEN SAVED from abortion -- and those are just the ones we know about 18 abortion workers have QUIT THEIR JOBS and walked away from the abortion industry Three abortion facilities COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN following local 40 Days for Life campaigns And this fall's 40 Days will be the biggest one yet -- more babies will be saved, more parents will be spared a lifetime of regrets, and more abortion workers will have their hearts touched and leave their jobs. Please join us for some prayer times please join the coordinator for our parish Madeline Cannatta and I for more details. Call Madeline at 630 629.1717 x0 Fr Jarosz

R. Mary, Mother of the Word Incarnate, you bore in your womb him whom the heavens cannot contain; help us to bear witness to Christ by the example of our lives And show the world the extravagant love of God. R. All: Remember, o most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

2009-10 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal Diocese of Joliet The Catholic Ministries Appeal supports God’s work all over this diocese.

We are still far from the goal. Let’s try to do our best! Fr. Jarosz

STAND UP FOR LIFE NATIONAL LIFE CHAIN On Sunday, October 4th, Respect Life Sunday, thousands of people of all faiths will be standing in silent witness of their reverence for life. Won’t you take an hour of your time to pray for the sin of abortion with your fellow Americans in a national LIFE CHAIN? This peaceful, prayerful demonstration sends a powerful message to passersby. It also coincides with the ongoing 40 Days for Life. In the western suburbs the chain will extend along Ogden Avenue, and especially near the four DuPage County abortion clinics, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Pick up signs in advance from Illinois Citizens for Life, 630/852-5448, or on the day of the LIFE CHAIN at the Southwest corner of York and Ogden in Hinsdale (near ACU), near the Access clinic in Downers Grove on 75th street between Lemont Road and Woodward St, in Wood Dale near 203 E. Irving Park Road (Advantage), and at Aanchor, 1186 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn. In Naperville the chain will form at Ogden and Washington and in Lisle at Ogden and Main. Several churches also sponsor chains. Call your own church to find out more details or call ICL at 630-852-5448, or go to www.LifeChain.net and click on Illinois and scroll through the locations. Come and be a witness for life. It is such a simple thing to do you can bring the whole family. If you feel you cannot stand for one hour, feel free to bring along a lawn chair. Thank you.

40 Days for Life Starts Next Week
Our Mission is to encourage physical well-being with others who desire a healthy lifestyle.
A great pro-life event begins in over 200 cities across the country: the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
We will meet at 4:30pm THE LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH.
From September 23rd through November 1st, 40 Days for Life prayer vigils will be held outside abortion clinics in 212 cities in 45 American states and five Canadian provinces. At each of our Du Page county abortion clinics parishioners from all over the diocese will be present in prayer.
We will run/walk the area for approximately 30-45 minutes and return for light refreshments. Directions and distances will be available at each event. WE WELCOME ALL AGES AND FITNESS LEVELS For more information, call Dr. Frank Frydrch or Julie Kearney at 630.629.1717 ext. 6117.
Diocesan Survey The Comprehensive Survey for Parishioners is now available. To complete the survey they need to go onto the Diocesan web site and click on the Lighting the Path to the Future logo. The results of our comprehensive survey will only be as good as the input we get.
Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. … Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. - 1 John 3:1-2
This will be the fifth ever 40 Days for Life campaign, and the results of the first four have been amazing: MORE THAN 70,000 PEOPLE of all ages have come out to abortion clinics to pray At least 1,561 BABIES HAVE BEEN SAVED from abortion -- and those are just the ones we know about 18 abortion workers have QUIT THEIR JOBS and walked away from the abortion industry Three abortion facilities COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN following local 40 Days for Life campaigns And this fall's 40 Days will be the biggest one yet -- more babies will be saved, more parents will be spared a lifetime of regrets, and more abortion workers will have their hearts touched and leave their jobs. Please join us for some prayer times please join the coordinator for our parish Madeline Cannatta and I for more details. Call Madeline at 630 629.1717 x0 Fr Jarosz

R. Mary, Mother of the Word Incarnate, you bore in your womb him whom the heavens cannot contain; help us to bear witness to Christ by the example of our lives And show the world the extravagant love of God. R. All: Remember, o most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

2009-10 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal Diocese of Joliet The Catholic Ministries Appeal supports God’s work all over this diocese.

We are still far from the goal. Let’s try to do our best! Fr. Jarosz
